I think we’re being legit and in the process sending a warning message
There’s plenty of good players we’d be able to get at ~43 if we pass on Fincher - some arguably with more upside or suitability to our list ie. Sam Allen

I think it's as straight bat as it comes. Our position and thoughts on this years draft have been pretty transparent.
A fair few clubs would be cranky after our off season so it a) is just a statement that if you are going to bid best be prepared for it to not be matched if it doesn't suit us regardless of perceived external pressure ( e.g Aleer ) b) Being upfront and honest in setting Fincher' expectations of what we can and will do.
I have faith in The Rymple regardless of whether we manage to pick up Fincher or not.

Jevan not in the top 30
Says we are taking Byrnes in the ND.

Peucker would be a good pick - SA’s best pressure small forward and has tricks. Good long-term Butler replacement imo
Will be an immediate fan favourite if he lands at Moorabbin - I can already imagine the track watchers frothing over his energy and enthusiasm

If he slides to 30, what would it take to trade back in? Assume a 2027 2nd rounder and maybe something more?
He doesn’t look the quickest. But does have a bit of a midfielder look about him if he develops the tank.

The other noteworthy element was that Said has been delisted and will be rookied.
Lenny was generally touted as a rookie pick but obviously the cats saw a bit more in him. We of course took Harry Boyd for 'needs', but at p60 we also took Pat Said over Lenny by choice so it's on Dalrymple if things don't pan out.
pretty poor from the club imo, regarding treatment of Said. Worse then Aleer imo.
I don't think it needs to be said and it's just part of the media circus. I still haven't seen convincing evidence that we'll lose 1stRD points but if it is the case then probably no club would sacrifice them for a player like Fincher.

I actually heard he wasn't busting a gut to come to us. Might be a bit of indifference going both ways
More likely he can't invest given the circumstances and he'd be last in line of a young group.

The media have suggested we are keen on goal kicking small forwards/mids in Jevan Phillipou and Zane Peucker. Both are very similiar to each other with that lower core strength and are good in traffic ala Max Hall. Its pretty obvious the attributes Dalrymple rates in small forwards.
Twomey indicated that the Dogs are also interested in Peucker, so he may be taken a lot earlier than we have access. I did read on the main board (WCE supporter) that we have spoken to them about a trade for their pick #13. Twomey also suggested that GCS may be open to trading late first round picks.

God damn that's a terrible looking first round. Gives me huge 2012 vibes (that's the year we got Lee, right?)
Imagine being Essendon and taking 3 tops ten picks to the draft only to end up with Taylor, Sharp, and Dovaston. Not saying that they can't be good, but my lord can you think of three less exciting top 10 picks? Probably Reid, Cox and Perkins lol.
Imagine being North and picking up Latrel Pickett with another top ten picks! Like, come on now.
Happy we traded our for Flanders! There's isn't a non-academy or f/s player projected to be drafted accept maaaaaybe Duursma, CDT and Robey that I'd prefer over Neddy boy.

So with Said being delisted we will have three picks plus the Caminiti upgrade.
Sounds like Byrnes is getting redrafted in the National Draft.
You know the draft is god awful when that's occurring.

based on Cal's phantom, I think our picks should come into roughly 39, 46 & 54
prior to pick 50:
10 picks added - Uwland, Patterson, Murray (GC), Dean, Ison (Car), Annable (Bris), Kyle, Carmichael (Syd), Williams (WC), Sweid (Ess)
21 picks removed - GC x8, Car x5, Bris x3, Sydney x3, WC x2
plenty of variables. not sure how Essendon match Sweid or what Sydney will do if a bid also comes for King. also who knows whether McCarthy attracts a bid for Pies. and whether those clubs matching will require all their picks to do so
Greeves, Ludowyke, King, NHH, Phillipou, Byrne feels like the next "tier" of the draft after Cal's 30. To be able to pick one of them before a Fincher bid would be ideal
maybe we target Sydney's pick 42 (which will be ~36) + 5th rounder for our first two picks, which will help them a bit with points and get us into the frame for those players above. not beyond the realms of possibility that we get Phillipou and Fincher without having to dip into futures at all
LeRay, Wright, Rodriguez, Oudshorn-Bennier, McCarthy, Onley, Swadling, Allen are also around this mark, I've probably missed some others too. plenty of options even if we hold our picks. what the draft lacks at the top end, it will make up for in the 30s IMO

National draftees from pick 21 onwards get a minimum 2 year contract
So how can Said have been delisted when he was drafted last year?

You can be delisted under contract. Means it remains in your cap irrespective of the player is on a list.

Just an awful draft. Maybe it plays out better than that, but it’s hard to be enthusiastic about much of the first round.

I can't remember a worst draft
A trade would make sense to delist both Byrnes and said and relist them.
39,46 and 54 are worth pick 31
Maybe as part of the Flanders trade GC agreed to a trade in draft, that would offer them points for the academy kids. Probably unlikely this trade would only suit a club that is expecting a late bid.
Or maybe we are Prepared to match for fincher at pick 30.
