Lachie McKirdy on our upcoming draft

“The Swans don’t have a great history in the first round of the draft outside matching bids. With picks 19 and 22, they must nail the brief come November after being quiet in the trade period.”

Wouldn't surprise me if we trade them for F1 picks next season. We are dickheads on draft night

 

[caesar88]

I don't hate that our poor first round draft record is finally getting some heat.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I don't hate that our poor first round draft record is finally getting some heat.

Rightfully so

 

[Cadsky]

Rightfully so

I'm glad the club is finally getting some media pressure on the right areas. Maybe things will start to change.

 

[Jeffers]

About bloody time. Beatson/Keane need the blowtorch.

Keane lol

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Poor Keane how long has even been there!

 

[Superstar swan]

It’s not the clubs fault these first rounders don’t work out. Just unlucky really

Posted in the draft thread but seemed a bit relevant here considering the above:

Just looking at our first rounders for the last twenty years (drafts where we had a pick only). I guess we'd have to agree onwhat we consider a hit or miss. Is it picking a good player or is them staying at your club the measure of success? I'm not including Academy picks for better or worse in this.

If you look through the rankings on Draftguru, there are very few of our first round picks that are judged to have been much poorer than those around them. Another thing to consider is that most of our live first rounders have been at the tail end of the first round. Five of them in the last twenty years were outside what would be the first round in a pure draft. Of our live picks inside the top ten, we've had a bad miss (Stephens), a 200 gamer, and McDonald, who looks to be on track for 150 games or more.

I guess my question is, what does a good record with these picks over this period look like? Would definitely have been great to have nailed 2019, but who's doing a great deal better when they're starting their draft in the late teens / early 20s?

The Trade Period is over but Sliding Doors is still in top form ... and Damo's got plenty to say

Thought the same re Tom Lynch. Miles better than our talls, even if he plays below his best.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Thought the same re Tom Lynch. Miles better than our talls, even if he plays below his best.

Of course he was wayy better than our talls but then you weigh up what it would cost for him to move to Sydney and no he wont uproot his life for a 1yr deal on peanuts/list spots are also at a absolute premium.

If we got close yep it would make sense but Lynch would of contributed absolute zilch in the GF.
