Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben

[King Corey]

Maybe. I suspect that plan A was to try and use our 2nd round currency to trade up but when that didn't eventuate this was a canny pivot.

And so we should have. It was daylight robbery.

You'd hope so. I'm on sthe side of use them in the draft (as picks or as currency to take advantage of NGA bids) rather than burning a hole in our pocket to spend on trades for B-graders. But half our list is currently set to come out of contract so there's a lot to play out regarding development, list spots, etc.

Must have been. Didn't work out.

Sometimes thoughts are more than thoughts..

Not sure about that. What I do recall, is that we traded a pick to Essendon on the night, which they used to draft a tall forward, while we got their 2020 second rounder. We then drafted Comben with our next pick IIRC. Will be interesting to compare his career with the kid Essendon drafted.

They also gave us 35 and we gave them 50 which we weren't using.

Yeah, we basically allowed them to take Harrison Jones, and took Comben a few picks later, having moved just a few picks down the order, plus the 2020 second rounder. If Comben makes it, and if you use this year's pick wisely, huge win for the club.

Could we see him rd one?

If Brown doesn't make it, we definitely need another tall up there. It's either him, or one of Durdin/McKay/Daw...

Dunno, could we?

lol we might not have any other options. As it stands currently a fwd line of Garner, Wood, TT , Zurhaar, Larkey & Mahony doesn't fill me with confidence. Wonder if Comben plays Monday, will be interesting.

Ziebell's been named at CHF.

I could see them going that route.

Yeah I reckon you're probably right and Taylor will play as well. Gees I just hope that Garner & Wood don't get a game. Not worthy on current output.

I see. Glad I agree with it all then.

The fact Homer's neighbour went so late to McSuns may have thrown us.

That's interesting. I'm trying to remember who I thought might have been candidate sellers around the back of the 1st round, and I think GC was one of them. Are you speculating that Neddy's unexpected availability might have dissuaded the McSuns from trading that pick away?

Some thoughts..

We had been planning swaps with Dodo prior who then got cute on the night before eventually dealing after we acknowledged we didn't want his target.

The dees offer was presented to us and we bit their hand off to accept it.

We don't have a firm plan for what to do with 2020 picks yet but are open to several courses of action.

The big boy who went to Cola was of interest to us.

The fact Homer's neighbour went so late to McSuns may have thrown us.

So the thoughts arenecessarily those of the author....

Dodo being a dick.....There's a surprise...

So we were expecting young Ned to have gone before our first. Given he was still there, did we have a little remorse?

Four time All Australian Jeremy McGovern who won his team a Grand Final attacking the contest and leaping at the mark.

Precisely. That's the last thing we need.

Not much chatter on the * board on Harrison Jones' thread.

Picture a world in 8 years time where Comben is absolutely tearing it up and our 2nd round selection from the 2020 draft is a perennial AA member considered in the top half dozen players in the competition. All courtesy of the *. Ah to daydream.

What's a Tom Hird? Sounds like a venereal disease.

No it doesn't.

Nah - I would go Xerri - he has looked far more likely to 'do something' this pre season.

Not sure Ned Flanders really slid though, as the top ten were all expected to go then.

I don't usually complain about this sort of stuff too much but could they not have told us about this injury when it occurred three months ago?

No thanks.

Does it really matter?

No games for almost all that time.
