This gets said way more often than it actually happensIMO we've got enough ammo to do damn near anything we want this draft. If we chose to use it.
Getting pick 5 (assuming we don't earn it), should be child's play!

Oh totally. We've been nothing if not passive in trade up's in the past, had 1 decent swing of the bat and thats about it.This gets said way more often than it actually happens
Thats the point i'm making, there are no guarentee's in any of it, only offers. From here mathematically we could drop as low as 16th or climb as high as 5th in the season. But we have huge ammo linked to our 1st, North's 2nd, GCS's 2nd and a F1 we are not looking to hold onto, which is enough to get us in the conversation of a trade of damn near anyone.So what player are we moving up to secure that is guaranteed to be there and what club/clubs are you suggesting would be open to trading down their pick remembering West Coast and North have more dire quality player wise needs than us?
Unless we win some games we are not expected to win from here on we will have a decent pick anyhow.
How do we get in Harley Reid territory?

Why not? If a player isn’t in the best team including ahead of bottom agers they’re unlikely draftable and it’s not about “giving them a go”Why do the U18 state teams pick bottom-agers?
Players get drafted each year who were outside the state teams. Jordan Dawson for one.Why not? If a player isn’t in the best team including ahead of bottom agers they’re unlikely draftable and it’s not about “giving them a go”
it’s the best players eligible to make the side who are under that age- not between certain ages, theoretically a 15yr old could be picked.
The State games are a competition and the All Australian side is one of the outcomes.Players get drafted each year who were outside the state teams. Jordan Dawson for one.
They don't invite under-agers to the draft combine. Why? What if some under-agers are amazing athletes and would score well on the tests?
Because they can't be drafted. It would be pointless.
Seems equally pointless to me
That's not why it exists thoughThe State games are a competition and the All Australian side is one of the outcomes.
The draft combine is solely about displaying and measuring athletes to be drafted.
Apologies... he played one game out of six?
Jordan was a member of the SA U18 Squad in 2015.
Are you implying that his form this year isn’t reflective of the player he actually is? Would you have a crack with our second rounder? Or too risky?Ashton Moir another lack lustre game for the Bays reserves today, has to be something going on here.

Good question , I reckon it’s partly because they’re good enough to make team better and partly because the recruiters want to see them at that levelWhy do the U18 state teams pick bottom-agers?
He’s a gunTrade up for Nick Watson. He’ll be the second best player to come out of this draft.
Yep the recruiters have a pretty big say in each states selection overallThat's not why it exists though
It's effectively the game element of the draft combine

Reeks of coaches chasing a result (win) rather than trying to get players draftedDraft combine is for testing pre draft… as in those who may get drafted
U18 state team is a best Available under that age, whatever age they are. Naturally it’s a part of pre draft assessments but no one ever says it’s just for those getting drafted.
‘’if you’re good enough you deserve to play representative footy whether your getting drafted that year or not. Its about the best plating the best.
‘’if they were selecting an underager to give them a taste or further their development that’s different, but if they deserve to be in the team then that’s end of debate really
I guess it ultimately comes down to the why of the squad.Reeks of coaches chasing a result (win) rather than trying to get players drafted
What is their role I wonder? Their KPIs?
A criticism of the SA program in the past has been that we tend to pick players who might be successful at the Under 18 carnival (strong but slow midfielders, undersized key defenders etc) instead of those with the skills/athletic traits that could see them drafted.
