I agree I reckon u should hold out fellas!
I’m sure u will be more than satisfied going to the draft with “go home risk factor” pick 1 , a sliding 23 , 37 , 58 & 81 by the day & with a team of spent players in gaff , sheed , yeo , Kelly ,Cripps , McGovern, Darling all over 30 with Nic Nat , Shuey & Hurn all retired .
Perfect recipe for a quick rebuild” I say !

Shinbeggar Exhibit A

Shinbeggar Exhibit A

I know right? How embarrassing.

We need midfield depth players urgently. I'd say we use all our picks on mids just to build some depth in that area. A mature mid might be needed aswell to come straight in.

We going into 2024 so far with
Kelly Reid Gibney as locks
The below list of mids who all have question marks into 2024
Sheed???? Is he going backwards
Gaff ??? Has he fallen off the cliff
Chesser??? Where is he at
Hewitt??? Is he a mid or forward
Yeo??? Is he a mid or backflank

Yeah that's a pretty risky midfield line up to go into a season with. If we lose even one we will be uncompetitive.

Looking at that all 5 draft picks we have should be used on mids. We need some depth badly. I'd like us to use our 2nd pick on a mid. Forget Collard or pick him late if still there. It be negligent to list requirements to pick him at our 2nd pick. Collard in my opinion is extremely overrated. Little forward pocket that played good in a handful of games. Where was he though most of the season. We have plenty of forward pockets which in reality is a position that's been pretty easy to fill over the years. We even have Brockman now to add to it.

Our forward pockets. We go into 2024 with
Cripps Long Ryan Brockman and Hewitt Culley could even play there. That's all we need for the role. Can pick up one next year's draft if it's needed as they are not hard to obtain.

This year’s draft is very short on mids.

Not many mids selected from the second round onwards make it, looking at the past 8 drafts.

In a considerably shallower draft, midfielders is the one position I’d be actively avoiding outside the first round.

Melbourne just traded to move up from 14 to 11. They do not rate anything past 14 apparently or have a target in mind.

They won't do that deal simply to make North and WC happy.

Maybe they want Duursma?

Vic media's really done a number on these blokes.

North would be better off looking to trade three back for dees 6 and 11. Take a draft of mckercher, O’Sullivan and Murphy and be set for years.

If Wardlaws hammies can hold together they’ll be fine in a couple of years.

The additional 3 end of first rounders was a ridiculous additional assistance and was only given to try and manufacture the desired result of landing them Reid the marquee player.

They’ll no doubt end up taking mckercher and duursma and then be crying poor again next year to the afl because their defence leaks goals like a seive

 

[Slash136]

The Pav comparison to Curtin is a strange one. Pav was a key forward for 90% of his career. Curtin has shown no ability to go forward at all.

Didn't he kick 5 goals in a final last year?

They could also try turn 2 of those end of first rounders 17 18 for pick 8.

Then have 2 6 8 11 15

Then they could give that to us for 1.

Nah Pav retired a few years ago.

And is hardly likely to have performed that well in a big game like a final.

Just ******* take Reid it’s simple, he’s a franchise player which is what he need atm and the fan girls of the afl will eat him up.

 

[plays tall 1]

I know it's a meme, but we probably do need a (tallish) HBF with midfield potential to replace Hurn and Yeo.

Is there a tough, speedy, 190cm HBF that has a long-range, booming kick? I'd actually be keener for a Curtin type if he was about 10cm shorter

Bodie Ryan is tough, good overhead and has good kicking depth. He was excellent at the championships. Beau Waters type?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

In a world where you could trade future picks more than one season in advance and there was no rules on taking a certain amount of picks in the first round ala the NBA I do wonder what would be offered.

Bye

That says it all. Quality over quantity.

Jay is fast becoming my most respected vic “journalist”. Good reading, more confident than ever that he has a good source at the Eagles.

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-reportedly-offer-three-firstround-draft-picks-to-west-coast-in-the-race-for-harley-reid/news-story/5f0f8ac66effeded770136e1482567cc

Jay's articles definitely giving the impression he has a better source around our recruiting team than most other journos. Writes it with some certainty and extra detail where others are just speculating. Promising stuff.

I once came in peas but that earnt a lifetime ban from Woolies.

If you got Reid he'd probably ask to go to a real club just like JHF last year.
