Rumour Draft Rumours 2024

[KrispyKreme]

The rumours part Cal Twomey mentioned on Gettable.

Did he mention both on there?

McLean - average
Mcinerney - average, overrated
Rowbottom - tick heart and soul player, too 25 pick though
Chad - tick a grader
McDonald - tick jury is out but it was the correct selection, hard to miss with pick 5
Matt Roberts - tick

What you haven’t included is the rest of the draftees over the last few seasons who haven’t looked anything like AFL players and have been delisted after 2 years

Not to mention his failures from the rookie list

Most Swans supporters wouldn’t agree with your assessment

So excluding the gun academy kids taken in your time. 25% of your runner up side was drafted by him.

He took over the recruiting in 2018 after arguably the greatest run in your history the previous 15 years and the back half of that run was a flag in 2012, runners up in 2016 and top of the H&A season in 2017.

But he was a poor recruiter for you.

And your reasoning is that your last 2 years of draftees are terrible. Even though they started to get games late and Konstanty was binned and not given an opportunity for his mad Monday antics.

Oh and the small fact you were top all year and finished runner up.

I’ll go with somewhere in the middle - which means he was decent.

Did he mention both on there?

He was just saying or implying his usual phantom draft is harder than normal as clubs are giving less away, mainly due to picks 5 to 11 being held by only 3 clubs.

Jeez I can’t keep up.
I know live trading can happen on draft night, but if these confusing “mega deals” happen, it would be likely they are all linked and need to happen concurrently, not independent of each other on the night.

So is there a deadline date for pick trading (noting it would reopen on draft night) or can 5 club deals happen right up to 6.00 on draft night?

I can then come back once the deadline passes so I can get my head around who has what picks and who I'm shitty at missing.

 

[GWS Goose]

Are there any rumours besides North potentially trading back from pick 2?

It does seem like teams are running a tighter ship in terms of rumours in recent years. Even knowing which clubs interviewed state combine draftees seems less common.

I heard an unnamed club insider report that they have interest in a once in a generation talent that is a combination of Chris Judd and Both Gary Abletts. They expect him to be available at their pick in the late teens

Taj Hotton?

Taj Hotton?

I was just having a joke.
Taj has been linked to us. I'd be very happy to take him and if he ends up a star even better

Fair enough mate.

Again this just goes back to…

Big club doesn’t offer p6. But 2 mid teens picks and you think it’s a good deal because North get 2 picks they know about.

But 7+F1 is a bad deal from the small club because it’s irrelevant they get the player they want at 7. They might not get a pick back this year or they might have to do their own bidding to land one.

Christ it’s such a stupid argument

If North trade pick 2 and want Tauru.

They trade with us for as long as p6 is off the table.

If they want mid teens picks ala west coasts deal. They trade with you.

Won’t worry stavro#4 , you’ll only have to state the above about 36 more times. Stay strong.
