List Mgmt. Mid-Season Draft - Who do we take?

[jackster83]

Last year we would have definitely taken someone largely due to our enormous injury list.

 

[ams4crows]

Im thinking that young defender at Bendigo is it Kelly??

We will go the youth development route if we even make a pick....

 

[1990crow]

Hoping we pick someone to take the focus away from how bad we look.

 

[Elite Crow]

Agree - fitness would be a problem.

Although i'd happily pick up a star KPF if they could take a contested mark like nobody's business, and i'd tell them don't bother running, we'll bomb it to you in the square

Like we do to Murphy?

 

[Squiba]

If Andrews could genuinely play as an inside mid in time, he would definitely be worth a shot based on his pace alone.

 

[AFC3000]

Of course it's pointless. You watch, most clubs will be looking to exploit it and load up on longer term players (i.e. players that were overlooked last year due to injury form and who have improved this year - e.g. Jordon Butts of last year or players who have come out of nowhere to perform well this season and would be picked up in the draft later on in the year - e.g. Shane McAdam from last year).

It would be a LOT more beneficial to introduce the mid year trade and/or loan period where teams can trade for a player of need from another team's list or simply loan them from other teams until the end of the year. It would work for players and both teams. One team gets the player of need, the other team gets the other club to develop that player and get AFL games into them and get them back (if they want them) at the end of the year.

It makes a lot more sense than a mid-season draft where the player will not be getting games at the AFL club and state league teams receive significant blows along the way.

I don't like the loan idea, but I don't mind the mid season trade.

If the AFL want to make it a thing and get a heap of discussion going I'd do this...

Make this a bye round, any players who have played less than 5 games for the year are eligible for trade.

AFLX carnival for these players across the weekend, draft or trade event mid week.

Probably only really works when clubs can freely move players.

them trying to sell these guys potentially playing immediately and it being shut down by the list managers is amusing and sad at the same time. but it's a nice way to make 50-70 grand.

 

[pjcrows]

Kingy. "This is such a massive opportunity - these guys could go from suburban oval to the MCG within 5 days!"

Every recruiter asked if they'd be in the mix early - "Yeah, nah"

 

[Magma]

south ****ed hard again.

 

[CrowinNT]

Knoll selected ?

 

[Anzacpaul]

Dunkley family sponsored by Nike?

 

[MRB37]

Knoll selected ?

By the Swans surprisingly.

 

[SydCrow]

In the future every week will be trade week

 

[Bicks]

The Panthers lose out to the Swans again...first they pinch Hayden McLean in the pre-season draft now Knoll..Both Ruckmen, McLean a Ruck/Forward

 

[Magma]

and now glenelg. and clubs still have no idea how they will be compensated. what a mess.

 

[MRB37]

There goes Glenelg on top of the ladder.

 

[Magma]

lol **** me

 

[Bicks]

Snaffle being decimated

 

[eddiespocket]

Souths finals hopes out the window

 

[Magma]

at least our season was already over, but **** me it hurts to see him leave again so quickly after just getting back. i'd be amazed if anyone drafted plays a game.

 

[Anzacpaul]

5AA will be good tomorrow. Rowe's head is going to explode

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Hard to believe our recruiters saw more in Strachan as compared to Knoll (even on raw movement, physique...I know this has been a breakout season for him)

 

[Tyls83]

Glenelg finally gets its shit together and now this, South utterly shafted yet again. #shambles

 

[AusTerran]

Passed
surprised

 

[crows dude]

Passed. Surprise surprise
