İf and a big İF at that , we were to grab pick two in the draft, what way would anyone lean?
Cadman - easily best frwd in the draft and has high work rate and will set us up for years to come with him and Mitch as genuine frwd KPF threats!!!
Wardlaw - inside alpha mid we NEED !
Tsatas - inside/outside speedy mid with talent to burn!

İt's so hard to pick that I don't want pick 2! LoL.

I struggle to split Cadman and Wardlaw. Tsatas for me doesn't have massive hurt factor and I could see him sliding behind Sheezle and Mackenzie.

1. Cadman - Everything you want in a KP prospect.
2. Wardlaw - Best player in the pool, hamstring the only concern
3. Sheezle - Highest potential? de goey/stringer like with the doucheness
4. Mackenzie - Elite skills and just a smart footballer
5. Tsatas - Workhorse with speed and versatility


All I can say is please Gold Coast pick Buttslinger

 

[Bugs1977]

Love the picks hope that works. funnily enough i would pick sheezel hotton and konstanty

Sheezel for me too

? Gold Coast are giving up their pick 7 in a salary dump and it is behind our pick 6. Did you mean to write GWS Pick the Buttslinger?

Gold Coast will get Adelaide's pick for Rankine.

 

[Alite]

Missed that... Well said.
GC does not need another midfielder (they are selling one) and so you may get your wish.

In: Bowes, 2, 16, 26

Pies

Out: 16

Eagles
Out: 2, 26
In: 6, 7

Prefer - 6, 7, 16 and 24 (+ Bowes).

That's a better haul than - 2, 16 and 26 (+ Bowes).

Not that it means too much, but the draft pick calculator has the points differential equating to pick 20.

Is it time the Hawks started looking at the USA to bring in supreme athletes with college football background?

No AFL club has invested time in the USA.

When someone does and strikes gold they will all wake up !.

Watching the contracts of 800k, 900k a year for players that haven't set the world on fire just seems fraught with danger.

I think clubs have become desperate.

The game has changed and the main craft you need is getting across the ground for 4 qtrs.

Is it time we start looking at our OWN academy in USA and set up scouts ?

Where do I sign up to help with this???
Going into the wayback machine, Kirk Gibson was one of the most gifted athletes I ever saw. All American in gridiron, sub 4.4 forty yard time, didn't play baseball until his third year at Michigan State, yet made his living in the MLB. Unbelievably fierce competitor who I believe would have relished everything about the AFL. Surely that type exists at the university level today somewhere. Some very gifted basketball players as well with far fewer openings at the professional level.

The best rugby league athletes have all failed to translate their talent to AFL. They all went, with their tail between their legs, back to their code.


Some of the best Gaelic footballers have made it in the AFL but most do not.
Translation of cross code to AFL has been difficult or impossible for most.

But I am with you. There are literally hundreds of thousands of USA athletes that do not quite make the cut in their USA based sport. The size of that pool should be tapped. There are 320 million USA citizens … and only 25 mill off us. Surely there is an amazing athlete perfect for our game in the USA who can adapt to our game.

I love a Cat B rookie

 

[MasterSamurai]

Hmm, injuries permitting I feel 4 doesn't go into 1!
Frost
Dgb
Blanck
Jeka
So much so that we 'may' be 'ok' to lose one!
I'll duck out before shots fired.

 

[mustang]

Methinks some teams are going to look really silly he got too pick 6 of a mid season draft!

Have you seen him play will he rival Newcombe as the GOAT mid season drafted player.

 

[The hands of stone]

I know its a hypothetical thread but I wouldnt be throwing the Bowes/7 pick into the haul .

Would be a pretty huge shift for him to come to us ( not saying it wont/cant ), we are a few back in the line

It’s true. Unlikely at this stage, but who knows what happens in the next week.

 

[Dewnior]

Eagles have 2 and 26 mate.

LindaCRS, seems to have a finger on the pulse, has gently raised again tonight DGB West.

Add pick 6 heading out.

Personally, I hope there's merit to it all.

So DGB + pick 6 for pick 2 and 26?

No thanks

 

[DeafHawk]

If we get Bowes & 7
Pick 7 & DGB for pick 2 take it or leave it..
2 / 6 / 16? (Mitchell) / 24
Why Cadman??
Our priority is elite midfielders...
We got Kosi,Ramden, then get Lawrence, & later F/S McCabe & Dear

McCabe and Dear are not draft eligible.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

AFL free agency period opens at 9am

 

[Blackhawk42]

No thanks

Yeah, I hate that.

I don't care what anybody says, DGB and pick 6 (so two pick 6's) is smarter list management than one pick 2.

It doesn't matter how good that pick 2 is projected to be.

 

[DeafHawk]

McCabe and Dear are not draft eligible.

Later means 2024

How do we get pick 16 and keep pick 24?

 

[HawksILove]

I come here again and there is abit of hope and light again.

 

[TylerDurden]

How do we get pick 16 and keep pick 24?

We won't.

 

[A Diakos]

losing gUNSTON for no return especially considering the experience already retired /delisted was bad management

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Yeah I think I must have misread the post I quoted

 

[perrdan86]

He's a free agent.. also, Sam doesn't head the list management up. Pretty sure he and the club wanted to keep him.
