List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[TrainRoo32]

I reckon that BFs criticism has gotten to them.... Noble had to make a decision

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

People not looking at it very well here. We will have ~5 picks in the draft. Better for them all to be on the whole further up the draft...part of that meant downgrading our 2nd rounder. We'll have a top line pick then a lot of mid range picks...much better than being forced to draft more spuds to cover all the delistings we have to make.

Further to this - Crows never liked pick 10. Believe they wanted a high pick as there was a player we were keen on, but gave up on him being available with GWS also keen on him, so have now downgraded as they don't see much difference...in order to upgrade their 2nd.

 

[ams4crows]

Now 10 is gone? Wtf?

 

[Tex200]

So 10 becomes 14 and 31 becomes 35.

Is this factored into the cost of the box hill boys

 

[Mike Smyth]

Two players from the premiership club wanted to come to the AFC. I feel warm inside now. Getting Lowden who I've never heard of makes up for the other guys I've never heard of spurning our club. (Even if we did not want them)

All the clubs to choose from and they chose the AFC. Jesus Christ.

 

[xchadders]

we got back in the second round by downgrading our first round....
so we downgraded pick 10 to 14 simply because we gave up 31 for cheney and lowden?

queue the rabble comments....

 

[noddy]

Don't mind Cheney he had some tough jobs this year against bigger opponents & done ok, seems committed & focused.

Know next to nothing about Lowden only what i read on here but surely we couldn't do an Angus so soon after the last one.

 

[NikkiNoo]

we actually gave up pick 10 to geelong............ what the freaking hell did we do that for????

So we could get a second round pick as well. We gave up our first and third for a first and second round and still have two third round picks.

 

[spexau]

Pretty tidy trades imo

 

[Red mist]

Still in the second round. Nice.

 

[Archie87]

Cheney has got to be an upgrade on Reilly at least!

 

[Mike Smyth]

We were always going to have to give up something for a ruckman and a KPD.

We addressed a couple of needs with pick 31 I think its worth a roll of the dice.

Plus they are youngish too.

Cheney - kpd - 187 cms.

I like what the club has done very shrewed trading indeed

 

[DroppingTheBall]

gave up pick 31? damn it. stupid.

Well, let's see who goes for 31, and who we get for 43.

Some talk we may miss Durdin now we have 14 and not 10. Did we even want him?

 

[AFC3000]

I guess better that we have a bit of the Hawks depth rather than our own...

 

[Firewalker]

Oh what the hell, we waited 10 days for that, should of just bent over and got it over with on the first day

 

[NikkiNoo]

 

[GROTTO]

Hawks board not happy losing those players.

I'm feeling a bit happier now. If they were happy with the trade then it would be a concern of the quality we drafted.

 

[matty p]

Would've rather us kept pick 31 than had to trade 10 for 14 so that we could get pick 35. A lot easier to find a gun at 10 than 14 even if we don't rate the draft.

In Nobes we trust.

Further to this again...think we have picks 14, 35, 43, 50, 59 now. We will draft 5 players (so we needed 5 reasonable picks), 2 rookie upgrades to cover the large list turnover...had to be done!

 

[adelcrows]

Well, let's see who goes for 31, and who we get for 43.

We upgraded to 35.. More see who goes at 10.

 

[M Roachy Journo]

We gave Geelong our pick 10 and pick 47.
We get pick 14 and pick 35.
We obviously believed we will get our first pick target with 14 and took the opportunity to upgrade our next pick by 12 spots. Bold move, fingers crossed it pays off.

Bring on the draft.....
