List Mgmt. Pick 9

[Matty411]

There goes any shot we had at Freo. They've done a deal with the Dees and now have 7/8 so will net him even if we (which we still should to keep them honest) bid on Henry.

 

[Ollo]

Anyone have any insight as to who Freo is likely to take at 8? What are their needs?

 

[Matty411]

Best available? I'd say Robertson/Stephens at 7/8 if I were a betting man (providing Crows don't pounce on Stephens first). One local Larke Medalist and one outside gun ready to go.

If that is the case, seems we are more likely to have access to our desired player in Serong as per TCP's rumour.

Twomey reporting that they like Serong also.

I actually think this improves the chances of Kemp at #9.

Not sure who else they will be looking at but I am pencilling in Robertson at one of those two selections.

I'm feeling a Robertson/Stephens combo.

It will be either Robertson/Stephens or/ Robertson/Serong IMO.

Hoping for the latter.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Don't rule out Serong/Stephens
Or even Stephens/Stephens

 

[Blue__Balls]

1. GC - Rowell
2. GC - Anderson
3. Mel - Jackson
4. GWS - Young/Ash
5. GWS - Green (matching bid)
6. Syd - Flanders
7. Ade - McAsey
8. Fre - Robertson
9. Fre - ?
10. Car - ?
11. Mel - ?

Stephens, Kemp and Serong in some configuration? They look to be the clear next tier. Unless Melbourne are shuffling back due to their interest in Weightman.

Would absolutely expect us to bid on Henry at our pick now.

Yes. And I am guessing this is exactly why Fremantle have done the trade.

They may not have extracted maximum value out of the pick but they have done exceptionally well here IMO. Two top 10 prospects + Henry for effectively nothing is a great result.

 

[Eiffel 65]

Not sure who else they will be looking at but I am pencilling in Robertson at one of those two selections.

Ash, Young, Serong and Stephens will probably be the names in their mix for picks 7 & 8.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

It looks like Kemp will be on the board at our pick. If not, it most likely means one of Stephens, Ash or Young have slipped through.

do you have a link?

 

[murphster]

Stephens is so slight of body tho and could be the next James Aish

He could also be the next Scotty Camporeale for us.

GWS don't get both Ash & Young at 4/ so add 1 of these 2 to the mix

 

[Ollo]

I think the suggestion was purely that they will take one of those two players. But you are absolutely correct that it opens those players up to the potential of falling to us.

Young looks such a good prospect and an incredible kick, but do we have space in our back line for him at 188cm given we already play Jones, Weitering, Marchbank and Plowman? I also think it's very unlikely he falls to us.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Just add the points up.

We come out 170 points ahead in a worst case scenario, which would be Pick 19. With GC already having a PP, it's actually 212 points ahead, for Pick 20.

The higher above 18th we finish the further ahead we come, although it doesn't matter too much at that point in time.

I'm not a fan of swapping our future second for one this year. I know next year's draft is "compromised", but that just means there are going to be a stack of clubs wanting second rounders to use on matching bids. Every chance we can use our second to good effect on the trade table next year.

Not many teams would be looking to match with early seconds. Picks in the 30-45 range is what we should be looking at. If we are trading out our second, trying to get back third rounders as steak knives is where the real value is.
It’s the teams with a hand like Richmond has this year who could benefit the most next year.

 

[bmaurizio]

If we hold our pick 9 comer draft night there should be one of Ash, Serong or Kemp available should Freo snaffle Henry and Robertson.
If we dangle the bait they're may well be, some interesting pick offers.

 

[Sin City]

Stephens is so slight of body tho and could be the next James Aish

Aish has been a brilliant on baller at every other level unfortunately. He is an on baller stuck in a back pocket's body, Menadue from Richmond has a similar problem. Stephens will be a career wing/high hf more like Polec

 

[murphster]

Simple, trade down with Cats, pick 9 and future 2nd for picks #14 and 17.....select Bergman and Pickett, and we'll be a happy lot of punters.

Don’t do that BH my heart just did a back flip, except Bulldogs at 13 are into Bergman, better trade for us would be with Port for12 & 18 but then if we take Bergman at 12 Dogs would take Pickett at 13 doh.

edit. An example would be trade our future second and 43 to Freo for their 22 and their future 3rd and 4th then on trade the future picks with maybe our future third and get back about 20 again next year.
You end up turning roughly ~24,~43 and ~43 into 22 and 22. Plus get the earlier pick this year that could be handy.

 

[Matty411]

If we keep 9, gotta feel Kemp is our guy. I'd love Stephens if he's there and maybe he will be high on our draft board. But I reckon with where we're at and how we've seen him close quarters in pre-season, we'll take the risk and he'll be top 5 in our list. Would probably take a Young to drop to us to make us reconsider.

As always, I'd LOVE to see what our current board is looking like.

 

[JuddgementDay]

1. GC - Rowell
2. GC - Anderson
3. Mel - Jackson
4. GWS - Young/Ash
5. GWS - Green (matching bid)
6. Syd - Flanders
7. Ade - McAsey
8. Fre - Robertson
9. Fre - ?
10. Car - ?
11. Mel - ?

Stephens, Kemp and Serong in some configuration? They look to be the clear next tier. Unless Melbourne are shuffling back due to their interest in Weightman.

Would absolutely expect us to bid on Henry at our pick now.

Now Freo has a choice of Young/ Ash; whoever GWS didn't pick up at #4

And Charlie has just decided to keep Kemp company in the injury ward

 

[Eiffel 65]

4. GWS - Ash
5. GWS - Green (matching bid)
6. Syd - Flanders
7. Ade - McAsey
8. Fre - Young
9. Fre - Serong
10. Fre - Henry
11. Car - ?
12. Mel - ?
13. Haw - ?
14. Port - ?

That would leave Stephens, Robertson and Kemp on the board.

That's a nice group to choose from.

Wonder if Port would make a play for Stephens, offering 14 & 20 for 11.

Interesting times ahead. It's definitely going to feel like a long wait until draft night.
