I have made my decision. Break his legs.​

 

[Clayton Lamb]

tom lynch aint slow mate. neither is reiwoldt.

Oh Dream on. The stupidity of your argument just gets worse and worse. Can't have two 200 cm forwards in the same team. LOL

What are Geelong adding to their Forward line that already contains a 198 cm forward?

your argument was already stupid.

"dont draft mcdonald because he's from WA".

clown.

Get a room you two

 

[dogs105]

^ Limited Logic. Two mobile forwards over 200 centimetres would be a nightmare for any defence. McDonald can enjoy his two years in Melbourne before he returns to WA. Or if he's that desperate to be with Mummy, he can request a trade here for 2023.

I remember thinking this when we had Angwin and Fitzgerald...

 

[Chase13]

I want McDonald and tilthorpe if we can get them. And add Himmelberg in forward line, would be awesome

 

[Thetrader15]

The first trade is terrible for WB - they need POINTS.

The second is shithouse for us. Give up 14 to move 3 spots?

I'd do 22, 23 for 14, future 2nd
then trade 14 for Pies future 1st.

Take 1, 8 to the draft, then add Borlase, Newchurch and possibly Edwards. List sizes mean we may give Gaucc one more year, which I'm good with. We can also look at a DFA if needed to boost the list. there will be a few going around.

Then we have a strong hand next year in a strong draft, 2x1st and 3x2nds
Crows 1st, Pies 1st, Adel 2nd, Melb 2nd, Dogs 2nd

so doggies give up a first and a second (next year) for two seconds this year? not sure they're that keen. must be better offers for their 14 to garner them more points.

because he's not 200cm?

Not this year there's not. We have the most points, so that's the offer, or you can keep 14.

It might be 14, 30 for 22, 23, sounds about right if you are only talking points.

 

[Disco Fox]

Quite possibly they've decided 22 and 23 is better than 14.

The point that needs to be reinforced is the significance of the Vic draftees not being able to demonstrate their development this year. This partly accounts for the common opinion that beyond Pick 5 or 6 the draft pool from there to 30 approx is, on the surface, quite even. This may influence the Crows decision to not trade with WB for 14 because the simple fact is with 22 & 23 they may select two lads of the same quality as one at 14. Or not, because(we hope) they know the potential of these lads better than us lot.

 

[Ozzie]

pick 40 at 6:59 tonight. GWS will be smart arses and so they should but they will take pick 40

PSD draft.

 

[Disco Fox]

Probably McDonald, but even he has come from a long way back based on pre-season projections.
Hollands has #1 pick qualities and would be a no brainer if not for the knee. I just don't have trust our recruiting team to make the call. I hope they prove me wrong.

I think I said it in an earlier but out of Tilthorpe or Hollands, Tilthorpe might slide, Hollands won't. Take Hollands at 1, and trade up on the draft night if Tilthorpe is still there at 5-6. Otherwise, I'm more than happy with Perkins and whoever else we take with our current hand

If Crows select Hollands & his knee turns out to be long-term problematic most of the negative knockers on this forum will blame the Crows list management team. If they select Thilthorpe & his groin turns out to be long-term problematic they'll blame the Crows list management team. If they select McDonald & he gets homesick & ,after 2 years, requests a trade to Dockers or Eagles they'll blame Crows list management team for not having an effective crystal ball!! Let's face it, with the whingers they can never pick the right lad.

Essendon lose-7 and 8 a Future 2nd
gain- Dunkley and Caldwell

GWS lose- Caldwell
gain- Pick 22 and Essendon 2021 2nd

WB lose Dunkley
gain Pick 7 and 23

Adelaide lose 22 and 23
gain Pick 8

Is anyone really losing here?

 

[hey shorty]

Quite comfortable with any of Hollands, McDonald or Thilthorpe......

Provided we draft midfielders with the other picks.

 

[DJ75]

It's close, but suspect both WB and GWS would want more.

I said this moths ago and still stand by it, you have to have big balls to not take McDonald.
Would turn out to be a massive disaster imo.

What if we pick Thilthorpe and he goes even better than McDonald..or more to the point what if we DIDN'T pick Thilthorpe and he not only goes on to be better but in 2 years time McDOnald asks to be traded back to WA. Not saying these are guaranteed but these are the considerations they will have to allow for with Pick 1

It had better be midfielders with acceleration/and or speed or mid/forwards that have the versatility to play both roles to a high standard with the next 2 picks if we're taking McDonald or Thilthorpe....Hately fulfills the mid/forward bit but he's more the inside player that wins first possession and hands off to the quicker guys.

you can only go on what you see atm, and McDonald has shown signs of potential greatness. Thithorpe has shown signs of being high quality.
Easy decision.

i think its obvious we will go tall with our first and mids with our next 2 which seems the best strategy.
A strategy i havent really considered is whether you would trade pick 1 for 6&7 with Essendon who are apparently desperate for McDonald.

*Personally i dont think Thilthorpe is anywhere near McDonald level of quality, probably only Hollands would make sense.

 

[Dangarman]

What if we draft the Victorian Dangerfield and he turns out to be better than the son of SANFL legend Ebert...

 

[Brett Cummings]

That wasn't my argument, this was:



Your comprehension is as bad as your football nous.

You said not to take mcdonald cos he'll go home in 2 years. So dont take arguably the best player in the draft because he might go home. You're completely stupid mate.

 

[Mutineer]

You mixing Brad up with Brett?

Craig Burton was hardly a SANFL Legend, Russell however...
