they might split the F1 to get a late first this year and a projected late first next year
I take it you've never seen him play

Does he get lots of AFL fantasy points???
I would prefer we get our ruckman from the rookie list or a cheap trade. You know like all of the premiership teams over the past decade have done.
Over the past 10 years - here are your premiership ruckman Darcy Fort, Mason Cox, Rhys Stanley, Max Gawn, Nankervis/Soldo, Lycett/Vardy, Jordan Roughead, McEvoy/Hale. You wanna tell me its a good idea to invest a first round pick into the Ruck position?
Surely no team would do that.
I think it's up to the team who wants in to this draft (known quantity) to overpay for a pick.
Accepting futures which aren't a round earlier, is a huge risk for another club. They don't benefit now, and they might end up looking really silly next year if he other team (in this case is) has a spike.

If we trade our future first for GC pick 12 I’m picking another mid or at the very least mid-forward every day of the week. I’m sure Dodson will be a good player but I don’t think we should be reaching with our picks leading up to Tassie entering the comp.

What the premiership ruck list tells me is we need a Geelong reject ruckman
We were going to use a first last year on Taylor Goad, who absolutely smashed it at the combine. Well he struggled to get 3 touches a game in the VFL this year.
Now he might well turn out to be a really good player, but it won’t be for 5 years so I’m glad North trumped us, and If you redid the draft now he wouldn’t go top 40. Trading next years 1st to get Dodson would be absolute folly.

The dream would be if we did that, having Travaglia there at that pick
Travaglia looks great doesn’t he? Both he and Tauru developed a lot over the year and both might well end up being top 5 players out of this draft.
If Freo want Chad Warner next year, would they be looking to trade their pick 9 or 10 out? Pick 12 could be an awquard spot, but 10 should get Travaglia or Tauru, maybe even Murphy.

Not about us, but its port pushing houston out for draft picks, not him demanding to leave. Davies essentially confirming this
- Thread starter

But but but Port fans have been denying this.
He's not just a ruckman though, thats the point.

Ohhh what else is he?
If you get a Gawn, or Dean Cox... you'd look like a genius.
I wouldn't do it though.

Port Trade Whispers: Houston latest after free agent’s snubbing; hope young gun will stay despite Sun’s likely arrival
‘I’ll be really clear’: Twist in Port star’s trade request; mystery over deal for No.2 pick — Whispers

“As it stands right now with the trade period not even starting, we’ve got a decent period of time to be able to work through with Dan and any other club who wants to pay for his services,” Davies told AFL Trade Radio. “Our perspective has always been that we would prefer Dan to stay.
Of course it is Port's preference for him to stay ...wink wink..nod..nod..but we also want to ship you to the highest bidder instead of saying, no your ARE contracted and will stay
Its like fishing, port are trying to bait up for King George Whiting but right now are only attracting trumpeters and puffers and its p155ing them off...lol

Isn’t that relevant to the quality of the drafting rather than the value of the player?Except Cox went in the Rookie Draft and Gawn was a 3rd rounder
Let’s say you were confident you had another Cox or Gawn at 12 would you take it? Ruckman that are more than just tap ruckman but who also offer a lot around the ground?
Now I get mids are vital, but clubs throw a lot of picks at mids and at 12 your just as likely to get a Jones as your are a Butters.

I was just being cheeky.
Well if you are guaranteeing me one of the two greatest ruckman of all time at pick 12 then its obviously a yes.
If I am sitting at pick 12 and I know there is a Judd or a Cox there - I am taking Judd. If I am sitting at 12 and I am confident there is a Petracca/Gawn - I am taking Petracca.
If I had a first round pick (where there are no guarantees) then I would much rather take a swing on an important position (midfield / key forward) than waste it on a ruckman.
Meh - its not necessary. All of these premiership sides with shitty ruckman - it's not just a coincidence.
Thats drafting though. The risk is the same for ruckman as it is for midfielders.
The payoff for landing an elite mid gives you a far greater chance of winning a flag than landing an elite ruckman.
How many mids do we need? We have been stocking up on them for the last few years. We are now going to take another one this year with pick four which is great, but I think we have every right to take non mids with any other picks this year.
We can only fit so many guys in the middle, no point having 20 mids on our list when most will either have to play in another role or in the SANFL. We often end up having to play mids as small forwards as we can't fit them in the middle. How about we actually draft a small forward who can play there.
I agree that a first rounder is probably a bit early for a ruck, but if you can get a potential long term quality option then I am happy to take him at that range. We need to bring in a young project ruck this year one way or another. And then next year we need to replace Stachan with a younger back up option.

I want enough mids to make sure we end up with 3-4 A grade ones

That interests me, if he's not just a ruckman what else is he, can't say I've seen him play anywhere else much?
Can't see AFL clubs looking at him as anything other than a top ruck prospect?
