AFL.com has us getting Tim Tarranto with our first pick.

Also linked us to English and Marshall who dont really fit a need for us.

Do rookie elevations count as draft picks? Could be a loophole.

Other option is under age players who slid, you never know who will be available. From memory guys like Pavlich and Jonathon Brown were missed in drafts before going high the next year when they were a year older.

Yeah rookie upgrades count to the 3 minimum picks

I find it hard to believe any medical team could suck that badly; they are still professionals.

Obviously recruited from Perth.

Callum Twomey has us taking Tim Tarranto. Is he any good? I haven't been able to watch a 30 second highlights package to make up my mind yet.

Top 7 talent. Very good.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

It's also possible that GC's medical team just sucks. I mean, JOM, Swallow and Ablett (plus some others I've probably forgotten) have been out for two years with one injury each. It's not unusual for a club to have a player struggling with a degenerative injury but three? That's either tremendously bad luck or poor handling of the injuries.

Swallow and JOM are knee injuries but not your run of the mill acls.
Ablett is just an idiot who doesn't believe in modern medicine. Pretty sure he wouldn't take proper pain relief or even anti inflammatories which more than half recovery time post surgery.

Really? Jeez, bet they wish they'd put a clause in that massive contract about that.

It's madness. He's a solid built bloke who suffered a shoulder dislocation in round 12/13. Came back round 1 and still didn't have full movement and was clearly in pain.

It's really a shame because the world needs him out there. Beautiful to watch.

I'll cease supporting this club if we pick English with our first rounder. No more project ruckmen!

 

[Dark Sharks]

How do you 'cease' something when you're not doing it in the first place?

Vozzo on 6pr just then:

Petrie sounds like it's happening
Will be looking for a small forward through the draft and/or rookie draft
Butler not guaranteed a contract for next year, sitting down with his management on Monday
Didn't have enough cap room for Ballantyne after taking Mitchell
Will take best available talent at 12 and then look at needs, mentioned a couple of times we need more quality tall players, and they're pretty happy with the young midfielders we already have. Gave the impression we could be going tall at the draft.

Probably worth listening to the interview as I was only listening in the background so my summary could be way off

 

[matt_bas]

Mods can we merge the draft and trade thread?

Christ that's concerning

 

[WCErevival]

There's not many decent talls available this year anyway is there? Good chance we still take a mid

 

[SpaceClef]

Great, hopefully we stock up on forwards

 

[WCE_phil]

I would suggest on current projections the best tall talents logue,marshall,english would be lucky to have 1 make the top 10 tall projects in next years draft.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Petrie would offer more than Vardy next year and Vardy doesn't really have a role in our side going into the future IMO.

If we pick up Petrie he wouldn't be the odd selection, but Vardy would be (even though he was essentially free).

 

[archiemoses]

Can someone explain why we are so tight on the cap. I hope its just a timing issue where we have front loaded and have plenty of room in years to come, otherwise there is some serious mismanagement of our player contracts. No way this list should be topping out the cap.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Going by Vozzo on 6pr and Cal article on first pick to me it screams
Shai Bolton.
He is the best talent unless Taranto slides which is unlikely doubt north would let him slide to us
I honestly cant see us picking up English I think he will end up at gold coast.
Todd Marshall ive been told we have hardly spoken to, so i suggest that means we have very little interest in.

We have better players than people think. Our talls are a lot better than most teams. Naitanui, Kennedy, Gov, Lycett would all be on decent money. EMac signed an expensive contract rumoured to be around 600k. The older guys like Lecras, Priddis, Hurn, Wellingham would be on a bit. Shuey and Gaff would have upped their contracts recently.

It all adds up an the current cap is only 10.5 million.

Going tall I think he means rookie draft where we will look at a couple of ruckman.
Petrie and Cameron on the vic kid

Do you even lift?

 

[Farang83150]

In 2018 there midfield will be JOM, Mitchell, smith, hartung, Shiels, O'rourke and Langford. Not nearly as imposing as what it was

You seem to have forgotten fyfe!
