Brandon Ellis?

not many. He's been a done deal to the Gold Coast for the majority of the season. Almost happened last season.

 

[hk89]

Yeh but if he goes before 11 we have to use that pick dont we ? and we get a later pick back if the discount is there like if he goes 10.

Don't really know the complexities of how the 20% discount works in that situation. IMO the whole F/S system they've now deployed is a little too stingy, and doesn't provide enough discount to encourage the romance of having children playing at the club of the parent. Probably especially tricky for kids on the edge of elite, but with some question marks on how solid the selection would be.

I agree with what you are saying however i get the feeling that we often get players ranked much higher in our ratings than when we draft them. For instance, it wouldn’t surprise that we land a top 20-25 ranked player at pick 40-50. It also depends on our needs and list make-up too, something our list management professionals would have time to do as opposed trying to work this out in 10-20 min via an Internet forum! If this is the case, it doesn’t bode well for Finn unless we do rank him highly (Which is bleedingly obvious i suppose).

Yeah I agree. I wouldnt be surprised if we had Worpel top 20 in his draft year.

GW tried giving him credit yesterday but it fell on deaf ears. Bloke has no profile.

who?

Think it comes down to what picks we end up having and the gap between our rating and the bid. If 30ish is our first, then Finn could be a steal if we rate him in the top 20, regardless of the bid

 

[The Chad and I]

who?

Exactly.

 

[matsta1975]

I hear we’re into Papley now? He’d be a good pickup.

Nope

 

[Off The Couch]

Nope

Why not

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Of all the players mentioned here I'm really keen on Papley.

No injury history, the right age, great finisher and isn't a TOP line player so shouldn't cost the world in a pick trade.

Is contracted for next 3 years. Will not happen unless we were to overpay.

Abasi's right, given his contract situation, I feel we'd have to give up our first pick for him (which is overs IMO).

Our 1st pick for Papley is about par as he's a quality player, but he won't be joining Hawthorn so it's a pointless discussion anyways.

Spot on.. not happening

Swans need the Blues pick for Joey now.

In fairness, that's kinda our thing...

Carlton better positioned than us

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

If it's not Elliott or Papley it's Dan Butler. Would cost nowhere near as much to bring him across and is the right fit in just about all categories. Yes struggled for a game in a strong Richmond team but up until late last year was easily in the best 22 every week. Premiership player with enough experience to step right in and strongly contribute.

 

[Off The Couch]

I’m in no way suggesting a first rounder for Papley but I’m surprised at the number who aren’t keen on him - I’m no fan but he is a quality player

He's a jet.

Yeah I think it's because we've learnt to hate him playing for the COLA kids and he has one of the most punchable heads in the competition.

 

[The German Hunter]

I'd rather play a first rounder for Papley then sign Butler for free.

Neither are on our radar

 

[TheFourPillars]

I have a feeling we r done will go to the draft

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Only if other clubs are not interested in dealing with us.

We are working on something.

 

[The German Hunter]

I have a feeling we r done will go to the draft

Yep, done and dusted. Got what we came for. Pick swapping will be our only involvement from here on in

 

[Mojo]

We should be seriously trying to improve our draft position.
