Game Day 2018 DRAFT - Christmas is early this year

[Danger in Texas]

Gold Coast and st Kilda wouldn't trade pick 3 or 4 for 8 and 13 this year.....

Which makes this trade all the more unexpected

Can’t see the Blues finishing above NM/WB/Bris

 

[hey shorty]

I really hope we get Valente with our next pick.

As do I.

 

[El Doederino]

WCE are taking their sweet time.

You win this thread

Looks like it is another year of tracking Adelaide's season.
Going to be interesting long term tracking how this trade turned out.

 

[Cleric]

Taheny is the one I want at this stage. Long way to go of course.

I really like Cam. Dropped off this year due to carrying injuries. He is a bit enigmatic. Can rip a game to shreds one day, and then go missing the next. Talent he has, consistency is what he needs to show next year. Another issue for him is that he gets thrown around alot. Every game I have watch live of him ( and thats 8) he was played forward, wing/mid and back.
Needs to be settled in a position.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Well the trade and draft period summed up why we need changes at afc. ******* bewildered by our decision making. Why didn't we trade into the top 5 picks during the trade period? I hope we do well next year but until Burton and co are exited from the club nothing will change.

Because no one would trade this years picks. Why do you assume we didn't try?
You want change. We literally did something we've never done before

 

[jirkago]

Honestly. Who would carlton finish above next year. Gold coast? Port maybe?

Add the saints as well

Let's see how good he is when he lines up for GC with the best defenders in the AFL as a key forward.

Wouldn’t need to do that with us.

This is what I'm thinking.

Carlton will improve of course, but I just cant see those directly around them getting any worse. Suns aside of course.

 

[GROTTO]

But Fox Footy told me that SoS is a king. I'm confused.

King of Tanks.

 

[DJ75]

T

The pick we swapped is based on the finishing position. They can't trade that pick because it is ours. So they can't finish 17th, have pick 2, trade 2 for say 10 and 12, then give us 10.

Yep too many beers for me!

Another one for the ages like your WCE Judd deal. Let’s hope this one turns out similarly.

 

[Mattrox]

FFS go look at Ned's Draft Machine footage, the kid's an absolute high pressure aggressive mid/forward that will run his arse off all day. He's the energiser bunny on steroids.

Ummmm let's not get WADA involved.

I'm still unsure how to view the trade. I think the difference in the value system is in the fact that Carlton knew exactly who we would get with the pick this year, when you trade picks before knowing who you would get, there is added risk.

I wouldnt write the Suns off so easily.

They played 11 consecutive away games this year plus China. They will improve.

For me the saints is a maybe.

 

[CrowInFiji]

Holy **** if anyone wants a laugh go read the early 40s pages of the carlton draft thread.

Listen to them talking about how their ballsy (should read: ****ing atrocious) trade is 'stamping their authority' on moving up the ladder and 'rebuild complete'.

I'm pissing myself.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

So we've known about Luko and Rankine for how long?

And we put ourselves in a top 3 position ........next year.

How absolutely Adelaide

Is there a good KPP next year that could be available?

 

[ABAB]

If he requests a trade to us, it doesn't matter what picks Port has.

True, but GC might play hard ball as he is a 1st year contracted player, Dew will want to set an big example for other draftee.

 

[adelaidecrows]

All we really need to do is lose to the Suns and the Blues wont make up the ground on them.

GC will finish bottom next year imo. they will virtually go into next year with no star players and a side full of b grade trades. Blues arent as bad next year as everyone thinks.

 

[hey shorty]

Wouldn’t need to do that with us.

Suns know how good he is, they were never giving that up.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Because we couldn't and the clubs that held the top 5 picks were asking for too much. No club with a top 5 pick this year was looking at Crows pick 16 and 8 and thinking that's a good deal.

Plus we paid less than that for a top 5 next year

 

[maxlilly]

We have the shortest blokes on the stage?

We should have got Rory Laird to present the jumpers to them

Yeah there’s always the risk of the draft crop turning out better or worse a year on, but that is obviously the risk we chose to take

Actually feel like this trade could be mutually beneficial, I do rate Stocker

 

[pjcrows]

People are forgetting that any of the top 4 players tonight would have been Pick 1 at any other draft in the last 10 years. There's no way those picks were being traded.
