He wouldn't have been my pick for this year, not that Jack Graham or Josh Schache would have been my choices in the past two seasons either for the Larke Medal.

Larke Medalists aren't always stars:
2000: Kayne Pettifer
2001: Sam Power, Steven Armstrong
2002: Byron Schammer
2003: Kepler Bradley
2004: Jesse Smith
2005: Marc Murphy
2006: Tom Hawkins
2007: Cale Morton
2008: Jack Watts
2009: David Swallow and Andrew Hopper shared
2010: Harley Bennell
2011: Stephen Coniglio
2012: Lachie Whitfield
2013: Dom Sheed
2014: Christian Petracca
2015: Josh Schache
2016: Jack Graham

It's a mixed bag.

Oscar Allen is among the worse half of those for mine and won't be an early draft choice.

Would he someone you look at in the 3rd Round?

Wow there are some spuds there. Cale Morton. :$
 
Have we invested a lot of time and effort into Scharenberg that he's a keep at all costs and he is our future, or would he be a trade bait for let's say J.Lever with a pick and or player?

Shaz goes home and we get a ready made player vs the wait to see if he'll be the Champ we all hoped he would be.

Trouble is he has almost zero currency, can't even get a game for us ATM and we're paying him overs salary wise because of the threat of him leaving at the end of his last contract, TBH i couldn't see either of the SA clubs going near him.

I would think that if Lever chooses to return home & wants to play for us, Sidey,Shaz,Broomy & Aish maybe player swap options? Hold onto our 1st pick tho.

Oh I've been on the trade Broomy train since last year. As Marsellus Wallace would say, "If you were gonna make it, you would have made it by now."

I would keep Aish one more year (pending new coach) unless gives us a look into Lever as well.

Honestly I would prefer to keep the boys I have mentioned, but Lever is exactly what we lack down back, and use our 1st on best young KPF. Shaz,Aish & Broomy all being SA boys may have to come into the equation.

We seem to like picking injured player in our drafts. Tangles, Dawes, Scharenberg, McLarty etc.

If we are going to be bold in trading this year, I would consider Scharenburg, Broomhead and Aish for Lever and maybe a 2nd round pick.

They are all South Aussie boys.

Whether they go for it is another matter. Maybe I'm shooting too high.

Neither Aish Scharenberg or Broomhead are in Adelaide's best 22 while Lever is a star for them while they're aiming for a premiership. It's a move that takes them backwards (short term at least) when they should be going all in for a flag

Keep top four pick
Trade pick 5+

That's what I think the club should do depending on our finishing position

In a weaker draft where it is said that quality dips after the top several players... we need to keep our top 5-6 pick and land a quality ten year KPP.

IMO best this year we try and trade an expendable player and our 3rd round pick up to a 2nd round

e. g. Greenwood + pick 36 for a pick in the 20s. There might be a team like GC with multiple picks in the 20s.... that want some maturity added to their midfield.

I was going to suggest something similar. GC have 4 second rounders I think between 22-30. Should we look at trading in one of those, or better still trade forward into next year's draft?

Yeah I've changed my mind on that - load up on picks now, I'm sick of trades

Would love to get Will Sutherland and Noah Balta with our first and second picks. That would be huge for us, we could have Balta McLarty Grundy Moore and Sutherland as our spine

Scharenberg is on about $300 - $350 k unsure how that is overs.

(Edit: been told that by a reasonable person, happy to stand corrected)

We'd have to trade in to the late first/early second round to have a chance at Balta

Or we could win a Few Games in the last 7 Games and have a Pick between 5-8 and Both Brander and Sutherland is gone and Balta is next best KPP
