2017 trade/draft thread

David Hynes, Shane Bond, Brayden Lyle #ninetiestalgia

Port Magpies, not Port Power.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hopefully he is a good player for us.

Ideally he cracks the 22 and plays a role. He was solid in the SANFL, however so was Kane Mitchell.

He has the athletic gifts and size, but has had trouble cementing time in the middle/winning more than Redden like ball.

Kane Mitchell was good statistically in the SANFL but he still had the disposal and skills of a state league player. Ah Chee not only racks up the touches at that level, but more importantly he just looks like an AFL player out there.

I don’t know if there’s any YouTube footage of the SANFL Grand Final out there, but if there is check out his Q4 goal. Won the contested ball, burst away from the stoppage, took two bounces, and then goaled on the run from 50 out on a 45 degree angle on his non-preferred left foot. Arch has more talent in his left nut than Mitchell does in his entire body.

You trying to bullshit us that Port Adelaide SANFL club is one and the same as the AFL club?

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

He is not South Australian

Delist

Not at all, I'm aware the club just fell out of the sky in 1997.

In the same place, with the same President, CEO and coach.

Look after Arch. <3

Yeah but ah Chee doesn't look like Daniel Day Lewis.

An updated post.

WCE 2nd round selections for the last decade:

2007
Pick 20 - Tony Notte. 2 games (delisted)
Pick 22 - Scott Selwood. 135 games at WC (traded)

2008
Pick 20 - Tom Swift. 34 games (retired)

2009
Pick 22 - Gerrick Weedon. 1 game (delisted)
Pick 23 - Koby Stevens. 11 games at WC (traded)

2010
Pick 29 - Scott Lycett. 50 games

2011*
Picks 23 and 28 were first round and netted Newman (2 games, delisted) and Mccines (11 games, rookied)

2012*
Our first pick was start of the 3rd round at 45 Brant Collage

2013
Pick 31 - Malcolm Carpany. 7 games

2014
Pick 32 - Tom Lamb. 1 game.

2015
Pick 28 - Luke Partington. 6 games.
Pick 36 - Tom Cole. 6 games.

2016
Pick 37 - Josh Rotham. 0 games.

Not a single blue chip player or even high level contributor on the list. That's not to say recent picks won't come good, but WC history with 2nd round selections is terrible.

Consider both the rate of attrition, so players still at the club and average numbers of games played, even if you do include Darling, the only high quality (B or above) player on that list.

EDIT: if you want, feel free to include 2010 pick 26 Jack Darling (151 games), who was a priority selection.

Makes for very poor reading, doesn't it? No wonder our list is lacking so much.

I remember this goal.

Can confirm sneezy is shit hot.
Like near Butler levels of shit hot

 

[The_Reaper]

What was said on Trade Radio?

 

[mad_eagle]

yay, we did something!!

Interesting that Ah Chee is only signing for 1 year. Wants a year to prove his worth and then chase the big pay day maybe?

 

[Hangover Noir]

David Hynes, Shane Bond, Brayden Lyle #ninetiestalgia

You can add Ian Downsborough and Jarrad Schofield to that list.

 

[dajesmac]

4 picks i50

Nope. 13, 32 and 50.

Masten 2.0
Step 1: Show glimpses of form/talent for 12months by training the house down and buttering up the coaching staff.
Step 2: Sign up a long term 3-4year contract on good coin.
Step 3: Emotionally retire and play the WAFL as a hobby and to keep fit while you plan for life after footy.

 

[avishka5]

You're next mate!

I think that dream has passed for me mate. Too fat and probably too old to get picked up.

 

[Bender_]

You can see what the board has lost when Miguel Sanchez hasn't even made a welcome thread for Ah Chee yet.

You're a little ray of sunshine aren't you?

Would be happy if it lands us his brother... He has talent as that small forward mid.

As I tell my staff, you're able to do it.

So you're telling me it's possible to run your own business and moderate on Bigfooty #mindblown.
