List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - Top 10 Candidates

[tiger_tough]

Would you change your mind on who we pick at 3 or 4 if let’s say Patterson was up for grabs

No idea. I haven't really looked into any of the academy kids.

Welcome back patto

 

[ShereKhan]

Sounds like that’s exactly what they are doing. Probably ends up being a question of Humphrey vs Patterson and change, which may be why he made the comments he did.

They’ll easily get their academy kids.

Flanders gets them #7 which let’s say goes to Demons for Trac.

Then they get picks for Budarick (20’s) and Ainsworth (30’s). And will swap pick #6 for multiple picks worth way more points form Bummers or Blues. They’ll have points to spare.

 

[TJTIGER]

They are going to need to cough up picks to get Petracca.

Unless they part ways with more than just Flanders there is a very good chance they won’t have enough after the Petracca transaction

Interesting situation with a new coach & petracca has tried to leave now 2wice that's been reported. Would they let him go a bit cheaper to give the coach a clean slate, so they can move forward?

I don’t doubt that. They also have 2 years of future pick to play with. The thing I paid attention to were the comments from Patterson.

Even though he’s got limited media training, they are very odd comments to make about the club that has supported your development for years and that you’re likely to be drafted to if there’s a good chance that’s going to happen.

Something like I’m happy to go anywhere but would love the opportunity to repay their investment in me etc etc.

No NGA/academy kid in recent memory has ever said anything like what he did. Watch this space.

 

[TJTIGER]

Forgive my ignorance, why would GC bypass a top 3-4 talent to take 3 20-30 talents?
Who would be happy if we traded pick 3 for 25, 28 and 30 lol

Possibly if they believe their high End talent is sufficient but they need to strengthen what is around them to take the next step? but only guessing TBH...

Possibly!

Maybe not to the extent of how they are pushing Oliver out the door but yeah maybe they relax a bit on the return.

 

[Wrenny]

We’re so drafting Emmett with the pick we get for Young aren’t we. Assuming it’s one for this year.

If Eagles are looking to get GC pick 6 (7 after Allan compo) there's no way your going to shaft Gold Coast from getting their academy players by bidding early.

Eagles current picks 16, 22 & 23 that will be 17, 23 & 24 after Allan compo. That's what it's going to take to get pick 6 (7) from Gold Coast and you then won't bid with picks 1 & 2. I have no doubt about it.

Maybe, they have supported him yes, but he likely has worked hard to get to where he is? I don't have a problem with his honesty myself, just says if GC don't take him he's determined to succeed...

 

[TJTIGER]

Maybe not to the extent of how they are pushing Oliver out the door but yeah maybe they relax a bit on the return.

That's at least 2 players who have indicated a desire to leave their club... and not for the first time. For the sake of unity etc time to grant their wishes I I would think. Last thing I'd want as an incumbent coach is players not invested?

Eagles current picks 16, 22 & 23 that will be 17, 23 & 24 after Allan compo. That's what it's going to take to get pick 6 (7) from Gold Coast and you then won't bid with picks 1 & 2. I have no doubt about it.

23 is off to Lions for Starcevich but if we get pick 7 from them yes there is no way we’ll bid on their academy players this year or in the foreseeable future.

That will be an unspoken (or spoken) part of the deal.

Yeah true, makes me think you guys bidding on their academy players even less likely.

Pick 7 is 1543 points, picks 17 & 23 is 1532 points and pick 24 (621 points) to the Lions for Starcevich.

Will the Eagles throw pick 38 to the Gold coast as well? Kind sucks if you do, as that's what a lot of us were hoping we would get for Young. TBH i thought it would be your pick in the 50's for Young.

Anyway, pick 38 is 277 points so pick 7 for 17,23 & 38 could be on the cards.

Gold Coast would end up with picks

15,17,18,23,36,38 = 3,935 points. The Flanders pick would probably go to Melbourne for Petracca, plus who knows what Ainsworth & Budarick might get them if a suitor can be found.

 

[ShereKhan]

The Suns have enough points to match bids for Uwland and Patterson providing the pick they get for Flanders is enough to satisfy the Dees for Petracca, they will however go into a bit of deficit next year.

What is looking likely is that they wont have enough points to match Addinsal, Coulson or Collins.

You’re forgetting picks theyll get for Budarick and Ainsworth. They’ll romp it in.

 

[ShereKhan]

If West Coast picked Patterson number one, that would get Gold Coast thinking

Why would West coast do this??

West Coast they do not have his type and think he will not depart, assuming they get the other pick they can pick whoever else.

this is where it is interesting. would Gold Coast match at one, possibly not as Zeik have to be right up their and I think more likely to match as some rate him higher and brother at the club

greater chance CDT slips to Bombers but maybe not.

Imagine is West Coast got Patterson and then Sharp, that would be a bloody interesting combination. probably allow Harley Reid to roam a bit more

If Patterson and Uwland are as good as touted, there’s zero chance GC won’t match any bids.

There’s still a 10% discount and they’ll get points for Budarick and probably Ainsworth (and who knows on Humphrey?).

I just can’t see a world where Patterson and Uwland are rated clearly superior to whomever they’d get later in the draft but GC don’t match?? Why on earth would they do that?

They’ve been given absolute rolled gold gifts in Uwland and Patterson … they won’t miss out on them.

Don't they need an adequate number of vacant list spots to take on all of those picks?

 

[TJTIGER]

There is a lot to play out before things settle prior to the draft. I don't recall things being this crazy at this time of year b4. One things for sure that 2nd round pick we gave to NTH just seems to continue to get later ...

 

[ShereKhan]

On Petracca it’s the what’s he worth to the suns piece though.

He is contracted too.

If suns think he is the difference between a semi and a prelim / gf, they will pay up and dees will know this and push hard I reckon.


On the deficit stuff, I think there is a limit on how much deficit you can go into?

IMO if they take his entire contract then #7 is more than enough. He’s past his best and nearly 30yo… and on $1.2m/year for 4 more years I think.

Demons won’t pay a cent of his contract and should be thrilled with pick #7 to get $5m off their books.

I think that’s the plan 17,23,38 for 7. Hopefully get Cumming or Schubert with that pick.

I know literally nothing about Young, but 57 will come in after bid matches and should cover you for Kellaway.

STK are offering a F3 for Liam Ryan. Cheap ****ers.

 

[ShereKhan]

well yes, but a couple have to fall off the other end of the GC cart if Petracca is coming in too

worth thinking about, e.g. maybe a gentleman's agreement that we don't bid at 3,4 and in return we get a good deal on a GC discard?

They’re already falling off … Budarick, Ainsworth, Flanders … total salaries probably $1.6m / season.

The real opportunities will come in 2–3 years when potentially massive contracts are needed for the likes of Humphrey, Lombard, Rogers, Graham, Walter, Read, Patterson, Uwland x 2 etc….

They will be balls deep with commitments to established guns like Andrew, Rowell, Petracca, Rioli, Anderson, King, Miller et al and there’ll be at least 2-3 elite youngsters ripe for the picking.

Clubs will come with bigger ‘overs’ for pick-7.

Obviously there’s a lot to shake out, but I think you’ll need to give more than 17,23,38. Carlton and Bombers your biggest dangers to offer more points.

Don’t underestimate the no bid part of it. 1,200 points.

Carlton won’t be after 7, too close to Dean and they will want future picks for Walker. Bombers have 3x20s picks, Dogs want 19 for Khamis so they may have 14,20,33.

Yeah but others won't have the fear of Eagles having first 2 picks. Makes sense for both clubs to come to an agreement.

I heard Tasmania can give a 3 million sign on bonus and 2million a year to one player.
I hope they don't target Lalor.
