Strategy Draft assistance 2023 [Twomey: NMFC get #19 in 2023, x2 end of 1st rd picks in 2024, and x2 extra rookie list spots in 2024; no Sanders/#11]

[DarkPhoenix]

Would love the club to come out and say something like:

"We specifically requested end of first round picks to try and limit the impact on the top end of the draft that certain other clubs have made with their previous priority picks"

 

[New_Roo]

Those future "firsts" shouldn't go anywhere near trades for Stephens and Fisher

We already have a couple of 3rds for stephens and fisher.... we have to be a little more ruthless as clubs know we have lots of picks so will try more than normal to suck a few of these out of us.... psd is never used but needs to be constant threat, obviously won't work with fisher

Not the worst result for us and I certainly didn't expect any more,now it's up to the club to get the next couple of drafts right

 

[The Lone Latic]

Kayne ******* Turner...

I mean we gave him life membership. What's another year on the list going to do apart from.pad his super contributions?

 

[kool kangas]

He's NGA eligible in the same way Mac Andrew was. If we want him we'll have to pick him ourselves.

So we really need to get the hawks 1st round pick to make sure we get him if we want him...

 

[Moti]

So we really need to get the hawks 1st round pick to make sure we get him if we want him...

We don't need him.

 

[Jimmac31]

Hows your brain size mate. It says end of first round

Depends If it's really worth it for us, I'd rather we just use all the picks we have as is. We just need to keep bringing in good players.

I was just making a quip mate, that end of first round or start of second round are both Pick 19. My brain size is fine.

 

[justroyal]

I reckon the melts *wouldn’t have been as bad if we got pick 11

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Always players not picks. The points system doesn’t matter to clubs when it gets to draft night… however would be slight overs. I would pay that for Reid. Not sure Viney would, also not sure Eagles would accept still

Of course you are right, the points are meaningless unless you need them to match bids, but they are indicative of value to some extent. The Eagles claim to be looking for something special to give up Reid. I'd say trading him for Curtin and twoend of first round picks would count as something special.

 

[bennymate]

Incredible assistance package, but can we get the right list manager in before Brady fumbles the bag?

 

[Merlin007]

We need to transact Fisher and Stephens. Wouldn't be surprised if we traded 2024 Pick 20 to one of them for the player and 2nd round back which we give to the other for their player.

I understand the logic (two players for one pick), but Fisher is a Carlton salary dump imo, and we shouldn't be giving up too much in draft capital. We can hold Sydney up against the PSD for Stephens, so with both, we've got the superior position

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Those future "firsts" shouldn't go anywhere near trades for Stephens and Fisher

Yes I hope we can squeeze those clubs for a better trade rather than be forced to use these picks.

 

[Hojuman]

I think we should all be man / woman enough to admit that if any of the other 17 clubs need assistance in the future we would be glad for the AFL to provide it and we will make our support known on the main board.

Hip-hip ?

 

[Frogginton McPowell]

As long as mcKay triggers band 1 its all good.

2, 3, 14 & 19 is a great draft hand - especially as it drops away after the 1st 25/30 picks.

Curtain, McKercher, Murphy, A Reid

Med Key back, Speed and elite kick, Tall Key back, Tall key forward.

I really want us to trade our 3 for Melbourne's 5 and 13.
Can still one of the top group at 5. Possibly Watson or Caddy.
Trade our 2 futures from next year and our future second for GC's 5 while conveniently not bidding on their players. If they have to "go into deficit" next year. That deficit is covered by those picks.
I'd even be tempted to see if Gws would trade their first this year (6 I think) first our future 1st next year and back ourselves to move up the ladder.
We need bulk talent now, not spread over another 2 or 3 years. Plus the bond the 1st year guys form when they come into a club together makes them more likely to buy in and want to build the club to success together.

So the dream would be -
Trade out -

• 2023 pick 3
• 2024 natural first (4 - 8?)
• 2024 2 assistance firsts (19 & 20), 2024 second (22 - 26)

Trade in -
Melbourne's 5 and 13
Gws 6
GC 4

2023 draft -
2, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14 & 19

Stephens and Fisher with later picks this year
Another good player with our future second
Haynes salary dump

Won't come into the draft until 3rd round 2024. Little draft or trade capital so Look for 1 or 2 good free agents off the back of a much improved year. Reload again for 2025.

7 elite youngsters and 4 mature players in 1 year.
That's how you reset a list!! I'm off to tell Brady now....

The bonus of this is that we retain our 2024 r1 & R2 picks.
Knowing our need for KPP's I'm starting to be tempted to split either pick 2 or 3 to get O'Sullivan & Caddy (combining with pick 14) while also keeping the other 2 top 5 picks.

 

[Mute Point]

We all know how dodgy the AFL are. I have little doubt that this pkg & associated terms / conditions was created to assist not only us but also either WCE or GC via trading the future picks. I'm happy with what we're getting, it's more than I expected & wouldn't be surprised if the deal has already been done behind closed doors.

[Fish Sticks]

I can’t believe the melts on here!
I reckon we done alright…
We are in a prime position to get GC’s pick now.
Just need to get band 1 for McKay now & we are gonna clean up at this draft

 

[DuckYeah]

Let’s burn those picks so fast.
Have another awful year.
And go back to for PP assistance and do it all again!

Our days in the bottom 4 are over. Even with Magoo gone, will win enough to keep us outside the bottom 4 next year

 

[Fish Sticks]

Just reject it honestly what's the point, especially if those F1s can't be traded

Gonna unsubscribe Kayo

yeah reject 3 end of first round picks… that’ll show em!

Dad - My son I have bought you a car!

Son - Oh wow….thanks Dad!

Dad - You’re welcome…..it’s in 8 separate parts and you’ll have to put it together yourself.

Son - Thanks……

 

[Flawed Genius]

Explains why our delistings haven't been announced yet

 

[Jonnoo]

Im assuming this in no way impacts our natural future R1 and R2 picks.

And again we get assistance with caveats attached, basically use them or lose them (future picks I mean)
