2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[hey shorty]

i’m hoping we snag Poulter...

He keeps going and he might not last that long.

 

[latinoheat]

And not only that, they took Hately knowing Green was coming the very next year as a higher end big bodied inside mid.

Baffling stuff

Did they just draft best available, rather than on needs?

 

[latinoheat]

Or Jones!

 

[GROTTO]

You do have to wonder about the Syd-GWS result.

Players with a lot of time on their hands, WAGS sitting and drinking champagne in the sunlight.

Then along comes an opportunity to win a bet paying almost $4.50

 

[Peter Doherty]

I know he's done 2 ACLs but Baldwin might be there.

2 ACLs, local kid, normally you'd hope to get this guy as a rookie and hope he comes good. Draft Central still rate him a first round chance. Wonder who pulls the trigger on him.

 

[Mego Red]

??... but if we spend a pick in the 20’s on hately in trade week and newchurch or edwards gets bid on around pick 15-20 then we get hately and them..

Newchurch is not that much better than a rookie pick currently. Edwards is a pick in the late 20s to 30s.

The only people I'm hearing downplay Newchurch are posters on Bigfooty. Draft Central rate him a smokey in the first round and Rendell said similar.

Who should I believe?

 

[BRL121]

Not sure I'd bother with Jackson at all is my point

Yes. My point is that I don't believe we should trade for anything other than a top player or prospect, not more vanilla stuff or depth. Everything we do needs to improve the team.

 

[GreyCrow]

They used a relatively early pick in 2018 on Ian Hill, but he's shown very little since a decent debut game. Ironically Hamill is one they really could have used.

EDIT: beaten by Scorpus

Hill didn't impress me at the nationals.

 

[mistylake]

Fingers crossed I get one crows game in this year from this.

 

[BACCS]

Blakey and McCartin seem to be going ok, but yes they will want to add.

Miles ahead of us in every respect though. Well run club.

Makes it easy to rebuild when you have access to top 5 picks for free year after year regardless of your ladder position

Hopefully not us. Don’t need another tall forward if we get McDonald. Midfield X factor please .

I think that’s a bit simplistic

 

[Mutineer]

Go watch him play, nothing he's shown this season suggests 1st round pick worthy.

 

[Mutineer]

Pretty close to the money but, Heeney, Blakey, Mills in recent times and an absolute beauty again this coming draft in Braeden Campbell, not only 1st round but top end draft talent.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Go watch him play, nothing he's shown this season suggests 1st round pick worthy.

He’s the Shaun Tait to Izak Rankine’s Wasim Akram.

 

[mistylake]

Good lord what’s up with GWS, did they have a camp to address their shithouse grand final performance or what?

hope they continue the shitty performances.

 

[Bay62]

Didn't they just extend Cameron’s contract?

Why? Were they worried someone was going to poach him?

 

[CrowinNT]

How many people are they allowing?
I’m waiting for the alice springs announcement to see how many they let in. Given not much is seated.

The Crowd numbers were reduced to 5461. There is noise that the allocation to GC was quite high.

Do you really need to ask? Bigfooty.

Ok that’s slightly under Traeger Parks capacity.
They usually get 7-8 thousand I reckon.

Maybe the loss of Nicks effect.

Maybe.

I'd suggest late 30s to early 40s likely range

 

[StonesThrow]

I think that’s a bit simplistic

They're obviously a well run club but this also gives them a big advantage.

Their argument that they 'put time and resources into them' is a joke. Every club would do this if they could.

The whole nga thing will run into problems as well that will undermine the whole point of equalisation through the draft.
