Will do

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Wonder who the first dickhead on here will be to put him in a trade deal?

I'm not going to clog up the thread by quoting my entire post I wrote on this previously, but the TLDR is that the AFL draft pick valuations are flawed.

Picks 50-70 total 3145 points, and pick 1 is 3000 points. Will players 50-70 play more games than pick 1? Statistically it is as close as you can get to a certainty.

Would any team trade pick 1 for picks 50-70? No.

This is actually good timing as it is a sneak preview of my next List Management 101 post - Episode 6: The 3 types of list management currency

Actually, I believe your theory is flawed. I would suggest that if you went back to the drafts that occurred 10 years or more ago you would actually find that the total games played by the players drafted from 50 - 70 would actually be HIGHER than the player taken at number 1. There have been many players taken after pick 50 that have played over 200 games. James Hird isn't a bad example.

Honestly I knew he wasn't going anywhere but just the fact he shut it down on social media so vehemently. He didn't have to do that, not common to see from players. Feeling very proud to have him at the club right about now (and always)

He's a true blood.

I would trade Parker for a first rounder

 

[The King!]

Mind you it is a good way to throw everyone off the scent if he is going......

Parks....the epitome of our great club. Must be the next captain with that Instagram post!

I hope he becomes Captain next year tbh.

Great minds think alike.

That is exactly what I said

Are you by any chance in contact with the Sanhedrin?

Didn't Mitchell tell a Swans fan at the presentation he was staying.

Anyway this is huge it instantly changes the mindset of a club in crisis where everyone is unhappy. Solid move, give him the captaincy if Kennedy wants to step aside.

That is literally exactly what I said

I just had a thought that maybe picks 50-70 on average are playing more games than pick 1

Bit different to a post that’s online and everyone can see versus something you can easily deny (and maybe didn’t happen).

I'm surprised delistings haven't been announced yet, lots of clubs are extremely quick off the mark as soon as the season is over. Obviously there are reasons not to announce while the NEAFL side are still playing, but they are now finished as well

Probable involvement in player retention, delistings, trade and drafting decisions.

He has a say in those, but not the final decisions in any of them.

All of that is taken by the appropriate person(s) in the football department.

 

[BloodySwan]

Parker is a bloody champion. Statements like these make me pleased to have him at the club. Haters get ****ed

 

[The King!]

Lloyd’s overseas for what its worth’\

Maybe joining the Hong Kong side

We are the best at developing players. That's why we've been in finals 15 of last 16 years. It's also why we have the best rookie conversion. Our game plan when first used gave us an edge. No team was as fierce at the contest. But now most are. That edge is gone. Horses answer is to be better at being fierce at the contest- but there is only so far a team can improve at that before it gives no pay day. Also it's virtually impossible to have that high ferocity and maintain it. That's why we had 4 losses in a row followed by 4-5 wins and then a disappointing final. Can't maintain it!! Pretty clear. Players are being asked to maintain something they simply can't execute. That would cause discontent amongst players and in all liklihood has. At the same time we've ceased to be a destination club. When was the last time we were nominated by high end player? Answer: Buddy. The other players in competition likewise recognise our game plan is dead and no longer want to attach.

I feel we do need to change or the potential is it will get ugly.

Nailed it.

No just wanted to be the first dickhead that Mick was talking about

I wasn't responding in a serious fashion. Though I do reckon it happened just to appease the lady and make her go away.
