List Management - Trading and Delistings

[Norm De Guerre]

Still any hope for anderson?

Was there any talk of Jed Anderson on this board prior to Emma Quayle's glowing article in The Age approximately 3 weeks ago? If there was... I dont recall it.

Has anybody actually seen him play live, or is the enthusiasm being generated by a combination of phantoms, YouTube clips and a solitary newspaper article by a respected draft watcher. Always an uneasy mix.

I doubt this board has been hotter for any player since, and some incredibly fanciful trades are being bandied about. For a supposed top 15 draft prospect you would think he'd have been snapped up by now.

Do people think we will take Grundy if he is still there at 5 given we have such an abundance of rucks.

He sounds like he is a gun, but we are top heavy in that area already.

Yep, I would expect we would take him if we feel he's the best player available. I have a hard time believing gws wont take him though.

I think we should. When minson retires, We'll use him as our ruck.

Ladies and Mentlegen, I present you the history of Draft Pick no.6 of the AFL

Year | Player | Drafted Club | Career Games | Notes
\1986 |Richard Cousins |Bulldogs |60 |
\1987 |Andrew Rogers |Essendon |83 |
\1988 |Ray Sterrett |Geelong |20 |
\1989 |Mark Brayshaw |North Melbourne |32 |Being James' brother
\1990 |Allen Jakovich |Melbourne |54 | Injury (Hamstring)
\1991 |Paul Burton |Sydney |0 |
\1992 |Robert Pyman|North Melbourne|40 |
\1993 |Trent Cummings |Fitzroy |29 | Injury (Knee Reco)
\1994 |Robert McMahon |Fitzroy |2 |
\1995 |Daniel Healy |St. Kilda |38 |
\1996 |John Rombotis |Port Adelaide |48 |
\1997 |James Walker |Fremantle |151 | Pass
\1998 |Murray Vance |Carlton |5 | Injury
\1999 |Damian Cupido |Brisbane |53 |Lazy ass
\2000 |Dylan Smith |North Melbourne |21 | Injury (Collarbone)
\2001 |Ashley Sampi| West Coast |78 |Lazy ass
\2002 |Steven Salopek |Port Adelaide |121* | Recurring injuries
\2003 |Kepler Bradley |Essendon |112* |
\2004 |Tom Williams |Bulldogs |76* | Recurring injuries
\2005 |Beau Dowler |Hawthorn |16 | Injury
\2006 |Mitchell Thorp |Hawthorn |2 | Injury
\2007 |David Myers |Essendon |45* |
\2008 |Chris Yarran |Carlton |63* | Looking good
\2009 |Gary Rohan |Sydney |22* | Broken leg
\2010 |Reece Conca |Richmond |35* | Tracking along
\2011 |Chad Wingard |Port Adelaide |19* |Too early to tell but looking good.

Up until 2006, in 21 seasons the combined total games for these players is 1041 at an average of 49.5.
I didn't include the last 5 years but they seem to be bucking the trend a little.

What's going to happen if we take Stringer at 6?

 

[Clay]

Just goes to show how high risk even early draft picks are.

Blue chip midfielders with 5 and 6 for mine. I think it was fronkalicious that said it earlier - we can't have too many quality mids. Premiership teams have large, rotating midfields (ie Geelong). Playing a blue chip mid off half back or in the forward pocket is a luxury. That said, I'll be secretly excited if we pick up Stringer.

That is why I want to trade pick 6 for 12/14
Seems a cursed number

 

[cammo78]

I still shake my head whenever I see the #6 next to Tom Williams' name.

On another note - who the **** is James Walker?!

I'd like to consider myself across most thing AFL - but I've never heard of this bloke.

[murphy2bedabest]

no dont take the best pick in the draft

this draft is more a inside mids draft, next year is stocked with KPP and outside mids and guess what our coach love contested footy, all we need to do is is rate the draft picks from 1 whitfield to 6 and pick the 2 highest players and we will do find out of this draft

 

[Distinctive_]

The haunted pick six will continue if we take stringer :/

 

[Zeno The Great]

Gordon Coventry's great-grandson.

True, he is my cousin. He was a handy footballer for the dockers.

 

[Igloo]

Well I guess we'll just have to take Stringer with 5

 

[Warner_Bros_FC]

That's why we take him at 5.

Damn you Igloo! ...

 

[Dav1d]

Well I guess we'll just have to take Stringer with 5

I hope that means whomever we get at 6 plays 150 games for us
Dual Brownlow medalist will just be an extra bonus

can you do the same with pick 78 or 55 why not try 69 over the past 10 years drafting has got alot better

 

[doggies ftw]

Chad Wingard would go alright, kinda sucks how we got pick 17 last year when we coulda had 6.

explain??

 

[doggies ftw]

explain??

Just the whole GWS concessions thing, we would have had 6 or 7 I'm pretty sure. Could have netted us a gun like Wingard/Hoskin-Elliot, not complaining with Smith though we did well there.

Sorry Smurph, that was just a poorly disguised excuse for me to use the the table format. Plus that took way too longer than it should have.

good work btw looks good, im just over so many people talking about the whole pick 6, god im over the moon that our 2nd pick in the draft is before 14 other teams have their first.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I still don't know which way to go with Stringer. I mean if we don't get him for #5 or #6, and Geelong or Collinwood snap him up, I would be seriously pissed. If he went to PA or Melb I would just laugh.

 

[wian]

Just for once. For once. Can we not fu*k it up ! Hehe !

Can we please pick up.2 guns with 5&6 while the other clubs around us in the draft order get rotten luck !

 

[ManOfClay]

I still shake my head whenever I see the #6 next to Tom Williams' name.

he won a gf sprint a few years back

 

[adam10]

Don't get into this whole 'cursed' bullshit, tell you what I wouldn't mind Yarran, Rohan or Wingard at out football club right now.
