I'm not sure it's that, they're simply looking at pick 2.

If we finished 10th like last year and the Band 1 compo was 9th/10th it wouldn't be an issue for them. It's just the carrot is so big because we were so bad.

But thats it. They don't want us to have pick 2. If it was Carlton? No problem - that is how compensation should work.
Us? The system is flawed etc....

Maybe, im not convinced

 

[GROTTO]

I really want us to draft Logan McDonald but then again I really want Elijah Hollands. It is really tough and that's why getting pick 2 would be so good but I am unsure that is realistic now.

Said it from Day 1.

Brouch shapes the entire 2020 draft, he is the answer to everything related to the draft period.

The domino effect of us getting picks 1 and 2 and the power and force we can wield in bidding for players and trading picks will make us a powerhouse of the competition.

This is what AFL footy is all about, forget the flag.

 

[Mr Alldayeveryday]

This.

Hes also the type of player who can play into his mid 30's and for a cheaper contract's.

 

[Mutineer]

hey shorty

That was Phoenix we saw running the water bottle Friday night obviously....that fella on the right end Matthew Roberts mark him down as a genuine 2021 1st round chances even this far out...another "versatile" mid with all bases covered. Must have been injured not to play in one of those games.

Can see why possible 2020 1st round chance Brayden Cook on the other end didn't play in the game. Arm in a sling.

 

[GROTTO]

I know Im doing a Duursma here, but if the Crows get Picks 1 and 2 and possibly 5 via trade with the Suns, is there any possibility that they turn the draft on its head by going McDonald and TT with 1 and 2 and best mids available at 5?

Or will they 100% stick with McDonald/TT and one of Hollands/Phillips??

I think the biggest decision this Club will ever have made is at least exploring what Picks 1 and 2 may get them?

I sense Pick 2 may be gettable from us, especially if it gives us multiple low single digit 1st rounders? Maybe one for next year?

Keep one and two. Trade 9 into next year would be better to me.
McDonald and Hollands.
Top 5 pick (Crows) and top ten pick (other) next year for two high quality mids to go with Hollands, Schoenberg, Hately and Jones.

yeah, if the above ended up where we had 1, 2 and traded up to 5..could we put pick 5 up for a club to see if they want to trade a 2020 1st and a 2021 1st for it - it really would be something to end up with multiple 1sts next year (and ideally we improve next year but still get a top 3-5 pick in our rebuild from our ladder position - if top 3, maybe Jason Horne could be wearing our tri colours???)

if it turns out that way
bid wb nga at 1( hopefully 20 plus 29 ) for 13
1 hollands
2 McDonald
5 tilthorpe. Get 3 best most likely slide. If not dgb or Phillips 8 and 21 rat compo
13 odriscal Perkins ford brun
add newchurch
Borlase
Edwards

Need to then trade Pick 9 to a team that believes they are lock for the 8, like the Demons or even GWS. I could see easily these two teams spiraling down next year.

No way will TT last till 5.

You can forget that idea.

Hollands wont be there past Pick 2.

 

[Chase13]

ok then Holland’s 1. But pick 2. Tilthorpe or McDonald I’m torn don’t know
but as rendel said if ROB goes down we r screwed in ruck. He seems leaning towards tilthorpe but want McDonald too. McDonald chf. Tilthorpe ff

TT will give you a bit more value as he can ruck as well.. personally I'd like us to take TT / Hollands but it's a toss of the coin between the two ( Hollands / McD)

If we have 1,2,5 I feel they will go one of these options:
Option 1
Pick 1 McDonald
Pick 2 DGB
Pick 5 Hollands or if not available Phillips

Option 2
1. Thilthorpe
2. DGB
5. Hollands or if not avail Phillips

Option 3
1. Hollands
2.McDonald/Thilthorpe
5. Phillips

Henry Smith seems to be the forgotten tall on this board, athletic WWT 204cm Forward/Ruck, decent foot skills, good overhead and excellent below his kness for someone his size. Not as forward in his development as Thilthorpe game wise or physically but he's plenty talented with more to come into the future.

where Is he expected to go in draft

 

[Mutineer]

where Is he expected to go in draft

Hard to gauge this year with the unusual season we're having, my best guess with clubs probably thinking he'll be needing some time to develop further physically mid to late draft, more likely later in the draft. Doesn't look to be too many draft ready ruckmen available this year or next unless some come out of the woodwork so that could make it interesting.

This is true - Hopefully he's sitting there in the mid 20's / rookie draft

 

[BigSchlong9]

Say we get pick 2 for crouch and we sit with 1,2,8 and 12 after trading with WB. What are your thoughts on maybe trading 8 for a future 1st next year or maybe 12 or do we go all out in this draft

Ruck is an overrated position.

Look at the elite ruckmen of the competition and look where their respective teams finished.

Elite mids and one power forward is where this game is currently at the moment.

Even if ROB went down a 1st year TT who is a part-time ruck will get destroyed so don't think that is the way to go. I wouldn't mind picking up a ruck in the draft or maybe even trade for one. Hollands and McDonald seem like the way to go for 1 and 2 and hopefully Himmelberg flourishes as that forward who pinch hit in the ruck

 

[Brett Cummings]

looking at the highlights thilthorpe is definitely the better contested mark over mcdonald.
