List Mgmt. 2017 Trade/Draft/FA SuperMegaUltra Thread - Post Trade-Period Edition

[Obeanie1]

Yep lets draft a forward when we desperately need mids.

Pies are drafting mids when they desperatly need talls. Freakin crazy!!!!!

 

[matt_bas]

I like O'Brien. At least with his kicking and fitness he has 2 good attributes. You can't really say that about Allen or Higgins.

Stephenson is still my first choice though.

Stephenson
O'Brien
Allen
Higgins

That's my order.

We agree on Steph. That' it. I' go
Steph
Higgins
O'Brien
Allen

Mostly out of hope Obrien or Allen is there at 21

I've got a haircut booked for 6.30. If i check my phone at 7.00 and O'Brien has disappointed me, I'm going to ask the barber to finish the job

Hahaha wtf, this is a terrible reason to miss the draft

Settle down, it won't even be past the lame media hype and ads by the time I've politely declined any 'product'.

It's more likely an irregularity which is constant or causes an audible change in heart rhythm a few times a day, otherwise they wouldn't have picked it up.

For instance, I have trivial mitral valve regurgitation, which means one of my heart valves leaks a small amount of blood back into the chamber each beat. I also get occasional skipped beats and occasional palpitations (rapid irregular beating for a few seconds).

And you didn’t make it to the AFL - could be a correlation here...

Yep. I was the worst distance runner in my school. That was most likely my undiagnosed Asthma though

 

[Happy Mastenator]

The worrying thing about reading this thread is a see a lot of ifs, possibles, maybe and potentiallys:

He is a forward, but he could potentially be an inside midfielder.

Hes a half back, but he could potentially be an inside midfielder.

He could be an inside midfield if he improves his inside game.

He is an outside midfielder who could play inside if he bulks up.

He could be an inside midfielder is he improves winning the contested ball.

He could be an inside midfielder if we can teach him to tackle more.


Etc, etc

This is why we would be utterly mad not to grab Charlie constable:

-he IS an inside midfielder
-he IS big enough
-he DOES win the contested ball
-he DOES tackle.

All the fundamentals are in place. Yes, he does need to improve his tank, but why dont we back in our fitness staff in to improve that? I would much rather roll the dice on getting a guy with solid fundamentals fitter, that trying to improve a fit guys fundamentals.


As per an earlier poster put up, he will be one of the best draftees of this years crop.

The tank isn't the issue. That can be fixed. It's the fact that he makes priddis look quick. That's much harder to fix.

*Based on never having seen him play and going worst case

But we dont know what the risk is. It could be a weird heart defect that has a 2% chance of occurring. It could be just family history of early heart attack?

I seem to remember Jakovich missing the odd game with a heart murmur.

But bzparkes didn’t make it to the AFL either. Got to be more than coincidence...

Didn't Jakovich have a little bit of heart concern too? ~ I seem to remember something to that effect, which was only picked up later in his career.

edit: i see littlegreekgod also mentioned this above. So my memory isn't so bad after all.

 

[Dark Sharks]

We all know the answer to this one.

I'm only busting your balls. I have sad fascination with draft day so I can't relate to scheduling anything through it.

 

[matt_bas]

Can we have a shiny new thread for the draft? Something like
Live Draft Day/Live Celebration/Live Melt/Live/Live/Live

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Yeah i will be very disappointed if we got O'Brien and to me it tells me we know Gaff is leaving next year and he will be the replacement. I just have this feeling the club sat down with Gaff and asked him his intentions and if he thought he would be going home next year. From there we figured lets trade this years first rounder for a couple of second rounders and then next year when Gaff goes through FA we get a first rounder anyway...

Jetta is so flakey that we can't pencil him in as a winger. So we may still need a wingman on the other side to Gaff. Not sure who on our list at the moment can move to the wing successfully. Not a fan of Redden or someone slow on the wing. We could try Nelson or Sheed I suppose.

I can't see it, but near the end of the season, it was mentioned that Gaff might move into the middle.

 

[matt_bas]

Is this even a question?

Pfft. I pick option 5. Chris Goat Masten

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Big day and fully focused on pick 13. Even finished my morning swim at 1.3 km so that the day had meaning on our first pick.

I did struggle though wondering where Rohan will manage to do something insane. Guess we have room for 1 (hopefully that is pick 37 or later).

 

[LeCrassic]

13 Hunter Clark/Jack Higgins
21 Lochie O'Brian
26 Tim Kelly
32 James Worpal
37 Brendan Starcavich
69 Jarred Garlett

87 Kyron Hayden
105 Liam Ryan

It was half deliberate so that I can't melt

I didn't know people booked haircuts.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Im worried that say GWS or Adelaide or whoever was set to pick Bonar instead picks Stephenson.

Take the risk on the heart condition instead of the knee!

Would we take Bonar?

Id love Stephenson but I think we will end up with a Higgins or a OBrien.

I think I would rather take the risk on a heart problem that has been given the ok, than a reconstructed knee that has been given the ok.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I didn't know people booked haircuts.

Depends.

Book at a hair dresser and it costs $50
Walk into a barber and it is $25

 

[Jiggyman]

So now it's a hairdressing thread, too?

 

[FKASC]

I didn't know people booked haircuts.

I usually go to a place where you just walk in and wait, but someone recommended this joint and it's one of those barbers that still wants bookings. Better be good

 

[FKASC]

I think the question we should be asking is:

Where did Stephenson get his haircut, and did he have to book?
