They've just freed up about $2m from next year and although not as much beyond that they can pull forward that $2m back into next year from other contracts.

Yes, and no. Greater competition but it’ll be the club that pitches the right long term home for whatever is driving the FA’s switch that should win the signature.
Agreed, Cox in particular looks to have a great mix of attributes. Was more just nit picking at the use of the term.
I realise he’s consistently inconsistent,but I’m beginning to think we should have used a later pick and nabbed McKernan for insurance. Covered ruck and fwd line
Very ordinary footballer. That's why he's only accrued 87 games by age 30.
Or perhaps a state league prospect?

No. He's a woeful footballer.
Essendon get a pass mark this off-season from me purely for having parted ways with him.

Couple there the club could be looking at, Gault and Rowe
Couple of others that aren't on that list
All good...
Cox certainly imo has the xfactor but i completely agree with you rating Reid so high, i think he has a far greater natural defensive qualities from the footage I’ve seen... Perkins is a beauty and one i rate really highly as well...

Who would you be thinking of? I can't see many of the elite players wanting to leave from their respective clubs, let alone to go to Collingwood after that debacle.
Only ones you would think would be Kelly or Parker that might be a chance. Would be very keen on Kelly, but he'd want at least 800-900k+.
Can't see Billings, Bontempelli etc leaving.
Dodoro would almost certainly match and would want 2 first rounders, one top 10, which seems very steep for Merrett.

Perkins I really like the look of. Just a natural footballer. Will be annoying if he ends up at the Dons. Is decent size too at 188 cm.
Reid is an interesting one. I don’t particularly rate him that highly when comparing to KPDs taken top 10 in other years but he’s the best KPP available at that point and Essendon won’t draft three straight midfielders. Reid would be seen as a long term replacement for Hooker and Hurley who are cooked. It’s an obvious pick in my opinion.
Cox could be anything. Has the athletic traits like a Balta without the muscle and will probably end up a better player. I just can’t see teams in the top 10 spending a premium draft pick plus 3-5 years of development on a reduced list for little immediate return and no guarantees. It’s a huge risk in my opinion despite how well he projects as a player.

Why?
If a player agent comes to you and says 'Collingwood is offering X, can you offer X+1?' you respond with, 'Does your player actually want to go to Collingwood, regardless of the money offered? Can they trust Collingwood to pay them X, after what they did to Treloar? Why should we match Collingwood, if your player isn't actually considering them?'
If they want to play games and try to use Collingwood to bid their player up, why participate in that? You make your offer at where you are willing to pay, and if they try to 'but Collingwood' you, you simply laugh and inform them that their player is welcome to go to Collingwood and not get paid what is proposed.
Unfortunately they have Brand 195cm KPD and Eyre 197cm KPF as NGA’s likely going in the 30’s, so maybe Tanner Reid Perkins would be the best three apparently they are heavily into Ports Jones too...
Cox probably doesn’t get past Filth’s first pick they have no KPP’s at all they desperately need to at least start developing one...
Hard too project how much a player missing their entire draft year how far they would have come on, agree Perkins very natural, I’d say if the other two had the chance of playing and developing it may have made a huge difference

To be brutally honest, if any of our picks this year become best 22 we’ve defied the odds.

Ah, what happened to the thread?
Depends who we are looking at. If we take a mature age player ( expecting at least 1) then short term they could be part of our best 22

KPF depth chart: Charlie, McKay, Casboult, Kemp, TDK, McGovern, JSOS, Cripps, Weitering, Jones
KPD depth chart: Weitering, Jones, Casboult, Kemp, Marchbank, Plowman, McGovern, Silvagni
Ruck depth: TDK, Pittonet, Casboult, Jones, Cripps, Kemp, JSOS
I think we're ok to skip out on key position depth unless something really good comes up. I wanted to keep Macreadie on talent, but that list is more than survivable. Ruck depth is the most vulnerable, but we wouldn't be the only club with only 2 dedicated rucks.
Happy for us to swing at tall talent like has been suggested above. Would also like Eddie Ford with our first pick even though he's not strictly a small forward.
Sorry Jim, you can manufacture different types as a forward setup, but you can't manufacture KPD's with undersized players/lack of body strength/slow off the mark
We only have 3 KPD options on the list, Levi, Jones Weitering, 2 of which are 30+. Kemp at a pinch, given he has grown and has speed, but that would be a terrible waste of talent
Marchbank doesn't have the body strength, nor does Gov
Jack has strength, but lacks that yard off a lead and doesn't have a leap
Plow would also get manhandled by the bigger forwards
We need to address short and long term options quickly

I like that idea. Shorten the odds. Bring in a contributor. It’s all Moneyball after all. Unless we’re looking at wild upside, grab a guy who ‘gets on base’.
Last 10 Pick 38’s...
2019: Nick Bryan
2018: Irving Mosquito
2017: Jack Petruccelle
2016: Sean Darcy
2015: Harley Balic
2014: Jack Hiscox
2013: Dayle Garlett
2012: Jackson Ramsey
2011: Jordan Kelly
2010: Ryan Lester
Most of those weren't mature age, as well as players still on the board after that pick

You're not related to him are you?
He's just gone to his third club but I'm not sure that demonstrates his quality.
He was just let go by the Bombers who enter 2021 with who as their tall forwards?
The guy is 30 years old and has spent 11 years in the system for 87 games and 72 goals. He's a bog ordinary footballer at best who plays one good game every 20 odd and then disappears completely. Not for patches. Not just for games either. But for months.
Sorry but the guy is no good. And I'm not sure why you're bringing VFL players into the discussion but yeah I'd rather we look there for someone if need be. In fact I'd rather go with an empty list spot than bring in McKernan.
He offers nothing. Maybe you saw him in that one game though where he dominated and you're extrapolating from that?
