2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[Blackhawk42]

Sydney have the weird mix of hitting on their rookies and ****ing up their national draft picks (academy excluded)

I did some research. They've certainly had 1st and 2nd round hits (Warner, Rowbottom, McCartin, Florent), however some 1st and 2nd round misses over the past decade have been a little funny.

James Rose
Jack Hiscox
Passed on a bid for Josh Dunkley
Matthew Ling
Will Gould
Angus Sheldrick
Traded out the pick we used on Josh Weddle
Cooper Vickery
Jacob Konstanty

They are VERY fortunate to have that academy.

If they get better at drafting in the first and second round they might only lose the next grand final by 4-5 goals.

Gee, that's a fair bit to give up for 19+future 3rd! Pick 33+ something around 14-18. Hopefully 18 which will mean you know what?

You can forget about getting a fair deal mate. If u want to get 19 u r going to have give a lot or u won't get it. F1 33 FOR 19 AND F3 sounds about right given others that have moved up in the past.

Yep some people seem to think trading works purely off the DVI calculator. It doesn’t take into account the live trading premium or the strength of the particular draft. In context Carlton who were desperate and acting like a live trader gave us f1/2 for 14 alone so for 19 and 53 (approx f3) then f1 and 33 is on par. Also swans want f1/2 picks for academy next year they won’t be giving those up.

If you want something you pay for it.
From what I'm told the deal is there but it's on hold. I don't know the details of the final deal - it was originally 33 & F1 for 19 & F3 but it's on hold till draft night.

I'm assuming we've put it on hold until we're sure the player we want is available at that pick. I'm backing the club fully on this, after all they specifically targeted Weddle and he's turned into a huge plus so if the club is willing to pay for this player X then I'm all for it.
I've looked at all the draft lists from Cal to RookieMe and everything in between about who's there in the low 20's and I'm just getting a headache.

I'd love to know who we're targeting.

If what I've been told is true, we're dealing with Swans.
33 & F1 for pick 19 and F3. There may be other picks involved.
If that happens there must really be someone we're targeting who's rated to go in the low 20's.

We'd have to wait till pick 19 to do the trade and only if our target is still there.

Would Swans risk it again after Weddle? Clearly we knew something they didn't there. Perhaps they find out who we want and take them for themselves.

With Weddle trade we paid a F2+F3 to slide up from 27 to 18

With this trade we are proposing to pay a F1(& get F3) to trade up from pick 37(33) to 23(19)

9 pick slide up vs 14 pick slide up

If really our target is there, I don't mind it but this is said to be even draft. We have the likes of Sims, Davis etc being ranked from 25 all the way to 40.

The diff in quality of player at 19 vs 33 doesn't seem big. On that basis the cost of F1 seems excessive.

But if really someone we rate in Top 15 is still there at 23, I say go for it.

PS : compared to this trade the Weddle trade seems like a real steal even though it seemed like massive overs then, I was fine with trade then too.

If I had to guess as to who might be there we would target that won’t get to 33, either a mid/fwd like Taj Hotton or Cooper Hynes or a tall fwd like Shanahan or one of the Whitlocks. They might like Matt Whitlock given his positional flexibility.
