Josh Goater might be in that range..

Fair enough, but what is likely the better way for us to go re go to the draft with that pick or get someone like dawson or lipinski

I'm going youth and midfielders with a point of difference and some grunt.

 

[DJ75]

we arent finishing below north or the suns.. seriously cannot see the suns winning another game this season.

we should beat north at AO.. and the hawks aswell.

All most likely, but we probably won't win many more games either. And with a new Covid wave happening, the games at the back end of the season could be anywhere.
I could see us losing to Hawthorn. Gold Coast winning a game or two, and the North game is anyones guess.

 

[GrommoT]

For a point of difference perhaps Finn Callaghan though he is a Vic Metro lad.

That's not a particularly flattering photo of Finn compared to this:

Not that it's my cup of tea but I can imagine he'd have a goddess like Melb gf attached to him to make him scream go-home factor like no tomorrow. Anyone seen his social media accounts?

 

[DaKids]

A question. With our 2nd round pick..would you think it better to trade for say lipinski or dawson or try to go for say an Arlo draper if he is around that mark. What is a better approach for where we are at

I would always be hitting into the draft. But that’s just me.

 

[DJ75]

I'm going youth and midfielders with a point of difference and some grunt.

I'm assuming Horne would be a perfect fit as well if available. True?

I wonder if, with Horne not available, we might be willing to trade down a little. Could trade pick 4 down to 6 or 7 and then our second pick up. Might get two high quality mids.

 

[Jack is Back]

We moved a little bit closer to our next flag today.

Losing to teams currently 1,2,3,4,7 and 11 is very achievable and hardly tanking. I expect that we will beat the Kangas but the key to pick three is a loss to the Hawks. Surely Clarko can stitch us up one more time?

I’m sorry I didn’t answer very well. What I should have said, and I’m happy to be corrected, is that the heart and soul of flag teams are built from the draft.

Sure you can trade in bits and pieces - but the draft is your foundation. I don’t think the crows are yet in that position of needing bits and pieces.

All good as i read your first comment they way you meant it and i think that is a sound approach. I just hope we can nail the 3 good picks we have

So we're all praying to tank, to get #2 while Horne still goes #1? What's the sense in that? Obviously all our hope is on Roberts now with #1 out of the question. No way we're drafting a Vic ******* at #2 who will almost certainly leave. If we had #2, we might as well trade down to #5-6-7 and get Roberts next best SAussie.....or, just do what we're doing, knock off some teams, get some wins in the kids and still take Roberts at #5-6-7.

That's why knowing NM have #1 then who cares if we go #2-7, we're still circling the same bloke, Roberts.

If Hawthorn finish below us their is no way Clarkson is letting a left footed mid with foot skills escape his grasp.

 

[Footypie32]

It's very possible that North might bid on Daicos at pick 1, then Darcy at pick 2. Would be a bit embarrassing for the AFL if it went that way, but so long as the pick 1 goes to a Victorian team, they won't change the rules.

You do have to wonder how the Dogs will match when they only have pick 17 and then 72. We might be able to offer one or two of our second round picks to assist them...

Meanwhile North could easily go for Sonsie. Vic Metro, elite mid. Would be a good fit. Just happens to leave Horne for us if we do the right thing over the next few weeks..

I'm not sure the Dogs are going to want to deal with us for awhile.

I'm pretty sure we had the best deal available for them last season as well and they turned that down. Then we went and bid on JUH...

Horne is the perfect fit for anyone.

Notable veteran Vic Metro crows players:

Rory Sloane
Daniel Talia
Tom Lynch

Notable Vic metro players who have chosen to head home:

Jack Gunston
Jake Lever

Notable players from other locations to voluntarily leave:

Dangerfield (Vic country)
Cameron (WA?)
Tippett (QLD)
Bock (SA)

Not counting Keath, Greenwood, Lyons, Crouch.


Is our fear of vic metro rational?

 

[DJ75]

Horne is the perfect fit for anyone.

That's what I thought. And is he wasn't the right fit, then you change the rest of midfield so they fit around him!

Bit harsh not to include Jake Lever …… however the Crows history with many other Calder Cannons draftees has been excellent.

If the North game ends up being away from AO, then we could easily drop that game as well.
North won't be able to move out of bottom place, so the win keeps pick 1, but gains then some momentum for the summer.
Our loss might settle us in pick 2 or 3.

 

[mattymac]

I am hoping so much that we go into hubs.

Pick 2 or 3 this year to compliment our pick 1 last year..

That's a nice base for a resurgence

Knew I was forgetting someone.

That's 2.

I dunno, if it's line ball or very close, I always take the local draftee. But if not I don't think it should play a role at all.

 

[mattymac]

Would anyone in the first round be interested in our 2nd + another 2nd (Matt Crouch compo).

Anyone apart from Collingwood (too early) and bulldogs (too late) have Academy or FS picks?

David Mackay was Vic Metro and we haven't been able to get rid of him

Why would it affect us more than others below us ??

Douglas

 

[MarcusP2]

Because it's probably gonna be in Vic and the teams below us are Vic teams (except GC).

 

[hey shorty]

Don't think it'll matter.

 

[Crow till I die]

why is it that the years we have a high draft pick, the top player or couple of players are f***ing Academy, then when they change the rule, they are father son (not even academy) so they are still going to be off limits.

In any normal year, with pick 3 say, a side could take one of Horne, Daicos or Darcy (Knightmare is absolutely huge on him and thinks he is likely the new no 1 player now)..but even if you had pick 2, there is every chance you miss out on all 3. just our f***ing luck
