How is it that when Daicos and the Ashcrofts are pretty much consenus number 1 picks they are allowed to slide 4, 2 & 5 but when we finally get a decent father son most people have rated at about 10 we cop a bid at 3?!!
Are the Eagles that upset we gave them Owies?

Well, chances are they will next year too...
At least Walker is a top 3... Dean isn't... no matter how high some on here want to rate him, he just isn't top 3 this year.

Most draft watchers have Dean at 10, the Eagles bidding on him at 3 doesn't suddenly change that. They could bid on Ison at 1 - it wouldn't make him the best player in the draftOnly on BF could this mean a bad thing
I’m personally stoked about it. Makes it very likely now that we have 3 straight years of a top 3 draft pick without completely bottoming out.
It sucks but not totally unexpected.
The thing I'm actually more concerned about is Ison getting a ridiculous early bid. Dean at #3 still gives us a mid 20's pick in return after the reported trades with North/Ess. I'm hoping we get to use that pick before the Ison bid.

....you trade them one Matt Owies and they go and do this ??????
Welcome to the new bidding system. Just as predicted, all father sons linked in the first round now will be bid on early to make clubs overpay.
I wouldn't be holding onto that hope too tightly if I were you.

No...it means that someone who gets paid a lot of money to assess talent and devise list strategy, who watches every player not just those whose names they know, and who gets to interview the actual player himself has him at or around 3...probably means a little more than "track watchers" on social media.
They're not going to bid on him at 3 unless they're prepared to walk away with him at that pick. They likely know they won't, but this draft is a crapshoot and he's as good a prospect as any other - particularly if clubs are looking for high floor types who are a very good chance to walk into their established position and play 200+ games.
l believe the West Coast strategy is directed at Carlton trading 9 to Essendon, they know Essendon are super keen to get CDT, Essendon then give West Coast 5 & 6 and 9 for 2 with something coming back, believe it is more about strategy improving their draft hand having more picks inside 10.
Don't bid on Dean and get him in 2 years' time when Harley Reid walks out on them as well. Dont do the trade with Essendon and keep pick 9.

Going through all the emotions.
- Academy players have ruined any equalisation and the draft as a whole.
- The draft to me is now boring and commercialised.
- Dean and walker, have cost us Curnow, De Koning, Silvagni + our F1.

Not all opinions are equal, I don't pay much attention to rankings that come from the media or bigfooty, these people are consuming a fraction of the football that the recruiters are, hence why you see awful takes like Casey Voss at 15 (RIP Knightmare). I take the fact that WCE, Richmond and Essendon are all willing to bid on Dean with early picks, as validation that he is a bonafide top 5 talent. Historically, clubs have allowed NGA/Father-Son prospects to slide and I don't see much reason for that to change this year. What sounds more likely to you, Dean is rated highly at clubland or this is all a conspiracy to screw over Carlton? I'm not thrilled that a bid looks likely to come at 3, because I have him at 4 or 5 and I think this is slight overs, but I just don't see how anyone could have him outside their top 10 or top 15.
Except for a player they rate at 3 if we don’t match.

Contracts are for 3 years now. We won't be doing that. And moving 9 for more points is a good deal for us especially with a bid coming so early

I know it's a business of winning games blah blah... but this is poop. WCE know they won't get him and know we have committed to take him the whole 'keep them honest' rhetoric is BS.. Ugh.
this system is rubbish. the fact that we have to give up so much for our FS and Academy kids is crazy.
I take it that Carlton has intel or effectively been told that Eagles or Tigers will be bidding on Dean
no way Carlton would trade out 9 and 11 if they haven't been told
what is the points total (incl picks) to match a pick 3 ?
