Shocking trade this guy could be morabito/Menzel nothing below the 3rd round to much of a risk if they won't take we don't do simple
Given eveNess of the pool, pick 11 on its own isnt probably worth pick 14 and 31.

You could have drafted that and just held onto it for another week, when - if nothing you liked had happened - it would have made some sense. It's just silly when trade period isnt even half over and everyone in the know has said a) hardly anything that's happening gets to the media (exhibit A - Mitchell to WCE) and b) North is quietly working on a few things. Not to mention that North is keen to draft a few players this year so is not going to put those cards on the table without a huge payoff.
I'm excited to get Ahern. That's a pick 7 with all the talent in the world who hasn't pulled on an AFL jumper. We're effectively drafting him (I think scoob said this yesterday?).
those Morrabito type stories are very sad for the player. There must be a week that doesn't go by that they dont rue what could have should have been.High risk, high reward. Could be another Morrabito who doesn't get on the park, but if he comes good physically he is going to a much better player than the pick we will use to get him.

Him + a high pick would be overpaying for Todd
That ruins our chances of getting Taranto. Wouldn't be stoked with that.

Yeah, an extended family member was drafted by Collingwood with a decent pick a few years back and he was just hit by one injury after another and couldn't get on the park, was eventually cut. It is devastating as it is all the kids ever wanted and had invested so much time and effort to prepare to play footy at the highest level. It is why it irks me when players have the talent and have the durability but put in a half-arsed effort. That is just a waste.
Talking of Morrabito, couldn't we rookie him? Give him a medical and if he looks ok take him. Low risk high reward. On Ahern, seeing his highlights makes me think we will have an A grader if fit.
Using pick 11 on a guy who has done his knee twice hasn't played a game and won't play till 2018 would be very very dumb. this year is a strong draft also the player we get at 11 will probably be better and play sooner. If this happens we have lost the plot and I will cryDidn't Taranto ruin his chances of getting to us with late season form?
I kind of agree but just guessing going off what people are saying and that is we will use 11.
It could even be a swap of one of their first rounds this year for our first round next year.

Who the **** is using pick 11 for Ahern?
Half Tonne Mom might beg to differ. :stern lookNobody is bigger then the club.
just shows you can have ability, desire, talent and intent, but circumstances outside of your control can smash your dreams.
I wouldn't think so, he is 24 now and his 3rd knee reco was a LARS from memory. Unlike a traditional graft, the artificial graft doesn't repair itself, so it eventually fails, they typically only do LARS for people towards the end of their career but he had his in 2013, I wouldn't be optimistic of it lasting very long.
If he had a traditional knee reco in 2013 I would be more inclined to give him a go for a couple of years as a rookie but in his case I think he is heavily loaded on the risk department. We should keep an eye out of other hard luck stories though.
Is this actual or just speculation?11 for Ahern and 15
