[Jeremias]

It's a bizarre thing to get your knickers in a twist about.

I don't wear knickers, darling.

 

[Wild Bill]

Hey, we’re fine with that.

When…

VIC kids stop telling clubs they don’t want to leave Melbourne/Geelong.

It’s a national competition. If they’re not prepared to move interstate, don’t sign the consent form.

Rookie contracts are extended to 4 years, and clubs have the right to extend contracts out to 8 years.

Kids stay for the full length of their contract.

Clubs have to declare all third party

Its not only the Vic kids that steer clubs away from recruiting them.

I agree with the 4 years min for Rookie's

Hot

 

[briztoon]

Oh ok. According to who?

There were rumours that we told one kid last year, if he was there at our second pick, we would take him. And that’s from the kid himself.

Turns out the kid didn’t even last to our first pick.

Sounds like the reverse Dodoro.

Is that in the Karma Sutra?

 

[flipper83]

I think GWS & Suns should get some extra Sal Cap relief as they need to pay more for players for retention at this stage as new clubs

I'm not sure extra salary cap is the solution. They're already paying average players way more than they are worth to meet the cap floor. I think extra list spots is a better solution.

Gold Coast just gave away pick 7 in order to get Bowes off their books their cap was so tight.

4 years probably too much imo.
3 years should be the length (least for 1st round picks)

 

[TylerDurden]

3 weeks out from the draft. Aside from Cadman, I'd suggest none of the clubs have locked anything away. Then you factor in pick trades.

Still recall 2 years ago when North picked Phillips at 3. Not even Cal picked it the night before. Literally no one knew outside of the recruiters themselves.

Yep. Kind of threw everything out of whack that selection as I was honestly expecting Sydney to get DGB, and I think Sydney were going to go after DGB but when McDonald was suddenly and unexpectedly available at our pick we couldn't say no.

It’s rare - he had an amazing strike rate last year.

The phillips draft was tough as so many Vic kids didn’t get to play.

Turns out the kid didn’t even last to our first pick.

Hawthorn told Dylan Moore they'd take him with their first pick (45) in 2017 if available. We didn't, because we didn't expect James Worpel to still be undrafted. At pick 67 we finally took Moore. It must have been a nervous wait for him, considering he was a huge Hawks fan as a kid too.

Crazy draft in hindsight, with obvious reasoning.

A lot of guys already delisted after only 1 contract.

Denver Grainger-Barras was a lock to land at Sydney. But Logan McDonald was unexpectedly available and they took him instead.

So you can always count on certain teams throwing a spanner in the works.

Yes, but leading into that draft Cal mentioned he wasn’t sure who we would pick.

Completely different to what’s going around the industry at the moment.

Jesus Christ that’s a steal if I’ve ever seen one

St.Kilda (Clark and Coffield) and Carlton (Dow and O'Brien) both had 2 top ten picks.

We didn't enter the draft until 45.

There is as much skill as there is luck sometimes with talent identification.

Clark and Coffield aren't that bad in fairness.

Essendon actually did okay with Brandon Zerk-Thatcher and Matt Guelfi at 66 and 77 actually.

A pretty average draft though, still

Don't mind the Saints lads, but Worpel has won a B&F and Moore just averaged 20 touches and over a goal a game (only player other than Bontempelli).

Will see how all 4 fare after their careers are done.

Edit: I love Guelfi by the way.

That sounds like Dodo music

 

[Mutineer]

Adelaide will attempt to get back into the 1st round 2022 if a certain player slips to where they think they can swing a deal using 2023 draft collateral, they also have another later target if that player is taken. Will only take the one player though is what I'm hearing.

 

[hawkinoz]

And another Ashcroft in 2024

If he didn't have a brother, would Will nominate for FS and move to lions.

Would it not make sense to stay in Vic close to family. But with FS, he has more surety that his brother will get drafted to lions as well and they can play together.

I felt like the Davey nomination was delayed for long for same reason, they wanted assurance the other Davey would also get picked up by Bombers.

It wasn't

 

[doug85]

I've heard it'll be Wardlaw, Tsatas or Humphrey depending on who North takes, if we keep the pick.

If Wardlaw is there we will take him.

This makes the most sense.
