I’m an idiot sorryPick 6 isn’t guaranteed to get one of them.
pick 6 won’t then be pick 6 will it once the Dogs jump up?
McDonald, Thilthorpe, Phillips, DGB and Hollands = 5 players. + JUH = 6 players
If JUH gets a bid, Pick 6 = Pick 7
That Essendon pick misses out.
Because it will mean Hamish has stuck true to his ratings if he thinks Jamarra is the best player in this draft.Why will Crows fans celebrate their club relegating their first pick?
Crows fans Applauding bidding on a player your club won’t even get? I know it’s been a tough year for Crows fans, but Jesus Christ.You'll laugh and the Crows' supporters will applaud.
And Jamarra will have the dreaded pick 1 badge and all the s**t that goes with it if he doesn't live up to his pick 1 ranking.Crows fans Applauding bidding on a player your club won’t even get? I know it’s been a tough year for Crows fans, but Jesus Christ.
Not sure about applauding but we are likely to bid pick 1 because we believe he is the best player.Crows fans Applauding bidding on a player your club won’t even get? I know it’s been a tough year for Crows fans, but Jesus Christ.
I think he underestimates the marketing value of Pick 1 to the Crows as a club.Crows fans Applauding bidding on a player your club won’t even get? I know it’s been a tough year for Crows fans, but Jesus Christ.
There is 0 good reason to bid at 1 as Dogs can still trade to get in the points to cover the rest. Even if JUH is worth pick 1 it's not going be a disadvantage. Besides look at the last few pick 1s who all ended up rising star winners or could of been rising star winners. The stigmata and pressure of pick 1 on a kid has become a non-issue.
I don’t think the critical Adelaide media will give two sh*ts if the player you guys select is at #2. If he struggles there is no way he will get any leeway. And nor should he. It won’t make any difference at all if he’s pick 1 or 2.And Jamarra will have the dreaded pick 1 badge and all the sh*t that goes with it if he doesn't live up to his pick 1 ranking.
Yeah the bleeding from the hands, feet and eyes is tough on the number one picksThere is 0 good reason to bid at 1 as Dogs can still trade to get in the points to cover the rest.

I think the exact opposite. It’s an anomaly that won’t happen again, no real point in Adelaide making a stand about it. All clubs know that the likes of JUH, Taryn Thomas, Quaynor etc has been a dum situation.My feeling is he is going to get bid on 1.
Reason Last year of NGA academy top 20. Adelaide will definitely make it a memorable one after not getting Crouch combo pick 2.
If Adelaide bids on JUH, won't their actual pick 1 player miss out on the $20k?
A bid at pick 1 only results in an 81 point deficit - it doesn't effect our 2021 round 1 unless it falls in the teens, and even then it's only one spot.Dogs don't need that much more points. Just trade like 41 and 42 or even 42 and 54 for something earlier. Dogs have been trading futures anyway.
Who cares, that's peanuts compared to making a statement to the VFL. If we bid on JUH, we still get the same player at pick 2.If Adelaide bids on JUH, won't their actual pick 1 player miss out on the $20k?
I look forward to how easy our membership sell will be next year.If Adelaide bids on JUH, won't their actual pick 1 player miss out on the $20k?
You would think it will have a big boost. Memberships would've dropped if we rolled over for Dunkley. I can just see itI look forward to how easy our membership sell will be next year.
A finals team that picked up Treloar and the best kid in the draft post-season.
You forgot the best part - where JUH stands on someone's head to take another MOTY contender!You would think it will have a big boost. Memberships would've dropped if we rolled over for Dunkley. I can just see it
Dunkley the hard inside mid, handballs to Treloar who bangs it into F50 where JUH slots it through the big sticks
