Mega Thread Pick 88 and the rest of our draft picks Mega Thread

Any news on our reported or potential delistings?

 

[Brishawk]

Yes we can. We'll just go into deficit next year. Will only be a small one as Jarman won't go very high i hope. + if he makes it to Pick 70 it will hardly affect us.

All the points have to come from next year. 88 isn't worth anything in a bid at all. Don't think Pick 88 is consumed in that process either. Doubt we will go into deficit for him.

We need to delist three. Got to figure spang will go. Webster? Wilsmore?

Got a good feeling about pick 88..!

JML, Webster, Willsmore?

 

[grumbleguts]

Is Shem Tatupu still in calculations for lit management? He is an autodelist. 3 in (TOM, JOM and Vickery) three out, Mitchell Lewis and Tatupu. So we still need to delist 3. My guesses would be Spangher, JML and maybe 1 of Willsmore or Webster.

Although given the happenings of last week, it could be Hodge Burgoyne and Gunston.

Did you forget about Hill?

Well draft day is going to be sh*t for the next 2 years at least, used to love that day and will really miss it and the lead up. With our 3 picks this year I'd use the first pick on the best available as I'm sure there would be a kid slip through that we really liked, the second on a delisted free agent (ruck/mid) and the third on upgrading Stewart.

I have a feeling that we'll definitely take a free agent as our depth has certainly thinned out over the past two off seasons. Both midfielders and rucks will be looked at I imagine. Barlow could be value for 1 year until we get our next gun mid in free agency next year and whist Burton, Lovell and Howe mature further.

If Mitchell and Lewis show strong leadership and play really well, then I dare say we might get picks for more veterans wanting a superanuation pay packet elswhere

 

[killerspud]

Here comes the chaos ball!

Reckon we'll tap a discarded ruckman on the shoulder

Minson?

 

[Mitchell54]

I thought they could only use the picks for which they had list spots?

Don'tthink anything like that is in affect this year.

I know it's worth nothing. but if He goes late 60's, 70's then we will hardly go into deficit. So it won't effect next years draft much at all.

 

[Mitchell54]

Collingwood have 2. Daicos and can't remember

Collingwood could go into deficit next year because they're only picks with bidding point are: 28(677), 44(362), 51(259), 62(123) & 65(90) = 1511
Whats Daicos and Brown(the other F/S) predicted to go at?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I reckon we go for novelty and see if we can pick up Daicos and Jarman.

 

[Billyc]

I think we should look to bring someone in with pick 14 in the pre-season draft. Find the best uncontracted player we like and see if we can do a deal there. It's of more value than any of our draft picks.

There was talk about Barrett at GWS before the trade period but we obviously used up all our picks on O'Meara. Is he uncontracted?

 

[Fourthawn]

Pick 88 and upgrade Stewart and Woodward for mine.

We still need to delist 2 more players though.
I think if either Litherland or Spangher get an offer from somewhere we'll delist them to let them get to their club otherwise I think it'll be Willsmore. Webster is also out of contract but I see a bit more in him for some reason.

With pick 88 wouldn't mind going for a mature age player.

Won't be Willsmore. He will re-sign for two years.

 

[grumbleguts]

Did you forget about Hill?

LOL yes.

 

[The Lemon]

Won't be Willsmore. He will re-sign for two years.

Willsmore reminds me of Suckling in 2009. Ready to explode

 

[Davo-27]

We need to delist three. Got to figure spang will go. Webster? Wilsmore?

this sounds about right

-Spangher - 29 years old, out of contract, very likely to be delisted
-Willsmore - 21 years old, has potential, but probably delisted
-Webster - 21 years old, has injury problems, hasnt really impressed, almost certain to be delisted

then theres others who might go

-Litherland - 24, out of contract, hasnt established a spot at HFC yet
-O'Brien - 22, has a year remaining on contract, but im not sure he will establish himself

they are my thoughts

 

[flinchfree]

I reckon we go for novelty and see if we can pick up Daicos and Jarman.

Be fun to watch them go 1 v 1 doing checks side and dribble goals if they got anything from their pops.

Anyone else get the feeling this particular article is just taking the p*ss and is almost mocking of us?

[nickrebellious]

We need to delist 2. We entered the year with one less on the senior list. Traded 3 and brought in 3.

Not really, just pointing out how unique it is for a club to enter the draft so late. Wouldn't take it to heart.

No, as it's the truth. We are entering the draft with pick 88, where it could be possible that all 17 clubs could be finished with their picks. Pick 88 could very well be lower with all the passes.

Need to realise there's not always a conspiracy against us.

Mature age recruit

 

[sven_inc]

Should we play it safe at 88 and hope that a smokey falls to 90 or go hard for the smokey and hope our first available falls to 90. Going to be nerve wracking either way #boyohboy
