Spoiler: 2024 Draft Picks

 

[Merlin007]

There's obviously been a call made that we need to start making significant improvements now and are therefore valuing our draft picks for next year at a discount for the benefit of fast tracking a year.

Can't say I'm fully against it. Who knows what the right course of action is from here, we're almost in uncharted territory.

I’m cautiously for it; others have pointed out improvement means a more attractive destination for free agents and trades, so any ‘unders’ in selling futures can be made up in other list mechanisms

 

[Flawed Genius]

F1 for 13 and 23 or 29, maybe?

13 and 29 would value F1 at pick 6

13 and 23 would be ~pick 5

Add some later bits and pieces to whet their appetite?

F1 for #13 & #23

#25 for Daniel
#44 for Parker
#67 for Darling
#2 for O'Sullivan
#13 for Tauru
#23 for a KPF

Or do they want #13 & #23 for Houston?

I'm for it, unless it goes wrong, in which case I reserve the right to be against it

Have heard that a complex 4 team trade was discussed over the weekend, involves Richmond-Freo-WC and us.

Obviously centers around Bolton & Baker going to Freo and WC but also involves us sliding down the order and shifting some picks in the later rounds to potentially facilitate The Daniel & Parker trades.

I'll be very curious to see if it comes to fruition.

 

[Flawed Genius]

#28, #40, #46, #54, #65 & (#6-#12) for #9 & (#45-#50)

Essendon absolute banditry

 

[Scottroo]

If we trade F1 for 13 Brady should be sacked

 

[DesertRoo]

We've been too shit for too long. Historical levels of shitness all around.

I'm in the Trade For Immediate Improvement camp, but we can't allow ourselves to be outright ripped off in the process. The only kind of exception is our F1. I'd actually prefer we just get rid of the pick so that then all focus from everyone can be on how good we can be next year without that distraction. Bleh. It's possible the club has broken me a little.

You’re trading our future 1st so the members can focus on footy?
I doubt anyone on the playing list is looking at the draft wondering if a saviour is coming in.

Pick 6 plus something else of significance would be our target there, you'd think.

Mate, this scenario isn't worth expending hypothetical outrage on

MEGATRADE!!!!!!!

First he’ll need to be reinstated for all the other times he was sacked for things that hadn’t happened

Football department, not players.

But yes, also the members lol. Like I said, I'm a little broken right now by the club.

FIFY

Will be quite amusing if there is no kako bid before 9 now

Squeaky bum time now

I don't like it.

It is costing teams a fortune to move future picks into this year and next year we have a heap of spuds out of contract. We are going to need some decent picks to replace them.

 

[The Talent Scout]

We don’t even know if he wants to come to the club?

What’s batshit crazy is wanting to take unders for a small sugar hit.

It’s called a rebuild. This is the time to stock up on talent.

All I have heard on this board for the better part of a week is let’s overpay for a player and let undervalue what we have as far as draft capital.

With or without Houston, it’s unlikely we push out of the bottom four.

People just need to be patient.

With the draft points value dropping for later picks next year, that first is going to become highly valuable with these clubs needing to find points. But let’s piss it away for a half eaten twistie.

 

[year of the roo]

Lol at the media carry on about this pick 13. It's like it's the best draft pick ever created.

Argument could be made that as fans we’re fretting because the F1 is likely a top 5 and exceedingly valuable - while the club thinks the top 5 are simply the next crop of elite mids and we’re already well sorted for those and are now addressing the rest of the field by whatever means necessary.

We simply have to trust and back Sheez Wardlaw McKercher LDU Powell and Duursma to be an elite group when they’re mature.

Lot of KPP and positional talent from 10-25 most drafts and our already banked elite mids give us leverage over those who desperately need access.

Any move that legitimately keeps them happy and contracted / helps them develop / pushes the club up the ladder / improves FA-trade recruitment going forward .. I’m thinking we’re ready to take, even if it’s a bit scary.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Melbourne to swoop in late with Pick 9 for Houston I reckon!

If Houston goes to Melbourne he has rocks in his head.

I’m generally over all things list management the only thing I’m not 100% on is say for example Kako gets bid on and Bombers need to use a plethora of later round picks to be equal to the points denomination of the pick Kako is bid on, do Essendon need to have the amount of list spots available of all the picks they have stockpiled or can they just stock pile as many picks as they like?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Why do we want Pick 13 so much?

 

[DesertRoo]

I hear ya,
I simply don't trust any staff member at the club at the moment. They need to show drastic improvement. I honestly can't believe how uncompetitive they are, and yet we seem to just think next year will be better.
we've picked up Darling who can't leap, and still stuffing around with Parker. yet still haven't addressed glaring needs like pressure forwards, something needs to change.
