Pick Swap Completed

[DazzaTys]

It’s fair to be critical. Weren’t Dixon/Ryder the missing pieces? Now we’re being told to standby the club as they rebuild with youth.

Not really another club. It's the same one we traded with

Who need the points for their academy players.

But you know, some people can’t think past the next move...

 

[VineValerian]

I'm happy with 3 first rounders.
IMHO Port should not consider losing any of them.
If we want to trade up a "couple" of spots, use 18 and one of our 50's picks. Trading any higher than to 10 (or 9 at absolute best) would see us lose too much.

wasn't everyone saying last year that it was a goldmine draft and next years would be s**t?

now we're here and everyone says hit this draft hard because next years is ****ed

is this just boomerspeak or something

This year is s**t if you want anything other than mids and flankers (which if we really do know talent pool two years out why did we use three 1sts on mids/flankers last year?)

Next year might be great with a diversity of player ability but has a lot of pre-alignment to clubs

For every club that trades into 2020 there is another trading out of it.

Problem with this is, we traded out 2 first rounders, 10 and presumably 10-12 next year. Both earlier then the earliest pick this year. We also added in 29, Howard and Ryder. For what will be after academy bids 14, 18 and 20.

If you go by points value that values Howard at less then nothing, effectively we paid StKilda to take him.

2019 was always looking average/below average, mostly due to the thinness in KPP stocks this year

2020 is looking very poor and has looked that way for a couple years now.

Not only average but many of the top 30 in 2020 are already allocated to clubs - NGA & F/S - including at least 2 for us!!

 

[sobrave]

so we traded away a bunch of stock for 3 low first round picks in a crappy draft? woohoo!

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

14 18 and 20 lol what a joke

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Trade 18 and 20 for like 10-12 imo

 

[bomberclifford]

Didn't we start with 10?

 

[RossFC]

Next year when we have pick 10 again, we should trade Wines + 10 for 16 + 18. Then trade 16 + 18 for pick 10.

 

[Jonts]

Didn't we start with 10?

Yep traded 10 Howard, Ryder and a future 4th for 12, 18 and future 3rd

 

[sobrave]

sack hinkley
and sack cripps
and sack whoever else is responsible

 

[raptalia]

We may be thinking of something like swapping picks#12 and #18 for Melbourne's picks #10 and #28. That would leave us with #10, #16 and #28. Still seems too much to pay just to advance two spots in the pecking order. I suppose a play for a higher pick is a bridge too far? Maybe Freo's #8 pick is a more logical target? Whatever the ploy I hope we are not being too cute.

i guess we will have to wait until Draft night to find out.

That won’t happen.
If we did that then someone bids in mead at 20 or so and we lose 28.

 

[TeeKray]

We do love the number 10.

Finish 10th, #10 wins the B&F, pick 10, 10 year coach ...
