I'd be surprised if Young doesnt just end up a Cat B pickup post draft.
NAS is also going to be a restricted FA, we'll need to trade so much to get him it isnt funny. Cant see him ever coming back personally.
Well if you can only use 2 picks per player, and we can only have as many picks as list vacancies, we would need to create extra vacancies, maybe via delisting and relisting, to have enough picks, to get enough points to do all the matching.
Getting all 3, especially at inflated values is going...
Play Ramm, despite the impact that might have on results.
Play Visentini solo, despite the impact.
Be extra cautious with injured players and give more exposure to the depth players.
Trial some of our likely delist material, ie Tommy A, Walsh, etc.
Claim injury for Dougie Cochrane all year...
The DVI for next year is a huge issue really.
Theyre right, change the index for next year and the impact is far more reasonable.
Going to be near impossible with watered down picks to match for Salopek, Pilot and Rodan. We just flat out wont have enough picks to do it. We will need to max...
Maybe we're building, although 2 nice games is hardly enough to base future decisions on. Regardless though, we're building on really poor foundations. If we dont fix the foundations we wont win premierships.
Ive got no interest in going straight back to the Hinkley mid table mediocrity mire we...
This part wont work though. You can't go and hit the trade market desperately trying to gather up more points, then say, "oh we gave up pick 5 for a couple late 1sts, but we aren't actually going to match if you bid early".
No one is falling for that.
I also don't think trying to trade them...
Very different era, and our list profile was significantly different.
We have several years of MSD picks and very low draft picks as the only things filling our list. Ultimately to win the whole damn thing we'll need greater levels of top end talent.
Can't see Dougie going pick 1.
Injury marred draft year, and we should be basically hiding him for the rest of the year with made up issues.
The question is whether we still want him to be drafted in top 5 because of the bonus pick. Probably works out great for us if He goes at say 5 and...
We finish bottom 4. Dougie bid on at 5 or later. Walker bid before our 1st pick giving us a end of first round compo.
We use the bottom 4 pick, get Dougie for the compo and 2nd rounders.
Especially when they were always unlikely to get the matched player.
Richmond would be stupid not to bid on Walker at 1. Carlton will match, Richmond will get the kid they want at 2 and also a bonus pick.
Probably the stupidest rule weve ever heard of.
