List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - Top 10 Candidates

[ShereKhan]

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.

Maybe Patterson and GC are ‘playing us on a break’. He makes it sound like if bid on there’s a good chance GC won’t match ….. so the Eagles, who’d perhaps prefer Duursma and CDT but were going to bid on Patterson to ‘keep GC honest’ don’t any more … just in case he doesn’t get matched and they get him….

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Pick 2 and 3 for Humphrey and pick 13

 

[ShereKhan]

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.

Yes, good point . I’d like to change my mind and say Eagles are certainties to get pick-7

 

[eaglevision]

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

Spot on. I think we hit the draft with 1,2,7 and Carlton’s F2 for Chesser and our F3.

Reckon the kid is just making it clear he is happy to go anywhere and so he should.

 

[Morro]

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?

Patterson could be a serious no 1 contender, they wont let these types of charity picks slip away, they will find a way.

 

[Michaels]

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.

The age point I find really interesting.

I look at him being 30 and think, well what would have we wanted for Dusty if we traded him in 2021 while contracted? Which is when he was 30.

Bonnie Clarke can’t play 4D chess, he won’t understand all that. Straight over his head.

 

[Bird Man]

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

Lalor will make more than that by staying at RFC and being our best player. Perk of being one of the biggest if not the biggest, clubs in Australia

Whoever Tassy pick to give the money too, they will take it. The only one who might not is Nick Daicos

 

[sregit]

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?

You can go into deficit of points equal to pick 18.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Cody Walker scenario all over again with Patterson, campaigners on here trying to come up with a magic formula to get him fmd give it up were no chance.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Not saying you can't discuss it mate.

But it's just lunacy. It just isn't getting to happen.

Other clubs won't just not match a bid that they can easily match, so we can get someone.

We should discuss getting Callaghan, Daicos or Jagga I suppose.

Much like it was lunacy if anyone had suggested we'd win the 2017 flag and 2 more at the end of 2016. Its 99% that they wont pass on either of them, but there's always a 1% chance something may happen. I can't see them letting him go but you never know

Our entire cohort of draftees from last year is out of contract in 2027. Huge level of risk there.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Anyone heard of the combine results from today?

Groupie_ was lapped 12 times.(1 lap time trial)

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Our entire cohort of draftees from last year is out of contract in 2027. Huge level of risk there.

Worst case scenario, we lose 1 or 2 and receive outrageously good draft currency in the trade. None of them are free agents.

Certainly nothing worth catastrophising over atm.

Its $5mill.

Nope

 

[Mr Magic]

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.

where is Ainsworth going??

Gold Coast is a different club and Dimma has his own way

would not surprise me if a different rationale is going on

I do not pretend to know what is exactly going on

yeah but Tassie can't be cellar dwellers too much form the outset

Gale will have his own ideas and want to offer the Tassie crowd something one would think

 

[tigs2010]

We see you little tiger fan

 

[tigs2010]

Dovaston 3rd all time.

Grlj breaks 3 seconds. Was expecting sub 2.9 though.

 

[Bird Man]

Whoever Tassy pick to give the money too, they will take it. The only one who might not is Nick Daicos

Daicos won't for the EXACT same reasons i just gave.

Players "brands" are way more valuable now than they ever have been.
