List Mgmt. Do we go all in for Jack?

[LiamPickering]

I agree.

No one holding top 5 picks are there to assist with the easy passage of either Luko or Rankine to us, as nice a story as it may be.
If we go down that path I wouldn't expect any favours in the deals

Except the dogs need picks in our range for Rhylee West. Pick 5 isn't useful to them unless they trade a quality player.

 

[Morning_Fog]

yeah, its not 'fair' but a fair deal wont get made for a top 5 pick, particularly in this draft. You will have to offer sweetheart deals to prise those picks out of clubs hands

Possibly but if after the player interview phase, clubs could get a whiff of a player X, Y or Z being a flight risk, they could trade to save them the hassle.

Trade down for a local product and save 2 years of development.

 

[Morning_Fog]

pick 5 for 13, 19 and McGovern.

Is this a win win?

If you added a 2019 first round pick, this could help sweaten the deal but original offer would not likely to happen.

 

[Cap]

I think the joker is GC.

They will be after players, they have enough kids and the AFL will want them competitive next year.

 

[Bonkers000]

I believe clubs can go into point deficit the following year if they are desperate enough to get their player. They don’t really need us.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

if Gov does want out, I think that will give us enough currency to land 2 high picks this year.

Lots of different options but makes our tradeable pieces Gov + 3x>20 2018 and 1 2019 first rounder.

If that strange DMack story is true, he’s probably steak knives in one of those deals.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

pick 5 for 13, 19 and McGovern.

Is this a win win?

Your lack of teeth has affected your brain.

 

[TexForPM]

what does the NGA actually net us?

eg if Rankine and Lukosious are NGA dont they just go ND?

 

[Betts are off]

I agree.

The thing we need to remember is the other 17 teams will want things too that will leave them vulnerable. The opportunities will open up, they always do!

 

[Betts are off]

No need to be like that mate. He's just asking a question!

 

[fabs33]

Seems like the reports of our interest in pick one have made every joker think we're willing to pay a king's ransom for a half decent top ten pick.

Just because we may be interested in securing some talent from SA doesn't mean we're desperate enough to hand over all our picks and contracted players.

 

[1990crow]

That’s weird, DMac is leading our best and fairest this year after no top 10 finishes in his career?

AFC: “..... it’s all true your honour”.

AFL: “seems legit... here’s and end of first rounder.”

 

[Crowstar]

I can’t help thinking Gov for Freos 1st let’s say 6 then we bundle that with 13 or 9 for 1.
We take Luko with 1 and Freo offer J Gov godfather deal. They end up with both Govs, we get a like for like and keep 1 first rounder for best available.
Can’t see us getting Rankine unless we keep 9 or whatever our equivalent first is.

 

[Thetrader15]

pick 5 for 13, 19 and McGovern.

Throw in Bont as the steak knives and you have a deal

6 + 13 for pick 1 is around the mark..maybe include a player like kelly to let carlton have 'the win'. If we keep pick 8 and 19 we might be able to trade them up with st kilda so we have a pick high enough to guarantee rankine. We can then use pick 37 and later picks so for some hamish specials. That would be a big big draft for us...chances of all that playing out????

 

[Mismatched]

Saw Jack play yesterday, predominantly played on the wing. Barely saw it there though, 6 touches for the day I think, certainly looked more dangerous when moved forward late. Took 1 or 2 nice marks across the day, but a couple of special, Walker style 50+ meter passes that we’re simply sublime.

 

[Sidthehat]

No2 in draft looks very fluid now. Suns have a chance of winning two more. Cant see us getting deal with blues so best hope is they take walsh and deal for next pick.

Who out of Suns, Lions, Saints, Bulldogs would we be best dealing with?

I think there is a fair bit of risk involved with Luko. He is not a dead certainty to be a gun. I think there is a huge chance he wont be taken at pick 1 by Carlton.

Rule out the Bulldogs. They will want to get a pick in before West is bid on.
Saints will likely take a good deal as they only have 1 pick inside 50+.
Freo are even worse as they only have 1 pick inside 75+.
I think Lions will go to the draft.
Who could possibly explain what the Suns strategy will be. They are absolutely chocked full of picks though. They dont need to trade down for more picks, but thats not to say that they wont do this in order to trade those for players. Again, would love to know what their strategy is.

I'd be very surprised if Carlton don't. The way Luko has been billed up has made him as much of an automatic no.1 selection as anyone could be.

After all, you simply don't turn down a potential once in a generation key forward. Even if you need midfielders.

I wouldn't be surprised to see what would be a shock selection to most people. It wouldn't surprise me at all. I see less risk in Walsh and I wonder whether Carlton will be wanting to put something in the bank.
