List Mgmt. The 2018 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals Thread

[Grand Uncle Horace]

This year the focus has to be on the draft, jettisoning some ballast and maybe picking up a good soldier or two for average chips.

 

[bedford]

Lynch is definitely a gun.

But still very over-rated. Waiting on this 'young' and 'promising' forward who is about to turn 26 to take the competition by storm is the entire AFL's version of this board's running joke about Reid's promise. Except the AFL world isn't in on the joke.

I know he's been in a crap team, but this is a bloke who's kicked over 50 goals in a year only once in his career. Meanwhile Sideshow Bob, who is almost the same age, has done it twice, including last year when his team finished bottom four. My point isn't that Lynch is bad, it's that I just don't think he's ever going to be the superstar many expect him to be, and therefore he's not worth the investment of say a million dollar contract.

Stop worrying about Lynch , we are not going for him ! he's a Tiger.

26 year old KPF sounds like the right time to go to the next level. If clubs are willing to pay 850k for players like Lever then a million for a player with his skills is cheap.

who ever said reid is that good?

he is a second tall forward/swingman.

i have never expected him to be anything more. if anyone else has they are deluded.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

So

Hanners, worth a first rounder on record, but that is as relevant as Mr Skilton. On attitude and form he is worth a late first, early second rounder. Bonus is clearing salary.

Newman worth a late second rounder. Saves bugger all dosh, as he'd be on min chips.

Rohan. Best we can hope for is a late 4fh round in exchange for our fifth. Bonus is the $450k we'd save.

I think Lever was over-paid and over-rated too.

Phurt. English is my 14th language. GGAGAYN.

We needn't be excited about our draft prospects because we are bringing in a star

 

[Edmund hunt]

So what pick/s are we likely to use before the draft period Bedford?

 

[Number37]

We needn't be excited about our draft prospects because we are bringing in a star

Our draft prospects include Blakey. Will debut R1 2019 and be a gun by r4.

Your definition of a gun or my definition of a gun?

 

[Number37]

Everyones.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Madness. Most of the ''stars' in the market are way over rated and over priced.

Buddy aside, we should avoid over paid boom recruits.

Will need time, that is if we get him.

 

[Number37]

It's like the housing market B52. Everyone wants a piece so prices go up.

Like Heeney & Mills won't help his development playing NEAFL, he is already at that level.

I just think there's perhaps too many holes to plug and trying to bring in a star recruit would be papering over the cracks really. Our best chance of a complete team will be in a few years time and to do that we have to invest in more young talent (which sounds crazy to say after 17 debutants in the last 3 years yet still true) We'll get Blakey this year who by all accounts will be a gun forward (or possibly mid), but I'd like us to also get an elite mid in this year's draft. Then use a later pick we may have to find another steal further down the draft who can be a Parker workhorse type.

Aye 37. The country is only good for digging stuff out of the ground and filling the gouging holes with trash. SMFC Sydney is the exception.

 

[Wolfgang West]

That sounds normal.

Gee ! You're definitely getting your 15 minutes of fame on this one. That Guy Bedders ??? WTF ????

 

[Wolfgang West]

Just wrapped up Hayward's second season where he became the 11th-fastest player in AFL history to kick 50 goals and some are already willing to ship him off. WTFDWFT

Yep ridiculous.

 

[Number37]

It is a bit like that.

 

[Syd]

Here's another thought.
Port are into Lycett.
Paddy Ryder anyone?

That worked well the last time we spoke to him....

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

It's like the housing market B52. Everyone wants a piece so prices go up.

And in the case of Tippett, we're still in hock.

That worked well the last time we spoke to him....

Ryder can only really play forward and pinch hit hit in the ruck. A top line player buggered by injury and rogered by Hird, Thompson et al.

 

[Edmund hunt]

Do you mean Blakey because if the gun needs time well he isn't exactly a gun then.
