Luko for what should probably be pick 15-20 after academy bids and FA compensation I’m not too fussed with.
Might not be the best deal we could have got but in general first round picks are overrated.
Happy to take the risk at that pick.
Net result when you package it all up I’m actually a...
We made out like bandits then for Lukosius when you consider North gave up a F1 for Pick 27
On that basis, we got Luko, Atkins and 50 for 39
Not bad!
Thanks for explaining
Now I feel really good about that deal!
😴
It was a 3 way trade
You can split it up however you want, but the facts are we gave up Houston and a F1 for Luko, Atkins, Richards, Berry and Whitlock
If you want to say we traded Houston for Atkins and our F1 for the rest, go right ahead, it makes zero difference.
Just deal with the facts...
Prior to trade period we had picks 36 (Moraes) and 54 (A lot of movement but let’s just say used to trade up on draft night to ensure we got Berry)
Essentially if you want to break it down
Luko for F1
Houston for Berry and Whitlock
Atkins and Richards for 54
What you would or wouldn’t pick...
Question
I’m all for giving stick when it’s warranted
I hated the Houston trade.
However
If we trade him for 13 and 20 and took Berry and Whitlock would you have been happy?
Essentially, at the end of it all the number is irrelevant, the player is the key.
Berry and Whitlock for Houston at...
Rookie draft salary falls outside of salary cap.
It’s not much but it’s an extra 80k.
Also, can contract for 1 year rather than the min 2 at the ND.
So there are benefits
Geoff Parker on AA tonight when questioned about Murphy Reid.
Very very giddish.
Half let it slip that if he was available he would be the one!
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he went earlier”
“You never know, you might get a nice surprise that he comes to us”
Correct, Addy has had a mare 😂
Glad we cleared this up and can move on
5 list spots = 5 AFL allocated draft picks
If we’ve upgraded Jed
4 remain which is what we have been allocated today at final call
Simple!
You are wrong
Rookie upgrades aren’t picks
They are just list spots
They are however included in your min 3 ND selections
We don’t need to trade to upgrade McEntee 😂
Horrible take!
Currently have 38 listed players including 4 rookies and Jacob Moss (Cat B)
33 Primary
4 Rookie A
1 Rookie B
So with McEntee upgrade we will have a spot for Rome plus 4 picks in the national draft
The key is Benny B not attracting a bid in the national draft as we can add him as a Cat B...
Father-Son Rookie Listing
Father-Son players not nominated for the bidding system can be pre-selected prior to the Rookie Draft by that club if they have nominated for but not been selected at the National or Pre-Season Draft.
Essentially, Port don't need to nominate any Father Son.
