drafting and trading 2012

[Brassy88]

With Callinan and Crouch being upgraded to the main list and White as it looks coming to us, that means we only will have to picks in the draft. So who do we think we are going to target?
Picks 20 and 23 with the compensations being put in from free agency? Also who we we get in the rookie draft?

Any chance of sending pick 23 to the Cats for George Horlin-Smith?

I'd like to think so! Geelong are in a position now where they are going to lose some players. I hope we are aggressively going after a few.

West, Simpson are going to be up for more competition with McIntosh joining.
Gillies is probably a bit short for KPD at 192, but I'd give him a look.
And of course GHS.

I read on AFL site that Orren Stephensen will likely lose his spot at Geelong now they have McIntosh. Would we look at drafting him maybe in the rookie draft as the back-up ruck we are after? Or have we decided on Currie?

I wouldn't mind Stephenson, but would prefer Simpson, simply due to age. Obviously would cost us more.

I think Currie will be the main target but I am a little nervous about someone snagging him before us.

SEN said this morning that we are likely to do a deal today for Angus Graham, the hits keep on coming! And if that's the case why are we getting White?

 

[Team DJ]

Noble Harper and Trigg need to take a long hard look at themselves

 

[The_Answer3]

Bit of common sense lads. If we take Graham AND White we can't have the mandatory 3 picks in the ND

What the **** is going on?

Is this tanking?

We didn't re-sign Symes though so we can't be tanking.

Unless of course we thought that would be too obvious.

RICHMOND looks to have secured a trade for Angus Graham with the 25-year-old today holding talks with Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson with a view to signing on with the Crows.
A deal should be finalised by the weekend with the Crows taking Graham and the Tigers' third round draft pick (No. 50) in return for their second-round pick (No. 40). Adelaide has also indicated it will hand the Tigers the compensation selection it will receive for Chris Knights.
Graham's departure is expected to see Richmond on the lookout for another more mature ruckman to support Ivan Maric with Tyrone Vickery's return next season also bolstering the club's ruck stocks.
Richmond will now go into the National Draft with selections 9, 29, 31 and 40 and has also secured restricted free agent Troy Chaplin from Port along with Knights from the Crows.
The Crows have come under fire from their fans who have bombarded social media over the prospect of trading the out-of-contract Kurt Tippett to the Swans in exchange for Jesse White and Sydney's first-round pick (No. 22). That deal has not yet been finalised.

he was likely ot be delisted.

Why oh why is this happening?

 

[W. Smithers]

I think he was still under contract for another year.

 

[crowsarethebest]

LOL. Looks like we are taking anything that is big and moves. Graham is one of the softest big men I've seen play. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Just doesn't have any heart- you just can't fix that shit.

 

[Vader]

You do realise that Stephenson turns 30 in January? Could be a reasonable backup to Jacobs, but the reality is that he's only a short-term option.

 

[PyroCrow]

Somebody hold me...

 

[jackster83]

If we're taking Graham, then surely we wouldn't take White as well.

Someone's bullshitting here.

Surely we cant' give them the compensation pick as well. That would mean Knights and a swap of picsk in their favour for Grahaam. FFS you must be joking.

Mckernan must be on the way out. Maybe we are going to do a deal with Carlton for Pick 11 (as was rumoured during the week).

Tigers supporters must love us.

Unfortunately he actually wasn't.

 

[Schulzycrow]

This is the new hard edged going out and getting players from other clubs mentality....hmmmm getting spuds mentality. Just hope it is crap designed to send Crows fans over the edge. FFS Graham??? Seriously for the knights compo pick??? Are we on drugs??

 

[Mad Fan of AFL]

What are the chances of addressing needs such as a KPD, ruck and outside midfielders in the national draft? I havent heard anything except adressing ruck needs in this trade period eg. White/Graham

If we get White and Graham while keeping Mckernan then I think that White will be developed primarily as a KPD. As far as outside mids go I hope we a still a chance to get GHS (though he is more inside/outside rather than strictly outside).
