Been scrolling through the pages this last week or so to try find stories/rumours that maybe haven't made it mainstream, have to say I'm not seeing a lot...
Is it fair to say all we've heard that actually seems to have any real legs is.....?
1) we're trying to outbid other clubs for shiel with...
Probably setting myself up to be shot down here, but who'd look at drafting Hartung at 45? Perhaps feels a bit of a waste when you consider we could've traded down to a later pick and still probably get him, or even better we could've not signed up wright/minch/etc and then just signed him as a...
Bishop is there any way you can see Dow sliding to saints? Unlikely but doesn't seem impossible to me...
1. LDU
2. Rayner/Cerra
3. Rayner/Cerra
4. Stephenson
5. Brayshaw
6. Naughton
7. Dow
Am I dreaming?
I feel like only a month or so ago that was the sort of range most had Dow going anyway...
apologies if i've missed this but has anyone got their hands on the inside-footy draft publication that came out this week (i think) and if so is there a phantom draft in their or any predictions/intel related to our picks?
Bishop what are you hearing/your inklings on saints 7/8 combo? I'm surprised not to see Clark in the conversation so much, would've thought he suits the way our coaches like our mids to play to a tee, and fills a need with his pace/athleticism and skill.
KM how likely is it that 2 of brayshaw/coffield/ brander/naughton go top 6, so a top 5 gun mid (rayner/cerra/LDU/dow) slides to Saints at 7? Long shot?
Hey KM, if freo and cwood go naughton/brander or naughton/coffield at 5 and 6, who of cerra or Stephenson is more likely to slide to the saints at 7? Do you think this is a realistic chance?
It's Tomlinson. I don't like MG playing these games with us but appreciate the tid bits of info anyway so guess I can't complain with him bring all cryptic about it... But on twitter he gave a clue "20" in response to someone's question of who we were after. Tomlinson wears number 20.
Gotta presume you're referring to tomlinson. Wish I could say I'm excited but really don't know if he's that good, as long as we don't overpay will be a reasonable move.
Got any word on likelihood of the pick upgrade MG? That's what I'm really hoping for... Need that gun mid...
For those playing at home, I've done the numbers on trading up the order with the points system (I know the system isn't perfect, but it's a useful guide).
If trading with Brisbane (pick 1)...
7 + 8 = 1 + 56
If trading with GC (pick 2)...
7 + 8 = 2 + 28
If trading with Carlton (pick 3)...
7 +...
Would guess this is something with carlton and dependent on what they get from adelaide for Gibbs.
In all likelihood, maybe 3 + 16 for 7 + 8 plus some later/future minor pick swaps.
Am I on the right track MG?
I for one would be very happy with this sort of result.
Didn't get and trade news other than what I said about likely keeping the picks. Did hear one thing that might break a few hearts, Lachie Weller very slim chance to every come join us. His gf and him have bought a house in freo and they love the surf/beach life up there. He's also the coach's...
Other news from the bnf tonight (very un-newsworthy night I'm afraid) was stuv looking very lean. Seems to have shed the extra kegs, let's hope that's an indicator of good things to come.
I don't know why any of us think tomlinson is a possibility. Ameet was asked directly about him on trade radio and didn't just play a straight bat, my hearing of it was pretty much a respectful "no, we're not going after him". Purple makes shit up half the time and this imo is just another...
From a source high up at the bnf tonight, "it will have to be something very very good to trade pick 7/8, we really like the kids we can get at those picks..."
If this sloane business is for real, this is how I could see us getting it done...
STK: IN Sloane OUT pick 8, future 2nd
CARL: IN pick 17, future 2nd OUT Gibbs
ADE: IN Gibbs, pick 8 OUT Sloane, pick 17
Fair for all parties I think. We get Sloane and hopefully Cerra or a good mid with pick 7.
If we end up going to the draft as it looks we might, we need to trade up to a top 3 pick. Rayner, LDU and Cerra are next level - any of whom would step straight into our team and have the potential to be big within 2-3 years on an afl list.
My hope is rockliff leaves brissy (would be happy if...
It's true they're unsigned but I'm talking mainly about guys who have publicly in the media been talked about as a target of rival clubs. Apart from a couple bogus articles about billings to essendon back when we were trying to get Carlisle, I can think of a single time Billings has been...
It's getting to that time where its seeming more and more likely Kelly is gone. I can understand free agents waiting to the end of the season to re-sign so they can exercise their right as a free agent to consider all offers, but for whatever reason in-demand players who don't qualify for free...
hey guys, could someone please share with me the latest fantasy freako rave with all the JLT scores? was too late signing up this year and missed the email
