Unofficial Preview 2020 Draft Discussion

[Judd2Sewell]

Downie at 22. Not good.

We have to make some moves.

You can live trade so have a deal ready to go

Downie at 22. Not good.

We just trade out pick 24 on the night if that happened. Not ideal but not a disaster.

 

[Manila_Hawk]

This draft is like trying to pick a winner for the Melbourne Cup.

Every form guide has a different favourite. Weight vs exposed form vs ability to travel the distance.

Just when you think you have picked the winner, you read something else to change your mind.

NOTE: Surprise Baby is still running. They left the lights on. I would have needed at least 20 bets to pick the winner

 

[Stratton24]

Herald Sun guide says North a chance to take Perkins at 2. Scott Clayton loves him.

I take it as every player in the top 8 range would be a chance at 2. Can’t see them pulling the trigger for Perkins ahead of thilthorpe/McDonald/Holland’s

If true that we have ruled out Holland's this early than likely so have Adelaide, North and Sydney

You would have to do it before the bid comes because the AFL have changed the rules

I heard this the other day. Wow.

 

[bradburygold]

Theres a mock draft podcast on the same link, not sure if it was recorded same day? There guesses were way off what this board sees as possibilities (DGB gets to us) and Downie wasnt taken by the final pick Saints which I think ended up being pick 26.

 

[toomanysquibs]

If Downie is selected earlier, say 15 will it make us feel better?
I love that kick, Clinton young

like without the hook at the end.

It's Darren Kappler like – super penetration on that thing, almost like Richard Wilkins and the visiting A-list back in the day.

No you can trade after the bid.

If that's true why don't we try trade Pick 4 & 24 to North for Pick 2.

They get the extra pick and their man. We get a shot at bringing in Logan McDonald & get rid of the possibility of the pick being spiked by a Downie bid.

If North want Perkins at 2 how do they get their man by trading it out? We could take him at 2 and they miss out.

 

[TheFourPillars]

No you can trade after the bid.

Didn't they amend the rule after the swans did that? You have to do all your trading of picks before the bid comes. I mean if the bulldogs hypothetically had pick 2 for instance they can't trade it after the bid from Adelaide at pick 1 for JUH

you can't trade out a pick and then after the bid trade a pick back in with the same club

 

[Bugs1977]

I'm pretty sure your right. I thought the rule change was more to do with the picks you can bandy up to match with and the team you were trading with (stopping the wink wink nudge nudge trades). Where are all the Carlton fans when you need them that 99% of know how these rules work

ok cool

 

[RiverRiver]

Hodge and Sicily both had attitude problems early on.
Very happy to take the risk on Hollands and if he’s not available, on Perkins.
Classy Mid/Forward X-Factor is what I’m hoping we’re targeting this draft before turning our attention from next year to our spine through FA, Trade or even the draft again.

Sic has not any attitude problems - just have 3 or 4 on field incidents and that came 4 years into his career

We can bid on Campbell first to which I think we would be happy with anyway

 

[VandoHawk]

Article on AFL website suggests that Crows are likely to bid on JUH. Doesn’t really impact us but thought it was interesting.

What would be really interesting is if North bid on Campbell.

 

[Yardie]

So many posters backing different horses, going to be a lot of disappointed people.

Everyone's gonna be disappointed when they pick a human.....

Disagree. I think every Hawthorn supporter loves his fiery’ness (Especially now), but he likely would’ve had more sit downs with Clarko than anyone else on our list, which I’m saying is a testament to the way we handle differing attitudes.

I think Sic suffers from white line fever which is different to what is being said about Hollands.
