Well, if they did bid, they'd no longer have the number 1 pick anyway. Do clubs need the publicity? He should be number 2, at least.

First time theyve ever picked inside the top 5. Had the worst 3 years of any club.
They need to sell their members hope. They aren't going to bid on a player at one and show that they actually only got the second best player in the draft.

is it that important?
Everyone know that UH is the obvious pick and that WB will match.
So it is a free hit that forces a disadvantage (however minor) to you opposition. It would show their members that they actually know what they are doing. What happens if WB don't match?
If it was Carlton I would want them to use the #1 pick on UH just to make sure that WB have to cough up. #1 has so much pressure put on it.

Pity that Nik Cox is well gone before our pick. Looks like he could be anything. Father was an O.K. player as well so he knows what to expect and what is expected from him. If he's still there at say 12 or more would be happy to chuck in next years first to try and snaffle.

Its different in SA.
Two team town and never draft higher than 6th.
Unfortunately Carlton are all to familiar with the Number 1 pick and its would be seen differently by fans.

Why would they bid on him at 1? Would be pointless. All that does is rob them of the publicity of taking a pick 1, and rob whoever they ended up with the opportunity of going number 1. Absolutely zero reason for them to do it and plenty of reasons not too.
If Crows rate JUH as the best talent, then they should bid

Absolutely and IF bulldogs dont match then Adelaide end up with the best player.

There is 0 chance they're not matching a bid.

Not pointless at all, I'd be more inclined to let natural justice stand than play a fake game of 'feel good' footy. The world knows that U.H would be the number 1 pick in an open draft and it at least gives their selection a chance to develop without the added pressure.
Yep and have even done another pick swap today to get more points just in case.
I hope we are looking at a way to get GC pick 27 which they aren’t going to use as they are only using one pick at 5, although they will probably hold onto it till draft night to try and maximise what they will get.
Also hope we can try and get one of GWS picks maybe 13 or 15 especially if Reid is still on the board, Cox seems to be going the wrong way for us and I expect him to now go in the top 10.
I hope we throw in some bids on Rioli, Coleman and Gulden with our picks, if for no other reason than making other teams pay more, if they don’t match I’d be happy if we got Rioli, Coleman or Gulden at 31 or 38. We know SOS would I guess we will see how Austin rolls come draft day.

Yes but then you're also seen as taking the second best available talent and taking away the fanfare and benefits from the guy you eventually pick. 10k to the number 1 pick, plus media coverage, interviews, the flex of going number 1. I just can't see them doing it.
The Crows have absolutely nothing to gain by bidding on JUH , All their picks will still be inside the next Doggies pick
But having the #1 pick for their club after finishing bottom would be so much better for their members and supporters as well as the goodwill it shows to the kid that he was always their #1 choice.
I wouldnt bid

My thoughts exactly. I just see absolutely zero benefit of doing so, but plenty of reasons not too.
That depends on if they actually rate another kid at #1. If they don't then the kid and everyone else will know they were just blowing smoke and UH was always going to be the preferred option. False goodwill could do more harm than good as it look like the club will dowhat the crowd wants, not what is in the best interest of the club.

If the following could slip to our picks I’d be very happy
1st pick - ODriscoll
2nd pick - Ford
3rd pick - Bowey
I’d be very satisfied

Seems to have a lot to work with, however do you think this type of player would be a priority for our list..?
Sounds like a Tigers type player, we could use someone like that but is the price too high..?

I’d be happy if we were able to draft Winder and Baldwin (back our medical and S&C teams to get him right) and given we’ve got them training with us, MacDonald and Griffin.
Beyond that I’d like to see us sign a seasoned ruckman for our VFL side as back up for TDK and Pitto.
That would round off a very successful off season for mine.
