Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[efcboy]

then they choose to not match, and we're left with an unwanted key forward after picking up Weideman/Curnow, when we could've picked a slider e.g. Tucker

Silvagni is a very talented footballer. Carlton have traded backwards to take him - their picks are in the 60s. If we bid with 24 they will match and possibly go into deficit for next years draft.

If they didn't it would be quite humorous to see young Silvagni running around in the red and black. It won't happen though as Carlton will match as they've traded their picks to do this.

What are power rankings? Scope of potential or likelihood of being AFL quality?

Latter.

Hopefully not Roby's power rankings.

Did very well, exactly what we needed. Glass-McCasker is a bolter, but I like it.

For the guys following the draft closely what's the chances of Parish & Francis being available at 4&5? could of Melbourne upgraded pick 3 with the thought process that we would have been taking a KPF with 4/5?

From what I've read/seen, it seems that after Parish&Francis the rest of the potential top 10 picks could be anything or nothing. It seems apparent that it will be a hit and miss top10.

If we draft Glass-McCasker i will never ever say his name out loud.

Pains me to even type it.

Parish is a bit overrated tbh. Thankfully Melbourne are likely to take him.

You really should be putting IMO and not tbh. Unless of course you have become the nations leading judge of footy talent .

Fair point. I just get annoyed that everyone thinks he must be picked at 4/5.

Well he has been rated pretty highly by a fair amount of recruiters and draft 'experts' so you can't blame the common folk for towing the line and agreeing with them.

And not just for one season - he's been rated highly for years now

Olivers highlights clip pulled from yourtube!

either disco his getting hidey .... or Axel rose having another hissy fit about copyright law.

I really don't understand why the draft is so long after the trade period is finished. There's nothing but speculation for over a month about it.

Read your post.

You'll get the answer

Let's hope he does a "Jasper McMillan-Pittard" and just makes it Glass.

Axel rose having another hissy fit about copyright law.

I doubt it, even Axel will realise how much Oliver is helping his music career. Pity he couldn't do the same re: Slash.

I should say it annoys me then. Make it 2 weeks after.

I've got it.
If he comes to Essendon, he is "Jesse G-Mac".
I'm not putting up with that name, purely because his Mum wears the pants in her relationship and wouldn't take a new last name.

Gee, can you imagine the draft blunders?

Between this type of comment and the "trade week should be done over one day", why don't we just run both the day after the Granny and be done with it?

 

[MarkG]

There will be plenty of blunders even with the longer break between drafts. First impressions of players may be best. The more you think about it the more complicated it becomes.

Most of the assessments would have been done by now. They'll know who's likely to fall in which area. There would be absolutely no difference.

So, lets say you have exams.
Would you prefer more time to prepare for them, or less?

There is SO much involved in recruiting players.

So you think that if you have more preparation time, you're no likely to do any better?
Are these people serious?

Yeah some posters even start talking genetics!

Honestly, less. I exam really well and the less time (within reason) I have to prepare, the more pressure I'm under and the more efficient I work.

They've known all about these players for a very long time, there is a lot but it's their job to know about these kids. An extra 3 weeks won't change that.

Sounds like a type of injury sustained from sitting on a pint glass ...
