That 2016 draft is now officially a disaster.

Himmelberg the only real hope.

Traded out Lyons

traded in Hampton

the whole trade/draft period

Nah, not a disaster yet.

Himmelberg dictates whether its a disaster or a pass.

 

[Disco Fox]

And that bloke who wears 14.....

There is a valid reason to retain Mackay for 1 more year due to Covid. The reduction of the coaching panel(AFL decision) will allow them to utilise the great rapport Macca has with the younger players in an unofficial coaching(support) role.Plus, Crows have a shortage of experienced players right now. This was flagged by Campo on ABC Radio weeks ago.

Haha come on mate be serious.

We have the worst midfield in the comp, just gave away our best midfielder for a second rounder, and delisted both the midfielders we took in the 1st and 2nd round in 2016 when they should be coming into their prime.

Even if Berg makes it, it was a disaster. Unless you call 1/5 a pass.

How bloody many "experienced players do we need to set the standards....

Still can’t get past that polo shirt

It's a shocker

For drafting, having 1 out of 5 succeed and get to 100+ games is a pass, should Himmelberg get there of course, due to the inexact nature of drafting and development.

Trading is a separate beast, and with the power of hindsight, that part ended up being a disaster.

Point taken, but you overlooked Campo's "coaching" point. I don't know how many are left on the coaching panel- is it necessary?

 

[ad victoriam]

Just heard an interesting Pick trade, no proof or any cred, but thought I put it up,
I still would not take it but it sounds OK,
Pick 1 and 23 for Sydney pick 3 and 2021 1st rd pick,

 

[Disco Fox]

James Borlase on 5AA later today.

Jesus, you have some low standards.

Let's hope we do better than a '1/5 pass' in this draft, otherwise we are rooted.

I count 9 permanent members on the coaching staff ....NINE.

That's enough surely!!!!!!

That's enough surely!!!!!!

It was Campo...

We've got half of a starting 18 right there.

I’d take it

Yes, to an old bastard(me!) it seems all those coaches must complicate what is basically a simple game.

 

[mattymac]

Bickley pushing for a KPF at pick 1: But will you take a mid with pick 9 Reidy?

Reid: Look Bickley, there are 3 or 4 talents we're looking at with pick 1.

Did he also mention something along the line, even tho they will stick with the talent order, there are some considerations with local and balance,
Miss that part of that conversation, had to answer a message on another PC.

He's said they will always put a weighting on SA talent if it's a lineball decision several times in interviews he's done today.

 

[Crow till I die]

I’d take it

yeah..it might mean that we miss Thilthorpe and McDonald but still get Hollands but I'd bank on Sydney not making the finals next year and that is another top 10 pick and we would be absolutely be set up next year and still have a super hand this year

 

[Kezza86]

I’d take it

Sydney probably keen on McDonald. Then the Roos may get wind and offer something as well.

Is this the same Mark Bickely who said he doesn't know much about the draft except there is a 200cm tall KPF from Adelaide who is pretty good?

The guy doesn't know the draft. I'll leave it up to the blokes who do thanks. If Hamish says Thilthorpe at 1, that's good enough for me.

 

[Thetrader15]

I think the Swans go DGB personally. He would seem the right fit with Aliir out and Campbell coming in the mids as well.

Looks good for us, likely to end up 3 and top 10. One of the 3 good ones still be there by then (LM/RT/EH) and an extra first, likely to be high next year. Brave move from syd tho.
