List Mgmt. 2016 Potential Draft Picks

[Long live PAFC]

Seems like most of the rucks will be around the third round to rookie range except English.

 

[missionpossible]

7 news reporting Essendon might go for Bowes or Setterfield with pick 1. That might throw a cat amongst some pigeons.

That would be nice. I would give that no cred at all though

If you wanted to give GC or gws a push to ask for their first pick because you want to capilitise on it leaking to the right people you might take Bowes or settle field there would be your first move.

I expect this is exactly what Essendon are doing. I think they know they need a lot of talent into that side and possibly figure that Brodie could slide a cpl of picks to later or Taranto would be a good consolation prize

 

[longdonkey]

If Jack Graham is still available at our later picks surely we'd pick him - virtually all the Larke Medal winners have been guns and he'd be great help to Ollie on the inside.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

You would know better than most that it's smoke and mirrors time now. Still all adds to the fun.

 

[Macca19]

Shai bolton with a third anyone?

No chance at all he's there in the 3rd round.

 

[Portia]

Pick 9
Best inside mid
Hopefully get a second rounder for a KPF prospect
Then ruckman with 45
Best available from there

Which underheight flankers are we going to trade out to justify adding more on the list?

I am pretty sure it is just more Essendon posturing. What a great way to distract from drug cheatiness.

If Essendon bid on an academy player at pick 1, then why the **** would GC/GWS/Brisbane trade for pick 1? They're still academy players, and those academy clubs can still get them for 20% less by bidding. Trading for #1 would be wasteful.

Essendon bid on Bowes with pick 1 then Gold Coast use their first pick on Bowes.

Gold Coast trade for pick 1, then they get Mcluggage/Mcgrath/Brodie as well as Bowes.

Yeah, so basically Essendon threatening to bid on an academy player makes no difference to the outcome

It makes a big difference to the outcome.

Would you prefer Bowes. Or Mcluggage + Bowes?

Essendon are doing it for their own interests because for them, getting 4 & 8 from Gold Coast is probably better in the long term than just pick 1.

 

[Portia]

Macca...you're actually asking this.

Would you prefer:
McCluggage + Bowes
OR
(Whatever traded value of McCluggage is) + Bowes

From a Gold Coast perspective it doesn't change, which is why Essendon threatening to take an academy player is a bit meaningless. Even if they do, it doesn't compel Gold Coast to deal with Essendon, they can get what they need from others.

You talking about kpf prospect? In a dream world you'd be going Kerr who stands at 194
Also a bid on sproule would be good who has some height on him

No, I mean if we're going to go `best available' at any point and inevitably end up drafting flankers sub-181cm, then for list balance we will need to have gotten rid of some.

We already have a side easily exposed for flanker height/size because of our numbers of small guys in the 22, and top 4 sides are built big.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

And already GWS and Gold Coast are working on separate deals to land them top 3 picks. Start up concessions for eastern state expansion clubs, the gifts that just keep giving.

Well that'll only be if we use anymore than three picks in the national draft to begin (it'll almost be like one of the flankers we've delisted already would be who we're replacing)

with
In the rookie I'm a fan of either break in case of emergencies and raw prospects (probably shouldve put that in the first post )

 

[Portia]

Jonts, odds are we have already replaced Colquhoun with Snelling on the main list.

I'd argue different players but i see where you're coming from

 

[Dave Omsby]

Well it actually starts tomorrow the trade period .
Who are our realistic trade baits . Lobbe , AhChee , sounds like Broadbent doesn't want to go . Maybe Amon would be interested in moving .
I guess we need to offer a big fish if we expect a decent return .
Lobbe or AhChee would probably get us a pick in the 30-45 range which we do need but personally I'd keep AhChee unless we could get a pick under 35 for him or a part of a swap for a decent young mid like Barret .
I don't think we should do anything too much unless it's for a starting 22 mid , possibly Vardy or a first or second round pick .
We aren't that far away when the list is fit so we don't to to rob Peter to pay Paul really we just need to top up in the midfield and another ruck/ forward .

Anyway it'll be very interesting to see what happens I just hope we don't panic buy I guess is what I'm trying to say .

Tend to agree and I think we should be looking at this as step 1 in 3 year process....a bit at a time. We should follow the lead of others in that draft and develop and trade for top up...and we should use the rookie selections more as development particularly Talls. I haven't stated anything that is new but I think we lost our way a bit and as a rule do not enter into long term contracts UNLESS there is significant get out clauses for the club.

 

[Papa G]

Has anyone talked up Will Setterfield? Mock drafts have him going around our pick region. 190cm midfielder, could be in the Bont/Cripps mould? I have no idea but has anyone seen him play?

apparently plays like Jack Macrae

[Honeyboy Wilson]

There's no real reason to talk him up considering he's GWS academy and they'll match any bid on him!

 

[philthy05]

Yep. Gws will match any bid for him , and it will likely come before our pick or at it. Genuine midfielder. Ridiculous that gws probably have more elite mids under the age of 21 than we have on our entire list
