2013 DRAFT discussion thread: Rookie Draft complete

[Devastating Boris]

If we know GWS arent interested, it would be a good move of ours to offer him an incentive/guarantee to nominate for the PSD.

Actually, is he eligible to nominate for the PSD?

Should be as a mature shouldn't he and I believe the fact he has nominated for ND last year allows him to. Just my take, I may be wrong

If he was, then we could nab him as pick 2 in PSD. That would be very clever (sorry to use a Brucism)

 

[SuburbanMe]

What do we think about going after Ledger?

I had to ponder this for some time - did you mean.. delicious!?

Cleeeeervvvvveeerrrrrrrr

 

[DeesFan]

As I said before :

Legder and Cross can be picked up with no draft picks and will add a little depth
We should target :

Savage (possible 4th rounder)
Sewell "
(3rd for both)??


Pick 2 - trade for the likes of Swallow, Sheil, Sloane (long shot but wont happen),

Round 2 pick - best mid avail. Garlett would be a good pick up as we have a need for a small forward / Byrnes replacement

PSD - if we can get someone here it would be a bonus (only one would be Adams - offer him $500K x 4 years)

Look to delist - Bail and or Jetta , lose Sylvia

Bring in 5 Mids - Pay overs for Adams

trade Tapscott for Hendersen (Crows)

I don't think the Dees can look at one player its List management, pay overs for some.

 

[Dez!]

F*** off trading Tappy for Henderson, I'd rather take my chances with Tappy.

 

[DeesFan]

No

F*** off trading Tappy for Henderson, I'd rather take my chances with Tappy.

I like Tappy just hope he is not the next Sylvia - plenty of promise no results .. but hoping we can use him + a pick to get someone that will add value to our team.

I have no issues paying Adams $150K then any other team and giving him 5 years .. we could do worse ..

Pick 2 + Tappy would be ok for Sloane ..

We need overs to get a winning culture under Roo's to attract the next wave of players

 

[Bluelegs]

No

Is sloane contracted? If we can lure him to come to us then Adelaide can take pick 2 or Sloane can meet us in the pre-season.

Contracted - but hey I was always told you already have a "No" if you ask you might get a "Yes" .. never die wondering if you offer him $800K might like our chances.

Bullshit! id much rather Henderson atleast he has showed talent unlike Tapscott who just bumps blokes and shows no on field impact.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I doubt Roos would trade blokes like Tapscott - would want to see their talent for himself and under his coaching, as opposed to trade them based on their output under someone else and then see them thrive at another club.

 

[Devastating Boris]

Any love for Billy Hartung here? I'm impressed by what I've seen (minimal) and he has a monsterous tank. Just broke the beep test record too.

Agree, only reason tappy isnt in the Morton Basket yet is that he is a bull, a fact which detracts from his game imo as he isnt mobile to be a midfielder at all, and to short to be a back, to slow to be a forward

 

[cougar000]

Has anybody heard if Roos or anyone eles going over to watch Aish in the GF this weekend?

 

[Deefolt]

Back off tapscott, you all bag essendon for booing their players and most of you are just as bad

 

[God Save Max King]

Just wondering, would Melbourne be interested in Zak Jones? I have him going at your second pick in my mock and he seems like a player that the Dees could use.

Yeah we're all pretty keen on him seeing as he's Nathan's brother and all. Would have to be in the mix around that point in the draft from what we've heard (no expertise at all on my part).

Without a doubt we'd be interested.

Back off a player who has shown seven shades of sweet **** all (discounting a few nice bumps) since he got to the club? I used to have big wraps on him, but either he shows something this year or he finds another job. Why do you accept mediocrity, Deefolt?

On the front page of the AFL site today he looks about 12 years old.

 

[Devastating Boris]

Would anyone else take thorp? I would take him as a rookie but that's about it. Probably same with gartlett. Let them really work hard for their dream if that's what they want.

Can't see the point? Dawes, Clark, Watts, Hogan, Fitz... even Pedo. Doesn't fit.

I'd have a crack with Garlett, but not Thorp.

Yeah, doesn't fit. He would have to be in consideration at a few other clubs that are short on key forwards though.
