Saints would probably take him if he's there, they just lost Battle.if Tauru fell to Saints then id love to try trade up to grab him.
Good clarification on the points value.Just as a bit of trivia, our pick #30 currently is valued at 629 points. Next year it's 454 points, equal to pick #38/#39-ish.
So trading it to a club like Brisbane this year makes it worth pick #23/#24-ish to them in points saved next year.
Similarly, but in reverse, the two future 3rd round picks we hold #37 (Richmond) and #45 (Fremantle) are worth 297 and 150 points respectively - making them the same as pick #49 and #60 this year.
Anyone done the maths as to where pick 67 will actually end up after bids etc. I can't be bothered as tbh I think they'll be a few live trades across both nights that'd make my calculation irrelevant anyway.Good clarification on the points value.
Not all clubs are looking for points. Richmond did a lot of draft night trading last year and accumulated a bunch of third and fourth round picks. Whilst less valuable next year they traded a heap of them for GCS pick 20. It could otherwise just be to improve next years draft hand. I doubt we’ll see too many fourth round picks used to upgrade but 3rd round picks still hold some value for a small upgrade.
Personally I can’t see us getting higher in the second round. The depth and value around 25-35 is good. I pointed out that there might be some chance we could trade with WB. There is some chance we could trade with Essendon if Kako bid drops a little. They wouldn’t lose too many points dropping to our pick 32/33 and get a bonus F3 for their trouble.
Otherwise I feel it is more likely we trade up in the third round to grab someone we like who is still available at say pick 48 for example.
I had a half hearted crack and it didn’t fall as much as expected. I thought it would drop before draft night, but due to list spots and club draft picks it hasn’t. Although a small number of clubs may use a pick before 67 to upgrade a rookie or pass.Anyone done the maths as to where pick 67 will actually end up after bids etc. I can't be bothered as tbh I think they'll be a few live trades across both nights that'd make my calculation irrelevant anyway.
Do think that pick is well into the 50s though. Possibly even the low 50s.
The name most often mentioned is Joe Berry - small forwardCan all the more in tune draft heads tell me who we're likely selecting?
Interesting, heard some good stuff about him, heard he might go a little earlier than our pick though? Maybe I'm wrong.The name most often mentioned is Joe Berry - small forward
What time do we start melting?It's like clockwork
What time do we start melting?
I'm getting no melting vibes from this draft where we play it safe and don't trade.What time do we start melting?
well that earlier post by someone (thanking you) showing how our history of trading up has cost a lot (except when teams were collecting later picks for bids) but hardly unearthed any diamonds, when compared to Wallsy's usually very successful later picks. When you look at the history, it doesn't really make a lot of sense for us. As a poor example, we could potentially get a Valente but lose a Cox? Prefer to let Walls do what he does best.I'm getting no melting vibes from this draft where we play it safe and don't trade.
Hotton would be a very gutsy pick.Seems like we can rule out Lindsay and its really between Hotton and Berry for us
yes but going on an interview i read , he is one with the right attitude to succeed, its why im hoping we get himHotton would be a very gutsy pick
Which would be great. But I don't mind a bit of left field. If we don't see Berry as significantly better than small forwards likely to be available at our second I won't mind if we add Hynes with our first and Alger/Dattoli/Hannaford/Clarke/Davis with our second I'm fine with that. An aggressive, big bodied forward/midfielder would be nice in the arsenal.Seems like we can rule out Lindsay and its really between Hotton and Berry for us
