Can we get to the dang draft already?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

That's not terrible for the Saints. Just depends on whether they see the gap between 2 and 7 being bigger than the gap between 8 and 16.

Sorry, yes I should have expanded. IMO. But if I am the list manager - and I am like all on this thread - I’m banking on 7 being closer in capability than 8 to 16. Unusual draft because you’d usually do that all day long.

There is no way Carlton do not draft FOS at Pick 3 if he is available.

100% lock

Id personally rather Jagga but I agree they’ve probably fallen in love with him

You do understand that pick swaps can happen at any stage during Draft night not just in pick order!

As long as its understood that a club would prefer to receive 19, rather than 20 in a trade

won’t be available? Referring to fos or Jagga

Im surprised no one has mentioned that North should trade down to pick 1 so they can pick Tauru up at this stage

drapers back issues concern me

Same. Might aswell pass on him I think. Crows have good chiros so I'd say he'd prefer to stay in Adelaide

That would achieve exactly what North seem to be trying to do, if they were sure they would get Tauru at 7.

Their objective seems to be:

Get Tauru and another top 20 pick.

Getting 7 and 18 for 2 potentially achieves both of those objectives.

And if doing those deals means Richmond get 2, without having lost 6, they achieve what they seem to want to do.

While we presumably get the guy we would have taken at 7, at 8, then we have another crack just 3 picks later, then a bonus pick at 20.

Looks like an excellent result all-round to me.

The only potential issue (if North are sure Richmond won’t take Tauru at 6), is the potential of Melbourne spoiling the party at 5.

Otherwise, that seems like a deal that has a lot to like from all parties.

You only see this as a “potential issue?”…….. how much risk do you want to North to take on just so you get your trade?. Oh yeah, let’s not forget, we get pick 18 for the privilege of all that risk. Madness by our club. Hope we say, “yeah nah”.

 

[LB2Snake]

North dont give a shit if its good for the saints its what north wants that matters .Pretty simple actually north get the deal they want that,s all that they care about

Can you show me the “deal they want” …ie North ?

 

[LB2Snake]

That would be the most ridiculous robbery by gws ever.

Posters need to stop inventing scenarios re p2. It won't be traded because the prices on offer don't work.

But pick 2 is the same as pick 6 or 7 or 8.

North should just shut up and take what’s offered. FFS. Just hold it then.
Risk not getting who we want at 7 for the chance to have a pick at 18. Diabolical.

 

[Juice030103]

Just wondering, cause a lot of the blues board are mixed about Draper. What does everyone else think of him? Would north consider him at 2? Is he worth a top 5 pick?

 

[sr36]

North should just take Tarau. I think he's the most likely to become elite by position and it's just about the most important position on the park.

No way!!!! Pick one is valued at infinity! Not tradable. Pick 2 is where the rubbish starts. This thread is great.

Pick 2 isn't rubbish, it's just when you have pick 1 already and pick 6 then pick 2 is an overreach IMO especially if it costs us pick 6. Rather another club makes a play for it TBH.

“So I get my trade”.

Hilarious.

It seems incredibly likely that North’s objective is to get Tauru AND another pick in the top 20, and there are only so many ways that this might happen.

I do love how some of you are desperately pretending that this isn’t what North is trying to do though, and that it’s only clubs trying to trade up to 2, and not North actively trying to trade down.

You must think we all came down in the last shower.

Pick 1 is a lot more valuable than #2 due to things unrelated to the player it'll get.

It's a PR/ego thing as much as anything. It makes fans/sponsors happy.

It's why pick 1 wont be used to bid on Ashcroft, but pick 2 probably will. The team with pick 1 (in this case Richmond) wants to be able to claim they got the best player in the draft and spruik it as such to players/fans/sponsors.

And before people start, yes, #1 can be (and has been) used to bid, but only when the player being bid on is the standout best. If it's a close call, they wont.

Player picked as 1 also gets a cash bonus from the AFL

Need more of him in this thread through. He’s not derailing this one enough.
