Fairy nuff.

Hairy muff

If we are going to split and still get the dogs pick for young, we'd want to split to get another pick in next yrs draft? 3 in this one and 2 in next yrs seems like a better balance.

You don't want 4 top picks in a draft Essendon have loaded up with 4 or 5. That's the wrong draft

 

[Mr Magic]

It's a very good way of looking at it, i just figure is they think sharp falls past us and then it seems like the best case scenario for them to take someone they think we'd take a pick before us hence the cumming thought.

yeah but if Cumming is gone, why would we not take Sharpe?

I rate Cumming pretty high, would not take Sharpe behind any Joe average

I don't think any mocks that i have seen have us taking sharp, that was the thought process behind it (obviously understand our board likes him though)

Again!!!!! Really paid off when they took Reid, Cox and Perkins They sure know what draft to trade in to

most think Sharpe will be gone in the top 2 don't they?

Some have their biases, and some I take with a grain of salt.

He won the Larke but has been talked about for years

I've seen a couple with wce only having the 1 pick and Sharpe falling past 5.

 

[Morro]

Hes had 3 x BOG in a row brah and another 2nd or 3rd best.

its not enough..................................................or is it? Will wait for tiger_tough to tell us

I’m still waiting for Hicksy tbh.

well it is just my opinion but Duursma is one of the highest rated across the board. if he slips to us we pick him, but I think this is unlikely.

I cannot see West Coast passing on Duursma unless they trade down for someone else to pick him so the compo has to suit West Coast.

Sharpe might slip a little based on needs etc.. at certain times but I cannot see him slipping far.

I have Cumming ahead of Sharpe for us based on our existing players and position. But if Cumming is gone can't see us passing up on Sharpe. This would not apply to West Coast or Essendon because they have different players and profiles.

So if Duursma slips to us we pick him, in my mind. If Duursma does not slip to us he has been picked. So if Cumming is picked at 2 I cannot see us not picking Sharpe at 3 or 4. If Duursma is picked and Cumming not picked nor is Sharpe picked who else got picked at 2??? CDT maybe??? If that is the case I am picking Cumming if I am RFC. My current view is RFC cannot pass up on both Cumming and Sharpe. If we pass up on Sharpe we must have Cumming because I see Cumming doing a bit of what Sharpe does inside contest but not to the same extent while Cumming is selected for other traits suiting our player mix in my mind

I would be very surprised if Sharpe falls past Essendon, and if he does a few clubs will probably look to trade up to get him I would suspect because you know what you are going to get and generally it will be seen as a win and he has good leadership plus can play straight away. If Sharpe gets to Essendon and they do not want him another club will probably trade up for him I think

somethin in that

 

[Dr Tigris]

Would we take Sharp I wonder. I have my doubts

I would, in a heartbeat.

 

[tigs2010]

I would, in a heartbeat.

You're team Morro ey?

 

[59Stanley]

Jeepers i like the cut of Oskar Taylors jib the kid looks very likely no wonder we are looking to acquire more early pick !!!

This is where it gets interesting if wce could get 5 6 from essendon for pick 1 and a later pick etc.
I think from this position it makes richmonds draft hand very interesting. CDT probably goes at 3 or 4, whether that is via trade or richmond pick, which then leaves Sharp at pick 4, im not sold with richmonds list build we'd 100% take him (even though I do agree id take him). When there are probably 3-5 other players who may fit a direct need and is around the mark would we go for them?

It obviously depends on how much they think the likelihood of richmond taking Sharp is

That's the rationale atleast on wce taking cumming at pick 2.

1. Essendon Dursma
2. WCE Cumming
3. Richmond/cdt (trade etc)
4. Richmond?
5. Wce Sharp falls?
6. Wce

Some dumb campaigner flagged him as a great rookie option for us. Looks a 1st rounder.

 

[The Vaucluse]

I’m not convinced West Coast can go to the AFL request assistance and then trade either pick 1 or 2. I think they would be taking the piss, particularly as it’s seen to be a weaker draft with a number of the high end talent being aligned to the Northern Academies. As we know, when they get pick 2 for Allan, which is a joke, it’s the AFL giving them a bit of a leg and I’m certain conversations have been had within the corridors of AFL House about this. The AFL media department has been communicating the message through SEN and Kayo that it’s reasonable compensation for losing Allan. My guess is that they will keep both picks and select Duursma and Sharpe.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Imagine we split our second pick for two picks in the teens and get Bulldogs pick 10 for Young.

Could end up with:-
3. Sharp
10. Lindsay
14. Grlj
16. Robey

I'm dreaming.

just say that order happens and RFC pick Sharpe. at 4

Who do West Coast pick?

they have a few holes but still, and how will that keep Reid happy? I know Reid is not everything but they would not want Reid bashing the door down to go beginning of next year, month after month

I assume part of the compo for pick 3 is Ports pick held by GC currently for CDT in this scenario

To me it is not obvious for West Coast with 5 and 6 and not sure to pick I can see them trading back again, seriously which makes it look ridiculous, but that is only optics

 

[tigs2010]

When does THE_GUN get back from pumping ladyboys? Need to know how tall Robey actually is.

Greeves probably in that situation if they need that specific role filled then they could go Lindsay for example

 

[Le RickyBobby]

Well I am glad you asked ... Alex Dodson who is a comparable talent and physique to CDT ... (actually I rate Dodson more highly) ... went to St. Kilda at pick 53 in last years draft ... Alex's bio is below to help you to compare the pair

Alex Dodson
State: South Australia
State League Club: Sturt
Community Club: Payneham
Date of Birth: 15/06/2006
Height: 201cm

A developing ruckman who is extremely athletic and competitive. His mobility is a great weapon in winning the ball around the ground, while his vertical leap and reach are both assets at stoppages. Missed the opening game of the National Championships due to basketball commitments after winning a gold medal playing basketball for Australia at the Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany. He then emerged as the number one ruckman in the Championships with his performances in three matches for South Australia, averaging 17.3 disposals, 3.0 marks, 3.7 clearances and 19.7 hitouts to earn All Australian honours. Played nine matches for Sturt in at under-18 level and was again dominant, averaging 21 disposals, four marks and 25 hitouts.

And to answer your question directly ... not one player in this years draft would have been taken in the first round if they were in last year's draft.

Actually North Melbourne probably didn't make a mistake trading us their first round pick ... I don't see a tall better than Whitlock in this draft, especially one that can play both ends.

You have completely lost the plot if you don't think Zeke and CDT would be first round draft picks last year.

Alex Dodson went pick 50 odd because he's a pure ruckman who offers nothing else. He can't go forward he's ineffective as transitional player. His skills are limited at best.

CDT has separated himself as a genuine pick 1 contender because he has the physical tools to play not just as a ruckman/mid but also as a KPF.

 

[Mr Magic]

Greeves probably in that situation if they need that specific role filled then they could go Lindsay for example

maybe but Greeves is not Sharpe, nor is Lindsay

I am not Victorian, never lived there. If West Coast did that I would see that as a big f.. up in general.

It is interesting, you come up with those names. I assume you are Victorian I live in NSW, not WA nor SA either, never been to SA yet, nor WA for that matter

not trying to put Greeves down but he does not have Sharpes CV, and does not appear as hard or aggressive, but that is just my perception. Sharpe has a different body to

 

[Karp3_dm]

Yeah have to ask for futures for Merrett

Should def trade, he 30 and doesn’t want to be there

But they won’t
