Re: Power SANFL - Round 6/Foxtel Cup

Why is this thread up after five rounds.

We Are Port Adelaide?

1 Draft is extra strong this year
2 We aren't going to play finals

It's the most optimistic thing to look forward to already this season?

Agreed. Lets wait 5 months please

Agreed.

I would rather trade our 1st round pick for a proven mid in the 22-25yo bracket. To fit in with our existing miss... no use getting another 18yo who will take 3-4 years to develop... With no guarantees.

Have Melbourne said they will use their scully pick this year?

Perhaps...but would depend strongly on who that midfielder was. Would probably have to be exceptional player for the club to consider it.

Than again I understand there will be some quality flankers available at our first pick.

I predict the AFL will give us a PP this year and boy do we sorely need it as we are seriously lacking elite talent.

Re: Power SANFL - Round 6/Foxtel Cup

Thread is up because discussion in the SANFL thread switched to draft prospects and the posts were moved, nothing more.

hmmm It smells a little of Fremantle of the late 90's early 2000's

Worked well for them

 

[TheFVK]

I'm as big a fan of the draft as the next guy, but this thread is way too early!!! It's depressing and makes me want my club to tank.. there will be plenty of time in October (and September :S ) for this!

 

[Adz2332]

Im definatly not looking ahead to next years draft!!

Melb, Rich etc have done this and where has that got them??
You can add players every year but unless you can develpoe what you have 1 or 2 arent going to make a differance!
For what its worth i think we have the players right now or a good core, to be better then what we are.
Its time to devolope them better, worry more on coaches then who we will draft.
Get players that should be in the middle in there already! Might be a bit late for Sal but Hartlett should be in the guts. How many years are we going to wrap guys up in cotton wool??
Add to that middle Jacobs, Pearce etc.
We have the players we just have to use them!

 

[FishingRick04]

Why worry about Melb and Rich? Look at the Coll, West Coast, Hawthorn model

 

[Jonts]

As long as we don't go with the Freo Model, what some posters are suggesting, Think its all well and good too trade first round picks to fill in gaps when you're close, but we'r no where near being close just yet

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Yeah, Carlton with all their high draft picks (Walker, Murphy, Gibbs, Kreuzer) are another example! Who'd want to be in their position right now?!

 

[Powerade 08]

We are going to finish on 4+ wins very easily. We will not get a priority pick.

We need to make sure that we use our picks well so we don't have another year down the bottom in 2013. That simple.

We lose to Richmond I don't think we'll get more than 4.

to take advantage of this, I think we need to trade one of our overrated players out to get another key draft pick IMO.

The host of choices such as Pearce, Thomas, Kane, Rodan, Westhoff, try and get a couple of first round picks if we can't get a PP, we need to make this draft happen.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

If Primus isn't happy with Rodan's ball-winning ability to make him a must-start best 22, then I have no qualms with offering our second round pick + Rodan to a contending club pushing for a flag for their first round pick.

Edit: To clarify, this isn't saying that I want Rodan gone. I love the guy and the way he plays. But he's not useful to us if he's not playing.

That would be a great trade IMO

 

[Moore26]

lol that would never happen...ever!
Rodan is so overrated

 

[FishingRick04]

Not from what I hear on TV, radio and papers!

 

[Moore26]

Well the coach has said he doesnt work hard enough
id believe him over any of those "media experts"

I believe him at about the same level as the "media experts".

...not very much.
