how many ruckman actually become midfielders and how many small forwards become midfielders.

How many cats become dogs?

What's your point here?

We need midfielders not ruckmen no to jackson.

 

[Taylor]

The entire value of Jackson as a midfielder is that he is in rare company regarding his size.

I’m going rogue...
Reckon the deal is

Freo : Pick 10, 2020 First, pick 58 and Acres
Stkilda : Hill, Freo 2020 2nd, Melbourne 2020 2nd, and Freo 3rd 2020.

We use pick 58 to secure Aish.

St Kilda are obviously keen to offload

Acres as were not going to extend him after 2020 as big money which with influx of players benefits them. Bloke can’t kick.

im going to be worrying about an early henry bid till draft night

 

[Van_Dyke]

What's the deal with trades being submitted after the 7.30pm deadline? Is the rule, if you are in the room holding paperwork, they'll still accept it? I think that's what happened last year and the year before. It probably need to happen again this year if the AFL is deliberately stalling trades.

Yep, that happened with the Weller deal

 

[jerms]

King Colin has arrived apparently.

 

[dont bowl there]

Yep, that happened with the Weller deal

I read somewhere, could have been here or Twitter that the rule changed this year. All deals need to be officially completed and lodged prior to 7.30

It was in relation to Shiel getting done after deadline last season. Who knows though.

 

[wahooo]

The list of forwards to midfielders is full of elite players.
Walters, Robbie Gray, Nathan Fyfe, Gary Ablett Jnr etc

The list of forwards to midfielders is undoubtedly longer. I'm not trying to say that Jackson will turn out like Grundy but Grundy is aslo elite.
I don't think looking at the careers of other players really helps too much when comparing Jackson and Taylor. Would rather assess them on what they've both shown rather than what other blokes have achieved but I accept your point.

We need midfielders not ruckmen no to jackson.

If we're after mids, I'd argue there would be better options than Taylor available

 

[Demons09]

Any chance there will be a change to the Billy deal, a future first maybe Bell and Freo have been very quiet.

But not many as dynamic as taylor.

I reckon we're more likely to sign Heppell than get their 2020 first. It's done, we need to let it go. Looks like the deal is all but finalised

Will spew if it's Melbourne after the generosity we've shown them over the last 2 years.

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

So effectively we’re getting 3 years from Brad Hill, Blake Acres, Pick 10, a top 30 pick, and Pick 58 for Chris Mayne?

Not bad.

 

[wahooo]

Yeah fair enough, seems like a difference in opinions.

I think Taylor's value to us would increase immensely if an early bid comes on Henry that isn't worth matching

Mayne, the gift that keeps on giving

That's how I'm looking at it.

What ever we get is thanks to Chris Mayne.

Melbourne will be the ones to spoil the party I think

Why would Melbourne take that huge draft gamble only to target someone that they probably can't even get? Pretty clear they have someone else in mind.

 

[silverscope]

I thing that gets me with The Saints and Brad Hill.

Is normally a team would try to bring in Brad Hill as that finishing piece, that final piece to the premiership puzzle. But their list is nowhere near competing I think they're making a mistake.

The more this trade period has gone on the more I think why, why are the saints paying this much for Brad Hill. Is it because he's a name and they are trying to play with the big boy destination clubs? I dunno, their list is full of vanilla players. Where is their star.

 

[apuchar]

Hopfully Melbourne will be after Cody Weightman who Cal Twomey rates higher than Henry by two spots-or he did in the Oct phantom form guide.

[ChimpaWompa]

If im melbourne, unless im really really in love in Weightman then I wouldn't bid on Henry. But if i still really like Weightman but rate Henry anywhere near the same ball park, given they play similar roles Im 100% bidding on Henry because im almost certain Fremantle will match the bid and wipe out their next pick, and if they don't i'll still get a player who plays a role we need.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Maybe our vanilla agreement with them for Langdon includes a mutual agreement (nod of the head passing in the hall way) that they won’t bid on Henry

If they rate Weightman slightly higher they will take him, honestly I think people are being way too paranoid on this one. They wanted to move up the draft for a reason, I highly doubt that reason was to try and wipe out our next pick or go after a player that even if available they might not get. It would make no sense.
