Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII - 'Loopy' Gone Off The Rails

[9874123]

Not sure if its been mentioned before but hearing Carlton really interested in Ned McHenry.

No disrespect intended but one of the least naturally talented footballers I've ever seen taken in the first round. Amazing runner, and tries extremely hard though.

So who won trade week?

According to TheAge Carlton were graded as #1 with an A. Geelong was 2 and Gold Coast 3, with both also graded an A but I guess they thought Carlton had the edge on both of those and so ranked us at the coveted # 1 spot. Bravo Austin!

I don't think that's right. You just need one pick in the 2nd round or later (if you don't have a 1st)

If you don't have a F1, you need the set of F2, F3 & F4 "or better", so 2x F2 & a F4 would be ok

 

[Soapy V]

Brownlows have never bee more worthily won 0 single-handerdly carries all.

However, consider that our midfield chasm is so wide that a midfielders award should go to the team with the widest chasm.

When fit Cripps Walsh Cerra Hewett Dochety Elijah Lord is as good as anyone. Will get better this year with Pick 3, Fogarty, Kemp, Durdin, Williams, Motlop helping as well

This is supported by TDK who is as good a game winning Ruck as there is in the AFL

 

[Accidental genius]

Losing Kennedy for pick 38 is dissapointing but I assume he wanted the trade ….looked like he’d made up his mind to leave immediately after being subbed off during elimination final.

So we were forced to get a deal done and in the end we took slight unders. I was thinking he’d be ~20-30.

 

[No1Suspect]

Most if not all picks for bids are after our pick 38, its not going to move up, the others though will

 

[BigFrizz36]

And he didn’t have to go to the Saints B & F.

That's what they call a win/win

We need to get Pick 3 right. Sid Draper seems to be that player that we need, and can play as early as Round 1. I hope we don’t just draft FOS because he’s a current players cousin. Might be a super player and one worth drafting but I hope there is more thought put into who we take at 3.

 

[DollarsandSense]

For those right into the points and bidding.
I’m sure there’ll be bids on other academy and FS before our 38.
Will this number come down at all?

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

I’ve read that Draper has played the whole year in sanfl whilst others in top ten prospects have played the other comp (whatever it’s called) against other similar aged.

Can any please confirm.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Not to be a negative downer, we could say that every year, as could 10 clubs about there lists

Don’t get me wrong I think it’s been a pretty good trade period though

We could and can and most clubs can't say that whilst also having TDK Cripps Charlie harry Walsh Weitering as stars.

Other clubs are hoping players develop into stars. We are simply hoping our players are fit. We already know how fckn good they are when they are fit.

Yes, Draper played 9 senior SANFL games, while Victorian prospects played max 1-2 games in the VFL, with most of their games coming in the u18 Talent League.

I think Ashcroft has also played some VFL and done very well, we have some draft watchers here that will know better though

Cerra would have some competition for best shoulders.

Love Draper and hope we get him, but let’s not get carried away.

A well built 180cm player hardly evokes “frightening” vibes. Would be the smallest of our mids.

 

[RPCB]

That’s a good question, not sure. The big danger IMO is Richmond. Norf are 2 but they might be scared off taking another South Aussie.

 

[HaydossJ]

Time to turn attention to the draft

 

[HaydossJ]

Draper will be available at 3.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

If we aren't taking Draper wonder what we could get for doing a trade with the Crows for Pick 4.

As soon as we float the offer they know we aren't taking Draper and don't give us anything

 

[Lace_Out]

This guy is basically Fogarty but nowhere near as clean. He can't kick. Courageous and ferocious tackler though!

Enough of the shitekickers, we need skill, hurt factor.

If we can get Draper, Smith or even FOS in + Ben Camporeale I reckon we have secured our midfield moving forward

Walsh, Pick #3, Cerra, Campo, Lord (know it’s early but he looks likely)

I’m optimistic for Lucas too, I think he will thrive in the AFL system as opposed to SANFL and junior leagues
