Gold Coast had no interest in our 2023 pick with 2 high end Academy picks next year they'll most likely trade out there 2023 1st as well for points.
Would be very happy with this. Has some of the traits we lack - a bit more height than Soligo/Berry, powerful and aggressive, has taken over games at times this year
If we really like him, we could package both our 2023 2nd and the north 2023 2nd for a play at a teens 1st rounder this year. Would sort of mitigate missing Phillipou and preserve our 2023 1st
2nd rounder sounds maybe a bit too easy, though. His draft range is huge I reckon - could go as low as 35, but as high as 8
What exactly are these character questions, damned if I can find anything unless you consider his intensity to get the best out of himself a character flaw?
Fair enough, so you go through trade week trying to get another club involved who would want our future 1st. There would have been heaps keen through the whole JHF debacle. We could always back down last minute but we didn’t even try, so I assume we didn’t rate Phillipou or we like someone next year.
We might have to trade one of those 2nds into this year first, but yeah that would be my preferred way of doing things. Means we can have another shot at a top prospect next year
Not coming from me, but just what I’ve read around the draft rumours section. More so unwilling to leave WA, so maybe some maturity concerns?
I've heard a couple of his interviews and it's come up several times re moving interstate and he really doesn't seem to have a problem when that question's been put...of course some have said that and hightailed it out but taken at face value I think that may be a beat up too.
The competitiveness of Adelaide assures we aren't bottom three. North, Hawthorn in particular are tanking. Adelaide is too competitive to finish bottom 4 even though I'd like it. Youngest list and no elite midfield but mark this down. We won't finish bottom 3!!
Would make sense, seems we’re taking a level-headed strategy. Hope so, at least
Just a question on that. What would be the mechanism to trade one in first as I thought you could only trade for picks when the club wanting to trade is on the clock and therefore if say its x team at pick 15 and we want that pick, how could we have traded one of the 2nds we have back in previously?
I’m not aware of this rule, it might be a thing but I always thought you could trade for any pick whenever? Just that clubs like to do it more when they’re on the clock
You could be right - I have just taken it that it was as per my comment but not based on anything hard and fast
Cept you can't trade for a pick you held before that you traded wasn't it? AFL ruled against us didn't they? Think the Dees was the other club?
Yep that’s definitely a rule
That's because we traded it for Izak Rankine. Will hopefully be a good player.
