Yeah....nah. No chance he leaves a team on the rise. No way.

A GC sporting team on the rise, I’ll believe it when I see it

Dogs now can use 5 picks (2x2nd, 3x3rd) to match for the best player in the draft.

What a joke!

 

[Crows I Am]

OK, my attempt at a PlayStation trade. im assuming that rumors on Essendon being really keen on McDonald and NM wanting an extra top 10 pick are accurate.

Essendon picks 6,7 & 8
NM picks 2 & 12
Ade picks 1 & 9

becomes

Essendon picks 1 & 12 (possibly McDonald & O’Driscoll)
NM picks 7,8 & 9 (possibly Perkins, Bruhn & Cox/Reid)
Ade picks 2 & 6 (possibly Holland’s & Tillthorpe)

North have said today that they plan to take pick 2 to the draft now.

Absolutely
Something is wrong with the system when they are getting the best player with their first pick being 29

 

[Mutineer]

North have said today that they plan to take pick 2 to the draft now.

David Noble....and he'll have Brisbane's intel as well as the that of the North recruiters.

 

[TexForPM]

Been saying for a while we must bid on JUH and campbell.

Can't let the oppo get away with these kids for virtually nothing.
If they didn't match (never going to happen) we would be happy with either.

 

[WeedsMullet84]

North have said today that they plan to take pick 2 to the draft now.

Of course they would say that, 9 days out from the draft....

 

[Crow till I die]

Twomey suggesting we might bid on Reef McInnes at pick 9.
Sounds like we are putting a little pressure on for a trade. I like it.

where did you hear that one..is there any link?

 

[hey shorty]

Ughhhhhh

I'm reaaaaallly hoping that after this Draft people can do away with the 'bidding on players' outside of a talent order theories.

He would have to be high on the talent order, kid is a jet

 

[Hodgy]

North have said today that they plan to take pick 2 to the draft now.

Yeah, but in the same article they say they want 2 top 10 picks to move 2. Sounds like Essendon would be the stumbling block, but getting McDonald might change that.

AFL Draft Power Rankings: McDonald firming as Crows' first pick

With just more than a week until the 2020 AFL Draft, ESPN.com.au expert Chris Doerre has revealed his latest Power Rankings ahead of the big night, with some players making a late run up the board...

[Untouchables22]

Yeah, but in the same article they say they want 2 top 10 picks to move 2. Sounds like Essendon would be the stumbling block, but getting McDonald might change that.

Theyre being reasonable then. I'd want a top 5 and another top 10.

Or all three of Essendon's picks for 2 and 12.

 

[Mego Red]

oh Mick

the previous 499 of you weren’t this dim, what happened?

This is genuinely some of your best work

 

[mattymac]

So if it’s changed in 2-3 years what’s to stop it changing again?

It probably will change again, but it sure as s**t won't be going back in time to the heyday of the tall lead up forward unless there are massive rule changes

 

[FAITH]

interesting some 'reputable sources' now having Thithorpe possibly slipping to pick 10.
Who would've thought?

 

[Golumless]

Just listened to the interview. Confirms what most of us thought:

.LeCras + more
-thinks he's still growing(!)
-has played a lot in the midfield in younger days
If you get the time it's an enjoyable interview & being 30 odd minutes you get to know him better than the couple of brief ones I've heard.
Let's face it - I haven't heard DG-B interviewed, but LMcD, RT,WP & EH all come across as top, mature, impressive young lads. I think they all pass the character test - now let their footy skills do the talking.

Was it Tom Lynch (GC, now Rich) that was similar in regards to playing midfield before a massive growth spurt in the 24 months prior to the draft?

It's wonderful that you don't consider yourself "reputable".

 

[FAITH]

It's wonderful that you don't consider yourself "reputable".

more "Elite"

 

[Mego Red]

Kinda like a more athletic Sam Mitchell type?

No, Sam Mitchell was prolific is the number of disposals he got. Campbell until now just hasn't got near the ball as much. He hasn't been the best NSW player throughout his junior years.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Would anyone be disappointed with Campbell at 1 if Sydney didn't match? I'm not sure why he's not in the "fantastic five".

He looks so good, also sounds like a top human being also.

You don't take players like that when there are KPF available that are legitimately in pick 1 range. Campbell a very good looking prospect but he's not a big ball winner. Swans wouldn't match pick 1, not enough 2020 points and would ruin their 2021 draft as well.

Also be a big risk of go home after two years, been in their academy since he was 11/12 so he's red and white and Sydney city through and through. You don't potentially burn pick 1.

 

[FAITH]

lets stop this nonsense about Campbell being bided at pick 1. More so pick 11ish.

 

[Brett Cummings]

oh Mick

the previous 499 of you weren’t this dim, what happened?

im not mick but its hilarious this one guy who's not even here anymore lives in your head rent free.

 

[blitzen666]

so all this talk leading towards McDonald pick 1? or the sneaky chance of hollands

 

[Mego Red]

interesting some 'reputable sources' now having Thithorpe possibly slipping to pick 10.
Who would've thought?

Which reputable source?
