2017 trade/draft thread

If he's become obsolete as a HBF, why don't we try him in the midfield then? It's what we recruited him for.

IF he got his disposal sorted I think he'd be a good replacement for Hutchy - he's faster, a potentially better disposer and can tackle. Doesn't need to think as much tagging.

Don't get the Acres love yet this is the same person who volunteered to be sponsor WA Ink!!!!

Too be fair when we took our players I looked at the list avaliable and thought it said Matso.

Can we expect to remain relevant when we are not picking draftees early?

Here is our possible best 22 for next year with their draft number

The number under the name is the original draft number they were taken the year they were drafted. I have used draft pick 100 when for a rookie. Looking at the team for 2018 and prior to drafting and trading, it looks like my view of our best 22 is that they were taken at an average of draft pick 27. That seems about right. Note – I am not that interested in arguing the best 22 as the above looks there or there abouts from the opinions I have read on the board.

As a result of not managing the drafts in the compromised years and having substandard development, that number looks considerably worse when you look at our best 21 who will be 25 or under at the end of 2018. This by nature excludes our super draft year of 2010 which was after the date that Vozzo took over List Management in his portfolio (and is currently still in it albeit delegated).

The mistakes include poor picks (Colledge, Newman) blowing away a first rounder for Wellers and Redden, not being able to nail a 2nd round pick, etc…..

Subsequently, the best 22 for those 25 or under at the end of 2018 looks a different picture with the average draft range being 50. Nearly double the number of the current best 22. Yes I realise it includes all our rookies but it is not a pretty picture. I suggest the new Board Chairman looks closer at these issues when undertaking their twice a year reviews!

He was almost a tagger (more a defensive mid) at Collingwood. Saying that they had like 12 players going through the midfield at that time in a top 4 team.

They probably got the rumour from here. Seriously.

If it was true maybe Gaff has told the club he is looking to go back to Melbourne in the future so if we can get a trade now we will.

He'll be a free agent in a year, so if we want anything for him it needs to be now.

Interesting way of looking at it. The under 25 team would have a lot higher picks because of our recent high finishes on the ladder and trades of players in (Redden, Wellingham etc) All it really proves is that better players tend to be taken earlier in a draft. Agree that we have been duds at the draft lately. Of high picks only Barass & Nelson looking like regular AFL players at the moment.

Lamb back to Victoria would not surprise me at all.

 

[Avalor]

WA Talent should see around 7 players drafted - rough guide as follows:

Aaron Naughton - KPD and likely to go first round, may even be top 10
Oscar Allen - Lark Medallist and KPF. If he grows another 3 cm, a late 1st round to early second round. More like a 3rd tall at present
Sam Taylor - old fashioned lock down full back and he is a late second rounder to third rounder for me

distance

Ben Miller - KPF/ruck and a late pick
Jake Patmore - midfielder at the 3rd to 4th round
Brandon Starcevich - HF/midfield at the 5th round to rookie
Callum England - midfielder at the 5th round to rookie

distance

Jonathon Frampton - ruck as a rookie
Christian Ameduri - midfield and a rookie

Names to look out for next year - Jarrad Fazioli, Ian Hill, Louis Miller

I would like us to pick up Patmore from Claremont - like the look of this kid, classy mover and is quick.

Yer a like for like replacement there for the Pies.

What has Cox got to do with Lamb?

 

[boondy]

He'll be a free agent in a year, so if we want anything for him it needs to be now.

Let him go as a free agent. Get salary space and take the 1st round pick we will get in compensation. Or draft a free agent

They'll probably pick next year to stop giving out compo picks

Pies lack tall fwds

 

[kerr87]

Does anyone know how Damien Cavka has gone this year? Has he been playing for Balwyn?

Saw him last Sat night out in a Melb club, had a quick chat. He's still in a moon boot. Career over.

 

[eagles rule]

Tom Rockliff, Steven Motlop, Jackson Trengove and Daniel Menzel. Who do we choose

Motlop would be good he can be a very damaging player with his pace and goal kicking ..

Thanks for the update.

Was a favourite on mine at WC , terrific kid sad that he never got to show us how good he could have been .

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Will be stunned if we delist Wellingham.

Why ?
wellingham is s**t rather keep hill TBH at least he can kick

My Supercoach team like this

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Also lol Motlop.
No thanks you turtle eating campaigner.

Rockliff would be bad enough

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Then we match and trade

It took us three years to realise that he's not a KPF, so Collingwood would be just the team to rinse and repeat.

 

[Godfather32]

Then we match and trade

If he's already told us he wants to leave at the end of next year we'll potentially get more by trading him this off season while he's still contracted

Normally if a Lamb had contracted something they're worth less...

Oh Lamb's worth f*** all, pick 88 if we're lucky. Thought we were talking about Gaff
