If we get pick 2-4 we are more than likely to trade down with a Victorian team who want to draft one of those high Victorian midfielder and we target Roberts who slide due to his injury.Surely if we got pick 2 then we'd have to do a trade with north. I don't expect reid to be productive though, he's useless. He even let port leapfrog us in the superdraft a few years ago. They got rozee and we got jones. Completely outplayed by port.
I think this deal may have some legs but is dependent on whether or not North feel Dumont is on the way out as a FA. I've heard some things that suggest he may be looking to move back to SA & that we may be interested in him. A trade scenario for Crouch would mean North receives the maximum benefit of the FA compo for Trent, whilst only sliding a few spots in the draft but still ending up with one of the better Vic Kids (Sinn, Sonsie, Rachele)
Trading Crouch and our pick (currently 5) for Pick 1 would value Crouch at 78. We could even look to have a swap of seconds (24>20) to even things out a bit more. I wouldnt be all to fussed about this. All this under the proviso we are offering Dumont enough to net North a second-rounder in FA compo.
ADL Gain: Horne, Dumont
NM Gain: Crouch, Pick 5, AND another 2nd rounder as FA compo.
we prolly wont get horne. fin callaghan is next best according to twomey.If we get pick 2-4 we are more than likely to trade down with a Victorian team who want to draft one of those high Victorian midfielder and we target Roberts who slide due to his injury.

U18s SA form often gets overlooked , Will Hayward as an example should have gone higher but wasn’t playing league or reserves
Everybody wants Horne but he isn’t the be all end all as there seems to be a lot of talented midfielders in this draft. Predicting the future is also difficult, Rankine in the super draft was the most wanted and look now. He playing ok but no where near what was projected. He’s playing at a pick in the 40s not pick 3Surely if we got pick 2 then we'd have to do a trade with north. I don't expect reid to be productive though, he's useless.

Would be interesting if we did. Maybe a swap of pick 2 with a side around pick 6 or 7 and also get their 2022 1st rounder if we were after roberts this year and had a strong idea he would be there at our pick. The extra 1st next year helps with a possible OOC rankine or lukosius next yearIf we get pick 2-4 we are more than likely to trade down with a Victorian team who want to draft one of those high Victorian midfielder and we target Roberts who slide due to his injury.
If gallagher is better than roberts then you just pick gallagher. Unless you get way overs in a deal from another club. You won't see north not pick horne because he's not from vic.Would be interesting if we did.

Jesus freo? Really? What is wrong with these kids lately? SA born, freo supporter? What happened therrif he did ask to be traded home it would be to port. he's a fremantle supporter but also said he wouldnt mind playing for the power. never even mentioned the crows. only way he gets to the crows if if we draft him.
Problem for us is that if GC finish below us and close to the bottom, they can drive a harder bargain knowing they could let either walk to the draft and we wont get either if they are angry enough with our offer. I'd rather offer up decent collateral to strike a deal and get the player we want if it pans out like that. Sure try to go in lower but have that pick up your sleeve in case you have to use itIf gallagher is better than roberts then you just pick gallagher. Unless you get way overs in a deal from another club. You won't see north not pick horne because he's not from vic.
I wouldn't give up a 2022 first rounder for rankine or luko when they're out of contract.
This one from me aged well!I looked at the run home for the bottom 3 sides and the way the Suns are playing vs the way the Roos and Hawks are playing, I wouldn't rule out the Suns having pick 1.
SUNS: RICH, GWS, WB, MELB, BRIS, CARL, ESS, SYD
HAW: PORT, FREO, MELB, BRIS, ADEL, COLL, WB, RICH
NORTH: WB, WC, ESS, CARL, GEEL, RICH, SYD, ADEL
Sun's lose out, Hawthorn win 1 more and North go 2-6 and GC are at pick 1.
And I really don't think any of those 3 things are out of the question.

For all that was made of the '2018 Superdraft', 3 years in and that 1st round has more then its fair share of players yet to live up to their draft hype. Still early days, but I think its fair to say its not provided the level of impact players that it was expected too.Everybody wants Horne but he isn’t the be all end all as there seems to be a lot of talented midfielders in this draft.

I was dreaming that maybe Suns could sneak a win over Carlton, never imagined they would knock off the Tigers!!This one from me aged well!
I think we have a real chance at 16th, especially if games get moved to Victoria, cannot see us catching the Suns and North in the bottom two spots without some divine intervention. The Suns would need to somehow win one (we should be cheering REALLY hard for them in their game against Carlton) and North might sneak a win before we see them in the last round.
This is happening more and more. The younger generation tend to follow players rather than teams. They don't have the same 'loyalty' as older generations.For his age group i'd wager there's a fair bit of Fyfe in there as well (for good reason)
America is about 20 years further down the road of celebrity worship than we are. We'll probably get there though.This is happening more and more. The younger generation tend to follow players rather than teams. They don't have the same 'loyalty' as older generations.
You see it in the NBA, where there are LeBron supporters and they happily follow him to whatever team he supports.
They are, but our younger generation are much more heavily influenced by American culture than my generation was.America is about 20 years further down the road of celebrity worship than we are. We'll probably get there though.

Pick 18 is consider a first rounder.If gallagher is better than roberts then you just pick gallagher. Unless you get way overs in a deal from another club. You won't see north not pick horne because he's not from vic.
I wouldn't give up a 2022 first rounder for rankine or luko when they're out of contract.
Noble likes to trade down so who knows.If Horne is even remotely close to the talent you're talking him up as, North will back themselves in to keep him and just work through that. If it that bad however, he'll fall to us without us needing to do anything.
