At what expense? They lose Treloar. They trade out their 2021 1st rounder for a bag of chips and use that to bid on Coleman before trading out to get a future 3rd. I dont understand their machinations unless they really thought we wouldnt match a Coleman bid? There would have been plenty of teams looking to get a future 1st round pick in 2021. Surely you could have extracted more value than pick 24, pick 30 and a future 4th - especially if you use 24 to get matched on an academy prospect and then trade that for a future 3rd rounder.

They didn't trade it for a future third. They traded it to move back 3 spots and pick up a future 3rd. And then traded back a couple of spots again for another future third.

So they turned 24 in to pick 30 and a future 3rd from Adelaide and a future 3rd from Fremantle.

Sydney out for an awkward dinner? No computer in sight.

Yeah, its a pretty crap hand we've been dealt and can't help we were asleep at the wheel to not have traded up fractionally to get a player before a bid on Coleman.

Conevsrely, I'm expecting whoever we do take with the next pick that the club will say they'd have taken him at the pick we took Coleman with anyway.

Collingwood trading up probably caught us off guard a bit. It would've been tricky to work up how high to trade up, especially given we don't have a lot of trade capital available. Cost Adelaide a future third round pick to move up two spots, we had to move up at least five.

 

[KissKiss]

There's Neale as a ruck gone

 

[briztoon]

It feels like we were the only ones really inconvenienced by a bid coming in for an academy/FS earlier than we would've liked (in terms of losing a pick because of an early pick). Sydney got a pick before Campbell, Collingwood two before McInnes, Hawks their second round pick before Downie etc.

Pretty much.

Twomey tipping us to pick up one of the other prospects late, not sure that's news.

 

[briztoon]

I think Lore is battling the same issues the rest of us have in that no one's providing up to date information, so she's just updating the picks as the draft order reaches them.

AFL tracker saying Carlton have 36.

 

[Groo2]

When is our next pick?

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Eddie Ford and Jack Carroll still on the board JB and briz.

Can't believe Carroll is still available, what's up with that

 

[Sproj]

We aren't at 36 or 37.

Yep saw we have been pretty heavily linked to Walsh and Heath I think late. Still hoping to get one in safely

And Adelaide have pick 37.

Walsh would be great, get him to entice his brother up too.

 

[jjami15]

Heath...Heath...Heath

 

[KissKiss]

Melbourne look to be trading now.

Edit: nope were just on the phone

Question on contested game.

Lore's updated her's too. Her next one is the raw pick of 49, so I assume that'll disappear when we get close too.

 

[Dylan12]

Spewing if you were out and recorded the AFL Draft on Fox given the draft telecast went from 7-10pm.

Its already 10pm and we haven't even had pick 34 yet.

The AFL keep talking up these 'events' but as a spectacle they have a lot of work to do.

 

[JasRulz63]

Pretty disappointing that the AFL don't have some sort of draft tracker on their website.

 

[jackess]

Live trading is really much more confusing than exciting

Especially with the horrible coverage and our clubs lack of a media department

 

[lionraven]

Meh, draft is the most boring part of the AFL. Everyone is a gun and everyone is picking up sliders until they get delisted 4 years later. Remember how Matho was such a huge slider and an absolute gem pick up? Remember Cox the two footed wunderkind? Im sure pick 50 odd will have the same minute chance of being successful as pick 30 odd.

 

[Lace Out]

Great show

 

[jjami15]

Pick 53?

 

[dlanod]

They have every other year. Obviously COVID has really taken it out of Victoria. They're probably all still on the beers.
