Please no. This guy is basically a Jy Simpkin clone. Spends more time flicking his hair back into place after a contest. I think the club also needs to be held a little bit to account for not taking Marcov who is now at the pies and has been a great acquisition for them. We need speed and he has it in abundance.

Nonetheless, Parish isn't the sort of player I rate.

I wonder IF with West Coast finishing bottom of the harbour finally; If any former agreements Re trading picks is back.?.. it would effect our Mids section.

Pick 3 - Hawthorn

What was that hypothetical trade with the GCSuns... for P4.?

Maybe it should be for P3.? with the Awks.

Or, just go all-in on P1...

 

[Scythe94]

I haven't done a mock. I guess that's not really my thing, I'm mostly just a mug that makes prospect videos and has seen so much footage of these kids that I can't help but form an opinion. Not a talent evaluator though.

I will say, in my capacity as non-expert, that this top 10 is as strong as any I've seen in a long time. You should feel great about having a chance to pick from that group.

Appreciate the input, nonetheless

GC are only putting theirs up because they need the draft points to match bids on their academy kids.

Gerard Whatley and Luke Hodge had it right on Saturday. Giving this bloke a 5 year deal is utter madness

 

[Bluelegs]

Yeah he was never leaving. Good on Essendon for holding firm.

 

[Scythe94]

Thanks for the memories

 

[MarcMaverick]

Thank ****. Bullet dodged.

Pardon the interruption. What agreement are you referring to? Be nice to get an objective opinion on what pick 1 is worth to other clubs with some sensible suggestions.

Ignore him bloke has nfi

I don’t think we will deal for pick 1 - our best chance is get the suns pick 4 then offer 4/5, but even then I’d consider that overpaying and the eagles probably would ask for more.

Anything we offer would have to guarantee you guys Curtin and something extra you'd think.

 

[Lampers]

On AFL360 they said the Eagles released a statement saying the first pick would be used to bring in young talents (plural).

It might be reading too much into it. But if they want Curtin guaranteed, even if Melbourne got their hands on pick 4 I don’t think that’s enough. North or Hawthorn would be a fair chance to go for Curtin. That would make either of those teams more likely to be able to get a deal done for Curtin.

 

[Crusty Demon]

I think Reid will be a gun, but I'm all in on going after the GC pick. 4/5 would be a strong hand and if we can somehow trade Grundy for Georgiades, or Stephens from Swans, then we'll be in a really strong position.

I reckon North will get him. They'll get some form of help from the AFL to make that happen. I'd much rather he went to Norf than Hawks.

Georgiades has pretty much just re-signed with Port I read tonight.

Guess we'll take Butters then

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Not too fussed about moving up, we'll have a good draft hand.

Trade Grundy for a pick next year.

Most important thing is that we hit the draft hard and set up our list for another 5 years.

 

[Topkent]

Been reading all this draft talk of us getting 4 and 5. I mean. It's gonna be like pick 8 by the time north get their PP and academy selection.

Thank Christ we aren't getting Parish though, don't need another mid who can't play anywhere but in the guts

No chance Norf get pp.

No chance Norf get pp.

I dunno mate 3 bottom finishes in a row, lost a #1 pick last year and haven't had access to the best player in the draft all 3 years because Daicos, Ashcroft and JUH have all gone father son or academy

The top group seems to run to about pick 8/9 this year which is very deep.

We won’t miss out if we get pick 4 and 5.

If they get Mckay compo they won't be getting another pp right after. Just no way the AFL would do something that insane. Sounds less likely than likely they get Sanders as well with how unprecedented it is for a team to ask for a specific player as assistance but I could see them getting a mid first round pp instead.

I also hate this argument because FS and academy picks affect the entire draft not just the teams who bid on them.

Yeah I'm just not gonna worry about what we're spending on pick 4 and 5 when that is so far away from reality ATM
