Unofficial Preview Hurtin for Curtin vs Lurcher for McKercher vs Heard Ya! It’s Duursma!

[Ambrose Burnside]

Normally I'd say McKercher but the idea of Tasmania being able to take any uncontacted player (for nothing?) has me worried.

Would love it that if he does go home, he treats us right and we get the best possible deal ala the Judd trade.

 

[EdCurnowRules]

And would North bid on Walters?

No way. Suns might pass and take Reid.

Suns landing pick 2 would be massive for their list and new coach.

Walter and Curtin. Plus two other 1st round academy kids.

That’s exactly the point… they’d get a chomp at a top pick potentially before a bid on Walter. If north take Walter they choose to match or take Reid…

In this hypothetical scenario where GC trade up and then use pick 2, will they still have enough points to match 3 guys in the top 10? Until that's addressed it's not particularly realistic.

Feels like there’d always be some compo. Any precedents for GWS/GC? What did Geelong get for Gab

Enough of the technical stuff thanks Z

Couple of first rounders. That ended up back at Gold Coast:

GEELONG recruiting boss and list manager Stephen Wells is adamant the Cats extracted the maximum value from the two first-round compensation picks they received for Gary Ablett in 2010.

Wells handed the second compensation selection to Gold Coast on Wednesday as part of the deal that has brought Suns midfielder Josh Caddy to Geelong.

Back in 2010, the Cats also sent the first compensation pick to Gold Coast as part of a move to trade their way up the draft order.

Geelong received selection 15 in return and used that pick to draft emerging midfielder Billie Smedts.

 

[The Passenger]

Pick McKercher and assuming he has a good first year, put a good contract offer in front of him. If Tassie wants him, they can pay for him.

Curtin looks really nice, but I'm generally pretty reticent about grabbing a KPD that high in the draft. As a general rule, there is a much greater difference in output between a midfielder taken in the top five and pick ~40 than key defenders taken in those positions. Jacob Weitering

was a rookie selection but admittedly that level of rookie selection is much harder to find these days.

The above being said if North go with McKercher then I think I'm going Curtin with #3.

FWIW given McKay is probably out the door, seems a strong bet North will go like for like and pick Curtin.

Couple of first rounders. That ended up back at Gold Coast:

A lot of Geelong's trading and drafting has actually been quite average in the last decade. What got them another flag was Selwood and Hawkins maintaining elite level for years, Dangerfield for free (who was also elite) and great use of the rookie list. Even then, they only just jagged one before they fell off the cliff this year.

Cameron was a good trade but they paid a high price for him.

All this drama just to trade pick 1.

bit of an early call, what if North beat GC?

I see my sage-like prediction has thrown the number 1 cat amongst the pigeons!!!

This thread/board is going to be all time tonight.

Hope Miguel is priming himself for a big one.

 

[SumaGodCoach]

Carbine Chaos Double melt incoming? Or is that melt-squared? Big footy to crash around 8:30pm if we win.

It's either we get Reid and 19 (my preference) or I'm around 600 up (put some on us this week too) so I guess I win either way.

I do expect us to win tonight so the sting won't be as pronounced!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

All other prospects are dead to me apart from Harley Reid unless we manage to win tonight.
