List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[GROTTO]

why couldnt the draft be oct 27th... Nov 27th! thats like 5 weeks away :/
Pick 14- Outside mid with superior pace
Pick 35- Defender/Mid
pick 43-Tall defender
pick 59- Project Ruckman

Im confident of us hitting 2000 pages by then.

Jeez, a 'hack'? Really?

 

[Amacca 23]

Loved the way Nobes dismissed the "crows are/were chasing *whoever*" Watts, Trengove et al - disappointing I know, for all the nobody-wants-to-come-to-the-crows sad sacs.

dont you know we have a 30 million salary cap just ask the spuds

 

[Kenneth Tron]

CEY should be in trouble, walsh has already stated he wants players with good disposal.

Was thinking at 189cm couldn't CEY also play back if we find ourselves short back there ? Given he's athletic & pretty hard at it. Maybe i'm smokin.

 

[Mattrox]

Nobes needs to keep looking back to see if there's smoke billowing out of his ass. What a hack.

Now you are actually trolling.

 

[Bicks]

It does make sense, not saying it was the right move, but they can reasonably justify the decision. Gets the team back into the 2nd round, which will be good. It could be a great move if they get someone really good at 35, it could suck if someone really good goes at 10. Will have to wait and see.

Could it be Goddard at 14 with a fall back position of Oscar McDonald with our 2nd if we miss out on Goddard. I do not want Caleb Marchbank.

Time will tell how much talent was in those 4 draft positions and what we ended up with. So this trade will be judged pretty much on who geelong, west coast, richmond and freo pick.

You just know that the kid Geelong pick up at 10 will most likely win a Brownlow and captain the club.

 

[MRB37]

Jeez, a 'hack'? Really?

Yes, a mighty hack who's one of the few Crows admin people that have been headhunted by other teams every year for the past 2-3 seasons.

 

[mickfaxis]

Ok im calling it now... Lowden to get number 15 and Cheney to get number 35. Matt Crouch to lose the number 44 and be given the number 8

Who gets 23?

 

[Amacca 23]

Now you are actually trolling.

nah he is trying to look for spuds i think

 

[NikkiNoo]

Who gets 23?

That's up to Macca

Another trade season down and I am delighted with the results. We have always been good at trading and recruiting and this year looks pretty good as well. We obviously have someone specific in mind at the draft that will be there at 14 so it's worth upgrading our second rounder and we get 2 depth players in areas of need for nothing. Best of all though is that no one wanted to leave and although that has never been too big an issue for us this year had me worried as every other club seemed to get stung. Obviously got a good culture amongst the playing group and now maybe with a bit better strategy in the coaches box we will see this list were it should be, top 4.

 

[GetInMyVanBerlo]

Who gets 23?

Charlie?

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Go and read the report cards given to us.

I seem to recall Brisbane getting glowing endorsement a few years ago on their trading and then everything fell to poo. Can only be assessed after 12 months.

 

[Niximus]

Geeze, I know it is good to have varied opinions on here, but some of the Debbie Downers have just gotten so ridiculous, they've become parodies of themselves and it'd be great if we could vote them off the island.

Seriously, they've gone beyond glass half empty, right to glass has holes in the bottom. No matter what you put into it, their glass will always be empty.

 

[AFC3000]

I notice they came out angry at the start of the show, get the listeners fired up then ask all the tough questions as "the 19th man want answers". If you've got a question/problem just come out and ask it, don't hide behind the supporters.

No, they are Lindys.

 

[mulz]

So we have gained 2 spuds and weakened our draft positions.

Keep up the good work david

 

[mickfaxis]

No matter who the Club gets at 14. The stock standard response will be, we got what we wanted.

And the rookie draft - "We couldn't believe they didn't go in the national draft. We had them in the top 30."

The swapping of draft picks is baffling. Just absolutely baffling. It defies common sense. Teams are trading away valuable commodities to get the best picks. And we are deliberately giving away 4 spots at the best end of the draft to gain 12 spots at the lottery part of the draft.

This is turning into some Oakland Raiders type shit.

 

[mickfaxis]

Because they think they can get their man at 14 and gain a 2nd rounder to make up for the one we sent to Hawthorn for Cheney and Lowden.

Clearly Durdin is out of the picture at 14.

 

[DroppingTheBall]

That's up to Macca

I wonder if CC wants to approach him for it?

 

[MRB37]

Playing in an array of positions, Duggan offers get-up-and-go from half back, is particularly dangerous around the stoppages and loves to run and carry with his line-breaking speed. The talented left footer has also shown he’s dangerous and effective around goal, kicking three final-quarter goals against the Northern Knights earlier in the year off just four disposals in a come-from-behind win

Hmm, speedy left footer? Could play down back to replace Smith or go in the midfield himself?

"Sack Nobes" - whose with me?
