List Mgmt. 2018 AFL draft

Draft is over rated in AFL especially these days with Free Agency. Let's look back at our great success at drafting... I wouldn't be too excited from the trade period to the shit show this club is trying to sell us.

That's the spirit.
 
One such whisper suggested the Saints could send their prized top-five pick to GWS in exchange for Picks 9, 11 and a future pick. Max King appears to be the obvious choice for St Kilda at Pick 4, but do they need another key position forward?

The Western Bulldogs are another team linked with a potential pick movement, while Port Adelaide national recruiting manager Geoff Parker told reporters on Wednesday it was unlikely they’d be able to do a deal to snare a top-three pick off Gold Coast or Carlton so they could secure Rankine or Lukosius.

Yes, because all theirs are terrible and/or have Papier-mâché heads.

Why would GWS need to do that. They'd be going all out for M King I assume in that scenario. Yet the have Patton, Himmelberg and Cameron. Unless they have zero depth underneath that, with all the picks they've had over the years, and the trade outs, I would've thought they'd just continue bringing in a large quantity of low picks rather than target quality.

I'm fully expecting another patented Gil shamozzle tonight. So all the teams are in separate boxes and there is a 5 minute time limit on negotiations? Can only assume some offers are already on the table but with the dynamic nature of the draft it would seem that these are really tight time limits. I don't think many pick trades will get done.
I hope it is, if only to bring out the old #sackGil
 
Today is the day we find out if we are full rebuilding or not.

Go tall - Rebuild
Go small and tall - Rebuild-ish
Go small - Final swing at success.

If we pick any tall that's not Luko or M.King, we're tossing the current list build imo.
 
Sorry if been discussed but as it’s running over two nights, how will it be separated? Just the first round tonight and finished tomorrow or what?

Yep. 1st round tonight, rest of the draft tomorrow.

We couldn't have a more exciting hand in terms of keeping the night interesting throughout and still I'm dreading how boring it will be waiting for each pick to happen. Imagine any other year when we sit around all night waiting for pick 9. Hopefully they streamline the system in future years.

Ridiculous that clubs with mid-20s picks get a whole night/morning to reassess their scenarios based on who is still available. Surely it has to happen as one continuous draft if they are going to impose time limits on every other pick.

Do they need another bad kick?

West Coast at pick 20 have about 16 hours to make their pick

Twomey's late mail top 10

Pick 1 – Carlton – Sam Walsh
Pick 2 – Gold Coast – Jack Lukosius
Pick 3 – Gold Coast – Izak Rankine
Pick 4 – St Kilda – Max King
Pick 5 – Port Adelaide – Connor Rozee
Pick 6 – Gold Coast – Ben King
Pick 7 – Western Bulldogs – Bailey Smith
Pick 8 – Sydney (matching Adelaide's bid) – Nick Blakey
Pick 9 – North Melbourne (matching Adelaide's bid) – Tarryn Thomas
Pick 10 – Adelaide – Jye Caldwell
 
Reckon Adelaide are right on the money bidding on all academy picks. Clubs like Sydney and North Melbourne will match almost any bid on their players because they've based their whole draft hand around getting a bevy of shit picks to bid with. They're always going to slightly overpay on points rather than not match and take a stack of 3rd rounders. Serves the clubs right for trying to game the system.

So is the first round 18 picks? This would include any matching of FS / Academy bids. Any chance our pick #15 doesn't happen tonight in that case?
