Pick 1 2023 Trade value - What would it take?

[Caligo]

Imagine being so bitter about the compensation Pick system that you feel bad for Essendon

You aren't the first to point out I shouldn't be pitying the club who truly lived up to their motto "whatever it takes".

 

[Bojan KantKick]

With any luck, the AFL will stop tampering with the draft and the rest of our picks will fall where they are supposed to fall.

I hope you are right but I can't see it.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Lucky for us we’ve got 2 picks in the first 25 then.

Nah your pick is getting pushed out big time

 

[bzparkes]

Yep, expect North to ask for more handouts after another disastrous campaign next year.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

North are living proof that you can have all the high picks/players drafted within the top 20 and your club can still be utter shite.

I fail to see how it's going to get any better.

I've read your posting before. I know you can't see. You're a blind piranha

They have a better structure in place now. They'll be fine.

So are your end of round picks. Not much value there.

Someone please summarise the arguments in this thread for me? I ain't going to read almost 10,000 posts to find out. soz

Every pick is getting pushed out. Potentially even your first pick if you bid on Walter. I'm very happy with where our 3 teen picks are.

4 spots by players that aren't available to us anyway, just like your charity picks.

Probably similar quality of player available at that pick as at your ones too so still can't see how they are worth losing pick 1 over

WC supporters position: if we don't get a stupidly insane deal (2,3 or similar) we just take Reid.

NM supporters: lots of reasons why WC should take an ordinary deal for 1 (2,15) mostly involving arguments around go home factors that seem more hopeful than anything.

Maybe.

Clarkson didn't exactly cover himself in glory at Hawthorn after 2015.

North supporters definitely don't want pick 1 or Harley Reid but think it's in WCs best interests to trade it to them anyway

North fans - Reid is a flight risk. You should split pick 1 for 2 & 15.

West Coast fans - Reid is not a flight risk. 2 & 15 is not 'extraordinary' (Rohan O'Brien's prerequisite for trading pick 1)

 

[RanaNaved]

Looking at Twomeys' phantom, after pick 1 there's not a lot to get excited over

 

[bh90210fan]

And we’ve got a pick around the same mark as the ones you’re apparently very happy with, so not sure how we’re only walking away with 1 good kid in the draft.

North - 2 and 15, plus possibility of some extras, not sure.

West Coast - Toooooooo N Freeeeeeee and more or fk off

Close thread.

Edit. Forgot, West Coast are a big club, they are rich. North is s**t. Beggars.

That’s pretty much it

I don't think the quality is terribly similar. The teens are full of ruck and KPP prospects so depends what you guys need at 30 I guess

The beggars stuff came from other clubs' fans. Pretty funny though.

Yeah we have three mid picks at 5-8 picks ahead of yours. Happy to take them to the draft for Edwards, Shoenmaker and a slider tbf.

That's an interesting what of interpreting North posters in here(and on our board, for some weird reason) humblebragging about having 5 picks within the first 20, whilst simultaneously stating they don't want to trade for pick 1 unless it's for a bunch of late first crap.

If North supporters are so against trading for pick 1, why do so many of them flock to this thread?

Nailed it with your second last line though

Rather take Moir like Bangers has for us with our pick 38 tbh

Come on, mate.

For starters, its a completely different coaching and development staff. You should expect different results. Development isn't about the polo shirt, its about the person who is wearing it.

And North have taken 10 top 20 picks in the last 10 drafts (and one was traded to get another, so its really 9). We haven't had an unusual amount.
