Jones is close to Greg Phillips' size at the same age.

Maybe only 1cm difference in height.

Interesting:-

Jones is 185 cm / Phillips is 188 cm

 

[Nihilus]

Why would they even want jones? They need kpp and mids. You can find defenders with mid draft to rookie picks.

half the last decades all-Aus small and medium defenders were probably rookie draft picks and the rest 2nd rounders onwards.

they got a couple of 196cm KPP last year:- Worrell & McAsey

they might get another KPP / Ruck this year:- Thilthorpe

If they get a 2nd pick for Brouch then they could get either:- Hollands or Phillips

and it looks like they will get Edwards, Borlase & Newchurch very cheaply (with picks 44, 48 & 60)

so that will leave for them picks 9, 20, 31 and the compensation pick they will get for Atkins going to the Suns (maybe either 2nd round or 3rd round and maybe after their pick for those rounds)

Remember we can match if they try and use pick 20, 31 or the compensation pick.

the problem pick is their pick 9 which was GWS (it is a pick that will go Higher due to Freo being 254pts in deficit).. it will be pick 8 which is 1551pts

the next problem is with our picks we have a 116pt deficit from last year we have to make up

we also have the problem with a few compensation picks being given out this year which pushes back our picks (so the draft points we have get lower and lower) at this stage the cows could get 2 (with BCrouch & Atkins going to other clubs) and their will probably be other clubs

the final problem is we cant go into debt for 2021 especially for the father sons & Academy players we have then ...

We will have to find a way to get more draft picks

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol they have a massive dose of offended going on. Everything about getting one up on Port.

Must be an ambassador thing. Just enjoy your three-peat in season junk time you sad sack bunch of losers.

Today someone called up AA and told them Port's combined losses this year totalled 119 points. Of course it was horseshit.

Lol 2007 was 13 years ago. Imagine still hanging your hat on it. They seem more worried about it than us.

Lienert and Bonner will sort it.

Take a read of the draft thread. REH did some calculations which show that even if they bid at pick 9 we have a 2nd round pick worth of additional points beyond what is needed to match.

Absolutely nothing to worry about.

 

[RangaInTeal]

I wonder how they would feel if they bid pick 9 and we did not match. I know we want Jones, but do we rate him highly enough to match there, and do they really want to risk using pick 9 on a HBF player.

A player like Jones, yes. If it came for Taj, probably not.

If they do bid 9 for Jones, we then Trade Bonner and Lienert for 2nd and 3rd’s after the fact, live trading and watching Sydney exploit this, we would have learnt. The deals will be done prior, just needing to be executed.

If Borlase rest pretty well at the Combine, I wouldn’t be against spending a Second on him.

Interview with Lachie Jones up on AFL.com

He is an NGA player and someone has already put it in that thread.

Most of the Lachie Jones stuff is in there where it belongs and the the stuff on Jase Burgoyne and Taj Schofield belongs in here. Just keeps it easy to follow things and if you have to do a search for stuff.

Edited after posts moved.

 

[Grave Danger]

Darn, Lachie is out injured this week. He spoke about an ankle in that AFL interview and said he'd be right, but with the Torrens-Peckers locked in for top two they've not risked him. Good.

No Jones no Eagles. Centrals beat them.

Rest up lad.
And if we do happen to get him and he is AFL ready who would he replace round 1 ?

He would be a plug and play defensive small, so unless we have a few injuries I'm not sure he'd be a walk up start into our team. Burton, Houston and DBJ are locks. He would probably be ahead of Bonner and Mayes though so would be the first called up in the event of an injury.

Last 10 years
2011 Pick 6 Wingard, plays rd 1 2012
2012 Pick 7 Wines, plays rd 1 2013
2018 Pick 5 Rozee, plays rd 1 2019
2018 Pick 10 turns to 12 after NGA bids Butters, plays rd 1 2019

If he is a top 10 pick and hasn't had surgery and doesn't get injury in the preseason he probably plays Rd 1.

Injuries and form loss happens in the preseason.

When was the last time an AFL side picked the same 22 or 21 when it was 21 or 20 when it was 20, in the last game of Year X and for the first game of Year X+1??

If DBJ, Houston and Burton are all healthy come week 1 next season, would you still expect Jones to get a spot ahead of one of them though? I get that form, injuries etc always play a role in the rotation of selections on any given week. But strictly speaking, our small defenders are one of our bigger strengths in the team, and at full strength, I'd be sceptical that Jones would get a game ahead of the three aforementioned.

when has Port Adelaide not picked up injuries in late January or early February when training really cranks up and the competitive match simulation starts? then there are injuries in the preseason games.

 

[PowerBaz]

Is this kid guaranteed to Port from the sounds of it? Surely the neighbours want to snatch anything from us.

We have a guarantee to choose whether we want him. Once another club bids on him, we then have the choice whether to match that bid or not (with a discount for being part of our Academy). Unless the bid comes stupidly early it is highly likely he will be on our list next year.

The draft isn’t compromised because of father sons like Taj

It’s compromised because there’s a tonne of guys like Ugle-Hagan who was always going to be in a football system are tied to clubs, because the expan ngas get players like Blakey, and because everyone’s draft picks are going to be pushed back a dozen picks when free agents get oversized contracts.

F/s is the least of the problem.

I get the logic behind acadamies for QLD and NSW. But largely I agree with your post. It’s ridiculous that clubs can align already talented players with their academies.

I would introduce a rule that no bids can be matched for first round picks for both FS and all academy picks.
