List Mgmt. 2021 Young Talent Time

[Freoforever86]

Ward, Hobbs and Gibcus plus those predicted to go later e.g. NWM

I see a few options there.
1 - I’d be avoiding all them and going Wanganeen. Silk and skill.
2 - if we want more inside Hobbs
3 - trade pick 10 to someone like Richmond for 17 and a 2nd rounder.

Would Brissie be interested too? Gibcus would suit them. Depending on how keen they are, they could give us a future first and their picks 14 and 18 in return for 8 and 19???

there would be a few teams pretty keen if Ward and Gibcus were still there at 10.
Essendon, GWS, Richmond & Hawthorn especially

Hobbs threw shade at playing for us being an interstate team, please Freo don't make that same mistake again!

On the Draft Countdown he said he was particularly excited about playing for a couple of clubs and when they asked him to specify he mentioned Richmond first (understandable given he's a fan) and then Freo. So that didn't sound like throwing shade. Although it did kinda sound like he expected to be taken by Freo as the most likely.

 

[mayne iac]

I think it’s an issue, Schultz can’t kick or hit the scoreboard, Swit is always injured, Colyer is average at his best and Walters washed up

WTF SHultz is probably our most reliable shot on goal, what are you smoking!??

GCSs too. Imagine squeezing next year's 1st into a deal. But that would mean a straight swap, so could follow up by trading our own first round to another club.

Why worry about a second round pick in next seasons draft.
There is a coming year to be concerned about that.
Keep the 19 pick and draft for today, plenty of water to go under the bridge before 2022 draft.

Totally agree, we need to move beyond a team that marks its highlight as the free agency and draft period. After this draft we will have had a number of years to get the drafting right, now it is about getting them all onto the oval on a consistent basis and making players have to fight for a spot which will generate success.

Strong word late yesterday the Dockers were considering Hobbs before Amiss. There's some games going on between Richmond and Freo, which made the phantom draft hard to do. I think if both Erasmus and Johnson are still on the board, they'd choose Johnson.

 

[Wabjub]

With the amount of NGA talent in next years draft I doubt we will be wasting this years picks for next year. May hit next years draft with lower picks but more NGA choices.

Sounds like the good ones are inside the top 40. We will need to do it the old fashion way if we want them

 

[Wizard]

I feel like at this point if we end up with anyone in our first two picks thats not Amiss, Johnson or Erasmus i will be pretty disappointed.

In saying that, in the moment i was pretty disappointed in us drafting Serong.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Looks like Hobbs at 6.

I don't mind that personally

There wasn't a loot of WA talent in the mix at the Sarong pick though. He was clearly best available. I'll be disappointed if we don't get at least 1 local with our first 2 picks especially if 2 or more are available. Word is that its very even after the top 4 or 5 picks so why look elsewhere when the West Aussies fit needs.

If Fremantle are actually strongly considering Hobbs I would suggest there would be zero "word". Why would we want Richmond to know that?

It is a shot at getting an elite extractor to pair up with Darcy (even if it takes a year or two). It would really allow the chance to get maximum value from any ruck dominance, ala Barlow transforming Sandi's work in 2010.

 

[Freoforever86]

Imagine if Freo ran the risk and grabbed Hobbs only for Richmond to grab Amiss.

then JVR gone by 19.

be a massive **** up

We've got the pick before the Tigers, so we wouldn't really care what they know I guess.

We also have the pick right after them, we absolutely dont want Tigers knowing who we want

They might be banking on Richmond being more inclined to grab Gibcus if available as a KPP.

Live trading is going to be quite active in this draft I reckon.

 

[arsesmart]

Well I don't think they would grab a player to spite us if it isn't someone they want, but I should have specified who we'd take with our first pick. Given the distance to their next pick, it's much more incumbent on Richmond to keep who they want from us in the cone of silence.

 

[DragoDelph]

If they really want hobbs, and think we’ll take him, they could offer a pick swap to move up one place, and throw in a second to sweeten it.
it’s all a question on who blinks, and who bluffs

Ohhhh that would be super tasty

It'd be like the witch test. If we take the offer then we didn't really want Hobbs that much so Tigers would think they shouldn't offer it, yet should we knock it back then they should have and likely double down.
