Spoiler: Lore's 2021 Draft Order

 

[hilly]

It was a fine win on the weekend but the likes of Geelong and Sydney would have punished our errors in the first term. If we don't win one of the next three I can see us sending a weakened side to face the Crows in R23.

Do you think Van Rooyen has traits that would be transferrable to the backline? As much as I want Gibcus; going off their history, our current first rounder will be too high for Luff and Clayton to use it on him. The most realistic outcome I see happening is taking a midfielder (Horne, Callaghan, Goater etc.) with our first and then using the second to hopefully secure one of the WA KPP's.

Amiss seems the pick of the punch atm based on performance but from everything I've read im not sure him or Williams would transition well to defence (our crucial list need imo being a young KPD). Van Rooyen on the other hand sticks out to me as one who could potentially flourish behind the ball.

What are your thoughts on any of the WA keys ability to turn into a solid CHB for us?

Remind me why Collingfilth traded their first Round pick to GWS?

Coz they thought they would finish Collingfirst !

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Remind me why Collingfilth traded their first Round pick to GWS?

I think it was ostensibly because they would be paying points for Daicos this year so wanted to get as much return as they could for their first pick, but mostly because they really, really needed to salvage something out of trade/draft time last year and try to change the narrative from the fire sale to the exciting draft sliders they had brought in.

What I don’t understand, reading a bit about it again, was why the GWS offer was the one they chose. As it turns out, though, it probably feels better for the rest of us if it’s GWS that winds up with yet another windfall high pick who will probably be great and then be traded home in a few years.

So who will be the second best kid in the draft apart from Horne and Daicos?

Depends if we want a tall or a small.

Callaghan seems to be the clear #2 atm as a 6"3 left footed wingman, with a penetrating left foot and a turn of pace. Would really fit in well with our midfield mix, considering his main criticism is that he's a little bit more outside than inside. He also started the year at half back for the Dragons, before dominating in the middle. So he has some versatility.

We don't necessarily want or need a contested bull considering our center square options moving forward. A damaging wingman with footspeed is ideal.

Gibus along with Darcy are the standout talls of the draft.

Gibcus would be Tarrant's replacement.

You take best available with first round picks

draft for need in the second round onwards

To an extent.

If you can't split the players, or there's little between them, you still need to take into account future planning and list holes.

Sounds like a better version of Polec!

 

[Psicosis]

Callaghan would really complete our midfield mix.

Alternatively...

The Gibcus/McKay combination would be very imposing.

Good problems to have...

Trade our 2022 first and get both!

Someone for Polec to take under his wing maybe and teach him how to play that role properly...

#Hornethorn is starting to grow legs on the socials.

Will sting if he ends up there.

Pendles out for the season, I honestly think Horne will be a Giant

This.

I think Collingwood finish bottom, Hawthorn will beat them.

Unless, the hawks decide to fully tank. Which I think is a real possibility

If we really are in for Kelly you'd think the consolation of Jason Horne would subconsciously ease any reluctance from them to let him go.

 

[King Corey]

If GWS were feeling really creative they could offer pies a deal to buy back their #1 pick to get in front of a Daicos bid.

Wonder what the pies would be willing to pay to have Horne and Daicos.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Now this is an unpopular idea, but I have liked this from day one. Trading next years first could open up a big opportunity for this years draft and, depending on how highly rated our boy Cooper is, we still get our man through f/s next year.
