List Mgmt. 2018 Draft Day Thread

[bullish23]

Yep. 57 is gone. 43 is our last pick. so using it on Khamis doesn't make sense.

My dream was 3 in top 30; smith, west and another. We ended up with Smith West 41 and 42.

So on balance probably a draw?

How do we get Khamis from here? Do we have to use 42?

Isn’t this what the system is suppose to be. What have Melbourne done wrong ?

Yeah I'm really confused by the hate towards Melbourne. It's not like they did something spiteful. We'd have done the same in their shoes. Did some of our posters expect everyone to pass on West and let us get him at the end of the draft just to be nice?

 

[TBOW]

What picks? The two second rounders would've been gone. Our next pick is currently sitting at pick 57. Our later picks are worthless and are for upgrading Lynch and Gowers.

So basically we would've had just pick 57 to match bids on both West and Khamis which is a massive shortfall. Power did fantastic and hasn't compromised our draft position in future drafts like some wanted too just for a kid at pick 20-25.

No I'm suggesting that Power should have traded up ahead of the West pick with some late change back to buffer the West bid instead of just trading back so less picks were absorbed.

I'm sure he tried it would just be a shit storm of conversations around this draft. Maybe Sam was a little too meek in his first draft.

Draft gurus: who do we want at 37?

Taylor if he drops through.

Maybe Kennerley, we need wingers.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Hopefully Eagles leave English alone now.

We got a bargain, West was in the top handful for VM at the champs and has real aggression in his game. This is just like pick 41 for Libba all over again.

yes, which is why we should trade 43 for a late late pick and a future asset.

With 30 seconds of research I'm keen for McKenzie. He seems to have slid a bit pre-draft.

 

[Scottish Bob]

How many list spots do we have? I understand we will be upgrading Gowers and Lynch, how many kids can we bring in?

 

[Wizard17]

PICK TAYLOR NOW!

 

[Doggies_13]

Would be rapt if we get two of Taylor stack or Turner as well as Khamis

 

[Doggy]

Hopefully take Taylor now

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Come on, get Taylor! Him and West running around together again! Do it Austin!

 

[Wizard17]

5 I think.

 

[Dogsman16]

Bytel has dropped big this year.

 

[BEaston]

Taylor if he drops through.

Maybe Kennerley, we need wingers.

Do you like McKenzie?

Kennerley sounds good too.

 

[VitalDread]

Reckon Jordan Sweet is our pick

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Actually bid on McFadyen first

Did you see what clubs had to give up to get those early second round picks. Think we probably investigated the possibility but glad we didn't sell the farm

 

[Doggies7]

Never get posts like this.

If west’s real market value is 10-17 why wasn’t a bid put on in that range?

It happens a lot with the Father Sons, other clubs get turned off them a little earlier on into the year and don't put as much work into the player knowing it's likely going to be for nothing as we will match it. Why put time and resources into a kid who won't be at your club unless you massively overpay? They will bid a pick after his normal value prior to our pick (like Melb did) to keep us honest and not let us get too much value, but i'm very confident he would have gone earlier than he did if we weren't able to match it.

2 live picks plus Khamis.

 

[Scottish Bob]

Also Bevo's beard is brilliant

 

[dergert]

WHAT SPUD ARE WE GET TING NOW. THE AFL SITE HAS CRAPPED ITS PANTS.

 

[Doggies_13]

Anyone have any info on him?

 

[Mofra]

yes, which is why we should trade 43 for a late late pick and a future asset.

Future 4th rounder next year gives us 2019 trade flexibility (stupid AFL rules).
