The idea trading of WC's 2017 first rounder on two of Gold Coast's 2016 2nd rounders is interesting as it involves a bit of gambling. I had a look at how it might work out using the new points system.

GC 2016 2nd round picks (currently):
21: 878 points
22: 845 points
24: 785 points
27: 703 points

The least of those, 24 and 27, equate to Pick 9 (1469 points), so, assuming a swap as listed above, GC need us to finish 10th or lower next year for this to be a good deal for them.

The risk to GC here is offset by the fact they have two earlier 2nd rd picks to nab any of their targets before us, so the question is -would we take this gamble?

I don't see us sliding far - not good enough for a flag without serious improvement in the midfield sure, but surely not lower than 10th.

So how about it - 2017 1st rounder for 2016's 24 and 27?

20km or more? Now ur full of it.

Basketball is very taxing on body. Especially on knees worse than afl.

But we r talking about why flying itself is detrimental. The science of it.

For example if u play on concrete than grass, ur knees will suffer more due to less give and therefore higher dynamic load through joints. See that's science.

Now flying is more detrimental because....
From 2005:
"The average distance covered in the games across all positions was 12.5km ±1.7km. This
is in contradiction to previous reports that have stated running distances of some players
were found to be upwards of 20km a game. Although these large distances may have
occurred in the past, they would appear to be atypical of a modern AFL game. The
shorter distances recorded (12-13km) may be due to the higher rotational strategy applied
to ensure that a high work rate is maintained during actual playing time. This indicates
that while the absolute distance covered in modern day AFL may be lower than
previously assessed, the intensity during on field playing periods may in actual fact be
increasing as the game, and capacity of players develops."


"One of the striking outcomes from this investigation was the similarity across the three
positions for many general work variables. Previously it had been considered that
midfielders cover the greatest distance during games, however these results confirm that
in the modern game where players are required to have greater utility, the distance
covered is similar regardless of position. The average speed, which is also similar across
positions, was lower than previously described by other researchers. However, when the
data is scrutinised more closely it is the nature of the work that midfielders undertake and
the greater exertion required that separates the midfield demands from other positions.
Despite the probable higher fitness levels of most midfielders, it is likely that midfielders
will need more frequent substitutions than forwards and defenders in order to ensure
game intensity remains high. This requirement is confirmed as this is a tactic used by
AFL clubs at present in order to maintain the high work rate of midfielder"

I've only said it 5 times before but i would give both this years and next years first rounders for all 4 of their second rounders this year. With them set to trade omeara and prestia they likely wont even need their second round picks after they secure compensation for them as well. Go into the draft with 5 picks between 20 and 30.

I was talking about how those two resigned today
It's been mentioned on pretty much every page of this thread since 8am. Now it's become a running joke.

Hope that clears everything up for you and you can go in peace.
