Not as bad as trading for 13 but geez it is still so risky with how we go next year.

 

[Daemon]

Hmmmm. That seems like a lot to give up. Although pick 9 is good.

 

[Scythe]

A lot to give, but still rather that than 13. Could set up our midfield for the next decade if we get it right.

 

[Scythe]

Essendon fans very unhappy so that's a positive

Wait until we finish bottom 4

 

[Jessie G]

Great work by JT and Lamb. JT must have something he really wants that we must get in that top 10.

Urge to kill fading....fading.... then they pick Smillie with pick 9....RISING

 

[Scythe]

Wait until we finish bottom 4

Yup. Although nothing seems to motivate us to not be shit more than trading out an F1 (went from 9th to 4th after the Lever deal, and 17th to 9th in 2020 after trading up for Koz).

Here's hoping we can reach the lofty heights of 12th at least.

 

[MarcMaverick]

OK so I have been a bit out of the loop here.

What are we doing?

A lot to give, really? Think it’s a great result. We’ll get a gun with pick 9 who will probably play straight away, along with pick 5. Think everyone agrees we need some young top end talent and now we’ll get two stars. Top 10 of this draft is so strong

 

[MarcMaverick]

I like Tauru.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Whats the status with Derksen?

 

[Crusty Demon]

Dees fans:

Not sure many Dees fans are salivating over Sharp. Most have no idea who he is. He has speed, so that's something at least that might see Sparrow get sent to Casey.

Agree that the draft is strong and I'm mostly OK with it as a result.

But it's also true that it's a lot to give: if we finish in the same position next year (certainly possible), it'll be Picks 5, 28 and 40 for Pick 9. So yes, it's a gamble.

 

[Scythe]

Whats the status with Derksen?

Sounds like GWS are hanging onto him.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Interesting to see who it is we have our eye on with the second pick, id genuinely rather another KPF like Armstrong or KPD like Trainor or a utility like Tauru more than Smillie. Ideally we somehow get two of: Smith, Langford, O'Sullivan, Reid, Lalor or Draper. Probably asking for a lot hoping for that.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Sounds like GWS are hanging onto him.

So their L.M is acting like Dodoro, over a player who has yet to debut 2 1/2 years after being drafted, even though he wants to come here.

Don't they have mids to replace with Cummings, Perryman and soon to be Peatling leaving?

 

[Dancing Potato]

A lot to give, but still rather that than 13. Could set up our midfield for the next decade if we get it right.

Yeah, I don't necessarily mind this one if JT can nail the picks.

Trading a F1 is always a gamble given our current trajectory, but if the top 10 is strong then the payoff is a year of development in a gun kid impacts us earlier and maybe we aren't bottom of the barrel when Tassie joins the comp.

 

[ozzy2012]

I like it obviously we really rate the draft this year and I’m staying positive on next year you never no what will happen.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Also what's the story with Riak?

100% – a combo of any of those would be a good result. I'm more open to Armstrong if we grab a gun mid first. Draper and Tauru would be an excellent outcome though.

Think Trainor probably slides down a fair bit with all his concussion issues. Big risk (which is a shame for him)

 

[Crusty Demon]

I've never heard of Harry sharp but isn't he fringe in a team that is good?
Cox getting dropped in a bunch of crap that sam weidemann got games in.

What's with all the Cox talk? He's fn sh**house

Him and Reid unfortunately.

Isn't next year meant to be heavily compromised? I guess if we finish top 10 next year it probably looks OK, but any worse than that and it'll be awful.
