List Mgmt. AFC - 2014 Drafting and Trading

[DroppingTheBall]

Well imagine how our 2015 games are going to go to in the last seconds next season with what just happened... I hope you all have life insurance.

Yeah, I'm predicting a few after-the-siren wins. It's our new style!

 

[ams4crows]

Two trades in the last second ffs........ cutting it fine

 

[kirky]

What the heck have the most of you turned into - McDermott clones.

Glass half full not half empty.

Going from 10 to 14 is no big deal, we now have a second round pick plus we have for coverage for two of our three deficiencies. What the hell is wrong with that?

 

[Tex200]

Ok Ive had time to make up a story re Cheney.

Walsh came in, looked at our defence and said " so who's your Jonas?" (188cm) and we said "don't really have one" - so he said " get me a Jonas"

Then we got Cheney (187cm)

That's my story and its the only way I get to sleep

 

[1990crow]

Surely we didn't need to throw in pick 47.

 

[Archie87]

They must be confident in getting a similar quality player at 14 compared to 10... given the apparent evenness of this draft after the first half dozen they're probably right. I like the sound of Weller... hope he's still there at 14!

 

[adelcrows]

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!

But haven't we delisted 4 and 2 retirees, we bring in 2, that leaves 4 spots unless we decide to delist more, is that what you are alluding to? Otherwise I can only see us using 3 and upgrading Charlie alone, no others.. Which means either way the 59 was not ever going to be used, for us to use them all AND upgrade 2 rookies means we have another 3 delistings to do, surely not, maybe 1 or 2 at most.. Cannot see us using 59

You think Kelly will get upgraded?

 

[happy_knackers]

in summary:

1st round downgraded 4 spots (10-14)
2nd round downgraded 4 spots (31-35)
3rd round upgraded 7 spots (50-43)
4th round upgraded 9 spots (68-59)
added Cheney
added Lowden

 

[AndrewJo]

We just pissed 31 up against the wall to help the 2's??????
And of course its gift wrapped with a pretty bow to Hawthorn. FFS!!!!!

Not much difference between 31 and 34 that we got from Geelong. Obviously going from pick 10 to 14 suggests that the player earmarked at the first pick will still be there at 14.Wonder who that is??

 

[Mike Smyth]

Fantastic work by Adelaide.. Held our nerve...

BS we did. The fact that we gave up pick 31 at the 11th hour for 2 guys who aren't in hawthorns first choice 26 would mean hawthirn held fast and we caved in.

So does that mean we probably won't be doing any more list changes?

So the likes of Martin and L.Thompson are likely to remain on the list for 2015? Guess we could obviously delist one for a PSD pick but we're pretty set with the current list?

P'work lodged: Hawthorn exchange L Lowden K Cheney, R3 (curr43) R3 (curr47) R3 (curr59) to Adel for R2 (curr 31), R3 (curr 50), R4(curr68).

#Roothless!

 

[Dandy_GO]

So what's the wash up?

Cheney
Lowden
Pick 14
Pick 35
Pick 43
Pick 59

Happy to back the club in on this. Cheney and Lowden are both depth where we seriously need it. Lost 4 spots each in the first and second round, which is unlikely to be a big deal, given that it's supposedly pretty even outside the top 5. If we have a fair idea of who wants what, and expect who we want to last to our picks, we've addressed a need at zero cost. Plus an upgrade in the third round!

Good trading.

I really want to be critical, because it's so much less exciting than some of the rumours, but it's good trading.

Edit: fixed errors

Still need to delist another 1 or 2 to fit them in

 

[DroppingTheBall]

Younie will be happy.

So will you if Sauce gets 4 weeks for squashing a rover.

We don't have 50 - went to Hawks.

Right now, we have 4 list vacancies. 14, 35, 43, 59 (Cameron)

If we delist more, then the upgrade moves out (86 or 104)

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Cannot see us using 59

I would say there will be more list chops!

 

[Mad Dog]

I like it Cheney will play and be good while Lowden has ability and gives us a backup ruck.

Downgrade of 31 but upgrading the later picks nice move.

Exactly.... essentially we've pick up Lowden and Cheney for the gap between 10 and 14 when you net things out...... the difference between the later picks is marginal. Not great.... solid....... but by no means a bad result as some are claiming.
I'm pretty happy with Ryan O'Keefe getting on board just quietly ...

Think its a smart move with the eveness in the draft this year

 

[Mike Smyth]

I didn't think we would ever be capable of the Geelong exchange of picks. That's extroadinary.

 

[Don Muraco]

Thank god that's

over...

With all due respect I don't think you have any idea whatsoever..

 

[whattagun07]

So to simplify it

10 becomes 14
31 becomes 35
50 becomes 43
68 becomes 59

Plus Lowden and Cheney

Bout even I think.

We must be confident our preferred 10 will be around at 14
