List Mgmt. Part 3- And on it goes: The trade and draft megathread

[Obeanie1]

Had one to many drinks with my mate working at WC last night, again am only passing on what I heard, take it as a grain of salt. He says there are 3 players that WC rate that have a small chance of being avaliable at thier picks. If they don't slide or an Elite talent doesn't slide they will go more mature age. They believe they have enough youth and want some bigger bodies that can come in and play thier role. They rate Cameron very highly so doubts Hill will get picked if avaliable.

That sounds like Pickett.

Or Bolton?

Can see us going youth with 20 and mature with 22 then Cameron.

So a O'Hallaren / Valente / Jones / Taylor with 20 and then a Pickett / Bolton.


That pick swap with Gold Coast certainly added three more early draft kids we normally wouldn't have picked up.

Landing Pickett would almost guarantee Kelly next season.

Watching Hills' 2017 and 2018 vision he just looks so small out there and thats against kids not men.

Hope Freo pick him at 15.

Is this our tent moment? Put out a few rumours that it's really bad and suddenly we get him with the last pick in the draft

Could be another tent moment but the moon boot looks real . Did notice he has big hands for a small forward , good sign .

Yea I'm thinking the same. Just saw 5 clubs have spoken to Bolton. I wonder if we were one.

That's what I thought. Looks so tiny. Would be years away from playing. At pick 40plus I could understand. But not that high.

"Hill to replace Marsden..."

"Durrsma to replace Marsden"

"Redraft Parto to replace Marsden on a wing..."

"Minson in to replace Marsden..."


Well what's this then ****?

Marsden to replace Marsden

Same height as our current Riolli !

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

And the other difference was disposal. It was his role to flour bag every helicopter cop or handball to players feet.

Nah thats bullshit priddis cleaned up his disposal to an acceptable level

 

[WCErevival]

Rioli is about 80 kegs though and is reasonably stocky. Hill looks like he may never put on enough weight to be effective

Just eat whatever type of chocolate Riolli has been taking or the fish and chip McGovern was using for dinning.

It's the year 2050.
The grandkids roll their eyes as Grandpa embarks on another spittle flecked rant about how Matt Priddis single-handedly prevented the Eagles from winning a premiership for 11 whole years.

Priddis was a double edged sword;lets just leave it at that!

If Hill is genuinely 76kg that is pretty damn close to the ideal playing weight for a 175cm player (Dayne Zorko is listed at 175cm and 76kg and he looks like a stocky little campaigner). It also makes him heavier than a number of taller draftees that are pretty highly rated like Butters (70kg), Rozee (71kg) and even Walsh (74kg). Hill's weight is the new McGovern's height.

Alot can happen in a year.

Or a few weeks. Just ask Gaff.

I think 76 is a typo. WAFL listed him last year at 66. He weighed 64 at the combine according to the AFL site.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Liam Ryan is listed as 72kg and he doesn't seem to struggle with the contest

His disposal is elite - silky kicking.

If they're looking for elite talent that slides it kind of makes me think they're more on the lookout for a RCD/Stocker/Butters as by all reports it seems it's generally expected O'Halloran/Valente should be available at 20.

Be pretty stoked with either/both of those two and/or one of the mature agers you mentioned to be honest, not quite as high on Jones and Taylor.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Yeah he certainly doesn't look 76kg. If nothing more this discussion has given me an excuse to look at Ryan nailing campaigners again and for that I will be forever grateful.

 

[WCErevival]

Surprised no AFL team is interested in Parto. Article the other day said only SAFL teams interested in him.

Reckon Geelong might be eyeing off either Adelaide’s or Brisbane’s pick before ours to nab Pickett if we’re potentially looking at him that early. Would be the first step in them trying to keep Kelly.

Was expecting something like this to come out ..Stops the noise getting too loud ..

Basing your drafting and list strategy around going early on a 26 yr old simply to try and retain another player sounds like crazy talk to me.
