Game Day 2017 National Draft

[Johno9911]

What would the opinion be of trading pick 5 for two later first round picks. Looking at how many people think the draft will pan out, Oscar Allen (KPF, Larke medalist) or Noah Balta (raw but really highly regarded KPP) will still be on the boards at a mid teens pick, as will bolter Matt Ling, classy user of the ball with brilliant speed. These two players combined would address two big needs for us, another tall to develop and grow, plus pace and clean usage. Haydn McLean and especially Coleman-Jones look to have slid down draft boards when you look at draft forums and phantom drafts, so one of those two could also be floating around at a later pick.

Ideally if the club walked away with;
Allen/Balta (KPP)
Ling
Coleman Jones/ McLean (KPF)
*Prospect type - Sambono/ Kreuger/ L. Ryan*
Would that be considered a 'bust'?

 

[MyManLynch]

Would anyone be surprised if we took Jack Higgins?

I mean, he's a midfielder. Small. Doesn't fit our needs. Plays for Oakleigh.

His name is Jack...St Kilda bound

Im fairly sure richmond have 2 first round picks. I reckon they would bite as well if we offered say pick 5 for there picks 13? and 16?

If that happened i would ideally like to trade 16 and a player to Adelaide for Lever (if it has to be 13 then so be it) and use the other pick on a player in the draft you suggested.

Anything short of Wayne Carey/Gary Ablett is going to be considered a bust.

Don't want Allen. Nothing particularly special about him from the vision I've seen despite his Larke medal. KM talked about him the other day and basically said if got drafted he doubts he'd make it either.

Balta is one I'm keen on though.

Balta is pretty similar to McCarthy (whom we already have, just needs more development). I don't mind the idea of trading down as Wooller is the "Gunston" type that would do well and we could snaffle one of Constable or Coffield later in the first round.
Also Ed Richards is exactly what we require. A really quick, line breaking, piercing left foot half back. Would have been in the Metro side barring an early season knee injury. Has been better than higher accoladed opponents in APS games and equally importantly is the continuation of the Richards / Pannam blood line.

Balta could well be a bolter. Had a big game on the weekend in the TAC. Started at CHB went through the ruck and CHF. Ended up with 30 touches. He is definitely tickling my interest now that Sutherland is out.

 

[Horaceg]

Yes (close enough to) his name is Nick Coffield which is why I keep mentioning him! Get in a KPF and draft Coffield

Nice, will have a look

 

[Rorzza]

Lachlan O'Brien is my mid size player option. Had a knee injury pre championships so we didn't see his best.

184cm left footer with electric pace and elite foot skills. Also as hard as nails and can play off the half back flank, midfield or forward.

Was discussed as a possible number 1 pick pre champs but as discussed had an injury cloud over him. Apparently is a very good 400 m runner at state level.

He fits a glaring hole in our list. A mid size player with elite pace and skill who can defend small forwards.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Not Sure Pert would accept Ablett Snr

And not just because that mark was paid

 

[Matt_352]

I would give Tigers Pick 5 for 13 & 16.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

I would give Tigers Pick 5 for 13 & 16.

They need one for Naish. I'd rather give them 5 for 13 and their R1 next year.

 

[THATSGOLD]

So this Nick Cotller? any highlights?

 

[unplugged]

Never seen him play, hell, never even seen highlights. But I want Noah Balta. Needs to stop getting 30 touches though.

Not with our first pick though

5 is probably too high but you never know with Hine. He likes upside and versatility and Balta has plenty of it. Brander could be available and we could still pass on him. It's really is a lottery with Hine.

I have heard we definitely wouldn't take Stephenson because he has a bad case of OCD. Thought that was interesting.

Hopefully they are silly enough to do that.

That's interesting about Stephenson. I really wouldn't want him anyway, to me he's the epitome of a high risk high reward prospect

Had that great game in the champs but I'm not sold on him totally. His field kicking is poor and he's not a great mark for a mid sized player. I think he could be a damaging forward but I'm not sure what he would bring up the ground at AFL level.

 

[Apex36]

Do they? Most ratings I've seen have him around the late 1st early 2nd round. Surely they'd be looking to get the best value possible for their first picks + Naish rather than saving a pick for him?

I laughed because I just read an article on him about 5 minutes ago:

https://www.zerohanger.com/tigers-s...tm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=AFL+Zero+Hanger

From what I watched he wasn't that impressive.

I'd say he's a second rounder. Potentially but I'd say they will have a better idea when trade week roles around. If he has a bumper finals they might need it in case they are forced to pay more than expected and they lose their next pick/drops right down.

My main goal would be to trade into the 2018 R1.

 

[Matt_352]

5 for 13 + 1st in 2018

13 + Broomhead or Aish for Lever

 

[Frank Gallagher]

5 for 13 + 1st in 2018

13 + Broomhead or Aish for Lever

That would be nice.

 

[Quicky]

Lever plays the same position as Howe. Given we already have a defensive balance that favours talls, if we recruit Lever it has to be with an eye on sending Howe forward. Lever still hasn't demonstrated that he's a centre half back to a high quality so if that's the position people have earmarked for him I think they'll be disappointed.
