List Mgmt. Pick 9

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Still disappointed from missing out on Papley but having done some research I think we can get a good player at this pick. It looks like it falls in a good range where the talent drops off soon after. We should definitely take the pick and worry about getting Papley and/or Wines in next year.

I can see the following going down:

1) GC- Rowell
2) GC- Anderson
3) GWS- Young (GWS trade 6 and change to Melbourne for 3, pick a replacement for Shaw)
4) GWS- Green (Matched bid)
5) ADE- Flanders/Serong
6) SYD- Flanders/Serong
7) MEL- Ash/Kemp
8) FRE- Robertson
9) MEL- Weightman/Ash/Kemp
10) CARL- Choice between Ash/Kemp/Gould/Stephens

Reckon all four would be good players:

Ash- If he falls to us, it would be hard to turn down. Perfect Simpson replacement with more speed. Reminds me of Yarran a bit with his line-breaking ability.

Kemp- Haven't seen much of but from all reports is highly talented and obviously went down with an ACL so could be a steal.

Gould- I think his mix of mongrel/size/pace/kicking would be brilliant at AFL level and would fit in well at the Blues. Reminds me of Jeremy McGovern with speed. Downside is he is from SA and adds to our stack of Key Defenders. I actually think he would be an upgrade on Jones/Plowman in time.

Stephens- Great speed, reminds me so much of Stephen Hill. Good player but I think he is too similar to LOB for us. SA origin too.

I'm for trading it for a future first and a late first/early second in this year's draft. Give us currency for Papley and Wines next year.

Both these players are contracted. Who's to say the Swans don't come out and say we want two first round draft picks for Papely. Port will probably ask for more. The more picks we have the more the clubs will request.

Don't thInk we will (or should) split the pick tbh.
Stephens or Kemp would also be great, would love Neddy though (would be awesome to see a Flanders and Simpson Tifo/banner in the cheersquad :) )

Why? I think he need to draft one more young gun mid and then we will be set.

Because we had the explicit primary aim of using this pick to land an established top end player to complement our talented but young list. Would like to see us load up on 2020 currency to maximise the chance of this happening next year.

I think that’s still very risky. Wines and Papley will still be contracted and someone like Caldwell I can’t see a situation where he will be worth it for us next season. If he does leave a premiership contending team which is firstly unlikely, if he has a poor year do we want him? If he has a good year he will be getting offered way overs by other Victorian clubs like Hawthorn, Cats, Essendon if they lose Daniher ect and hopefully by next year we have improve enough to actually not be one of the clubs willing to do that.
Next year we still have two firsts and a second to trade. Probably players too and if we don’t that’s probably a good thing because it means they are performing and we don’t really need to trade as much as we would otherwise.

Well maybe not those 2 exact players. But it really allows us to bring in either 1 absolute gun with 2 1sts and another very good player or the possibilities are endless.

To me, an 18 year old right now isn't required. Happy to put games into our already kids with the knowledge we attack trade week hard in 2020 with plenty of picks to make deals happen.

I don’t necessarily agree with your selections above but my ideas are based on team needs, which may not be how it plays out. Maybe teams will just take best available.

Below is my top 10 based on needs, l see a lot of these teams needing speed and run.

Gws - slow team, require speed, run, ball carriers. Small medium forward.
Adel - slow team, require speed, run, ball carriers.
Syd. - inside midfielder
Mel. - slow team, require speed, run, ball carriers. Small Medium forwards
Freo - best available, maybe run to replace hill and Langdon .
Carl - speed, run, small forward.


1) GC- Rowell
2) GC- Anderson
3) GWS- replacement for Shaw-Ash/Young, Serong/Flanders
4) GWS- Green (Matched bid)
5) ADE- speed, run - Ash/Stephens/Serong
6) SYD- Inside Midfielder, Kemp/Robertson/Flanders
7) MEL- speed run - Serong/Ash/Stephens
8) FRE- Best Available, maybe Robertson.
9) MEL- outside run, speed, Ash/Stephens/Weightman
10) CARL- Choice between Ash/Stephens/Weightman

This is a really good summary of the kid

East Fremantle/Western Australia | Balanced Midfielder
30/07/2001 | 189cm | 84kg

It is a good year for East Fremantle, with prospects basically growing on trees, and Rivers is another touted top 30 prospect along with Jeremy Sharp and Luke Jackson. Rivers is a natural-born leader who thrives on the contest and is as consistent as they come, racking up more than 20 disposals in most outings. He loves to tackle and put his body on the line, and is a crucial key to the midfield of Western Australia at the national championships. Unlike a lot of other top-end midfielders this year, Rivers has the size on him, standing at 189cm and 84kg, and readymade for senior football.

We aren’t shy on pulling the trigger for WA talent. It’s just my opinion as I really don’t know, but we seem to have a large network over here in WA.

Stephens I am pretty sure is from country Vic - Mildura; same place LOB is from but he went to boarding school in Adelaide and playing for Norwood.

If available I would go for him or Kemp. Think they will be the best two from the draft long term.

As long as he's not too one paced. We need some speed in the middle. Only Dow has the acceleration out of all our young mids.

True getting Martin for nothing certainty helps. Gives another opportunity to get a young gun.
