[hey shorty]

Hollands might last til 8.... Maybe

 

[Mutineer]

Hollands might last til 8.... Maybe

I think a bid for Breaden Campbell comes in pretty early too, Lachie Neale with wheels and agility which might push a couple back.

Oh dear, not another small midfielder!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Honestly re: Hollands, he would've been my pick for our selection before he got injured. A classy, X-factor type that can already accumulate reasonably well

I probably wouldn't take the risk on him at pick 1 now due to his ACL, but IF we get top compensation for Brouch IF he leaves, do we pull the trigger then? I'm tempted to say yes

 

[Mutineer]

Oh dear, not another small midfielder!

That will be tearing opposition clubs a new one in years to come....he's a gun.

 

[Thetrader15]

Our management of the salary cap and long term deals to mediocre or ageing players is a far bigger issue than what we've received in return for departing players.

and yet when we don't off these long term deals to meiocre or ageing players like Greenwood, CEY or Keath, people crack the s**ts

 

[Dangerousfield]

Tell me again what makes Brad Crouch such an outstanding midfielder that another team will pony up sufficient $ and years to get us Band 1?

FFS, people on here have been wanting to drop him but expect other teams to be blind to his shortcomings that they'll cough up sufficient for Band 1. Get real folks, we've got pick 1 in the bag but next pick/s out in the mid/late teens by the time a handful of NGA players are matched.

James Frawley ring any bells? It's all about needs and what you need to pay to get someone out of a club.

He will be offered a good contract here and we can match, so the other club will need to pony up to make him want to go there

 

[GrommoT]

... but next pick/s out in the mid/late teens by the time a handful of NGA players are matched.

But that's alright providing clubs keep those clubs with FS/Academy prospects honest by bidding at the appropriate levels (**), our pick will still be from the same bunch of available players (ie. no point looking at likely unavailable FS/Academy prospects).


**granted this might be harder to do this year due to the large number of FS/Academy prospects and some clubs may well get away with double dipping.

Phillips, Thilthorpe (B.Crouch compo) and Hollands is the dream.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Phillips, Thilthorpe (B.Crouch compo) and Hollands is the dream.

Finish last, get band 1 compo for Brad, then trade out a player (Laird?). Combine that pick with the GWS pick then those 3 players sound very gettable.

 

[JennyTalia]

I agree. This should be our realistic target.

 

[Golumless]

Reid might have gotten very lucky with the Gibbs trade as pick 21 actually allow us to trade with GWS for their 2nd rounder (pick 28) + Carlton's future 2nd rounder (pick 23)

I wouldn't include the 2nd deal in it, personally (because we'd have to factor that trade is still live). Though it does muddy up the waters of it.

I think we'll get a first round pick for Brad, regardless. He has hype, pretty good reputation though this year has been a struggle and we have enough cap space to match a band 2 offer which is the elephant in the room here (and depending on the club, might see them offer enough to not lose a 1st round pick)

I'd expect us to have to cry poor to the AFL and say we're a really untalented team who is losing their best midfielder (helps when its true) and in desperate need of something to make players want to stay in Adelaide/or more talent, but it should be doable with a borderline offer. At worse, we match and demand a first.

Mutineer where do you see Durdin landing? The times I’ve seen him, his goal-sense and agility are first-class - strikes me as that clever small forward who could push into the mids on occasion ala Toby Greene/Devon Smith.

Durdin would be our ideal 4th pick before Luke Edwards after the three I mentioned before. Early 20s might be realistic.

Pick 1 Phillips
Pick 2 Thilthorpe (B.Crouch compo)
GWS 1st + Dogs 2nd to Swans for Pick 6. Hollands.
Crows second (20) Durdin
Luke Edwards (22)
Tariek Newchurch (40)
Borlase (50)

 

[StonesThrow]

I'd like Durdin based on what I've seen. We need a player like him.

Dudley in 2021 will be good too.

Where does he play in the AFL?

Can't see him ever legitimately playing midfield at AFL level personally....he'll be pigeon-holed as a small forward and even by small forward standards he lacks height which he somewhat combats with a good leap , he's not quick either which he combats with his elite footy smarts. Very hard to place players like him but if I had to have a guess I'd say late 2nd/3rd round.

I think he will go slightly higher due to SANFL form.

Boyd Woodcock was another small forward who had a strong year and playing league in his draft year but went at pick 76 and yet to play a senior game for port.

Id be shocked if he went top 25 personally

 

[Mutineer]

Maybe but I'll use Caleb Daniel as a comparison played 11 senior games at South Adelaide in his draft year, was the outstanding SA player at the Nationals, All Australian, and was far more naturally gifted athletically than Durdin yet he was the 6th player selected in the 3rd round of his draft year. All down to stature IMO.

Pick 1 Phillips

Just read the pin profile on previous page

I like how he is described as tough as nails - certainly looks like he has had a few knocks

Any vision anywhere?

I liked what I've seen from Durdin, but we don't need another midget.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yeah Durdin’s not quite athletic enough for his size to make me confident he’ll be in the top 40. Some great form, but a bit of a tweener in that regard

 

[Thetrader15]

It was that the dogs needed to split picks to get the players they wanted and had offered Keath a good long term deal - that we didn't apparently push for pick 13 for say Keath and our 2nd which was low 20's from memory looks like a big lost opportunity

Apparently they didn't NEED to split the pick afterall. They just gave a future 2nd instead and their 2019 2nd for Bruce.

We would have liked them to but if Reid did that in the reverse, I'd be pretty disappointed
