Nah, I disagree. Pick 4 & 22 for Pick 6 & 13 basically net each out out 4 & 22 will get Draper but maybe not Dodson 6 & 13 likely gets us both Draper and Dodson So then the Crows are effectively getting Rosas & Lukosius (straight into our First 18) for a Future 1st Pick. If we make finals in...

In: Rosas, Lukosius, GC Pick 6, GC Pick 13 Out: Pick 4, Pick 22 and Future 1st Noting; this may not be enough for GCS... Then: Draft Pick 6 - Draper Draft Pick 13 - Dodson Father-Son late picks - Welsh Somehow get Alex NealeBullen for a packet of tictacs - a trade period like that would work...

Thinking about upgrading my wedges, currently playing Mizuno's as they match my irons and they're ok... but I'm looking wistfully at Titleist Vokey's in SM8/SM9... or perhaps some Clevelands as the reviews on those are good. Would be interested in anyone's review who has owned a few models of...

Even Bo Callihan only slid to Pick 6...

Curtin looks like a ripper colt, hope he immediately finds his feet in Adelaide. Welcome to the club young fella. I'm still scratching my head about how we get Sid Draper in the club next draft year as he looks to be Dangerfield-esque, the offer of 1st Round from West Coast must've been...

A 2021 draft report on Arlo Draper (his older brother, drafted to Collingwood in '21, delisted a fortnight ago) quotes a tweet that says Arlo Draper was a Crows fan, so potentially the family are Crows supporters. Otherwise, google is coming up with nothing on which way Sid's loyalties lie.

In the U18 champs, Sid Draper was better than all the current SA draft prospects. Any opportunity to trade current picks into 2024 is meaningful and will pay dividends. WA's 2 clubs have big gaps from #1 (WCE) to #23 (WCE) and #34 (Freo) so they could bid on our 1st Rounders to secure local...

Fair call, and I will be in the waiting room at the therapist when you hop up off the leather chaise. If we're naive enough to believe that no First-22 Crows player will be leaving the club next year, then we'd look at the 2024 Trade and Draft period and we want Petty in, Draper in and Welsh...

Further to your question - My own view is that the ideal structure for 2024 for the Crows is to have a Top3 pick to secure Draper without any drama, and then a bunch of other "matching" picks from 20-40 for Welsh. But how to achieve that... not knowing who will stink up the AFL in 2024? What I...

Definitely an option CountryLad, yes. Draper is the early bolter for 2024 "Harley Reid". As fans we'd anticipate the Crows to have a crack at Draper and the F/S Welsh in 2024 Draft. WCE do seem a reasonable choice for Bottom5 in 2024... but gee they'll have stiff competition from Fremantle, Port...

What is going on in WA? Heaps of WA top end talent in the upcoming draft Top 20 / Top 30 however you slice it. Both clubs need fresh local talent for rebuilding. West Coast have a single pick in the 1st round (#1) and then pick #23 in the second round Freo don't have any picks until #34 Do...

Can we all just enjoy the trade period dumpster fire over at Alberton at the moment: They've had nearly a fortnight and haven't got anything done yet. 1 day and 4 hours to go; 1. Zerk Thatcher - still no deal with Essendon and might send him to the draft 2. Ratugolea - still no deal with Geelong...

fair point... ever seen mulesing? Ouchy

Reidy was just on AFL Trade Radio right now. Played a pretty straight bat to everything. Topics covered: McAdam... fair. Wish him well. Doedee... fair. Wish him well. Himmelberg... likely to stay put. At the club today doing rehab on hamstring. Petty... he's trying to get home at some stage...

Lots of WA talent in this years draft. Meanwhile both WA sides are rebuilding. We hold 10, 14, 20 for this years draft and don't have a clear plan... We want Draper and Welsh in next years draft. Makes me wonder if we couldn't extract a 24-27yo midfielder from one of those WA clubs who won't...

Agree - it is just the reunion of brothers and he's a handy backup fwd/ruck that plugs holes. Very much in the mold of Billy Frampton and co. GWS won't give us Pick 16 for him. And they don't have another pick until #43 which is basically worthless. Burgess has come in as a like-for-like for...

You're correct, he's still on the list at Nth Melbourne but he's fringe. I don't think we'd need to give up much to get him. Although, with Goldstein leaving Nth Melbourne, maybe Coleman-Jones workload is going to be higher in 2024?!

Callum Coleman Jones - Sth Aus boy. About the same size/standard. Fringe Fwd/Ruck.

Welcome intruder. Good query! Yes Sid Draper is definitely A-Grader, and Welsh (Father-Son) is the other top priority for 2024 draft. Assuming in 2024 Adelaide climb up the ladder and Port Adelaide slide down the ladder we're not going to have Pick1-5 options unless we get creative with ideas...

Agree wholeheartedly with Danger in Texas here; Feels like we're on a trajectory towards Pre-Lims and Grand Finals in 2025-2026 (maybe even 2024?!?) and I don't get the sense that drafting 18yo's this year will benefit us in that regard (Also the 2023 draft looks bereft of Sth Aus talent)...

Yep, fantastic comment Kramer. Simple measurement tool for the trade period - has our list got stronger? Answer right now, is resoundingly No. Need to bring something in otherwise we're drafting for kids who won't make much impact until 2026+

Your comment is fair - pick 5 is a high price... but I think it was a great trade. For comparison, what would Adelaide have done with Pick5 if we took it to the draft, here's the list of who went in the 2022 Draft - would you rather have Rankine, or; 5. Elijah Tsatas 6. Bailey Humphrey 7...

Can I ask... who would the Crows be selecting at #10 that we can't get at 19+? Because I'm not seeing a lot of Sth Aussies in the draft before #19 based on the google searches of recently published top prospect lists.

Justin Reid was just on AFL Trade Radio - short interview on Tiktok and other social media A. Tom Doedee paperwork is done with Brisbane. Pick #19 compo B. Clayton Oliver interest didn't go that far. After a couple days of discussion, it all moved on pretty quickly. C. Still keen to keep Shane...

Can't find anything online about a 3rd ACL. He missed lots of footy with a bad hamstring tear in 2020, maybe you're thinking about that? And pre-Crows... he missed a block of footy at the Geelong Falcons in 2015 due to injury as well. Not specified what for.

Crows to receive End-of-Round-1 pick as compensation for Doedee going to Brisbane - locked in by the AFL. Currently Pick #19 Not bad compo for a 26yo that has played 62 games in 5 years and done 2 ACL's. I can live with that.

Golly we've selected some ripsnorters in picks 10-14 over the years... we need to get more picks in the 10-14 range! T.Walker at #75 and R.Sloane at #44 were unbelievable bargains.
