Even if you expect a bid to be matched it is still worth doing it for a few different reasons

1 you like the player
2 make teams actually pay for players.

E.g If Richmond don't bid at 1 on Ashcroft i call utter bullshit

I really doubt they call him number1. 2,3,4 … is where I think it will land. Is he the best player in the draft? Probably although I don't think its as clear as it was with Reid.

Future second won’t get you a 30-35 pick unless you traded it with pick 45.

If thats the cost … to move up for the player we want …maybe we do it. They probably feel like the Fr2 gets used for our academy player anyway…. so its a possible way to just move that pick up.

As I dont think there is much between the players in that range …it would have to be player specific .. someone we really want or rate

Gerryn Or Stumpf with our first pick is what I hope we hit.

Gerryn Looks like his skills will translate to AFL. Mobile, skillful and has a big presence not afraid to hit packs hard. Doubt he makes it to our first but would try move up a bit to snag him.

Stumpf has mercurial attributes that just feels like he could be that guy picked late that everyone wonders how that happened. Smashed the combine and beats players 1-1.

Clarke, jaques all look pedestrian to me and wouldn’t look at. Dodson also would be a complete waste.

I’d be trading up for Gerreyn and would be happy to take either Stumpf or Nicholls with a later pick. Have one monster key forward and another more mobile, Cameron-like type.

I’ve cooled a bit on Jaques but still like Clarke. He has a lot of development in him. Has had to overcome long travel arrangements to get to where he is which says a bit about him too I think.

Like the look of a couple of WA guys late too. Hayes in particular has some nice attributes.

Have you seen much of Stumpf? I think he sounds an interesting prospect but have not seen much more than a glimpse of him playing forward.

No. He’s one if I’m taking him it’s on what I’ve read and his testing. Never seen him live.

Have seen Nicholls though and he looks ok as a key forward type with a late pick.
