We'll take him in the main draft I reckon, and put him to work straight away
It's an interesting thought, I suspect we wont do it but it's worth a thoughtIf he's not bid on by our 46, reckon we trade it into next year if there's offers and run the gauntlet on getting him free in the RD. Nothing to lose doing it that way.
Seriously??**** we delisted Smith

Is that the obvious thing to do?**** we delisted Smith
Hey mate, did you end up seeing or reading the previous ESPN article from early 2024 I replied to you with showing Welsh at 7 (immediately befor Lalor and Lombard) at the start of the year? Along with a majority of seemingly guaranteed players going top 10 (Lalor, Ashcroft, FOS, Smith, Draper etc).We'll take him in the main draft I reckon, and put him to work straight away
NahSeriously??
We already traded 46 into next years draft, we’ve got 60 something.If he's not bid on by our 46, reckon we trade it into next year if there's offers and run the gauntlet on getting him free in the RD. Nothing to lose doing it that way.
Process is to nominate the rookie upgrade by the relevant list lodgement date. This locks it in, and on the night it replaces our last “live” pickDon’t we need to use 3 picks in the ND, it can include upgrading rookies but is that done on the night?
Happy Wedding day Brodie, also pack up your locker.It’s private

Anyway, no rules guru but I don’t think we can do that can we?
Don’t we need to use 3 picks in the ND, it can include upgrading rookies but is that done on the night? If we can then we’d be upgrading two rookies instead of one and risking Welsh getting to the RD so I don’t see the point.
Only bad part of his Combine that was poor was the endurance run, speed test was in the top 10% and his hops testing was perfectly fine. Only big area he needs to work on is his endurance. You clearly have never ever watched him play. The endurance factor will be a massive work on for Tyler.Considering I said two rookie upgrades, it does work. I don't think I've seen any club announce any rookie upgrades yet, so despite there not being a second list lodgment date pre-draft this year I assume there's still some kind of date for that to occur, whereas they would have to be sitting on news of a delisting that has already been processed.
Everything about Welsh screams rookie draft - no certain position at AFL level as he's too small to continue as a KPF but only has a KPF skillset, a bad combine, strong rumours about work rate/attitude issues despite being moved inside an AFL club a year early, and Adelaide isn't nearly clever enough to have schemed it all up.
Just so as I can get this straight in my head:
- we currently have 37+3
- we need to get down to 35 + whatever prior to draft night to take the obligatory 3 picks
- therefore we still need to delist 2, either completely or with a promise to re-rookie them
Our options are:
- take pick 4, Welsh and upgrade one rookie
- take pick 4, upgrade two rookies and hope Welsh slips through to the rookie draft
I think this is right- certainly the delisting to create spots.Just so as I can get this straight in my head:

Obvious for a few reasons.
So how we taking Welsh in the main draft without a delisting?Obvious for a few reasons.
1 If we were to delist a player it would be someone on less money for cap reasons. No way to we delist a big name player.
2 The deadline had passed.
3 Friday & Saturday nights are the most common time for drunk postings.

Watch Tyler carefully ....he's a natural FWD ....he has an innate ability to read the ball off the boot very quickly, and get position quicker than his opponents this yearOnly bad part of his Combine that was poor was the endurance run, speed test was in the top 10% and his hops testing was perfectly fine. Only big area he needs to work on is his endurance. You clearly have never watch him play. The endurance factor will be a massive work on for Tyler.
His father was to. And he was a magnificent kick for goal.Watch Tyler carefully ....he's a natural FWD ....he has an innate ability to read the ball off the boot very quickly, and get position quicker than his opponents this year
You can't teach that
Tyler has basically played as a stay at home FWD .....his speed and ability to read the ball, strengthsHis father was to. And he was a magnificent kick for goal.
I'm trying to assess who Tyler would be similar to playing currently, would Jake Waterman be around the mark?Tyler has basically played as a stay at home FWD .....his speed and ability to read the ball, strengths
He hasn't had to play the type of game modern fwds play, where they come much further up the ground to defend
It's a learning process now ....and as Mutineer says, the endurance, which he's never had to worry about ...will be a massive work-on
But you could say that for most of the U18 KPF's
Maybe a Tim Membrey?I'm trying to assess who Tyler would be similar to playing currently, would Jake Waterman be around the mark?
If so, I'm pretty happy to pick him up in the ND or RD
Welsh is the same height as Waterman ....playing style wise, not a bad comparisonI'm trying to assess who Tyler would be similar to playing currently, would Jake Waterman be around the mark?
