At pick 37 does he need to be that good or just a bloke that’s good enough to fit in a best 22. That’s how I see it at the moment we don’t need to find the best player in the draft at pick 37 we get him at pick one.


We need role players and blokes that possibly play 100-150 games with the later picks, role players and guys that will get everything out of themselves to carve out an AFL career. I guess the question would be could Hall fit that bill?

I have serious doubts

Curtain is worth giving up Sullivan, Smillie or smith at this stage midfielders take 3-5 years to really hit there straps if we are lucky 2025 the likes of Ginbey hewitt are good enough for the role full time

You won’t get much love for that in here but I love people that challenge the mainstream in here

 

[Avalor]

So much negativity on this board - I think the draft runs deep enough for us to end up with good picks. And for the doubters of Curtin's value, I really hope we make a deal with our F1 and grab him. None of this 'the grass is greener stuff' next year. Grab the talent now.

What’s the deal?

 

[ArdentEagle]

I'd rather us manufacture F1 into McKercher.

If we sold F1 for Curtin, we need extras. A double draft dip if you will. Curtin + O'Sullivan or Wilson ect.

Imagine if we traded F1 for 2 and WE ended up with first two picks. vic media would lose their collective minds.

 

[EagleMan87]

Sheed has an unwillingness to chase it ain’t just pace

He was dropped in 2018 for exactly that, and when he came in to replace Gaff showed improvement, but he's slid back since then.

Problem is, he's clearly sanctioned by the coaches to only run one-way.

They would really lose their minds when we still didn't pick Curtin

 

[twce13]

It's fanciful to think we would get offers for our F1 anywhere in the realm of what we received for Harley.

The team trading into present draft 99% of the time pays a premium to do so. Its for this reason we should shelf any idea of trading our F1. I dare say the suggestions made by Demon 16 are about as good we would get. You will very rarely maximise value in a pick swap when you're the team using future assets.

Be patient the rebuild doesn't need to be sorted in two weeks time.

Also I think the recruitment teams recent form in drafts should give us enough confidence to let the draft fall with our current hand. Its seemingly the type of draft where it's much of a muchness what picks you have after the first round.

 

[Obeanie1]

People need to get over Curtin… there is no point trading out F1 just to have him on the list now. Let him go east, develop, and bring him back with a first rounder when we climb back up the board a bit. He might be a bust anyway

And that may well be the best way forward in all likelihood.

Not sure its posters being super keen on him but it seems the club does rate him, just not as pick 1. And if they are will they do anything about it?

You’re not getting pick 2 for F1. There’s always a discount given to the future pick given there’s always the risk it ends up far higher

Never going to happen. People in the know reckon we wouldn’t have a buyer of a F1 inside the top 5 picks.

I didn't say anything about a direct swap mate but I wouldn't want to add too much more.
I really do rate McKercher though.

I think this is universally accepted by all on this board. It was more a comment on the visceral reaction of the Vic media rather than a suggestion that this particular trade was possible.

Not so sure mate., it actually could be in Norths interest to bank another very high pick for next year. They have a plethora of picks this year, they could keep the strong draft hand rolling while rebuilding at the same time.

Isn’t auto correct got me

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Good story on young Clay Hall. Comes across as pretty switched on and nice to see Ginbey has been helping him out a bit

Also this re the WA v Vic country game is topical




Not much love for him on this board but as an inside mid we could do worse with our 3rd pick if he’s still there. Or gamble on him still being there with our 4th which will be about 10 picks later

I don't dislike him, he's better kick than Demattia!
Happy if we took him at 3rd or 4th pick.

2nd too high for mine.

Stevens actually tested way better than expected at combine.
3.1 for 20m
Agility was better than average at 8.5 or so

Plus killer 2ker

I was leaning Hall but finding this out makes thing interesting

 

[archiemoses]

Yep and that is why he should be cut loose .

A few years ago sheed took up cycling to increase his endurance and all it has done is made him a soft latte sipping plodder .

Look at this campaigner this photo sums up our past 2 seasons

Reminds me of this..

We don’t have anything to add. F1 plus our 23 wouldn’t even do it

AFL draft top 30 — ranking the best prospects set to take the league by storm

The 2023 AFL draft is just around the corner, and a new crop of young guns are ready to make their mark at your club. Here are our rankings of the 30 best talents set to be drafted this year.

84 games not enough chances to find a spot in the side for a below average everything player?

He got a charity contract and it’s all he deserves.

Agreed. Waterman has had enough chances. He's a spud.

 

[Obeanie1]

If Curtin makes it to our first pick I reckon a fair trade would be along the lines of our 2023 first pick (6) and our 2024 second round pick (attached to Syd), for your first next year.

Maybe some steak knives moving around as well - but anything significantly more than that would be too risky for us given you could easily move up a couple of spots and we could easily move down more than a couple of spots.

I think you guys would have to concede a little to secure your man and give us the risk. No doubt we’d prefer to take a kid now rather than wait 12 months - and we’ll be trading Petty out next year so should have a couple of good picks anyway.

Nice openning lowball bid. Live picks 8 and a future pick close to 40?

For a top 2 pick?

Would you do thatif you were the Eagles? No......you wouldnt.

To be fair, this is the problem with live trading our future 1st on draft night. We will only be doing it if a player we really want (Curtin?) has slid and is available, and the club we are trying with will know it.

Unlikely to get a good deal in that situation
