Rumour 2019 Draft rumours thread

[RUNVS]

This mf said gold coats...

Damn autocorrect

 

[Thetrader15]

A reliable poster on our board has Stephens going top 6

I get the feeling syd are into him The comment about not bidding on green and going for a different type of mid

 

[Supersuns]

He might be there. Gold Coast would want to make sure he is there.

Also given gold coats massive injury list every year I don't think they are in a position to risk taking Kemp.

The upside on Kemp at 15 is to good to pass up. He is 10000% a top 10 talent. Have to back yourselves in with that one and take him

 

[Mego Red]

I'll repeat it again for you in case you didn't notice it the first time.

"given Flanders has a good chance of starting his career as a forward" ergo he may not be seen as a midfielder at all.

Yes, or he may be seen as a midfielder forwarder, instead of just a mid.

A different kind of midfielder, with more strings to his bow.

You don't describe someone you see as a forward as a "different kind of midfielder" - you call them a forward, ffs.

Yes, that's my point. It's entirely possible the Swans see Flanders as a forward and so they're saying they're interested in Stephens.

It's quite weird for a draftee to tour a clubs facilities, particularly one expected to go mid first round.

Can't say I've heard of it before.

I would of thought it almost constitutes
draft tampering considering post draft combine medicals etc are done in the full knowledge of all clubs and the AFL usually on set days with all interested parties attending.

Was a weird photo tbh.

Remember hearing Rankine and Rozee touring our facility at around draft time last year, think it does happen, more so with high end talents and when clubs hold high end picks

 

[Old navy]

Can completely understand why Gold Coast would want to do that too. Rowell, Anderson and Robertson basically sets up their midfield for the next 15 years.

Does it though ? with Swallow Bowes and Bodie it’s a pretty one paced midfield, if u add those 3

Makes sense Crows list manger said you could classify him as a NSW boy, must be from up near the border.

Yeah he's from around Mildura somewhere before boarding in Adelaide.

[Wild Bill]

Collingwood will trade up and take a midfielder for sure.

Not sure they have the currency to get Adelaide’s 22 or 23.

Next years first rounder is on the table. Maybe plus 37 this year.

Lot to give up for a pick in the 20's..

 

[Jen2310]

I believe our first round was on the table, as we didn't need it to match a bid for our academy player next year. I guess it also depends if they wanted a pick in the 20's enough. Whether there is a player we wanted desperately.

That's terrible, they watched the awful channel 7 or 9 news when there were far better news bulletins on other channels at 5, 6.30 and 7?
