Seems to be talk of 14 and 20 for Essendons pick 9 and 35.

Don’t mind this . I’d do it

If O’Sullivan and one of Wilson/Leake are still on the board after Geelong’s pick, I would do this in a heartbeat.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Totally understand but think it would be better to trade 20 into next years draft if we have no interest in using it.
If nexts draft is truly a midfielders draft, that will only strengthen our hand for that

Wouldn’t be opposed to that

SA draft prospect described as a mixture of Jackson, De Koning and Gawn

The South Adelaide ruckman will be selected in next week’s draft.

From a looks perspective that paints a terrifying picture.
Some sort of bald, bearded Weird Al Jankovic/Tayla Harris love child.

Edit: reread it the wrong way. 14/20 for 9 which means we have 9 and 10?

Would love this.

Also happy to through in Melb F2 for 35 this year.

14, 20 and Melb f2 for 9 and 35.

Might be a better strategy to leave out the Melbourne F2 and the pick 35 (just 14 + 20 for 9) and set up a deal with a club for the melbourne F2 at a specific time in the draft if the player we want is there - Pick 35 might be too late to get the player whereas a future pick might tempt a club

Stop making so much sense.

I think the reason given by Essendon types for including 31/35, is that otherwise Essendon would be left with that pick but no list spot to use it. So, unless they could trade one of those picks out, they may require that this forms part of the deal.

I suspect that it would be easier for us to accept that than they to trade it.

Fair call..I'd bet trying to push for our F3 personally, but if it had to be the melbourne F2 - so be it

We could trade it into next year on the night, easily

 

[wimpy]

We aren’t drafting for the ‘Now’ with these early picks

These are for medium and long term making our club / team stronger , not next year

I agree taking a CHB other than Curtin or O'Sullivan would be not be smart, by the time they are AFL ready Murray will back playing good footy again. Crows in desperate need of skilful running mid-fielders. I would be looking at loading up for next year (2024) going after Petty, Sid Draper and Kade Herbert.

Logical thing to do. On draft night another club might be desperate to get a certain player not yet picked and the Crows could extract an excellent deal.

Yeah 35 is dead zone

 

[Crow till I die]

Yeah 35 is dead zone

It will come back in after academy bids - maybe even into the late 20's (of the available players outside the academy and f/s kids) - and you'd think if we wanted a ruck, we will get one or maybe a risk on Moir?

It (35) comes in four, but gets pushed out more - it'll be 36-38 on the night.

Moir confused me

I don't know if he tanked or he genuinely switched off which is a red flag

Had an injury that he was dealing with didnt he?..

That includes the academy and f/s players which we don't have access to so it would still be in the late 20's of the available pool of players

 

[BigBoSS_Riot]

Yes, and that pool of players is counted in official selections. Why would you choose not to count it? It's a meaningless distinction to make. Thilthorpe wasn't pick 1, was he?

Also, it isn't even necessarily true that you can't access them. If a player gets bid a lot earlier than expected (Will Graham for instance), Gold Coast might not match.

And even if you don't count those players, 35 still only comes in four (Gold Coast's 24, 26, 27 and 32 get eaten), so someone like you could only read it as 31. Not late 20s.

Simple - because with our pick 10 - we are considering taking O'Sullivan, Wilson, Leake - we are not considering Read, Rogers, McCabe etc as they are not available to us. Its reality as players simply are not available when their aligned clubs are wedded and pick ready to take them.

 

[CromradeCromulent]

If we draft Connor O'Sullivan his nickname is Lettuce. This is non-negotiable.

 

[Mostyn]

I wonder if anyone last year was suggesting we should load up in 2023 for Moir.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit

Especially if they want a tall (Green, Goad or ZZ maybe)
