GC & Carlton Given Priority Access to State League Players

[gillo94]

I think you severally overestimate the intelligence level of this mob, most of them seem to think pick 12 wouldn't have been enough they wanted pick 1 lol. Town full of collingwood supporters, just ignore them/wave and smile.

Most Crows supporters I know agree. Some will argue his worth more similar to Bryce. One MM has won best and fairest & few more individual accolades to his name then yes pick 12. Right now his a 10-13 disposal player a game.

Much prefer this over a priority pick so I am pretty happy with that. I don't reckon there is much chance we trade these on, we will bring in some good big bodies around the kids and protect them... What we should have done 8 years ago...

You just delisted Barlow?

If you're going to insult our intelligence, the least you could do is learn how to spell.

Difference between a 24 - 26 year old with some good years ahead of them to a 31 year old who was rather slow and found himself behind Swallow, Lyons, Miller and Brodie who all have a good amount of years ahead of them and are quite well developed.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

You seem pretty salty.
The AFL is giving them a hand out that is of value and the Carlton poster just bitches and intimates their isnt any quality in the state leagues, when in reality they would beaten by a few SANFL or WAFL teams.

We wouldn't be beaten by a few state league teams. Honestly, get a clue.

As for the players Adelaide were missing, have you had a look at Carlton's injury list the whole season?

Now if you've finished carrying on about how s**t Carlton are, I think the topic is about assistance for Carlton and Gold Coast.

The McGovern thread needs you.

 

[Furn2]

It's a good idea, gives them something without overly compromising the draft and you're more likely to get some one who can contribute straight away.

The next Kelly, Smith, Barlow, Stratton etc could be very handy.

 

[master bate]

Why would Blues trade him?
Can’t he be of use on Blues list?

He's settled in Adelaide and they want him more. It's the easiest way to do the McGovern trade.

 

[Worm4]

Jack lukosius played a handful of games at SANFL level. We pick him Gilham. You got any problems with our selection Gil ? Your rules .......

 

[Tas]

These teams are a disgrace given the amount of talent both have been given access to.

 

[F_therest]

Heard from a few journos it could be 2 players each for Carlton and GC? Seems it's not finalised yet though so no one knows for sure.

But here are just some mature aged players - get 2 of these players for example and it's a huge leg up.

Tim Kelly, Tom Stewart, Liam Ryan, Bailey Fritsch, Mitch Hannan, Ben Stratton, Ben Brown, Isaac Smith, Sam Menegola, Adam Saad, Michael Barlow, Dayne Zorko, Nic Newman, Jeremy McGovern, Mitch McGovern, Kane Lambert, Brody mihocek etc.

Some big names there.

 

[Tushay]

Apparently... according to the very salty Sam McClure in the last hour or so (who is Carlton’s mouthpiece)... the Mitch McGovern negotiations have gone too far now and Carlton can’t back out, they’ve committed, so they are going to now have to find another way to get Adelaide what they want..

Looks like it could get costly for the blues..

Tough luck troll. The bigger likelihood is that he'll go to another club, or end up at Carlton for a lower pick than you'd hoped.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

Carlton are a " special needs " club
Lol

i'd hate to think where your club will end up if we don't get any talent on our list. you should be banging on the AFL's door to give carlton a priority pick with us!

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

Carlton really need to beg for handouts so it's great for them to get them

because collingwood has never received a priority pick before?

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

The AFL has announced that Gold Coast and Carlton will be given access to state league players outside the draft:

Apparently priority picks aren't enough "special assistance".

says the fan of a club who's entire spine is built from selling assets going to the draft and being given priority picks.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

The AFL won't be happy until they've completely screwed state leagues into the ground, if they haven't done so already. One of these days the AFL will do something that actually benefits the health of the game in this country ...... for a nice change.

As for clubs like Gold Coast and Carlton, stop behaving like homeless people and do something to help yourself for a change.

we did, we went to the draft

I would assume it would just end up like the mini drafts when GWS started up. Someone would just approach and say "we'll give our first if you pick up and on trade player x."

Yes i assume so...though i haven't heard of any of this years state league players even being rated in the second round, unlike last year with Liam Ryan and Tim Kelly.

Best i'd imagine we'd get is equivalent of a third rounder.

Pick 31 Bailey Fritsch still second Rd right . You never know what recruiters want from other team.

I would argue that this will not affect the amount of people taken from the state leagues, this won't result in more people being taken from the state leagues. Either you are good enough for the top flight or you aren't.

That is just my take on it though, could be completely wrong.

 

[PP34]

I don’t really care that we didn’t get a PP. Whatever.

But find it ******* laughable that the AFL has thrown this to the Gold Coast and Carlton as the alternative like the state leagues are a gold mine of AFL level talent.

Boy has Tim Kelly really messed with the AFL’s heads. There are not a heap of gun AFL players ready to be picked up from these leagues. In reality it will just lead to Carlton and Gold Coast wasting more time on blokes who aren’t up to it, like Carlton did with Cam O’Shea who was a VFL player.

There is a reason the majority of these blokes are playing VFL, SANFL etc. 18 clubs are not horrible at picking AFL level talent, therefore leaving the state leagues stacked with options.

 

[Rod Stroker]

More policy on the run from City Hall. Shambolic!

 

[asanque]

Surprised the AFL didn't start 'The Recruit - Season 3' (including State League players) with the Top 2 contestants going to either Blues or GC

You're seriously underrating the opportunity given here. Have a look at the mature age recruits over the past two seasons:

2016: English, Long, Stewart, Hannan, Rioli, Luke Ryan

2017: T.Kelly, Liam Ryan, Fritsch, Langdon, Guelfi

 

[gcsunsfc]

They just take up a regular list spot it seems.

With our list numbers at present and the picks we have (2, presumably 3, 17, 26,29)

we could just take these guys with 38 and 41 anyway

Well I suppose they were of the view that the blues are sticking to their plan of continually going to the draft and are an inexperienced team (which they keep telling us), and that they need access to more mature players so this is the compromise.

It’s probably the ‘fairest’ way so as not to disadvantage teams like the Saints
