Little announcement because this is the Draft thread (and some shameless plugging but let's be honest we want this)...

We've just got a YouTube channel and we're creating some videos to put up from next week (interviewing a NAB League coach about players, snippets from our live draft night, draft reviews etc.). Then next year we're looking at creating some exciting content. We want to produce a number of shows (to fill the void left by future stars) and try and really take that area to the next level.

We've been lucky enough to not have to really have any major advertising or certainly any paywalls so it would be appreciated if people could subscribe as it's another way we can keep growing

Liam McMahon is a Riser as not heard of him.

Could he be Someone we might look at?

Kevin Bacon is in the draft?

 

[zhoung]

Yeah I have to admit, that’s ******* infuriating. We should have been working our bums off to get those kind of value picks.

so the pick after the one we got for Stephenson

No, this just means we haven't transferred any senior players onto the Rookie list during this period.

Noble,
Tohil

would be on the Cat A rookie list.

With
Wilson
Keane

On Cat B

Keane is cat A, Tohill cat B. Not that it really matters as there aren’t any playing restrictions next year.

Oops. I knew it was one or the other. Must have gotten them mixed up.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

My understanding is that it’s taken from your next pick, but I don’t believe the scenario you presented can play out.

We need to remember the bids on JUH and Campbell will push things back so a bid by Essendon with their first pick (8) will be matched with our first pick (16) providing a 174 point deficit.

Alternatively a bid with their 3rd pick (assuming they don’t bid on another player) which would then be 10 would leave us with a 49 point deficit after we use 16.

We don’t know the full picture yet, but the post by our Adelaide based friend was an interesting scenario and one that wouldn’t surprise in the slightest given Perkins is likely to figure in Essendon’s picks plus DGB/ Reid/ Cox. Who knows Phillips could be the one to slide all the way out of the top 10...

Oh yeah I know the picks won't be that, just did it for the sake of simplicity.

That just means we haven't shifted any senior listed players back to the rookie list this year Dave.

We will still have Keane and Noble on the rookie list but we may not take any additional rookies in the rookie draft as we already have to take six players now in the National Draft.

The Swans found a sneaky draft loophole last year. The AFL just closed it

I had this clever Sydney trade in the back of my mind as an example of what we could do to manipulate the situation to our advantage should an early bid for Reef be made but alas I had forgotten the AFL quickly looked to close this loophole.

For arguments sake if we had entered into a trade agreement with Adelaide and Essendon ended up making a bid I was hoping we could do one trade with Adelaide prior to matching the bid (we trade pick 16, they "hold" 14 for us and give back 22) and then one further trade with Adelaide at the next selection for our future 1st ( they trade pick 9 and "hand back" 14). Of course if we didn't want to sacrifice 22 on matching a bid other alterations could be made.

This article though would seem to indicate this wouldn't be possible even though they're two separate trade deals because we're dealing with the same club again.

Yeah, I think the AFL stopped that after Sydney found a loophole to get back into the draft.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Hopefully there is a mature age forward we can take with a later pick - dare I say it, a Riccardi type.

Safe to say you saw my post in the Trade thread.

Simply put, if you do something new and ground breaking on the night, the AFL usually doesn't override then and there. At best they'll change the rules afterwards

Grundy comes last in the 2km every year. Would you consider him to have poor endurance, or would you say he consistently blows up his opponent with his ability to get around the ground? Maynard was drafted with poor endurance. Cripps was drafted with poor endurance. Hodge was recruited with poor endurance.
You don’t have to turn these guys in to marathon runners. Endurance as a general rule can be improved significantly once a player enters the system.

For every example you give to prove i'm wrong there are dozens proving otherwise.

Grundy is over 200cm and has cemented his place in the side for the last 3 seasons at least, he doesn't need to bust a hump lol.

Every person has a ceiling when it comes to endurance, same as everything in life.

Keane is cat A, Tohill cat B. Not that it really matters as there aren’t any playing restrictions next year.

It's the other way around according to 35Daicos, who I think contacted the AFL to find out. When we first signed them we rated Tohill higher, which is probably why we listed him as the Cat A Rookie.

Apex certainly has that right - Keane has been the Cat A. all along, Tohill the Cat B. I've pointed that out lots of times over the last year or so!!

This is how it was shown in the Rd. 1 Football Record this year:

# = Category A
* = Category B

Sorry. I completely misunderstood your post the other day. I thought you were saying that Keane was the Cat B.

No worries, mate. I'm pretty sure I would not have said that, unless I was totally pi**ed! If you want to remove your last couple of posts I'll do the same (including this one), and no-one will be the wiser!! I think everyone else has gone to bed!

Nah it's fine. My stupidity deserves to remain on record.
