2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

[harry000]

I've recently formed an attachment to the Cleveland Browns ... so I'm already sorted.

How did that happen?

 

[TheCount]

How did that happen?

It's hard to say ... I've had a renewed interest this season, and felt a need to adopt a new team, and the plight of the Browns resonated with me. This was also at the start of the season, before the 49ers D bashed the confidence right out of the offence and anything resembling scoring dried up.

Next 3 are huge, steelers twice and Miami, get to 6 and 6 and the Seasons back on and will be 3 from 3 in the division

If you win all 3 of those you will go close to playoffs. Should beat Bengals x 2 and Arizona is winnable.

Expect Bills to claim a wild card spot but Chargers and Raiders could both stall in a tough division and the Colts are flakey.

Win 6 of the next 7 and would be unlikely to miss especially if they end up 5 and 1 in the division but as you say AFC is wide open after results last weekend

If they cant beat the bengals theb they dont deserve to make the playoffs.

Yeah still a bit to play out! But at least given yourself a chance.

Win 6 of the next 7 and finish up 9-7. Divisional wins only matter for tie breakers within your own division.

Assuming Ravens win your division. All but one of the following things would have to happen for the Browns to make the playoffs:

Steelers go 4 - 3 (or worse) and finish 9-7 (Browns win on divisional tie breaker)
Bills go 3 - 4 (or worse) and finish 9 -7 (Browns win on head to head tie breaker)
Oakland go 3 - 4 (or less) finishing 8 - 8 (Oakland currently ahead in conference tie breaker)
Chargers go 5 - 2 (or worse) and finish 9-7 (Browns currently ahead in conference tie breaker)
Colts go 4 - 3 (or worse) and finish 9 -7 (Browns win on head to head tie breaker)

If one of these teams play better they will be wild card 1 and Browns wild card 2.

If two play better than above then Browns need to win out from here and go 7 - 0

We do like our Prince Alfred College private school mummy's boys. Why not add another.

 

[TheCount]

West Coast have delisted Hamish Brayshaw with the intention of redrafting him.

Would very much like to cut their lunch with our last pick - assuming they’re planning to rookie list him

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

This kid could be one we look at with 97 or a rookie pick: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-11-12/family-ties-could-see-another-speed-demon-land-at-swans

Ollie Florent's brother, apparently a speedy small forward. I'd take him even if only to give us an edge if Ollie decides he wants to move back to Victoria. Put the Demon in 'speed demon'.

 

[booshboy]

is taking Pickett at 8 too much of a stretch? Im warming to the idea of him.

Yep. He might not even go first round.

 

[pjfairbairn]

This goes back to whether 15 & 20 (GC) for 8 is fair. If we have people in mind for the picks, and we think that they'll get that far, then I couldn't care less whether we 'win' the trade based on points value. Geelong have indicated that they want to use both 14 & 17, but Fremantle's 10 and 22 is intriguing as well, as they don't want to match a bid on Henry with their first.

Seems to big a stretch IMO. As mentioned if we split 3 or 8 we might have a chance to get him.

 

[ABray10]

Maybe we could work something like 3 for 6 and GWS first next year, then trade 6 and 8 for Freo's 7, 10 and 22. Hope from Kemp, Gould and Pickett.

Although I would really like Young.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Matthew Lloyd thinks if we take Young and Jackson we could finish top 4 next year. At least someone has delusions of our succcess.

 

[blitznu]

Kemp is a Geelong boy yeah? i reckon if he gets through to 8 Geelong will want to do the deal for 14 and 17. Not sure which id rather but the latter hopefully gets us a small forwards in Pickett or Weightman and whoever else slides

Doubt we’d trade 14 and 17 for 8. Maybe 14 plus 24.

Yeah there's one thing 18 year old draftees are known for and that's dragging sides from 17th to top 4

Shut up TK. I have a profound hangover

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Can someone explain to me how we’re supposed to lose a game next year? If Lever and May play 22 games each we won’t concede a single goal.

 

[pjfairbairn]

This was a really good listen: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-11...aft-who-cats-should-target-to-replace-selwood

It really makes me think that the quality around 15-20 is worth dropping down from 8 in order to double up and fill different needs.

At least you'd get your beer for free.

Young looks like one hell of a player to me. Perfect get for Melbourne.
Jackson also makes sense even if an immediate pay-off may not be there.
Surprised though that Serong doesn't seem to be in the picture, but I guess you can't get them all.
