Can we nominate Burgoyne prior to the rookie draft?
Or does this mean we're not giving him a lifeline
If we nominate him I think we automatically take him with our last rookie selection if he slips through the ND.

Maybe we want the flexibility to take two rookies if we want? And then take him with our last if our other targets are gone already.
 
Why does the draft have to be so far away? Here is my guess for the draft.

1 GC Rowell
2 GC Anderson
3 Mel Young
4 GWS Green
5 Adel Flanders
6 Syd Serong
7 Fre Jackson
8 Fre Henry
9 Mel Ash
10 Carl Kemp
11 Haw Stephens
12 Port Weightman
13 WB McAsey
14 Geel Robertson
15 GC Gould
16 Bris Sharp
17 Geel Worrell
18 Port Rivers
Rivers ahead of Elijah Taylor would be ****ing bizarre
 
I watched a bit of WA recently and i think Jackson, Henry and Robertson need to go in the top ten...which makes it more of a top 13 (Rowell, Anderson, Green, Young, Serong, Flanders, Ash, Kemp, Stephens, Gould) and that's not including McAsey/ Worrell / Weightman. I'm pretty much going off McAsey at pick 12. Prefer Hilder/Finlay at pick sixty something or McCasey/Worrell at 18.

henry or Robertson are the wa players I’m far more interested in than rivers

Adelaide's not really home for him though. He's from country Victoria came to Adelaide on a private school scholarship about 2 years ago
Great that our private schools give scholarships to Victoria’s .

Hell of a daily commute. Surely a Victorian tech high education would be considered more prestigious than a SA private school education. Half an hour and thirty years behind...

Looking at the phantom drafts it seems the drop from 10 to 12 could cost us significantly. Stephens, McCasey, Kemp etc. Still annoyed that we decided to play good AFL citizen and swap 10 for 12. Sure we might get a slider as well, but we didn't need to give up those two spots. The deal was sweet for St Kilda without it and it's not like they played good citizen with Richardson.

Gould doesn't excite me as a '3rd tall, large half back' as statistically, that describes half our defenders already.

I agree with Twomey. Clubs have a draft board and just go by the numbers, and Mead is the last type of player Adelaide need.

Someone else might pick him...but it’s not going to be the Crows.

I read that post as more than an opinion - to me it sounds like he has inside information that the Crows are unlikely to pick Mead.
 
If mead gets bid on after 29 (which he very much should) I’ll be very happy

12,18,29 + mead will be much better for our list.

not that it would happen but Stephens mcasey rantall/Shute/Hilder, mead, then Finlay with a late pick would be awesome for our list.
 
This comment by KT is curious. Is there a point where we won't match Mead, ie the cards don't fall our way?

It is just common sense.

What is the alternative?

"We are going to match on Mead no matter what the bid"

It would just encourage other clubs to bid earlier and game the system.

Not everything needs to be interpreted in the redline. He may be indicating Port don't rate Mead in their top 30 so won't match a bid before 29, which it is largely assumed we would do. Or it may be that we won't match anything before 12 or 18, although no one seems to think that will happen.

Twomey already mentioning Port's ideal outcome being a bid for Mead after pick 29 (and stating Adelaide won't be bidding) adds to the potential for Port only looking at Mead post-pick 29.
