List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[Tex200]

I guess it's worrying that he'll jump ship first chance he gets.

He's had a couple of interviews, he makes mention of Port because of the family connection, but he's also been very clear on being excited just to be able to get an opportunity and will go anywhere.

He's from Darwin so anywhere is a big move - the Port thing has been a bit overplayed IMO. He hasn't given the Whinegard spoilt brat image at all

I have never understood the fascination with with wanting to draft players based on what impact they will have in their first year.

Who would you rather have? Rhys Palmer, who won the rising star in his first year, or Danger who took a couple of years to get going?

Drafting should be about what's best for you in three to five years time, not the next season.

Danger played in his first year. I would like that option in pick 14. Drafting should not necessarily be for three or four yrs time only. Think Ollie Wines or Jeager O'Meara. I'm not asking for a rising star but if you can get some games out of a first year draftee there shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

Another story on Wright slipping out of the Top 10 and into the reach of the Crows at 14. If they're going a best available strategy then they can't pass him up?

I am not saying that you shouldn't expect to get games from them in the first year. What I am saying is you pick the player you think is going to be the better player in that three to five year period.

Not based on what I output they will give you on their first year

Understood, but output in a first year is helping build that development that you will have.

"I'd love to end up at Port, but really, I'll just be happy playing AFL with any Club who gives me a chance."

A subtle tamper ?

i wonder why he is sliding... honestly i'd pass on him, purely because we have more pressing needs with pick 14.

Who outside of Tex and JJ do we have as KPF's?

A subtle tamper is probably to try and drop from the guy who's picking at 12 to the guy who's picking at 14, not to try and drop all the way to 50 odd. BTW, when was that interview done? Maybe it was back when Port had pick #17 or whatever.

 

[Matman23]

Exactly a young developing ruck/forward fits our needs. The only thing we don't need is inside mids.

Exactly. I don't think recruiters will let him drop that far.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

if Lever or Wright slipped to us at 14

I would get Lever fills more of a need imo

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Lever will slide! people will not risk a high pick with a kid who has done his ACL.

Personally when you have done your ACL. After surgery and months of rehab you feel your knee getting alot stronger and stable. It shouldn't be a huge issue for Lever.

Lowden

Lowden

If that's it then picking a top shelf ruck/forward wouldn't go completely against our needs.

If we go tall first round it will have to be a defender based on need.

I think we'll go best available

 

[Red mist]

I think we'll go best available

Well I hope we go outside mid with speed!!!! I'm looking at every option and like that the most. We just have to wait and see.

 

[Mattrox]

I think we'll go best available

Best available from outside speedster, KPD, KPF, Ruck/Fwd.

I doubt we'd pick an inside mid unless so far above those we already have, but those will be gone by 14.

 

[Elite Crow]

I think we'll go best available

We can't have as we went from 10 to 14 stating we would get the player we wanted

 

[Red mist]

I just think our engine room which is critical broke down so many times when there was no outside movement. We are good at the ruck stoppage and getting the ball but that third possession to the outside was a fizzer. Look at our game against west coast. Absolutely critical we improve in that area. We become more cohesive in the middle, improve our both ways running and the defence will have an easier Time and our offence will get the ball delivered better.

 

[dogs105]

We can't have as we went from 10 to 14 stating we would get the player we wanted

Maybe the best available at 10 is sure to be there at 14 (according to our recruiters). I recall we ranked Dangerfield second in his year

But it doesn't if we get a top 10 pick slide

 

[Matman23]

I can't believe people think that players we draft this year will fix our need next season.
