List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part III

How long is it since the Saints have actually used our second round pick in the draft? Who was the last player we picked up in the second round?

We haven't used a 2nd in either of our last 2 drafts.

Prior to that we took Clav in 2017 and Long and Battle in 2016

Probably Long?

 

[sammm]

We will most likely be only using 3 picks and 1 of them will be to upgrade Wilkie

Wilkie is already graded isn't he?

 

[SaintOfLondon]

Wasn't Bytel in 2018 a second round?

[TheEnsign]

Just echoing the above, looks like we'll be quiet. Someone more ITK

Wilkie is already graded isn't he?

A Grade in my book

 

[ScrappyDo]

Looking at the picks Essendon have right now, we would probably only get pick 67 for him anyway so we wouldnt be losing much.

I imagine pick upgrades are the go this year.

Mc Kenzie maybe 2016?

I think Battle scrapped into the second round as well the same year

 

[bird_man]

Probably Long?

Clavirino

 

[Armoooo]

Just to clarify a couple of things.

Bytel was our last player drafted in the second round, at pick 41.

6 Academy selection and a free agency compensation pick knocked our pick back, but technically Bytel was taken in the second round.

Clavarino was taken in the second round with Long and Battle the year before also second round selections.

Incredibly, we've taken 4 second round picks since 2016 even though it feels like we always offload them.

Also, Wilkie is still a rookie, will be upgraded this year I imagine.

Just looked it up and apparently that pick 41 for Bytel was technically a second round pick

 

[bird_man]

Wasn't Bytel in 2018 a second round?

Actually you are correct. He snuck into the 2nd round.

So we've used 4 2nd round picks in the last 4 years.

Bytel, Clav, Long and Battle.

Last year was the first time we haven't since 2015

 

[BrutThough]

How long is it since the Saints have actually used our second round pick in the draft? Who was the last player we picked up in the second round?

Pretty sure is was Battle, who was the last pick of rd2 in 2016.

I had forgotten Claverino existed.

2 and a half days to get juicy.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Was chatting to a mate this morning who knows a fair bit about AFL and Trading and he's advised that trades can and will happen this week - don't be surprised to see some of these trades happen as late as Thursday and most (if not all) will involve current AFL players.

PM me if you want more info.

Unless you can name your source I reckon this a load of bullshit

 

[Yawkey way]

I don't have as a first either, i did say a first with there second back which would put his value in the mid 20s? Sounds right to me...

Stephenson, i am neither here, nor there. I value pressure players who contribute and i think Higgins would be a great get and would make our 22 no sweat. I think he will be better then say Jones for example.

A lot of people take that view with points and trades, personally I think it’s a load of crap when it’s a straight up trade.

He‘s a completely different player to jones and won’t play in front of him, he’s a mid/small forward who wants game time. In an ideal world he’d be handy to rotate with Gresham so lonie or Kent miss out assuming both are still there.

 

[JG22]

Herald Sun reporting Richmond have knocked back our future second for Higgins.

So be it. That’s the best I think we can really offer. No way we involve a first.

 

[StCicatriz]

makes Gags and Lethers comments very interesting

Could you post the article from the herald-sun?

Agree, I want Higgins but I'm not sure what else we can offer them. A first seems a bit much

 

[StCicatriz]

i think the problem is we need to hang onto our first so we can future trade next year. pick is too late this year to split it :-(

 

[St Neil]

Maybe a swap of first round picks plus the already offered second round. That could be what the Tigers are wanting.

 

[The_Steadier]

Improving our half forward line is very much in the 'nice to have' category I reckon.

With both billings and gresh able to play forward more next year with the inclusion of crouch- we won't be as exposed at half forward as we were this year with kent.

Plus higgins is far from certain to be an upgrade on kent or sinclair anyway.

Plus- we're not gonna need half forwards next year anyway.
Steele crouch and gresh will be waltzing the ball out of the centre all day direct to max
