There are no other scenarios that fit.

3. Sammy Power is your son. (more likely than 2).

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Midfield- given they brought in some key players, missed aspects of the draft due to Marra and Darcy, will focus on getting players with run and speed to boost the midfield rotation

So who's realistically available to us that'll bring run and speed into the midfield?

 

[mattwa]

Get Watson should be the focus

 

[weltschmerz]

Darcy Wilson. If we trade up, Colby McKercher.

 

[Struggle]

Very unlikely but they should get in Nobles ear so see if he's open to a move it after being dropped for finals. Would be a great Duryea replacement

[Ash1337]

10 17 & future 3rd for 4 and 31. A bit much points wise but a good pick back on a croft bid.

 

[doggies ftw]

Good shout, I’d be very interested. Seems unlikely though

 

[Munnez]

Darcy Wilson. If we trade up, Colby McKercher.

If we do happen to get Wilson I hope he can follow a McCluggage trajectory.

 

[Mojorisin]

I wouldn't mind the Wilson combo and pair Darcy and Billy.

 

[CarnTheScray]

He’s being dropped because Melbourne match up well against Collingwood, he has been down on form but Melbourne also have the players to expose the Pies if they play both Noble and Quaynor and others all at once in the side.

 

[hutchy31]

I think it's a very interesting move tbh. According to AFL.com, Noble has played the last 83 games, which is the seventh longest streak in the comp. He'll have played Melbourne and other decent/similar teams several times during that stretch obviously, and has kicked an important goal or two as well as launched their transition from defense pretty well. I think he's a better defender than Markov and he'll feel pretty stiff to miss out.

It might not work, but it's the type of ballsy move that a confident, high-performing coach makes to try and either match up well against the strengths of an individual opponent or to shake up a team that has been underperforming by their own high standards in the last third of the season. I'm pretty jealous right now because I can't imagine that happening at my club.

And Noble himself would not even be entertaining for one second to leave the club because of it.

Would we do it?

And grab McKercher with the pick?

Could mean we grab the Tassie kids, McKercher and sanders (GC pick)

100% would do it.

Will likely request a trade next year when he is out of contract. We will have little leverage then

 

[bresker]

I’d bite their hand off. They must have balloons for brains.

 

[adogsfan5]

Sounded like we’re going the youth path and also an intercept defender.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Something that I've always wondered is if we could have held off signing players like Poulter, O'Donnell and Williams till after the draft to keep their list spots open?
I guess if it was an option the club would do it

Why would we keep JOD's list spot open when's pretty much jumped into #2 KPD on our list, even if it was an option? He deserves to be elevated from Cat B, and well before the draft.

[doggies ftw]

I wouldn’t take pick 3 for Baz to be honest, likely pick 4 or even 6 with Walter & Sanders off the board and a good chance we don’t even get McKercher, don’t think we’re in any place to be swapping bonafide mids for a Duursma or Watson type

 

[flipper83]

So we can use more picks to match a bid on Croft. I was only wondering if we could have waited till after the draft to promote him to the senior list. It would have meant nothing different contract wise

I’d do the Bailey Smith

deal if we could also turn 10 and 17 into 4. Go in with 3 and 4 (or what ever they end up being) plus Croft.

Hawthorn would be absolutely silly to do it.
