I can see Curtin sliding as far as GWS Pick 7 in this draft, purely based on the needs of Haw (plenty of his type already), WB (also well equipped for his type) and Melb (would do backflips if they get Caddy).

Live trade for GWS Pick 7 / 16 for WCE F1?

We really should not be giving up a probable top 2 pick for a guy like Curtin.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I’m coming round to the swing for the fences and going collard with our second pick over going safe and having a more “sure thing” with a lower ceiling.

Agreed. He could be awesome but at the moment know one knows what his position is at afl level. That’s a massive risk.

And 23 for their F1

Makes it our F1 and 23 for 7,16 and their F1

I don't think it will be a bottom two pick next season.

I reckon we're good for a rebound to the 11-14 range.

So Norf supposedly want Curtin but they want others as well. They may well just go McKercher and Duursma at 2 and 3

Hawks at 4 are getting McCabe so a pass there

Dogs at 5 do not need talls so a pass there

Dees are a possibility to take Curtin if he is there. Lamb and Taylor may prefer a proven mid in Sanders. They might also just prefer to take O'Sullivan at 6 and Murphy at 11 or Curtin and Murphy as a match up would work if they see Curtin as a CHB.

Geelong at 8 - Oh no. I might do the deal with the Dees so as to avoid a future doing over the barrel by the BODE.

Melbourne have gained big time most trades with Futures.

Like it. Like it A LOT.

McCabe is F/S. Hawks take him when a bid comes.

7,16 and F1 for F1 I’d do.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Exactly which is why they will not want Curtin at 4.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Has a poor team in any draft league (afl, nba) ever traded out their future first and not regretted it?

 

[OldBlueEagle]

Read somewhere they loaded up on next year anyway, to accommodate a deficit next year

Cal Twomey has mentioned a few times you can only carry picks to draft to meet list spots. Apologies if this is dumb question or I misheard what he was saying.
How does that work for GC, if they only have 7 list spots do they need to consolidate their 10 spots into 7 before draft?

 

[Deepthroat]

Jeremy Sharp still uncontracted...........

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

And hopefully also reads


Jeremy Sharp still uncontacted by us ......

The GC list manager has said they will have 6 list spots going into the draft meaning they can only take 6 picks in

ATM they have 6x 2nd rounders plus some other picks from 66 on which they’ll forfeit as they can only take 6 picks in

Once the draft starts, they’ll be able to trade for further picks to accumulate points

 

[Schtinker]

I’m for moving our f2 into this year.

If we move our f2 into this year, we would be odds on to split next year.

And we may even have some players look to move on for success/opportunity if certain players are now being preferred that could net us some draft capital.

Problem with moving our future 2nd is that Gold Coast hols at least 6 of the 18 picks and need them to cover there NGA talent acquisitions. We hold 2 and Carlton has 2 which they would be looking to trade up this year. Value wise it wouldn't get us any picks under 30.

 

[Rajeshtalk]

I think we should keep our draft hand as is, draft Reid and best available then next year if we don’t improve a hell of a lot we should be in line to receive priority access in the draft. We will have a new ceo and potentially new coach who hopefully aren’t too pig headed to ask for assistance. Next year they might be looking to bring in pick purchasing, which I believe would be better than throwing millions at a few players like English, Sam Taylor

ect. The combo of priority access and pick purchasing should make up for our less than ideal draft hand this year

23 37 and future 2nd for pick 7 would be nice

 

[ArdentEagle]

I don't get the love for Hardeman. Seems safe and maybe best case another Hough type?

I'd like to target other players with our second pick. More dynamic, with higher ceilings

Also, how funny is it that the heaviest guy in the draft is only 189cm .

 

[WCEConnor23]

Can anyone provide insight into what kind of player Riley Hardeman could be? at this stage i see us taking him at 23.

AFL-wide reserves comp or VFL going national flagged by Eagles boss in potential massive change

AFL-wide reserves comp or VFL going national flagged by Eagles boss in potential massive change

www.foxsports.com.au

Article quoting Nisbett suggesting that there is likely to be a competition wide reserves comp on the horizon. Like an expanded VFL. It also does mention in the article that if that does happen there will be a significant loss of license fees for the WAFL. I wonder if this is for real or if it is a coded threat to the WAFL that if they don't come to the table and be more reasonable this could happen and they will lose a lot of money.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Not sure if we need any more flankers at all. We need mids and wingers. Use pick 37 for best available at this point and if its a HBF then so be it

Why Pick 1 trade would be in best interests of both North Melbourne and West Coast

‘Ball is in their court’: Eagles to be ‘spoiled for choice’ as ‘high’ Pick 1 value revealed

www.foxsports.com.au

And another article on pick 1 with more quotes for Victorian commentators saying effectively that because our list is so bad and has so many holes we are compelled to split the pick and try and get multiple picks out of it. They are still convinced we will cave in and accept 3 plus two other picks between 15 - 20. This is still the conventional wisdom over there.

 

[sey666]

People are our players are soft - we need a Hardeman on the list.

If we are as bad as they say we will get 2 picks between 15-20 for free next year anyway. Seems such a weird philosophy to have .
