There’s a strategy here I’m not seeing - what are our current picks? Must be thinking 25 will get eaten up by an earlyish Coleman bid plus a late pick for Fullartn upgrade? Or do we not even need a pick for that anymore

 

[Shaka7]

Pick 25 might likely be pushed back, not sure to what extent....maybe say 32. It also depends on any bidding that happens between pick 19 and 25

 

[LIONS08]

It’s pretty clear no team was willing to offload an earlier pick for our two firsts this year. This year the draft is insanely compromised let alone none of the vic kids playing. Two first round picks in next years draft is a much better decision (ours and Melbourne)
Just think of the players that bolted up the draft order in recent times. Oliver and Bont to name a few. Next years draft looks deep before these sliders are injected from this year. Personally I think it’s a great idea to get out of this years draft

 

[BuntonRules]

Obviously don't rate what we would have got at 18/19 this year.

If Melbourne make finals this will be looked at as a shocker of a trade, worse than Gold Coast pick swap with us

Whatever happens, I just hope that North keep their grubby fingers off our future CEO!

On second thought it's basically changing two first round picks this year for two in a stronger draft that won't be compromised by NGA picks. Even if Melbourne finish up the ladder by virtue of the strength of the draft we'll be taking picks from that's probably a win.

 

[rockypls]

Makes sense - we have no list spots this year. Just watch Melbourne win the cup next year knowing how these have gone for us the last few years

 

[trikster]

So with first pick now (currently) 25, are they still hoping to get a pick in before a Coleman bid or expecting to us 25 for Coleman?

 

[dlanod]

More melts in-coming

This is what I was expecting but surprised at the responses.

I don't like it. A first round pick and a six pick downgrade for a round and a half upgrade next year. I'm risk adverse at the best of times and this could easily end up like the Suns trading for our future pick.

 

[Lionmoe21]

We don't have the list spots to use 18 & 19 this year anyway. Gives us more options next year and could still be a top 10 pick. I don't mind it

 

[Shaka7]

Or they want to give the kids on the list a go first. No need investing in more development when you have potential all around you, so happy to forego this year's draft and only get Coleman who we know.

 

[Simba Moyo]

Seems like a decent trade, especially considering that picks 18/19 could get pushed well into the mid-late 20's. I'd much prefer having the flexibility of two 2021 first round picks.

Pretty cruisey draft night this year.
_____ (25)
Coleman
Fullerton

There's no way we'd use 25 on Coleman if he hasn't been bid on. I'd expect us to be tipping afterwards.

 

[martinson]

Say 18, 19 and 30-35 for 10-15 , 25 and some late picks?

Seems about fair

Obviously there'll be a plan there. As long as Melbourne don't find themselves back in the top 4 again.

Looks about as good as swapping picks with Port who finished on top of the ladder the following year. Melbourne will be top 4 next year.

Are you thinking you might need to change your avatar?

Yeah probably not much point adding 2 more Ely Smith's or Dev Robertson's

 

[Bring Martin Pike Back]

We even botch trading draft picks; what a joke of a trade with Melbourne.

So much for getting pick 7 or 8 this year.

Seriously mate, you make for really tiring reading, why don't you log off for a while

 

[ZoBlitz]

It's the deathride threads that kill us...

 

[Dalions]

It feels like we keep going double or nothing on these future first round picks in the hope of randomly getting a top 5 pick at some point.

Melbourne is a pretty good bet.
They just had their good year.

 

[Toffee Lion]

I think many in here are overrating Melbourne. They have a history of losing for the last 20 years, bar one year.

At best I have them sneaking in around 8th but easily could see them finishing in the 9th-13th bracket.

Why don't you ignore my posts?

I recommend utilising the function if you're that precious.

Will be interesting to hear what Dom Ambrogio has to say about the move. Wouldn't surprise me if they did it to avoid the risk of picking players they don't know enough about.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Melbourne will be top 4 next year.

Lol. Imagine actually being this miserable.
