Theres still a bit of interest in Borlase so I wonder if we try harder to package up 22 and 23 somehow and only take 3 x top 20ish picks and save another spot for Borlase.

Would make more sense.Theres still a bit of interest in Borlase so I wonder if we try harder to package up 22 and 23 somehow and only take 3 x top 20ish picks and save another spot for Borlase.
I think if we have to take Borlase on the main list, we just run as 37 and 5 rookies instead of 36 and 6, which sounds like our preference.Theres still a bit of interest in Borlase so I wonder if we try harder to package up 22 and 23 somehow and only take 3 x top 20ish picks and save another spot for Borlase.

West AdelaideSure Port bid with their pick #35 on Borlaise ......so #40 likely to come into playI think if we have to take Borlase on the main list, we just run as 37 and 5 rookies instead of 36 and 6, which sounds like our preference.
We won't have a pick to the very end of the draft by the time we match Jones.Sure Port bid with their pick #35 on Borlaise ......so #40 likely to come into play
What the club says publicly, is different from reality
Think we just go into deficit for next year.We won't have a pick to the very end of the draft by the time we match Jones.
If you are matching a bid from us it would be then, so essentially free points wise.
I am not sure what the rules say about matching though if you have already passed at 40?

No way we go in to deficit. Do you really want pick 1 to become pick 2 or 3 as a result? No chance.Think we just go into deficit for next year.
Well I dont know then. If we get to pick 40 and Borlase hasnt been picked I guess we pick him then. If we only want the four selections.No way we go in to deficit. Do you really want pick 1 to become pick 2 or 3 as a result? No chance.
Makes sense, if you are going to pass on the pick you may as well use it to pick up who ever you are waiting for, there are no prizes for getting guns at picks further into the draft.Well I dont know then.

That's not how the deficit works. You go into deficit for the same round - so if Borlase is bid on in the third round, we lose points from our third next year.No way we go in to deficit. Do you really want pick 1 to become pick 2 or 3 as a result? No chance.
Also no point drafting him at 40 if he's available as a cat B rookie.Makes sense, if you are going to pass on the pick you may as well use it to pick up who ever you are waiting for, there are no prizes for getting guns at picks further into the draft.
I thought the suggestion was that we would go into deficit for next year - same as Fremantle did this year?That's not how the deficit works. You go into deficit for the same round - so if Borlase is bid on in the third round, we lose points from our third next year.
Freo had a first-round match last year for Henry. They had a points deficit there, so that is applied to their first round pick this year.I thought the suggestion was that we would go into deficit for next year - same as Fremantle did this year?
Port will be hoping Taj Schofield gets through to the rookie draft as I take it they will nominate him F/S?....not overly big but right up there with the top echelon of this draft skills wise and tested really well athletically at the Combine.Sure Port bid with their pick #35 on Borlaise ......so #40 likely to come into play

From a distance away and with little detailed knowledge on either it feels like Edwards has slipped this year to about the place that Borlase has risen to.

We already gave up our future 2nd and 3rd so even if we do it would be a 4th which won't end up that far in front of our end of draft picks anyway. I can't see the point.A bid from port is a sure thing according to your fellow port fans on Twitter.
yesterday one of them told me, that you would trade a future pick into this years draft just to make a bid.
We already gave up our future 2nd and 3rd so even if we do it would be a 4th which won't end up that far in front of our end of draft picks anyway. I can't see the point.
Chris Davies did suggest that moving back into this draft was still an option though.
As for bidding on Borlase, if he is still there at the end of the ND I cant see any reason why we wouldn't. Jonas and McKenzie aren't getting any younger and he is the son of a PAFC champion.

They have nominated both but with the proviso it will depend on when or if bids come for them.Does anyone know why we haven’t heard if we’ve nominated anyone if today was the last nomination day?
Article missed a couple of things, Crows Trade with BrisbaneThey have nominated both but with the proviso it will depend on when or if bids come for them.
