Analysis 2025 Draft watch

This was my attempted simulation, including some live trades, though I think I gave us a late pick from North that might not be active on the night.



I think this is something that could actually happen, but I'd expect Essendon to maybe trade ahead of the Sweid bid (perhaps with us instead of North?).

But yeah, if we think a bid won't come until Melbourne, game on for trading up, as an Ison bid is probably coming after 25.

Interesting the only other player Cal has us linked with (besides Dean and Ison) is Dovaston.

What did we give up in your trade to get Richmond's second pick?

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Like the look of dovaston

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Dovaston has a bit going for him, but moreover love his competitiveness

They think we're going to trade pick 9 and 11, draft Dean and Ison, and pick up a future first.

I think Dovaston only happens if the Dean bid is later than expected.

 

[josephone]

Are we that desperate for a small forward? Our guys have been underwhelming, sure, but is that the most pressing need we have?

If we get the chance I'd prefer to pick up a ball-user off the wing/HB who can get our attack moving.

Just like the cold November Rain, the draft reminds us - nothing lasts forever, not even that prospect’s availability

It's sad that I read this and now am expecting an injury to be announced

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Bombers and Pies have some interest in pick 9 but there’s hasn’t been as much interest as we thought in pick 9. A bid at pick 3 for Dean would be troublesome for us, the ideal scenario is a bid around pick 7 with our first pick absorbing that bid and our second pick sliding back. No clubs are offering future firsts for our 2 picks. - Cal Twomey on Gettable.

 

[Rugged Blue Bagger]

Genuine question, as I've only seen the videos, but what was wrong with Sotaram's version?

This explains it better than I could haha

Have you turned into Royal Blues?

Wow imagine this turns out

so potentially then live trading on the night if a player is available that other clubs are interested in

[KnaveyBlue]

If Twomey has Essendon bidding on Dean, then you can basically guarantee they've told him that's what they'll be doing.

me likey, it's what we need just depends if we have an extra top 20 pick

 

[GT619]

Dovaston has a bit going for him, but moreover love his competitiveness

just looks a voss type player hopefully austin listens to him this time

 

[Rugged Blue Bagger]

I see this highly likely and playing out like this:
Bombers bid on Dean with 2nd pick
We have Lindsay & Dovaston available

Melbourne could obviously pick either Dov or Lind with one of their picks instead of Schubert.

A good outcome for us either way IMO

 

[Stamos]

They think we're going to trade pick 9 and 11, draft Dean and Ison, and pick up a future first.

That’s not what they said.
They said nobody is offering F1s.

 

[Stamos]

so potentially then live trading on the night if a player is available that other clubs are interested in

Except that other clubs would have to go early, because we’ll need to trade before we match the Dean bid.

 

[Donflicted]

That’s not what they said.
They said nobody is offering F1s.

With the Saints wanting the draft Jevan Pou we could move up to GCS pick then we could send them that pick within his range for the STKs F1 then on trade that i know its not much but its an idea

 

[tragic]

just looks a voss type player hopefully austin listens to him this time

Lucky he didn't listen to him with Dan Houston

 

[marcmurphy3]

It seems if a bid comes in at 6-8, we'll have several decent options. Slide 11 back a few spots or get a good deal for 9 (likely F1) as clubs try trade up for the right player.

Trouble is if a bid comes early, both those options might be off the table. Clubs probs not willing to sacrifice an F1 to trade up blind while if we let 11 slide it likely goes into the 20s where it might be gobbled up by an Ison bid.

Westcoast and Richmond can really stuff us if they want to.

We can't even give in to Westcoasts blackmail to trade 9 for points as it's a useless trade unless we have a club agreeing to trade 11 for an F1, which they might not be willing to at that point.

 

[David Sylvian]

No one is interested in our pick 9 !?!? Large cow droppings ahoy.
Frankly it doesnt matter.
Dean in the door Ison to follow and speculative pick thereafter.
Everything else is maths and a measuring stick.
