Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
pick 10 seems about right for a guaranteed midfielder half back who is fast and has a hardness to his game.Is this a joke?
Show a bit of class in your posting pal- you don't have to agree but play the ball not the man superstarWow you're a joke.. no way is he worth remotely anyway around the pick 5-10 mark.
2nd rounder at best. Explain to me what that he has actually done to be even considered a pick around that mark that you think he's worth?
That would be stupidity. You would likely have a pick around the 6 or 7 mark.i would trade our the first rounder for zak jones if he is available, at 24, prime age.
And his biggest strength is his speed and willingness to take the game on, right? So he is poor at finishing the best part of his game.Underrated footballer
Perception is he isn’t a good kick but that’s mainly cos he’s kicking at top pace. When balanced he is fine
Adam Saad was a 2nd rnd pick and I would have him over Jones every day of the week. Mid 2nd rnd at best for Jones. That said, wouldn't want him at all at NorthAnd his biggest strength is his speed and willingness to take the game on, right? So he is poor at finishing the best part of his game.
From a Melbourne perspective our first pick will probably be 2/3, which I think is massive overs for Jones, though we do desperately need more players with genuine pace.
A pick in the 15-25 range would be fair IMO.

Taking at 15 , good age bracket and cemented 22.Uncontracted.
Melbourne and St Kilda said to be keen.
I would think he'd be worth roughly an early 2nd.
Thoughts?
Sounds like he is saints bound. Reports on the radio this week that we've gone cold on Jones.Uncontracted.

Acres is apparently on the table although assumption has been to WA as part of Hill deal.I hope he stays. Swans need his type and age bracket more than any other club. If he does go to Saints, I hope it's not for a pick but for a swap of players with Dunstan or Acres involved.

Acres to Sydney might make more sense though
Rumour is we are chasing crouch (no idea how we could swing hill & crouch though), if so Dunstan would be surplus.
Wouldn't do that swap. Exposed form vs potential but O'Brien is only just finished year two.pick 10 seems about right for a guaranteed midfielder half back who is fast and has a hardness to his game.
Would Carlton swap Lachie OBrien for Zak Jones? Bloody Oath
Nick Blakey fell to 10 with academy bidding but you would swap Jones who went at 9 and Caldwell at 11 for Jones in a heartbeat even though both have potential.
I reckon draft picks can be overrated a touch.
Just my opinion on draft picks.
That is my thoughts exactly.Don’t think st kilda would have the right pick to give sydney. Unless we could give a future second rounder and acres ? or even Newnes but I can’t see sydney being interested.
Where he was taken in the draft is irrelevant now.How is he worth a 2nd rounder, lol.
Was taken in the first and he's shown he was absolutely worth that at least, if not more.
Aggressive & physical player who's one of the few players in the comp that actually has standout pace and is a decent player as well.
Kicking leaves a bit to be desired but other qualities more than make up for it.
Also, there's already a thread on him.
Happy to use Martin Pick on him.Where he was taken in the draft is irrelevant now.
Saying he is worth a first is a broad statement. Could be between 1 and 18.
He may land Sydney a very late first, but I don't think he's worth any more than that.
Likely a pick between 17-25 IMO. Just not damaging enough to get them any more than that He also doesn't find a lot of contested of contested footy for a player that doesn't use the footy well.
