Rumour 2019 Draft rumours thread

[RUNVS]

I had a look around but I could not see a draft rumours thread up on the board which surprised me. I may have missed it but I had a reasonable look.

So I thought I would create a thread for everyone to discuss rumours on which clubs like which players in the lead up to the national draft in a months time. I must admit I have no rumours of my own, and the Swans board doesn't really have a clue what our recruiters are going to do but I am very curious to know what rumours are floating around as to which clubs like which players.

I can't remember where I heard it but GC are into Rowell and Anderson (apparently they know each other) and GWS want to pick someone before a Tom Green bid so are looking to move up in the draft.

Other than that, I've got nothing!

 

[M Malice]

I've heard a rumor that after the draft every club with be very happy with their selections.

Yeah and they’ll all have picked up players they rated top 10 from a pick in the 30s

Swans - Really like Green
Doggies - Have a crush on weightman
Dee's - touching up Henry
carlton - Looking at X-Rays of Kemp
GC - Rowell , Anderson,Gould already have their GC budgie smugglers
Tigers - Have a Cat in the bag "Cat Stephens"
Maggies - Are drooling into Riccardi

 

[TerryWallet]

Swans are keen on Serong.

Carlton are keen on Liam Henry.

 

[Smythe]

im hearing that, unlike the aflw draft, no recruiters are going to pick themselves in the afl draft.

 

[Lach72]

Swans are keen on Serong.

Carlton are keen on Liam Henry.

Would be the best of the worst results for us.
As long as he's not bid on before 7 we're ok

Whats the point of us being into Green when we cant get him?

Pick 5: Tom Green (Unmatched) Syd
Pick 6: Luke Jackson GWS

GWS should consider Aidan Bonar and Will Setterfield were "Best Available" and now play elsewhere also last
year they took Jye Caldwell, Jackson Hately, Xavier O'Halloran and Ian Hill with their first four picks and Ian
Hill actually played the most games of the four despite being a stick figure. GWS is a Bermuda Triangle for
midfielders Green replaces Josh Kennedy.

There is no way they are passing on Green. He's too good.

I like your thinking and I genuinly
Hope you’re right, he looks exactly what we need.

 

[McRobie]

He does make a point that they are brimming with Mids, they could get better value by filling a need.

Ok presuming GWS match on Green at pick 5
Sydney take Brodie Kemp at Pick 6 and give him time to overcome the ACL set back.

Either option good replacement for Josh Kennedy and Green can battle to replace Taranto, Hopper and the rest of
their plethora of "Best Available" midfielders.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Sure, but they won't. The exact reason you want him so badly is why. You don't pass on the best talent in the draft.

Yeah I think I’m just reading what I want to be true rather than the facts that there’s bugger all chance of him being passed on.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Only situation I could see where GWS pass on Green is if none of Melbourne, Adelaide, or Sydney agree to a pick trade, then Sydney bid on him at 5, and there is somebody GWS rate higher than Green still available. In that situation surely they pass and take whoever it is they like better. Could even see them doing that if they were sufficiently convinced a player they like better will last to them. For example say they like Jackson over Green. Adelaide bid on Green, and for whatever reason they are convinced Sydney won't take Jackson. Then they let Adelaide have him and take Jackson at 6. It's unlikely but not impossible.

It’s going to kick ass

Yes please, can you have a chat with GWS and the Dees on behalf of Adelaide.....much appreciated.
