Analysis 2025 Draft watch

wouldn't the North deal for 11, be there 25 and 26, then there future 2nd. That seems to match points a little better

25, 46 + F2

 

[tarczonandjane]

Can we draft someone like Dovaston if the rumoured pick swaps occur?

I am probably joining two and two and making five. But my guess is that we are either: a) hoping Pickett slips, as C4 suggests; or b) using a later pick on the Geelong VFL small forward with whom we have been linked

 

[josephone]

So it seems what it boils down to is this:

No trade- Dean, Ison and a third player (roughly pick 17-25).

Trade - Dean, Ison, a third player (pick 23-28) and North’s F2.

Sure. Especially if you are of the view that outside the top dozen it’s a pretty even draft, and next year is much stronger.

If an F1 wasn’t on the table then North’s F2 is close to the next best thing.

25, 46 + F2

I am sorry for losing the thread on this one, C4. But do we currently have a 2026 2nd round pick?

 

[marcmurphy3]

25, 46 + F2

Im ok with that. 46 comes in a fair bit. I just hope we dont give the Dons all our late picks back and end up stretched for Ison anyway.

We dont

Nope - traded for Ainsworth

 

[Opium]

No denying they look good, but also feel we are paying a premium which is not ideal and restricting us from bringing in more quality young talent.
Interestingly Gold Coast has two top 10 players to bring in and look likely to obtain them, they look like they managed their draft hand better than us we gave away too many picks in the middle end of the draft which has restricted us.

This hits the nail on the head. Great analysis.

We used that on Ainsworth. Not sure why tbh. We should've kept will White and saved that pick and the extra 400k in salary.

Sometimes I wonder if you say things just to see how many jimmies you can rustle.

 

[skadoosh]

Are our chances of drafting Lindsay pretty much 0 now?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Are our chances of drafting Lindsay pretty much 0 now?

I’d say so, which also means we can now freely compare and liken him to Viojo-Rainbow without any fear.

 

[Stamos]

So so are likely heading into the draft with 21, 25, 27, 30, 46

Potential to walk away with Dean, Ison, F2 .. and potentially Pickett/Ludowyke (both I think will slide to the mid-late 20s.).

Not behd.

Not sure we’ll be getting that extra player in the 20s

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Explain!

 

[Stamos]

Explain!

Think there’s a good chance that the Ison bid comes in the early 20s.

And also a good chance we’re planning to keep 2 spots open for SSP.

 

[JJBagger]

Yes. But could easily have been off the board before our pick comes in anyway

Per Twomey’s report, Essendon is the “frontrunner” to land the ninth overall selection in a deal that would see it send its late first-rounder (no.21) and early second-rounder (no.27) to the Blues.

According to Fox Sports

Just 21 and 27 for 9? Surely there's 30 involved.

You think 43 gets shipped out in the * deal?

Im not sure, but they’d need something for Sweid.

Nope. **** that, minimum has to have 30 coming to us as well. They might get 54 back from us.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Yep. They can have a deficit.

Hmmmm I have no idea how it would work without 30

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Yup, if * are trading up to 9 they need to pay the premium

 

[carlton_99]

Hmmmm I have no idea how it would work without 30

Yeh I thought 21, 27, 30 for 9 and 43. 54 would be great for us instead of the 43 but both picks will come in you'd think. Either way needs to be a point surplus for us.
