Preview Mid Season Draft

[LB2Snake]

More likely to be related to

former member of a drug-dealing indigenous gang who helped wash the dirty profits from sales of meth around WA has escaped an immediate jail term — and is now on the board of an Aboriginal corporation.
Former Supreme Court security guard Lindsay Pickett had become a trusted member of the Naala Moort gang when thousands of dollars made from the sale of ice were funnelled through his TAB account in 2017.
Between April and June that year, deposits totalling $14,800 appeared in his account, partly on the instruction of gang boss Donald Collard. A court was told Pickett, 41, a father of four, did not know where the money was coming from when it first began flowing through the account — but when he did find out, he didn’t stop it.


A month after police swooped on the Naala Moort headquarters in Midland last year, they found dozens of grams of meth and arrested the gang’s leaders, Pickett was also arrested and charged.

So is he related to Lindsay or Byron? I'd still take him.

For me it just adds way too much instability to the whole situation.

Not to mention the further commodification of the sport. Perhaps that ship has sailed, but I don't like the idea of players you support jumping ship (different ship) half way through the season.

I am sure they* would... offer a first round and more for a Mason Wood.

That said, "sold!!" Happy to throw Lmac in as a sweetener.

Not sure if...

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." (F.Scott Fitzgerald) Probably not.

or..

"Cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values."

How would you launder through a TAB account? If you bet you risk losing it back to the house. If you cashed it out you never concealed anything in the first place.

really common tbh
anti money laundering was like 90% of my tab training.

I’m still of the opinion we take Knoll.
If we want Tippa then I think he’d still be available with our 2nd pick.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Assuming we finish with a top 2 pick. one of Kyle Dunkley or Sam Lowson will be available, blues will likely take one of them and we should take the other

Who is to say it is you who cashes it out? Tab betting account didnt need a tax file number and afaik still dont.

We're 17th. We need good players full stop.

There'll be a kid out there who's been over looked but improved over the preseason to the point where he could go about pick 30 next year. Find him.

Our recruiters should be all over it.

Will only play VFL anyways and then fall off the radar. It is a sad state of affairs that the mid season draft is a concern. No proper preseason? No worries! Don't know what the rest of the team have been told, by increments, to improve. Didn't get drafted as one of the best 100-odd players (including rookies)! Pull on the jumper mate! We've been a bit short since Darryl got caught in the slashing machine

This is an exercise in AFL propaganda to reinvigorate hope in supporters just before said hope reaches its snapping point

 

[Yoko and me]

Gerard Whateley just talked about growing support from the clubs for a mid-season trade period to go along with the mid-season draft. Given we are every chance of being 2 and 9 going into the draft, who on our list would you be prepared to offer up for a trade and who do you think may be interested in them? The obvious ones for me are guys that are still very good players but won't be part of our next competitive team. Would you trade Goldstein to Richmond for example?

Yes

Have you seen Lowson play? He really isn’t that good.

Old mate Lowson will be on the board at 3 and probably later.

So how do we do it successfully?

Looks like we're just taking one in the draft. So conservative. To the point of being pathetic really.

There's also the possibility we don't want to lay down 70k on a bloke that's been passed over three times when we only have one player guaranteed not to return this season.

I know it's a "new" toy but historically the mid season draft isn't flush with wins. The top ten all time mid season draft picks article in the Herald Sun recently had one bloke that never even played a game for the team that drafted them.

After today's developments, who will be actually making the decisions Re. who goes on LTI list, who/how many do we select etc etc ?

It’s already decided. EVW to the LTI list and one selection only.

Potential No.1 mid-season draft pick Sam Lowson will have scans on his foot tomorrow after an injury in the VFL today. Coburg believe there is no major damage as he was able to put weight on it post-game. More on http://foxfooty.com.au shortly.

Potential No. 1 pick Sam Lowson has suffered an injury scare on the eve of the mid-season rookie draft.

The Coburg forward spent the final 10 minutes of the Lions’ clash with Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on the bench, after hurting his ankle in a contest.

The extent of the injury won’t be known until he undergoes scans on Sunday, but the club is hopeful he has suffered no major damage.



The injury would’ve put a scare through AFL clubs on Saturday afternoon, with the 22-year-old expected to be one of the first few players selected in Monday’s draft.

Coburg Football Club confirmed to foxfooty.com.au Lowson had suffered an injury to his ankle, with the mid-season draft prospect spending time of the ground as a precaution due to the score situation.

Lowson is understood to have been putting his weight on his foot following the match.



Lowson booted two goals from 15 touches, as Geelong defeated Coburg by 77 points.

Over in Western Australia, Marlion Pickett was another casualty, with a hand injury ending the 27-year-old’s day after six disposals in the opening term for South Fremantle.

A number of other mid-season draft prospects will sit out games ahead of Monday’s event, with overage prospects Mitch Riordan, Kyle Dunkley and Cody Hirst sitting out of Sunday morning’s Victorian trials against the Allies.

I reckon kyle dunkley has the biggest ceiling.

Bet on both outcomes of a given event. The same way you wash money at the casino.
