[Danger in Texas]

So as it stands, we could be looking at something like this?

1: WB - JUH
2: Adel - McDonald/Thilthorpe
3: NM - Thilthorpe/McDonald
4: Syd - DGB
5: Haw - Phillips
6: GC - Hollands
7: Syd - Campbell
8: Ess - Bruhn
9: Ess - Reid
10: PA - Jones
11: Ess - Perkins/O'Driscoll
12: Adel - O'Driscoll/Perkins

 

[Deaneus!]

Does anyone think we will bid on Jones?

We'd better bid on every mother****er in the room

8: Ess - Bruhn
9: Ess - Reid
10: PA - Jones
11: Ess - Perkins/O'Driscoll
12: Adel - O'Driscoll/Perkins

Essendon may bid on Jones with their 1st pick to cause maximum damage... unless there was a deal as part of the Fantasia deal... so we then bid with our pick.

 

[Troy87]

Would anyone do 1 and 9 for the Bombers 6,7,8? Maybe a later swap of some picks?

Yeah I think it's a guarantee that if we keep 9, we bid on Jones if he's there

Screw Port as much as possible

10: PA - Jones
11: Ess - Perkins/O'Driscoll

Norf should bid on Campbell at 3, screw Sydney out of DGB, then grab McDonald.

Also, we won't take Perkins. I'm hearing he's a Flight Risk.

 

[FR0GGY]

Would anyone do 1 and 9 for the Bombers 6,7,8? Maybe a later swap of some picks?

You’d want Essendons 1st pick next year to even look at it.

 

[GrommoT]

20% Discount on 3000 = 2400 Points

729 (Pick 26) + 563 (Pick 33) + 412 (Pick 41) + 395 (Pick 42) + 220 (Pick 54) = 2319 Points

Should be easy enough to trade in the shortfall in points using 2021 later round picks, maybe exchange picks so what WB hold have more value if they're a bit tight on list spots to take 6 picks into the draft.

Let's hope we take a shot at JUH at #1.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Give me McDonald, Perkins, Poulter and Brayden Cook and I'll be happy as larry

Then our academy guys with the rest of the picks

 

[FR0GGY]

Would anyone do 1 and 9 for the Bombers 6,7,8? Maybe a later swap of some picks?

Also us doing any deal with Essendon has the potential to be ugly for us.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Norf should bid on Campbell at 3, screw Sydney out of DGB, then grab McDonald.

Yeah I'd be happy to go with O'Driscoll in that case. Are we talking Bailey Smith

-levels of flight risk, though? Because I REALLY like Perkins

And I'd take McDonald for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the club opts for Thilthorpe

/ John Malkovich in Con Air levels of flight risk.

Also, Tilt for us, McDonald for Norf, then we don't get the headaches every time his contract is up.

 

[Crow Envy]

Pick 40 will be wiped in a bid on Borlase won’t it? So we really haven’t gained a lot??

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Pick 40 will be wiped in a bid on Borlase won’t it? So we really haven’t gained a lot??

If the bid comes before live draft pick 32/33 -Which is what pick 40 will become as the picks currently stand- then it will get wiped.

 

[Thetrader15]

Give me McDonald, Perkins, Poulter and Brayden Cook and I'll be happy as larry

Then our academy guys with the rest of the picks

Id go
Hollands
Perkins
Poulter
Baldwin

Then Ford if we can with pick 40 sneaking in

/ John Malkovich in Con Air levels of flight risk.

Eh, I just don’t like the prospect of pairing up both Himmelberg and Thilthorpe. I also rate McDonald higher enough to make me not worry about Thil’s SA factor

Also, we can worry a bit less about Logan flying back to WA if we draft both him and O’Driscoll

That said, it might be Bruhn that falls through to us, geez I’d like that

 

[Mutineer]

Give me McDonald, Perkins, Poulter and Brayden Cook and I'll be happy as larry

Then our academy guys with the rest of the picks

You happy enough with Poulter and Cook's contested game? I'd take Eddie Ford in front of Cook, think he offers the same overhead as Cook but far more grunt and aggression?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Id go
Hollands
Perkins
Poulter
Baldwin

Then Ford if we can with pick 40 sneaking in

I like Baldwin’s talent but he’s just too risky injury-wise for mine

I can see him sliding through to our pick 40 if we keep it, honestly

 

[ContrarianCrow]

Pick 40 will be wiped in a bid on Borlase won’t it? So we really haven’t gained a lot??

Still gives us opportunities to trade up/into next year so value is still there.

 

[Bearded Clam]

so we take Hately in the PSD..

we grab newchurch and borlase with later picks hoping they dont get bid on until the 30’s at the earliest.. and maybe Edwards if he nominates us for F/S..

use pick 1 and 9..

is there any way we can turn 22/23 into a first rounder next year.. surely collingwood would be keen given daicos is set to be a top 5 next year..

if all the rounds of the draft are held on the one night this year and not split into round 1 and then 2 onwards from the next day... is there a chance the AFL put a break in between the end of round 1 and then start of the rest of the rounds?.. say a 30min “take stock” opportunity for the media to spin a whole lot of their theatrical BS (that we all know the AFL just love) about “who got what and who went where“ in the all important first round.. their usual crap on about who surprised, who bolted and who didn't get picked up?.. before the rest of the rounds continue.

even a 30 minute break like this could have clubs scrambling to do deals with us for 22 and 23 if there has been a player they like slide (and there always is)..

if we could flip one of those into a 2021 1st we would be setting ourselves up for another good draft hand two years in a row.. especially given we already have melbourne‘s second next year.

id be very happy to only add

1
9
hately
borlace
newchurch
and maybe edwards
plus a rookie or two from the rookie draft where we will also have pick 1.

this year, and not use 22/23 if it means flipping them for more great picks in next years draft..

although... does anyone know where that young Spicer lad is likely to be picked?.. Mutineer???...anyone?... wouldn't mind getting him in.. speed, speed and more speed with some x-factor.

swear I recall someone said he might fall to the rookie draft..

 

[Danger in Texas]

You happy enough with Poulter and Cook's contested game? I'd take Eddie Ford in front of Cook, think he offers the same overhead as Cook but far more grunt and aggression?

I like Ford too, but his tank needs some work. I’m more confident in Poulter and Cook’s ability to eventually play in the middle of the ground if need, Poulter as an in/out mid and Cook as a wingman

I do understand that Cook’s very light as it stands. Usually I don’t like guys that average low clearance and tackle numbers, but Cook I think has enough upside in other parts of his game for me to want to take him. That said, I’d be happy if we grabbed Ford, he’s inside my top 25 as it stands

Pies 1st pick next year will be highly sought after. I'd like to get it this year as i think they'll dive so it will be harder next year to obtain.

/ John Malkovich in Con Air levels of flight risk.

Thilthorpe is not a number 1 pick. We could likely get him at pick 6. If we are going Thilthorpe we should do a trade with Essendon for their pick 6 and 7 plus their future 2nd for pick 1. They want McDonald. Would give us 6,7, 9. I think we are idiots not taking McDonald and will regret it if we don't take him.

i dont rate Himmelberg...

sure he had a few great games at the end of this year but his kicking for goal is ****ing disgusting.. it could never be relied upon in the big games. just my opinion of course and a fair few here will disagree im sure..

think Tilly would force himm out of the side pretty rapidly..

but then again.. we do play tex, fog and himm together now as our talls.. whats to stop it being tilly, himm and fog??.. especially given tilly is meant to be very mobile and good below the knees for a 200cm lad..

i just reacon Thilthorpe is who they’ll grab...

 

[Tex Milera]

Hypothetical....Bombers offer us picks 7 & 8 for our No 1 pick, in order to get McDonald.....would we entertain it?
