No oneI mean if they want to hand it over who am I to say no![]()
I think the dogs will have quite a few list spots. They have a few blokes leaving and a couple of rookies to elevate (which can be done after the national draft).the trouble with that is that the dogs can only use as many picks as list spots they have. ie, if they only have 3 spots they can only use 3 picks. so we can't simply throw a sh*t ton of low picks at them. a second rounder might be needed to ensure it has value for them, because if it doesnt they'll go elsewhere. so we might have to lose one in the 20s instead and use one in the 30s/40s ourselves. even with ccj going we only have 3 spots to use anyway.
Everyone needs to be reminded of this every day. Thank youNo one
You are no one
Dogs only have 17 + 74 and they wont use 74 so if they trade in our 3 picks then they'll use 1 for Darcy and only have to find 2 other spots, one is covered by Lipinski going and I haven't looked but I'm sure that there's at least 2 others gone.the trouble with that is that the dogs can only use as many picks as list spots they have. ie, if they only have 3 spots they can only use 3 picks. so we can't simply throw a sh*t ton of low picks at them. a second rounder might be needed to ensure it has value for them, because if it doesnt they'll go elsewhere. so we might have to lose one in the 20s instead and use one in the 30s/40s ourselves. even with ccj going we only have 3 spots to use anyway.

Chol was a rookie wasn't he, so it's only 3 spots with ccj going.Dogs only have 17 + 74 and they wont use 74 so if they trade in our 3 picks then they'll use 1 for Darcy and only have to find 2 other spots, one is covered by Lipinski going and I haven't looked but I'm sure that there's at least 2 others gone.
We've cut CCJ, Chol, Naish, Houli & Astbury with only Tarrant coming in, so that's 4 spots so far, Garth and Caddy might be gone as well as Egg off the rookie list (which won't affect our main list spots before the draft) That's possibly 6 spots for us to fill. My hope is that we take:
7-15-17-26-28 to the draft
You left of castagna, a 3 time flag winner as a rookie pick.I'm not certain we desperately need to trade up into the draft as much as we feel we do. We could pick up a huge amount of talent with our picks below 40. We've certainly proven that we can do that in previous drafts. Here is the players on our list that were acquired with picks below 40 -
Pick 2 - Cotchin
Pick 3 - Dusty
Pick 7 - Caddy
Pick 9 - Prestia
Pick 9 - Vlaustin
Pick 11 - Lynch
Pick 13 - Jack
Pick 15 - D.Rioli
Pick 20 - RCD
Pick 21 - Dow
Pick 25 - Balta
Pick 26 - Edwards
Pick 29 - Bolton
Pick 31 - McIntosh
Pick 35 - Nankevis
Some notable players who were gained for much later picks -
PSD Pick 2 - Grimes
Rookie Draft Pick 11 - Short
Rookie Draft Pick 46 - Lambert
Rookie Draft Pick 68 - Soldo
SSD - Stack
Oh, and we improved a Rookie Pick 30 to a ND pick 38 - Chol![]()
9 flags out of the 2015 rookie draft through Castagna, Short, Lambert and Soldo, pretty good i reckonI'm not certain we desperately need to trade up into the draft as much as we feel we do.

We would need to get rid another rookie. We had an extra rookie when we drafted Parker in the MSDWe really should be taking 5 picks in this years draft
Need to piss off Egg & Garth and we could always drop a player to the rookie list
Rookie list out: Chol - EggsmithWe would need to get rid another rookie. We had an extra rookie when we drafted Parker in the MSD
Chol was on the senior listRookie list out: Chol - Eggsmith
Main List out : Garthwaite - Houli - Astbury - Naish - Coleman Jones
In : Tarrant - Parker
Caddy to rookie gives us 5 spots i believe
That's a great hand , the extra pick from the dogsDogs only have 17 + 74 and they wont use 74 so if they trade in our 3 picks then they'll use 1 for Darcy and only have to find 2 other spots, one is covered by Lipinski going and I haven't looked but I'm sure that there's at least 2 others gone.

Caddy is contracted mate, there’s no way he’s going onto the rookie list. We’d have tk delist him to do so.Rookie list out: Chol - Eggsmith
Main List out : Garthwaite - Houli - Astbury - Naish - Coleman Jones
In : Tarrant - Parker
Caddy to rookie gives us 5 spots i believe
Jack Graham was it pick 55?
Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com
2 time Premiership playerYes he was though I only was placing players who we chose below pick 40 to show what we could get with this years picks. Probably should have put Graham in the notable section though.![]()
Just a quick question on cadds. Have we ever given him a decent amount of time in the guts with dusty and cotch to learn that role? Imo he could be an absolute wrecking ball inside if we used him that way....Rookie list out: Chol - Eggsmith
Main List out : Garthwaite - Houli - Astbury - Naish - Coleman Jones

The recruiters have done a fantastic job finding talent outside the system especially during recent lean draft years...now it's time to reload on some future guns...thinking two out of Callaghan, hobbs, ward or possibly Erasmus would set us up nicely....2 time Premiership player. Marlion Pickett and Liam Baker are also in that premiership club, and both were taken outside the National Draft
Yeh ,on the ball, half back,wing shithouse in all 3Just a quick question on cadds. Have we ever given him a decent amount of time in the guts with dusty and cotch to learn that role? Imo he could be an absolute wrecking ball inside if we used him that way....
Funny though I cannot remember him playing on the ball that much. I spose we didn't need him to...he did look good playing forward though....he is handy and it would be a shame to lose him...Yeh ,on the ball, half back,wing shithouse in all 3
Dropped and didn't return, he'd be in trouble if he didn't have a year left on his contract on good coin
He didn't get alot of time on the ball, but didn't impact when he was there, he's a medium forwardFunny though I cannot remember him playing on the ball that much. I spose we didn't need him to...he did look good playing forward though....he is handy and it would be a shame to lose him...
TWO??. I'm thinking they would be happy to get one of those first three you mentioned.The recruiters have done a fantastic job finding talent outside the system especially during recent lean draft years...now it's time to reload on some future guns...thinking two out of Callaghan, hobbs, ward or possibly Erasmus would set us up nicely....
