Yeah, they had Bruhn going to GWS. News to me on Macrae and no mention about that in the mock draft.
Actually I wouldn’t take either tall personally, it’s not about how long the rebuild takes, it’s about what we are deficient in. We were dead motherless last in inside 50’s and center clearances this year, and add to that we lost our best midfielder, so it doesn’t matter who we put up forward if that’s not addressed. We simply can’t judge our forward line this season as they are not only all young, but they were not given a chance with the way the ball came in, but there was enough improvement in a few guys like a Himmelberg, McAdam and Stengle to suggest we have the tools already to work around.
Ok stripped back a bit:
No way Adelaide accepts that deal. Pick #1 may be on the table, but only if we're receiving massive overs in return. Pick #1 is worth 3000pts - they wouldn't contemplate trading it for anything less than 4000pts.
Yeah, the AFL Fantasy site...oh wait, it's the same site.
I like that better and the Sydney part of that could definitely happen, probably need their 2021 1st involved though, however I think the second part with Collingwood is more likely to see them move up to 9 to get ahead of any bid on McInnes. GWS could be looking at our 9 as well.
if we pick thilthorpe at 1 then yes we will. we are talking about the best player in the draft here and tilly aint it.
Wonder how they'd feel if North bid on him JUH, the dogs didn't match then the Dogs were allowed to take McDonald out from in front of the Swans.Sydney have announced that apparently they'll bid at 3 on Jamarra if he's still there
Word is we will bid on Braeden Campbell if he's still there at 9.
Swans commit to bid on Ugle-Hagan if he's available at pick No.3
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is set to slip no further than pick No.3 in next Wednesday night's national draft, with Sydney committing to bidding on the Western Bulldogs' academy prospect if he is still available at the Swans' first selection.www.theage.com.au
could not agree with you more..if we are trading pick 1, then it has to be for either pick2, 3 or 4 in this draft AND a 2021 1st - if we had to offer up a 2nd rounder - ie the Melbourne 2nd for Sydney's 1st as part of the swap then I'd do that
Not really. A player selected with #1 pick gets $10K from NAB. Why would we want that to go to a Bulldogs player when we know that Bulldogs will certainly match any bid.
Other way round bud.
bruhn hasnt done an acl. macrae has.
I wouldn't and I hope Hamish and Justin aren't thinking like that unless they don't have Jamarra at the top of their rankings. Pick 1 should be on the player they rate at No.1 regardless of their ties to other clubs through NGA, Academies or Father/Sons. Already we don't have access to Alex Davies or Joel Jeffrey because they've been pre-listed by the GCS which is another AFL rort. Stick true to our rankings.
We need to address our midfield and our forward line. We wont be contending for another 4-5 years so why does it matter if we address our forward line first and then our midfield next year? It wont change the timeframe on our path back to a contending side. This year has a stronger crop of talls so it makes sense to try to address that part of our rebuild this year and then go hard on the mids next year.
Neither have done an ACL and it's Bruhn that has missed a heap of football with knee issues not Macrae.
Hilarious that you think whoever you think goes pick 2 won’t have any pressure on him to perform because your club made a bid for JUH at 1.
Seriously, $10k? This will be a footballer who will play 10 years earning north of $600k each year on average.
And what do you gain by that given that NM will bid the very next pick? Nothing!
I think that's actually their point. Because of the "fishbowl" and spotlight which they'll find on them in Adelaide, whether our choice is pick 1 or pick 2 they will still be under significant pressure to perform given they're the clubs highest ever draft pick.
