WHAT?
The problem is our pick 9 isn't pick 9 in actuality. It's probably pick 13.
And given the uncertainty around who is going where (and when bids come) I think it would be very surprising for a club to want to get into the swimming pool and take our pick for an F1 before the draft starts (well they can't anyway, but you know what I mean).
However, on the night, as the cards (and players) start falling then it's a different thing. If there's a kid available at our pick that another club likes, then the phone will ring. But it's too hard to foresee what that might look like at the moment.

But still means its the 9th 'available' player minus FS and NGA's.

clubs know that but they clearly dont think there are 9 really good prospects in this draft if they are ignoring those 4.
Voss wanted to use our first rounder last year to trade for Dan Houston which meant we wouldn't have been able to draft Jagga Smith

Best ranking yet. Some would argue Shubert higher but spot on.

Seems like the order which Eagles/Tigers bid on those players is key. Wonder what the consideration for clubs are with that decision. Is it as simple as "who do we hate the most"? In which case we are probably in trouble

Their fans wanted to lynch their list management team after the Pick 3 deal.
Really liking the “plays like” comparison.Best ranking yet. Some would argue Shubert higher but spot on.

Many on here wouldn’t know much about Will Graham, but he is a developing gun for the Suns. Only injury keeping him out of the team.
Yep - he'll do whatever Chris Scott & Steve Hocking tell him to do.

"There has been speculation West Coast will bid on Dean – the son of dual premiership Blue Peter Dean – as the club has interest in him. If that doesn’t happen, the Tigers will almost certainly attempt to select Dean, who’s widely regarded as the best key defender in this year’s draft."

I wouldn't because we'd end up stuck with McGuane on our list

Seems to be the view from Twomey too. Interesting because he only ranked him 9th, but seems certain on an early bid.
I guess its an easy way for opposition clubs to weaken others draft hand (and strengthen theirs), if they know the opposition matches.

That's not a bad spot to be stuck in in the grand scheme of things.

Pies interested in our pick 9 for Sharp, apologies if already posted.
Interesting.
The problem is that we would need to trade at the Dean bid, and it’s pretty unlikely that they’ll know if he’ll still be there by the time that pick comes round.
You’d think the Dons would take him.

The higher of our first rounders (at that point pick 12), the second of North's second rounders (at that point pick 24), our 2027 3rd rounder in return for their remaining top 40 picks (then 7 and 33) and their 2027 4th rounder. Richmond would presumably cop 24 because it'll quickly become 23.
My thinking was they might want to dodge Robey in case he doesn't pan out as a midfield prospect due to their existing forward group, and not enough faith in Cumming versus getting that second pick into a stronger range. CDT suits their list well, as does Sharp.
But clearly my scenario relies on Melbourne having enough interest in two of Marsh, Greeves or Farrow over Grlj. I certainly think the media are getting the run around with Greeves and Marsh in comparison to Schubert.
Gold Coast could still be a trade option for 11 too, as we can present a trade that offers them more points when they need it, while delivering more points to us later.
If we're buying into the media commentary right now, apparently Richmond is making 4 bids while selecting in the top 10, which is not a way to make friends.When clubs will launch bids — and young guns who could slip through — as wide ranges explained: Mega AFL draft mail

The Dean bid in particular is ridiculous. I honestly think West Coast are running the rule through him at pick 13 if he's still available, while Richmond are considering a bid on him after moving down for Grlj, so I think it highlights the lower band of his actual bid range.
