Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Super-mega-ultrathread

Over this talk of Scott Selwood for pick 2 bulldust .....twitter ? Where do they get their information from? Who is it? Honestly it's the biggest load of tripe ...Scott has two years to run on his current deal and we have had no indication from he or the club that he has any intention of leaving ! future captain of our club!! is it just because adam has retired that people think he cant be here on his own FFS!!!

FFS I hate this time of year...all it is is gossip, rumors and innuendo that have not a shred of truth to it

Leader yes, Captain no.

Kennedy should become our captain next season and beyond.

You got me. I'm terrible at reading things that aren't actually in existence. It's my secret shame.

1. You had it as a broken wrist, someone else said he fell through a glass table and severed a tendon, now it's a broken arm in a skating accident. In any case, how is it a red flag? Kids ride skateboards, and occasionally fall off.
2. Hangs out with a colts teammate, before said teammate was in any trouble.
3. One of our more knowledgable draft experts said fitness wasn't perceived to be an issue at the time.
4. We have no way of knowing how they went.
5. Where did you say that?

I thought flower eating was your secret shame?

And for four in a row as I was reading through the red flags and commenting as I go.

FiveStrings thread ban function is your best friend noob.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Has Masto been on a crusade against picking Darling as well. So many red flags there, would have preferred club never drafted!

Why did I just read those last three pages?

I'm never going to get that 15 minutes back!!

I do like the sound of Billings, but we'd surely have to be confident in his ability to play through the middle to select him.

he is very classy, has pace and can win his own ball. Think he is a gem.

Think the biggest question marks on him is his endurance.

Regarding J.Jansen do we think he would be available at our 3rd pick? Think he has more upside then Cripps.

You could fap 10 times in those lost minutes.

St Kilda would only consider the free agency move if the compensation it received was better then what it would land in a trade.

And hence the flaws of FA. IMO we should bin this compo and PP bullshit; no more compromised drafts

Well that depends, does it not? If they are unrestricted, they have little choice in the matter?

Well in this case Dal Santo has a trigger in his contract which St Kilda can relinquish if they believe they can manipulate the current compo system in their advantage.

The problem with this setup is that in certain situations teams will come off bandits when a player decides to leave, which would be fine if it didn't impact the other 17 (or 16 I guess) teams.

Example:
Team A has pick 5, Team B has pick 6 and Team C has pick 7.
Team A loses Player to Team F, Gets Rnd 1 compo.
Team A has pick 5 and 6. Picks John and Bob.
Team B now has pick pick 7 and picks Jerry, but is hugely disappointing because they really wanted Bob. But they didn't get Bob, because a player who had nothing at all to do with their club left with free agency and as a result compromised the entire draft.

It's a rotten system. How can a player movement between two clubs have an effect on the other 16 teams. That's not right.

Yeah I agree. Was more referring to a club dictating what they will receive. In the case of a 'trigger' I'm not sure what prevails, surely the AFL free agency rules would?

Compo should be something like a tradeable pick or 2 year salary cap increase based on value of player.

Reading up on Billings they say his weakness is that he might never be a full time mid..i tweeted samlandsbeger asking where he thought Sheed would go and said 5-10. Jack Billings does sound exciting but he sounds more like a forward than a full time mid which is what we need.

There's just no way they don't take him at pick 8 if bid before. There's a 2,000+ post thread on the Norf board titled Luke McDonald Future FS and Hall of Famer. The club have already incorporated him into their system, there's just too much riding on him not to pick him up. Even if they have him rated as the 10th best prospect it's much safer getting him at 8 then not.

 

[kane249]

Would be a massive PR failure as well for Norf if they don't pick him

Haven't you heard? Sheed has already been inducted into our hall of fame

Due diligence to make sure they are getting the best at that pick. They will take him at 8 but will obviously try for later.

Surely wce have to bid on him? Result:
1. We get him - IMO better than Sheed or Billings for what we need OR
2. We make sure Norf don't steal another gun (as well as him) before our 2nd pick

Several teams should be bidding on him. North won't let him slip away. He trains once a week with the team as it is.
