Opinion How many current players are actually worth a top 3 pick in a trade?

[jackag24]

Was a terrible take at the time and only looks worse now that Holmes has tore it up in a final.

You could just as easily go back to the original list by whoever posted it and probably find players on that list who stunk it up in finals too.

Are you still paying a top 3 pick for JUH?

Who played 4x worse than Calsher Dear taken at like pick 60?

Half of Richmond's list if it was up to Jon Ralph.

Picks are overrated. Unless it’s the stand out number 1 player like Reid or Walsh where you know you’re getting a jet, I think there’d be a large group of players “worth” a top 3 pick purely because you know what you’re getting from them

 

[voorhees]

-JHF
-S.Darcy
-N.Daicos
honorable mention...
Ashcroft,sheezel,Gulden

 

[Wild Bill]

There would be at least 50 players in the league i would give up FOS, Draper or Jagga.

West Coast - Reid, Allen
Fremantle - Serong, Brayshaw, Jackson, Young
Port - JHF, Butters, Rozee
Crows - Rankine, Thilthorpe,
Brisbane - Ashcroft, McCluggage, Raynor
Gold Coast - King, Anderson, Rowell, Walter, Andrews
Sydney - Warner, Heeney, Gulden, Blakey
GWS - Green, Callaghan, Cadman, Taylor
Geelong - Holmes, Stengle
Collingwood - Daicos
Hawks - Day, Newcombe, Weddle, Moore
Melbourne - Petracca
Saints - Wanganeew-Milera, Owens
North - Sheezel, Wardlaw, Larkey, McKercher, LDU
Richmond - Bolton
Essendon - Merrett, Durham
Dogs - Bontempelli, JUH, Darcy,
Carlton - Curnow, Walsh, Weitering

Anyone under 24 with multiple B.O.G performances in the midfield, a 35+ goal season as a forward or doing well holding down a key position in defence would be worth pick 3 easily.

 

[Vindicater]

If a team in the window ended up with a top three pick (from a previous trade we assume) then I could see them parting with it for Merrett.

Other than that scenario, nobody else at Essendon.

Lmk when any of them finish top 10 in the brownlow and I might reconsider

Nahhh that's silly, not a good metric at all. Rozee has never finish top 10 and Newcombe just did.

Rozee has finished top 15th? I think for the last couple of years and he's got some pretty strong competition in that team for votes

 

[Wild Bill]

Using the Brownlow as a guide to ranking players is scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and win an argument....

Yeah this.

At pick 3 I think it’s a 50% chance at 200 games and 1-2 AA selections.

So any player who can give you 5 seasons and 1-2 AA selections is worth that pick.

It’s far more players then teams would like to trade the pick for because they all want the upside Best Case outcome rather than the likely average outcome.

The only thing I question is their age. A 25 year old probably isn’t giving you 200 games unless they are a freak but if they deliver 2+ AA’s then you’re infront.

In my head I was thinking a 50% chance at 200 games was worth 100 games so I’d take 100 games and 1-2 AA nods as fair

Picks are way overrated on Bigfooty, media and pundits IMO.
Here is a list of players I'd currently rather have at the Dockers than a top 3 pick: Young, Jackson, Amiss, Treacy, Clark, Brayshaw, Serong (and probably Bolton) I would imagine every club would have a least 5. That's almost 100 players in the system that are worth a top 3 pick.

Here are some names from 2012-2022 drafted in the top 3: McCartin, Schache, Taranto, McGrath, Raynor, Dow, Lukosius, Phillips, O' Rourke, Plowman, Boyd, Billings. A top 3 pick definitely does not guarantee a star for the next 10 years.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Daicos
Gulden
Warner
Sam Taylor
Serong
B King
Anderson
Ashcroft
H Young
Butters
Rozee
Sheezel
H Reid

Off the top of my head.

 

[LOLchie Schultz]

Just a thought exercise based on the current available players.

There are obvious ones... Darcy, Sheezel, Daicos, Harley Reid, Curnow, Sam Taylor.

But how many more would you give up a top 3 pick for?

Pick 1 2023 for Nick Daicos?

Possible, but i wouldn't trade it for anyone else!

Pick 1 2024 for Nick Daicos, start the ****ing car. There would be at least dozen other players too!
