2020 Draft and Trades Thread

[Mt Isa Mustang]

The top 10 players seem to be inside mids.
Plus we have Davies coming in.
Last thing we need is more inside mids who can’t play anywhere else on the ground.
Aka Fiorini Brodie Miller Rowell

Elijah Hollands is a Noah Anderson type.

 

[SandyToes]

Take Davies and the best KPD available or power forward

And he’s also done his acl.

Riley Thilthorpe from SA. Is a 199cm ruck forward. He would be a genuine pick number 1 candidate.

There aren’t any tall KPD at the very top end of the draft. Denver Granger-Barras is considered to best KPD, but he’s more your third tall height. Needs to grow 5cm or 6cm.

It looks to me like Thilthorpe would be the obvious choice. King can go back.

No need for King to go back unless you think 2MP or Day are going to break out as forwards?

Thilthorpe would play forward with Luko, Wright. Point is that we can have King play as a key defender long term so we can get another key forward instead of key defender in this year draft especially when Thilthorpe can play in ruck too.

Thilthorpe has been my Lions draft wish for 2020 since early last year.

Just like Ben Ainsworth was a year out, and then Rankine was 18 months out. And I spent much of the end of 2018, and the beginning of 2019 talking up Sam Flanders on the Lions board.

Almost every year, the Suns end up drafting the kid I really want at the Lions.

I don't see the point of moving Ben king back, Thilthorpe will come in and replace Peter Wright. With his age and salary I think GCS will be happy to ship 2MP out ( most probably Essendon - Daniher replacement). 2mp might not work out well with GCS but Essendon I can see him improve.

 

[SandyToes]

I really like Wright.
I wish he would just click for us.
I said before, if he has to go to another Club to fulfil potential so be it.
It would burn my guts to see him killing it elsewhere, but he deserves the chance if we can't find the magic beans to feed him

Sounds like you should just bite the bullet & transfer your allegiance to the Sunnyboys.

eDPS reporting DGB has grown to legitimate KPP height.

Thilthorpe has grown a little aswell just quietly, think he ends up as a ruck long term but will start his career key forward.

Thilthorpe and DGB are the 2 id be drafting this year. KPP depth is poor and we have a makings of a midfield now

Yeah, been wanting Thilthorpe at the Lions since last year.

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

DGB will do.

James Brayshaw IQ = 4

So it’s a deal. You guys draft DGB and we get Thilthorpe.

 

[Peel67skin]

DGB and give what everyone here want and turn Ballard into Mid .

Charlie as a tall running wingman yes please

eDPS says DGB has grown to 195cm, perfect as a second KPD/interceptor. i want him now

 

[Jirik13]

Thilthorpe 200cm 99kg
Grainger-Barras 195cm 78kg

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Charlie as a tall running wingman yes please

Playing a Mitch Robinson defensive winger role
Running back with the flight to intercept marks.
I'm not sure whether he has the pace to play this role to be honest, but at this point im all for optimistic thinking.

If lists are cut, we may be more interested in experienced players squeezed out of other clubs rather than more teenagers.
