...artists, and that's without mentioning King Kunta not making it either. the two biggest rap songs of the last decade.
Covered in Chrome at #4, beautiful. can't argue with the top 5 though I have never enjoyed STIUTK, ever. can't wait for all the "BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE WOMEN" comments to come...
...1. Low (9.5/10)
2. Hunky Dory (9.5)
3. "Heroes" (9)
4. Station to Station (9)
5. Lodger (8.5)
6. Scary Monsters (8.5)
7. Aladdin Sane (8)
8. Blackstar (7.5)
9. Outside (7.5)
10. Ziggy Stardust (7.5)
#4, 7, 8 & 9 have been getting absolutely hammered by me these past weeks, so could rise.
Here's a thought ... Dees don't make a bid on Green at #3 on draft night and GWS are dragging their feet on offering us something decent for pick #4, say.
We then make a trade with Swans - our #4 & #45 for their #5 and #32 - that would let Swans either bid and get Green or pick another player...
Yeah, I think it's helpful to be clear why that can't happen.
By us making a bid for Green at #4, pick #4 is being used at that point and cannot be traded anymore.
I think what is likely to happen is as soon as pick #3 has been finalised and Green was not bid on, GWS and us will be sorting out...
...with in terms of trade assets and list structure, the right moves were made for the most part.
Even if you try to improve 2013 and draft Bont at #4, Matt Crouch at #18 and Merrett at #19 it could easily have been Kade Kolojashnij #4, Billy Hartung #18 and Jarrad Jansen #19 and we would be...
...premium is worth it.
Melbourne #3 for GWS #6 + 2020 1st round pick: that's a huge premium to get ahead, then presuming Adelaide bid on Green @ #4, we'd use all of this year's picks, plus next year's second & third round and still owe on him!
Melbourne #3 for GWS #6 + 2020 2nd round pick: a...
...6 senior list vacancies (Douglas, Otten, Betts, Jacobs, Keath, Greenwood, JJ - less Frampton). We have the following draft picks to work with: #4, #23, #28, #37, #45, and #49 (plus picks in the 100+ range). Assuming we upgrade Murphy and (possibly) Strahan, then we have more picks than...
...2 years.
We have cleared out most of our older players (we were the 3rd oldest list) & loaded up on draft picks for our best ever draft hand - #4, #23, #28, #45, #49... to bring in the next gen.
Also, we have brought in future picks for next year's draft for Edwards & Borlase.
We have lost...
...out, and only 1 senior player in. We're still waiting on Knight and Keath.
To replace them, we currently have the following 2019 draft picks: #4, #23, #28, and #49, plus picks in the 100+ range.
So far we're OK - 5 out, 1 in, 4x "decent" picks. However, we're now treading a very fine line.
...- then we'll have egg on our face for having him in our grasp and not selecting him. Possible.
3. We are still planning to move up to #3 or 4, where I think we need to be to get ahead of a bid. Melbourne may not want Green, because also for them he's a terrible list fit, but that doesn't...
...round selections on our playing list, noting that Gallucci, Fogarty and Doedee played virtually no part in the 2019 disaster. What we need is elite talent, to build a team around. Our best chance of getting this marquee player is with pick #4, not rolling the dice on picks in the mid-late...
Don't worry, I respect and understand your position on this.
I'd just prefer;
#2, #4, #6, #8, #60, #62, #64 and #66
over
#20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26 and #27
I'd rather four potential A-grade talents and four speculative later picks over eight less potential players but higher rated...
...as previously proposed.
First, let's look at the picks themselves:
The way I see it is this... We paid pick #9 (2019) and #19 (2018) for pick #4, so we need to be improving on this - not settling for anything less.
GWS have picks #12 and #18 in this year's draft, which is weaker than...
...#4 #28 Jacobs (value 2711 points, that's a big points benefit to Adelaide)
GWS have: #4 #28 #40 #50 (from Hawks for Patton) #60.
Selection at #4, match Green bid @ #5 requires 1502 points, expends all those picks, with 22 points (pick 72) residual.
To carry the 5 picks we'd need an...
...target is better than a likely target next year. Or, we'd have to sacrifice a player to get that early. Pick #12 and a player for pick #3 or #4, just to keep pick #18 and the lower picks to match. So, it would be who would Melbourne or Adelaide value to do such a deal. Bonar could be one...
...are needed or it won't matter what mids we draft.
I'm sure Hamish will not be entering the draft looking to expressly take a midfielder with pick 4, all well and good if he thinks a midfielder still on the table is it but I'd be certain he'll not be influenced and take the BEST AVAILABLE...
Right now, we need to find enough decent (i.e. sub-100) draft picks with which to replace the players we're losing.
Our current draft picks are #4, #22, #28. Douglas & Otten have both been delisted, so we're getting nothing for them.
My best guess re: trading & FA compensation:
Jacobs - Band...
...picks, two of which were end of first rounders (though the players they then drafted with those are basically all gone from GWS, e.g. Hoskin-Elliott at #4, Sumner at #10, O'Rourke at #2 and Plowman at #3). GC netted at least two first round picks from trading away players taken from the Qld...
...be the next best player in the draft.
Pick #3, GWS - Tom Green
I see Melbourne making their bid here, which will force GWS to use pick 12.
Pick #4, Melbourne - Caleb Serong
Obviously it hasn't been a good year for Melbourne, but if you look at them on paper, it feels like the building...
I fear for your sanity when we eventually do a proper one then.
Pick #4, #23, #62, #72 & trading in Alex Morgan & Nathan Hrovat is not a rebuild.
We cut so deep into our playing list that year with the earth shattering trade of Sam Gibson for pick 91.
I know you struggle to deal with it, but...
...on pick #8, or they could try and use it in a trade for Daniher, whilst holding onto pick #4. Most likely though, it will be Daniher for pick #4, plus an exchange of later round picks.
We'll either take pick #4 into the draft, or we'll package it with Fantasia (assuming he wants to go home)...
Smith now averages 50% more runs than Tendulkar did at test level at #4, in Tendulkar's preferred position.
He's 28% better than the next best #4 in history.
Tendulkar averaged a 100 every 6.25 innings @ #4
Smith averages a 100 every 3.615 innings @ #4.
If Smith played the same amount of...
