Tend to agree it will another one of those why didn't they take player X instead of player Y situationsEveryone needs to chill out in regards to trading 6. We'll butcher it anyway, so who cares. Plus, pick 6 is cursed and we already have 2 on our list (Yarran, Conca)
Year after year nothing happens until the last few days of the trade period. You would think we would learn but no.
I just don't think it is worth getting too upset about not having a pick in the top 10 if we retain at least two in the 20s.
Look at it this way
In the 2009 draft
If we had pick one we would have taken Scully... is Scully worth pick 1? **** no.
After Martin the next best was Cunnington at pick 5 (good player but no world beater), the next decent player was Talia at 14 followed by Fyfe at 20.
So in the top 20 there were 5 players worth grabbing and probably Fyfe, Martin and Talia were the only 3 worthy of top 10 picks.
In the next 10 picks went Carlisle, Duncan and Gunston.
Now look at 2008 draft
Much better players in this draft yet 2 of the 3 best midfielders went at 29 Beams and 30 Hannebery. The other was Ziebell at pick 9. There were good KPP's in this draft but that is more like next years draft than this years draft. Still plenty of plodders popped up in the top 20.
If we take 3 midfielders before pick 30 we will land at least one player worthy of a top 10 pick.
Don't be surprised if prestia was only injury prone due to the way gold coast ran their program, by the looks of it they had their players training too hard too soon hence why they have had a massive injury list for consecutive yearsMight as well shut the doors if we use 6 for Prestia, he'll play **** all for us as he's injury prone. He can sit alongside Yarran and Hampson in the hall of fame trade **** ups. Between Richarson, Hartley and FJ it will take a decade to undo their damage.
The McCarthy trade actually took over 12 months.Would rather they take their time than get deals done on the first or second day. The freo gws trade was unusually quick tho considering the bounty freo got.
what are the chances trent actually gets itGood try Essendon.
Now we want our Brownlow
what are the chances trent actually gets it
i think they wont award it
Maybe they want to get rid of it cos they don't trust FJ
Hardly any club has yet, it's been a very quiet start...
No.
Vickery was 500k for 2 years.
Wells was 600k for 3 years.
If anything North are getting screwed.
People need to remember we're talking about a soon to be 30 year old Deledio, whose body is slowly breaking down, being traded not a soon to be 25-26 in the prime of his career Deledio. Getting someone like Caddy who is about to enter the best years of his career and has shown that he can be a very good player when played in the right role. Have a look at some photos of Caddy he is built like a tank, has a bit of campaigner about him and alongside the likes of Cotchin Martin & Prestia it would give us an impressive midfield quartet to build around and it means that instead of asking a few of our smaller skinnier midfielders to play inside we can use them in better roles as hard running outside link up mids who can get on their bikes and move the ball quickly into our F50.
What do you classify as a "high pick"? The last top 10 pick we had was 2012 when we took Vlausy.one thing to keep in mind when talking about us trading pick 6, is the likelihood that we would pick a better player with that pick. given that we have screwed every high pick since martin other than lids, martin and maybe cotchin, we will probably just take some shithead with pick 6 anyway.
who would you rather, conca or prestia??? (fyi we took conca at 6 over prestia at 9 in their draft to begin with)
No, AFL is too weak they won't do anything about the brownlow
That link is Paywall what's it say ?
