I countered this yesterday. We do not have list spots to take 2 players in this draft and we brought in pick 43, so clearly we are taking 2. So clearly we have got ourselves in a pickle and we have ****ed up.Do you want to turn 18 yo players over after 2 years ?
Do we need to factor in list balance / positional balance ?
All the Club has done, realistically, is taken minimal picks in a "thin" Draft .....other Clubs have traded out of this years Draft
Problem is ....people get seduced by all the pre-draft hype on draftee's ....and think we're missing out, by holding a "dud" player
Wasn't long ago, people were happy to delist / trade Fogarty .....Oh of course, no-one will admit to that now
You gotta give some time to young players to develop .....will Moose fall again to injury, or will 2023 be his year to breakout ? ......we all have diverse opinions on players
Soligo will be one of the best mids in the comp. Can't believe how many recruiters missed him.None are your typical A grade midfield prospects obtained through missing finals and getting top ten picks.
Eg the likes of Walsh, Anderson, Rozee, Brayshaw (Freo), Serong, JHF, McCluggage, Callaghan, Petracca, Oliver, Smith, Bont, Taranto, LDU, Parish.. multiple every year really.
That worked out as well as getting pick 2 for Brad.my explanation-hope he plays well in year 1 of the contract-attracting interest-but hes still in contract then so worth more in a trade cos they knew then they wanted him gone but wanted a 2nd rounder
Yep, understand where you're coming from .....although some on this list are continually panned by supporters (Taranto, LDU, Parish, McCluggage) .....and I'm not seeing Anderson as "elite"None are your typical A grade midfield prospects obtained through missing finals and getting top ten picks.

Re-watched the Draft last night (background noise, whilst doing other things) ...... there was hardly a reaction when we Drafted Soligo .....cricketsSoligo will be one of the best mids in the comp. Can't believe how many recruiters missed him.
It's not the final list lodgement yet, and won't be for a while.I countered this yesterday. We do not have list spots to take 2 players in this draft and we brought in pick 43, so clearly we are taking 2. So clearly we have got ourselves in a pickle and we have cactus up.
This has been my push for a couple of weeks .....our F2 would have some real valueI'd be curious what F2 and 23 could get.
If clubs really don't value this year's draft, they could be interested in a package that gives them more next year.
Perhaps Melbourne at 13 or Sydney at 14?
We didn't like it when everyone was chasing our players, we don't like it when nobody is chasing them ...That worked out as well as getting pick 2 for Brad.
Don't give two year contracts to players that won't be chased by other clubs, no one is chasing our players at present
I think the real chances to draft him would be Carlton at 10 or the Bulldogs at 11, and I don't think we can trade up that high.This has been my push for a couple of weeks .....our F2 would have some real value
Not sure though, Phillipou drops past 12 at best
No .....the Club is all over the possible permutations .....it just hasn't been made publicI countered this yesterday. We do not have list spots to take 2 players in this draft and we brought in pick 43, so clearly we are taking 2. So clearly we have got ourselves in a pickle and we have cactus up.
Don't think the Club would pull a trade pick swap, unless they're very convinced the player would get to that pick .....and the talent order is still a moving beastI think the real chances to draft him would be Carlton at 10 or the Bulldogs at 11, and I don't think we can trade up that high.
No what? Do we currently have a list spot for 43? We have to delist someone and move them to the rookie draft for it to happen. A consequence of not having list spots and poor list management. There is no arguing it unless you want to build an argument to try and defend the club.No .....the Club is all over the possible permutations .....it just hasn't been made public
All our list is contracted so it involves delisting a contracted player.It's not the final list lodgement yet, and won't be for a while.
I imagine we know exactly what we're doing, but there's probably some sensitivity around how we handle it. It's not like the Rowe announcement, which was obvious to everyone.
So that’s what a half decent SC year doesNo contest ......Harry Himmelberg
Very mobile, arguably the best and longest kick at GWS ....played CHB, RUCK, and FF this year, so has enormous flexibility
Moving player to the Rookie list is common with most Clubs now ....hell, we've had Butts and other cemented players sitting on the Rookie list now for a couple of years .....it means very little, it's in reality, one list of 44No what?

You're sour, because you missed out on HHSo that’s what a half decent SC year does
Cox showed plenty up forward as a junior before settling as a defender. But why does a KPD need to have other strings to their bow anyhow?You're sour, because you missed out on HH
Hate him as a FWD ....lazy
But I'm also not high on Cox ....well, not as high as many others ....he fits into the DEF structure well, but he's still slow, and position restricted IMO
Is Cox playing KPD .....or 3rd Tall Role ?Cox showed plenty up forward as a junior before settling as a defender. But why does a KPD need to have other strings to their bow anyhow?
We will only be moving a contracted player to the rookie list because we have no list spots. Now lets say there was a delisted free agent we were after, how would we get him? We couldn't give Charmichael a contract because we have no list spots. Now lets say JHF did choose us, we would be giving up picks for next year and we have a heap of players we need to turn over, we'd be doing it with shit picks. We have given ourselves zero flexibility.Moving player to the Rookie list is common with most Clubs now ....hell, we've had Butts and other cemented players sitting on the Rookie list now for a couple of years .....it means very little, it's in reality, one list of 44
Yes, I'll defend the Club .....until such time as they don't deserve it .....at this stage, I'm very happy with the rebuild and management .....and player development
And the problem is? Salary cap? Not really an issue.All our list is contracted so it involves delisting a contracted player.
Well I picked him up just in time to get his score v NorthYou're sour, because you missed out on HH

In reality, this is because we have to upgrade two players from the Rookie List to the main list ......so what we're talking about is an exchange of players .....some coming off the rookie list, 1-2 going onWe will only be moving a contracted player to the rookie list because we have no list spots.

You can defend having contracted players you don't want playing SANFL all you want, but we have cactus up having so many contracted players this year and so many uncontracted next year.
So you think this is all going to plan? Delisting a contracted player is a **** up, surely you can see that? No matter if we have the space.And the problem is? Salary cap? Not really an issue.
Or we don't elevate Strachen to the main list.
So our strategy when we signed up these players in previous years is banking on a forced retirement due to a freak concussion?In reality, this is because we have to upgrade two players from the Rookie List to the main list ......so what we're talking about is an exchange of players .....some coming off the rookie list, 1-2 going on
If there was a DFA we were chasing .....the room would be made .....it's a hypothetical, BUT, it's also the reason we haven't yet confirmed Turner as a Rookie .....keeping our options open
In reality, there's a small chance Seedsman plays ....every chance he retires ....and I'd move Crouch to the Rookie list as a "safe" option he's not poached, given his Contract ....but again, there hypotheticals
