That's not quite what he said.

He said he first received a phone call about Tarryn when he was 12y.o. He said he's been aware of him since then.

Pretty sure Hamish said they have followed him from when he was 12. Its semantic anyway.

 

[Cleric]

There are some good SA kids - I would be surprised if a Rankine or even Rozee was available they would bid on Thomas.

Bid on Thomas, North match, draft Rozee. Then it leaves one better kid in the pool for the first we get off Melbourne.
Im sure if Scott is there we would do the same with him.

We will look to trade our 1st round pick. Still - I hope we don't match if we don't rate him in the top 10.

Do you think Hately will be gone by your 1st pick?

 

[Cleric]

Do you think Hately will be gone by your 1st pick?

I think Hately drops down the draft boards. Normally from now a hand full of TAC cup kids rise due to performance and finals.

And if north don’t match due to preferring another player?

North have had a good look at Thomas and if they don’t think he’s the best at our pick would be negligent to match.

Next rankings update will come on Saturday, a surprise name will drop out of my top 20. No major changes in the grand scheme compared to last months rankings.

Nope

well it looks like Thomas will be a pick from 8-12 i think he will likely cost you your first pick.

 

[Davo-27]

Nope

West, Hately, Caldwell, Taylor or Bytel?

 

[Bicks]

Nope

James Rowbottom?

 

[eDPS]

James Rowbottom?

As I told lemming, nope he just hangs on. The 3 new players in the top 20 I don’t think will be disputed as to why they are in, 3 players fall out. Two of them arent a big shock but I think the other will be, they haven’t fallen too far though they are still top 30.

Where's my boy Tommy winding up then?

Where's my boy Tommy winding up then?

With all the shuffling he is one of not many that have kept their spot. I still have him at 22.

Yes. At the pick that is bid minus 20% discount.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I'll go Connor Rozee.

 

[eDPS]

I'll go Connor Rozee.

Rozee is top 10 and should stay there for the rest of the year

 

[theGav56]

So why would you trade pick 10?

 

[Bicks]

Pretty obvious one of the players will be Liam Stocker, cos he'll be long gone at pick 42....I'm working on the others still

 

[Wild Bill]

So why would you trade pick 10?

Because if we do rate him in the top 5 we will match. Get rid of 10 for a player or picks and use our 2nd round pick on Thomas.

 

[Homer Jay Simpson]

How ridiculous. I totally agree but some kid playing TAC gets 30 touches goes up, yet Hately playing against men get his 20-25 every week goes down. Hately Rozzee etc would all dominate SANFL 18's more than pretty much anyone is playing TAC in Vic.

You will need more than one second round pick to match a bid on Thomas. If Thomas is bid on at either pick 7 (1315 points) or 8 (1241 points), and you have traded out your first round pick, it will take your current next 3 picks, 27 (703 points) + 40 (429 points) + 53 (233 points) = (total 1365 points) to match a bid. Any trade you do make has to bring back a pick in the 31 to 36 range at the very least.

nb. the points I quoted for picks 7 & 8 are the discounted values. The points I quoted for the later picks are the full points values.

Also, any first round and end of first round compensation picks and priority picks clubs receive obviously push your 2nd round and later picks back and devalue them even further.

You might say it is ridiculous but go back and watch how these rating progress through out the year. Every year northern acadmey and WA/SA kids rank well and then as the year goes on they tend to drop and TAC cup kids rise.
Its an observation that tends to happen each year.

North would be more than happy with matching a bid for Thomas with their first. The kids a gun.

We should look at something like this with the Crows.

We trade our 1st pick this year 10 and next years 2nd rounder for their 1st round pick in 2019 and their 2nd round pick this year.

They would have 8, 10 & 13 this year to potentially trade up for Lukinsios or Rankine. Would 8 & 10 get pick 1? Very close points wise. 3 in the top 13 in what is meant to be a superdraft would handy.

We get Thomas and keep 1 2nd round pick this year and will have 2 1st round picks next year.

Can you see the Crows finishing lower than this year in 19? Unless they got smashed with injuries again I would be very surprised.
