Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

[Bamboo Harvester]

Neither Richmond nor us are moving up to 2.

If we were playing funny buggers and fake leaking, and wanting Crows to jump us, it would be to so we could get FOS (who there is still a chance of North taking).

Or, if it’s a more legitimate concern for Adelaide, it might be that they want Smith, and if North keep 2 they take Foss instead of Tauru, and then we’d take Smith as our second choice. If everyone thinks we’re legitimately taking Draper, there’s no reason for the Crows to trade up. They would still get Smith at 4.

Yep, I reckon the Cows have about as much idea as any of us who we're looking to pick.

They obviously have a target and are looking to trade up with the assurance we don't take him. A bit like Dodoro last year.

I still think there’s a decent chance the Tigers trade for 2. What makes you so sure they won’t?

Because everything I’ve seen says they won’t.
And if they were willing to make a trade, then how would Adelaide even be a consideration?

What have you seen that says they will?

It’s interesting that Adelaide would even consider moving up to 2 for Jagga (although that could all be media bullshit) if everyone thinks we’re taking Draper.

Because they don’t want Jagga, they want the local boy

And going on what SOAP is saying they are pretty sure we want Draper

We need RoyalBlues to get on and tell us exactly what's happening.

As much as his musings throw this place into a frenzy, has he ever got anything right?

We could start a Cvlt

It’s possible

Reckon the Tiggs would prefer the Cows trading up for pick 2....would mean that Norf most likely takes Tauru at 4.

They have pick 1 (Lalor) - and in turn means that they'll get one of FOS/Jagga/Draper/Langford/Smillie at pick 6 without having to trade anything away. Rumours are they're keen on Smillie at that pick, but they'd no doubt be all over Langford like a fat kid on a cupcake if he's still available at that pick.....or even Jagga, which is also a distinct possibilty.

If we had picks 1 and 6 in this draft, I'd be sitting quite smugly....which is exactly what I can see the Tiggs doing.

I think the adelaide musing about moving up for Smith isnt because they want him and think we will take him. They could want draper, and think we want him too. So they make it known they want to move up for smith rather than draper, as if we really want draper, we can outbid them for pick 2. 3+38 in this draft is more exciting than 4 and a future second next year. Maybe we really do want Smith and pull the trigger on that trade instead of adelaide, and draper falls to them either way.

I like it. Not sure whether it is right or wrong but i like it none the less. Ducks and drakes being played out by both sides.

I think we wind up with FOS.

My preference is Draper over him though.

Draper will have the bigger impact over the next 3-4 years (he's much more 'ready to go') even if FOS lives up to his early hype and turns into the player a lot of people say he'll be (and a lot of people who know a lot more than me have him at 1 or 2 in mocks).

I'd take Lalor over both, but the Tiges snaffle him up at #1.
