RT, it is not about having a boy. You have actually argued two different things here. First you said the club may not be as keen because there is no years of data on Robey. Then you shifted to him being a late bolter and whether the improvement is sustainable. Now you are making it about me.

My point from the start has been simple. The absence of years of junior notes should not drag down their judgement of what he is producing now. That is the inflexibility I am talking about. Lindsay had all the junior hype and years of data behind him and he is the one sliding.
It’s not about “lack of data” or “drafting notes”. It’s that he wasn’t even in the elite programs throughout his full junior career. There’s not the body of work there, so the risk is much higher and must factor in to some degree.

Gold Coast have 6 picks that will be absorbed in matching bids: 15, 18, 24, 28, 29, 36
Pick 15 might become 25 & 26 (from North) which means 7 picks being used to match academy bids

Brisbane will lose 17 & 23 when matching Annable

Pick 38 will probably move up a couple spots with earlier picks now used to match bids.

Should trade 38 for Gold Coast future 2nd (tied to Dees) and pick 52 this year (Kellaway bid match).

GC ended up with enough points to match bids for both Uwland and Patterson, even if the bids come at picks #1 and #2.
After trading out pick 37 in the Petracca deal they are now short by 277pts if bids come at 2 & 4.

If there were bids at 1 & 2 they'd be 1160pts short which is right on the cusp of the maximum that they can go into deficit.

Yep must be comfortable either going into deficit or trading the futures they've accumulated for more points.

Seems like West Coast has the power to make Coulson, Addinsal and Murray available in the open pool.
 
Someone will trade for 15 & another for 18 and accumulate even more. It never ends. They'll get all of them without breaking a sweat. Keep in mind they need the list spots to hold the picks so they'll need to be able to grab the players.

Did they get Dees F2? Would happily trade 38 for that when they need it.
 
As much as North are probably deluded in a lot of ways, they’re probably not wrong. I’d still prefer pick 3 thanks North, but Whitlock would’ve been projected to go pretty high in the open pool this year, it being a far less exciting draft and bereft of talls.

Really think we lucked out last year, our haul was special.

Not necessarily. WC will not bid at pick 1, quite possibly at 2. It would be matched and even if they bid again at 3 it would be matched. GC would still have approximately 6 or 7 hundred points left + 11 hundred points available in deficit. Coulson, Addinsal and Murray will not go that early and therefore could still be available to GC.

Addinsall getting bid on early could be the one that ****s them I guess. If someone just went around 12-15 theyd probably pass.

I am not as convinced Whitlock would go top 10 this year as some. Maybe but not a given IMO

He wouldn't. Likely still doesn't go first round.

Will say its funny how much the narrative changers. This time last year some people had Sharp was clear no.1 and would have taken him over Lalor had he been eligible. Greeves was another pick 1 contender. Now anyone from the second round of last year could be a first rounder. Answers lies somewhere in the middle.
