Oh there you go..you ruined it now. 'SOS said 3 x 1sts for pick 1'..as we can all see what the hell does SOS know
Usually, leaving something in the hands of Carlton is not a good idea but this is an exception.SOS reckoned pick 1 was worth 3 firsts because, as has become clear, pick 1 was still contracted to Carlton for at least one more season.
More speed and kicks it moreRowell reminds me of a shorter version of Clayton Oliver
Big fan of Dylan WilliamsI think Anderson could play a similar role to Jordan De Goey up forward if required as well as midfield.
Dylan Williams could be the sleeper if he lives up to the promise he showed in 2018, slightly underwhelming thus far this season but if he performs at the Championships and in the back end of the season he could fly up the rankings with a bang.Highly skilled, highly talented.
Pick 19 might come in handy.Taheny kicked 5 for Norwood tonight
IIRC didnt SOS want three 1sts for Pick 1 ???
Now if something like that landed in our lap you definitely would consider the options. In terms of rebuilding, that would take a solid 3 years to acquire.
Even if we do end up with pick #1 and decide we want to trade down for two or more mid-r1 picks, it wont be easy to do that, I think.It’ll certainly be interesting how we play it, especially if we do have the number 1 pick. There would be more than a few Victorian clubs gushing over Rowell and Anderson. As I read it both Dylan Stephens, Cam Taheny and Will Gould are shaping as SA based potential top 5/10 picks, do we look to clean up from a local front, rather than putting the eggs in a Rowell/Anderson basket, where Anderson sounds a significant flight risk and Rowell sounds quality, but with the Crouch brothers, Jones and McHenry playing similar roles, are we better off diversifying? Stephens offers a more outside leaning mid, Taheny that classy, potential match winning half forward cum mid and Gould a potential long term key tall.
History says a few things, whilst the number 1 pick is generally quality, it’s rarely the best player in the draft. Hamish generally nails his 1st rounders and has repeatedly picked up better players in the teens than were selected at one.
Now the players mentioned above are probably more just vague examples at this stage, but it’s an interesting discussion as to how best to use pick 1.
I dunno.Number 1 priority has to be a Dangerfield/Shiel type player.
I know very little about Rowell or Anderson, but from memory one is a Matt Crouch type player and if so they would add little to no upside to our midfield mix.
I dunno.
Can Matt Crouch do this?
The other is a forward/midfield 190cm prototype
Neither Dangerfield or Shiel WERE pick one.Number 1 priority has to be a Dangerfield/Shiel type player.
I know very little about Rowell or Anderson, but I'm sure that I read on here somewhere that one is a Matt Crouch type player and if so would it be worth drafting him?
Agree but i would think that upgrading our pick 19 to a low teens pick or even late top 10 pick might be worth it to grab a talent like taheny who looks a real gem. If that was at all on the radar then GWS might be that team as the 'pick 7' they currently have could be absorbed if a team above bids on their academy player who is very highly rated. Maybe a couple of 2nd rounders like 19 and 30 for 7 might do it for them?I think after we watch Rowell/Anderson tomorrow many of us will not bother with trying to trade pick 1 for multiple first rounders.
We need elite talent. Elite, not workmanlike talent. We have too many first rounders in itself sitting in the 2s.
Sure you can trade out a pick 10 and a player for a higher first rounder.
But **** trading out pick 1.
We’d be stupid to even think of doing this.
From what I've heard Rowell is a couple of levels above a Matt crouch. Also different traits.Number 1 priority has to be a Dangerfield/Shiel type player.

I’m not talking about the stoppage work. Don’t care what level it is.He could in the SANFL, absolutely. Which is a bit of a fairer comparison
I’m not talking about the stoppage work. Don’t care what level it is.
Have a look at the explosiveness.
Matt doesn’t have that, none of our midfielders have that explosiveness.
I reckon Jones has it.I’m not talking about the stoppage work. Don’t care what level it is.

He has explosive accelerating pace.You're always going to look faster against lower grade opponents because they'll be slower on average.
