[ThePheonix]

You might have noticed the knee should bend before making contact with the ball, just the truth.

Hmm OK.

What exites you about D'Aloia? Seems to me he can't spread and that kicking is awful, straight legged and stabby. He'll slip past our picks and right to the end of the draft.

He's a crouch clone

 

[cityslick1]

any chance SA clubs have asked Lemmey to take it easy this year, with guarantee that they will pick him up. He has dropped off a bit in people's ratings, and I cant help thinking that this must happen with some interstate prospects....

ie is he better than the 20 - 30 range that he is now in

Not IMO.

He’s been very underrated personally.

I’m not sure other than Ashcroft any other draftee has put in the performances of D’Aloia this year. Particularly since he played against men in the SANFL reserves for a fair portion of the year.

I know Clark has been compared to Selwood. But I also see a lot of Selwood in Adam. He’s supposedly got excellent leadership qualities too.

Just have a look at the below little clip and you can see the way he is able to work through traffic in congestion.

If we didn’t just get Mitchell I would have been keen on us taking him with one of our 20’s picks, but now he’s not so much a need.

Is 25 and 27 for their 22 and a future 2nd a good outcome for us? Gives them enough points after matching a Davey bid to get another player inside 30.

They're are a couple of potential problems I can see with this.

Firstly Essendon would be hoping that no bid comes prior to pick 22 so they can use it as a live selection and I doubt they'd look to kindly on us being upfront with threats to bid on Davey at 16 unless they meet our trade demands. We'd need to tiptoe around the subject presenting our trade offer "should" a bid come from any of the 17 other teams on the night.

Secondly if they were open to doing a trade like this they would surely prefer to only hold picks 25 and 27 after a bid is matched given we'll be getting two live selections (22 + F2nd) out of the deal. Remember it'll be Dildoro we're dealing with.

The only way I can see this being achieved would be the trading of pick 22 for our 51, the bid then matched and then when it came to our pick 25 we'd trade 25 and 27 for their future 2nd.

Lemmey has dropped a long way, given almost a year ago he was in the top 10 prospects

Nah, this is a key development year for these kids and it would be crazy to ask a player to do that. There's taking it easy and then just falling off a cliff and he did more of the latter. It's interesting, previously in this thread people are finding excuses as to why a kid failed when put up against the best of his peers, and then other players who performed awesome like Jefferson are being played down as having more flaws. The lure of the unknown i suppose.

Trade 25 and 27 for a 2nd rd pick in next years super draft

The question is do we need another developing mid? Even without Mitchell he would be excess to needs and I can't see him getting a game over some of the mids we have coming through. If anything, he will go to Adelaide with one of their later picks, I don't see him going top 30 but that's just an opinion, I could be way off

We traded our future first in 2020 on draft night.

KPPs aren't always in the top ten of their draft class but still go on to play very well. Mitch Lewis was a throwaway pick in the 70s but has cracked Hawthorn's team. Lemmey's weaknesses can be fixed with the right environment but it seems almost certain (from various things I've heard) we'll be taking at least one of Lemmey, Keeler or Barnett.

 

[Michael T]

Like to be our first if he’s available

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Looks a player. Only question for us is, is he a quicker Ginnivan, or a candidate to replace Elliott eventually?

I would think him a bargain in the 20’s, but for the position he projects to play, maybe not someone you’d want to spend a first rounder on.

 

[partypie]

I think they only closed the loop when you're trading in and out of the exact same pick.

We would be trading them pick 27 first and then pick 25 in that particular scenario. Both of which they never had.

They closed the loophole when a club tries to park a higher pick with another club (meaning they can match a bid with later picks) and then essentially receive a similar pick back in return in a subsequent trade.

You're right though in that this isn't the same thing because they'd still have to use 27 and 51 in the bid match anyway, but having said that I'd be a bit nervous about the Bombers pushing for a top-8 spot again next year (assuming the other Scott can get back to being a semi-competent coach), so they're probably one of the teams I wouldn't want to be playing future-pick roulette with.

Given the draft pool this year fades out and next years is deeper, I can't see clubs agreeing to a deal like that.

 

[KinderSmock]

He has a ... basketball background. Utah Jazz fan apparently and has tipped Golden State to defend their title.

 

[whiskeytown]

I hope they only use 16 and 25… and then trade 27 out for a future 2nd…. then finally upgrade Noble

Important to get back into next years draft…

Now with Grundy and Henry gone there isn’t much of expendable but high value left to sell next year… so trading back into the 2023 draft is crucial imo

GC and Melbourne perhaps two clubs that may be interested in pick 27… as they both have several projected top 40 picks in 2023, but minimal picks inside top 40 this year…

GC will be taking minimal picks. If they wanted players from this draft they wouldn’t have traded all their early picks away. No chance they’ll suddenly want to trade back in to the second round. Melbourne maybe.

You mean giving melbourne back 27 that they gave us for grundy lol Only at collingwood.

Even if Bombers make the top 8 next year it should be worthwhile if we effectively upgrade pick 25 to 22 this year and swap 27 for their second round next year.
