AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
This thread is a much a do about nothing.He's not a "real consideration". We need all the F picks we have, and there is nothing whatsoever to make anyone think that we'll be trading back into the first round of the 2022 draft.
May not be Phillipou specifically but Reid's own words certainly don't align with your thinking....if there's a player they really rate that slips through to where they think he's too good to pass up they have that option still using a future pick, likely the Roos 2023 2nd rounder they traded for.He's not a "real consideration". We need all the F picks we have, and there is nothing whatsoever to make anyone think that we'll be trading back into the first round of the 2022 draft.
However, consider that Phillipou "may" be taken prior to pick 8 ....making it highly unlikely we could trade back into this year's 1st round to a level, he's a real consideration
A visionary, as usualWhy stop there? Consider that Phillipou “may” be an agent for the upcoming zombie apocalypse and by drafting him we would be accelerating the end of the world?

"Adelaide General Manager List Management and Strategy Justin Reid said the pick exchange provides the Club with greater flexibility in the next two national drafts.
“We are continually exploring ways to improve our draft hand and overall playing squad, and central to our decision making are the numerous scenarios that can play out in and around the draft,” Reid said.
“This latest swap of picks aligns with our list management strategy and as always, we will be true to our talent order and see how the draft selections fall on the night.”

I doubt our F1 is available .....the 2 x F2's a possibility
Do you or anyone know who that is available next year makes us want to heavily invest in that draft.
I'm empathetic to your thoughts ....IMO it adds another 12 months to the rebuild, not adding another top 15 player
I understand the "sit back" for 12 months to properly analyze what stocks we already have ......it's a conservative approach .....but you're relying on a lot of faith in recruiting, re the strength of the Draft next year
None of which, in any way, even vaguely suggests that we will be trading back into the 2022 1st round.May not be Phillipou specifically but Reid's own words certainly don't align with your thinking....if there's a player they really rate that slips through to where they think he's too good to pass up they have that option still using a future pick, likely the Roos 2023 2nd rounder they traded for.

No, we traded 23 out as it's surplus to needs with us only needing points to bid on MM & then upgrade 2 rookies.Meh, could go either way.
We've no doubt found an option to trade out of this draft early, instead of having to do it on draft night if a bid for Michalanney came in earlier than predicted.
Protects that Pick 23 from having been chewed up, and means we're not scrambling come draft night.
I imagine that future Kangas 2nd would be a pretty juicy carrot to dangle if a player slips in the 2nd rd...
If they finish bottom next year then that's a start of 2nd round pick, which over a 2 night draft have always proved to be extremely valuable...
Do i think we're looking to trade back in? Probably not, but we certainly have some flexibility to do so now that a future 2nd can now be coupled with a future 1st....
Think that’s what i saidNobody is swapping 8 for our seconds next year.
None of it suggests we won't be either if there's a player that has slipped we rate highly enough still available on Hamish's board...we have the flexibility to do so if required.None of which, in any way, even vaguely suggests that we will be trading back into the 2022 1st round.
We’ll have a top 10 pick next year ……. highly doubt we’ll trade that pickObviously Rankine coming in is a big tick. In terms of delaying the rebuild it needs to b about experienced players coming in now - not continuing to hit the draft
Whether we agree or not the club was actually really transparent early in the year where they said they are finished rebuilding with the draft and are targeting mature talent to trade in.
That’s exactly what they have done and I dare say will continue to do next year. They feel they have the list and will now trade for filling gaps.
Our chasing high end draft talent is done for this cycle

I think you missed an s in "gap"We’ll have a top 10 pick next year ……. highly doubt we’ll trade that pick
What “gap” would we trade to fill ?
It's a masterpiece in saying absolutely nothing at all.None of it suggests we won't be either if there's a player that has slipped we rate highly enough still available on Hamish's board...we have the flexibility to do so if required.
No, we traded 23 out as it's surplus to needs with us only needing points to bid on MM & then upgrade 2 rookies.
Also, gives us more picks for the 2023 draft when we will likely have far more players out of contract & list changes needed.

How is trading our picks out of this draft making it more flexible to pick up players in this year's draft. It's actually the opposite as we no longer have early picks... just enough late ones to match MM & upgrade rookies.Maybe we did think it was surplus or, maybe we got wind that there was some interest in Michalanney further up the talent order of other clubs, and we’ve sent our Pick into next year instead of a bid coming in before Pick 23 on draft night and then we’re left scrambling trying to trade out, and if we can’t we lose a very good pick as a high 2nd rounder trying to match the bid.
I think people who think that a particular scenario has already played itself out just need to chill a bit, the list management team have done really well here, and whether you think something will or won’t happen doesn’t hide the fact that we’ve traded ourselves into a flexible position come draft night IF we did want to trade back in. That’s irrefutable.

Or even changed some of the text to say something that remotely supported his statementI think if you changed the font colour a bit more and maybe bolded a bit of the text your point would have cut through better.
On this note, we need to see if there are any more list changes by 21 Nov (when draft nominations close). I think moving players from the senior to rookie list has to be done by nominating for the ND (THIS article suggets the one-step senior to rookie list transfer was just for 2021).How is trading our picks out of this draft making it more flexible to pick up players in this year's draft.

(Club) Actions speak louder than words!
Also, why do you keep telling anyone who disagrees with you to chill? This is a discussion forum.
I think you missed this paragraph, in the article you linked:On this note, we need to see if there are any more list changes by 21 Nov (when draft nominations close). I think moving players from the senior to rookie list has to be done by nominating for the ND (THIS article suggets the one-step senior to rookie list transfer was just for 2021).
If no further changes occur by 21 Nov, we only have room to take MM in the ND and we can be more certain that that's it.
But if we see another player or two get delisted and nominate for the ND by 21 Nov (eg. Seeds or Crouch maybe) in order be moved to rookie list, we'll know the Club is keeping open the option to trade back into 2022.
There's still plenty of time right now.
They will, however, be able to shift players on the senior list to the rookie list in the time between the national and rookie drafts if the player is contracted for 2022.
