and yet i'd still do it, push kennedy to HF

IAS - putting aside my own personal emo thoughts - the cost in terms of both salary and trade would be such that we could upgrade more efficiently and effectively elsewhere.

I love him but those early injuries have robbed him of being that can't miss talent that he looked yet I feel the cost would be such that that's what you'd be paying for on the market.
 
Tend to agree. Might be childhood wishful thinking.

Odds on favorite to be the next Goddard though from a forum perspective.


Re-signing or Saints most likely scenarios to play out there.

Personally think the AFL will do a Coniglio with a few of those boys.
And I hope it plays out like it did for gws if they do.

For the sake of discussion ;) as this looks like a very unlikely get to me, but seems like everyone is assuming that Rowell would be the one we were after .... I reckon Anderson would be a better fit for our midfield.
 
Anderson is probably the one I'd be after, though Rowell would absolutely be in our top 3 mids, he's just more 1 dimensional. Surprising given his size he's basically solely a contested ball player. Needs to work out the balance but his contest work is elite.

Anderson though had a breakout year last yr as a real matchwinner. Not just the one after the siren but a few times he kicked clutch goals late in games. He was compared to Dustin Martin in his draft year, and while the play style doesn't exactly line up, his ability to bob up in clutch moments started to shine last season and if it goes another step I can see the comparison.
 
Don’t understand the interest in Rowell.

Maybe before we added Hewett and Cerra and Kennedy good…

But why would we entertain having to trade a massive capital and offer a high salary to a player in a position we’re already stacked in?

He had a hot start, but it was 16 minute quarters, higher rotations, no stand rule, playing at home with everyone else in hubs and GCS started well. I know he’s had injuries, but he’s had nothing close to the impact since then.

Not fast. Solid build but definitely not big at 180. Doesn’t actually rack up huge numbers. Zero outside game, can only play inside.

I think it’s more the fact that he was the clearest pick 1 we’ve had in a while and then he got 9 votes in those compromised games.

At this stage the myth of Rowell is much more impressive than the reality.

I don’t get the appeal for us at all.

Concur, Rowell is too like what we have. Whereas Noah a pacey, goal kicking, 90% game time running machine with good skills is who I'd be after.
 
So if the best prospect with every pick we have for the next 5 years is a tall, we only take talls? Found this logic hard to understand

If the difference between talent is minor negligible you factor in need. If there's a significant difference in talent you draft BPA.

Generally 3-4 players rated around the mark/range of each pick, different types, characteristics.

But, you don't reach back a number of ranges for needs

Yes and no. You have 5 key talented forwards on your list and 2-3 of them are not getting a senior game so ask to be traded and because they're an unknown AFL quantity you get less in return for a trade. Once you fill your quotient in a position and have some depth you definitely would go looking for the best for need as they'd be in the 22 day dot.

I think that is kind of a cop out to fit your initial statement. There is rarely a clear step between each individual draft picks. Sounds like what you are saying is a number of factors need to be considered when selecting draftees or draft for list balance unless in the unlikely case there is someone like Kemp who is too good to pass up on.

My statements have never changed

At each range there are a number of options, so you may have a choice of 3-4 different types of players

If you need a ruckman, and in the range of players at your pick, there isn't one, you don't reach for needs

And draftees are a medium to long-term strategy, where trading is improving a need immediately
