Apparently next year has a terrible draft do we trade out next years first for a first this year.

Pretty sure the article mentions that some think its bad and some think its good.Apparently next year has a terrible draft do we trade out next years first for a first this year.
Yes..Thats what I was mentioning.....Just overkill at that stage. Better off getting your pick of the better talent with 5 and 8, turning a couple of 2nds into a teen pick and getting Henry on top of that IMO.
On draft night, trade back into 2nd after a bid on Henry comes
My mistake. That would be sensible, handing out pick #73 over and over for 9 points would be sillyThanks
I meant that like if you use up the pick and there’s like 10points left to take off a pick they dont bother. That’s was my understanding but I might be wrong
Not a big issue. Adelaide will finish 8th or 9th. They played very well against WCE. Therefore will be pick 10,11 or 12 (GCS might get a mid range first round Priority pick set at 11) or 11/12 if GCS get the first PP at no. 1.Won’t be surprised if Carlton bid on him with their Adelaide pick as they need a small forward
That's a pretty basic way of looking at it.
the difference in likely career output of pick 60 v 100 is minimal but pick 100 is on a cheaper 1year contract.
I was thinking the same thing.Apparently next year has a terrible draft do we trade out next years first for a first this year.
Heard this a couple of times today. Where has this come from?Apparently next year has a terrible draft do we trade out next years first for a first this year.
It was an AFL.com article I believe. Best part is it says right there in the article that opinions on next year are divided.Heard this a couple of times today. Where has this come from?

Yeah I think its time to pull the trigger here. WC and Brisbane did it really well, Carlton to a lesser extent (thought they are lucky Teague pulled them from the abyss).ive Long been keen for us to trade next years first.
There comes a time when youve got to load up/pull the trigger and that time for freo is now(even more so for ross)
It’s time to start consolidating the list
Get another decent junior in now in which case he’s got 12 mths AFL development in ahead of a puck next year.
But more so this year I think represents not only good value in the 10-30 range(where our future first would likely get us a pick )but the number of WA players available then with most all fitting desperate needs .
I want to see us bring a few of them through like we did in 2008 and wc have done a few times previously

If we are going to contend before Fyfe and Walters are doneski I dont think drafts after this years will be too relevant.
Back the list in, if as everyone says, next year was always the plan to be making finals and start looking like a threat and get an extra first this year.
It is a fair point about next year's NGA. In addition I am very keen to grab the likely WA players from this draft. I see it as building the club's culture, and also think that a lot of the boys available can fit our list needs quite well. I'm not suggesting an exclusive rule, but a WA bias in this draft could pay dividends.I like the idea as well.
Next year we look like having a good squad of NGA players.
Pull the trigger this year, load up in late points next year.
Agree, he was awesome in the champs game i saw him in.Grainger-Barass looks very good for next year
Our nga stocks are b. walker (who had 7 possessions in the last Colts game i saw), the weaker twin, and 172cm western. Admittedly i am bullish about Joel due to his output this year and his pace but at that height he needs to be exceptional for afl.I like the idea as well.

The vic pool is weak, that is why they say draft is not good. WA and SA full of good players.Apparently next year has a terrible draft do we trade out next years first for a first this year.

My point is i dont think our first is going to be in play for nga next year based on what we know so far. If we want to trade in to 2019 thats fine but i doubt next year's nga factors into it.
I want the club to hold two rookie lists for pre-season and have a host of train on players.There's a few gems in the late draft for Vic (Lachie Stapleton, Mitch Mellis, Zak Pretty, Angus Hanrahan, Adam Carafa) but I 100% agree. I think come mid season draft next year we'll see more 19 Year Old WA/SA/Allies players being drafted. Some blokes like Regan Clarke, Jai Jackson and Jake Pasini i see all being picked mid season if they miss out this year.
