NB: I have removed picks that clubs aren’t going to use based on Cal Twomey’s analysis of how many selections each club is expected to make

 

[eaglespremiers]

I learnt my lesson losing a Chesterfield to a lawyer who was my ex. That was only 30 years ago, not that I am still annoyed.

Important lessons in trading 101 - learn from past experiences.

Yes, mistakes tend to have that silver lining.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Fair to say you normally have to give up something of value to get something of value.

I would have been happy to do the deal if I was Melbourne or Norf so hat feels like a win win.

2 things to watch. Will the lawyer make the Suns pay fair value for Walters and who does eaglespremiers think is the best fit for the Dees list.

A surprise. Would there be a cheeky offer of 2, 42, F1, North F3 and Dogs F3 for the Harley pick? Dees have Sydney's F2 so they could probably do it.

Oh, I have nefarious plans.

If you kept her around it would've cost you a Mercedes

 

[EagleMan87]

As a lawyer myself maybe he should be the one counting his fingers.

Is anyone on this board not a lawyer?

 

[DanWCE]

Is anyone on this board not a lawyer?

Me. Although I dabble in a bit of contract stuff. Anything too jibberish we outsource to a lawyer. By that point it's money down the drain as the terms will never be agreeable by all parties.

 

[mitchzz]

If Port is still available I'll take them and make a few meaningless picks at the tail-end of the draft

It's a bit boring, isn't it?

I heard you're barely legal.

 

[Hook461123]

I expect eaglespremiers with the Dees pick to make the Suns pay pick 2 points for Walter. why? He is the second best prospect in this draft.

I am holding 3, 6, 8, 11 and 17 so I am sure there will be some northern academy prospects I view as enticing at those ranges.

Nice work, think thats a much better pick range for North

This is exactly what norf should do.

Conceivable...
3 duursma
6 curtain/ossulivan
8 ossulivan/caddy
11 Leake
17 goad

Just about covers the need for talls, forwards or defenders.

You always need options trading back meaning if your target is gone, you need other options. The good news is that the draft has great talls and I can go later with some if need be.

Sanders Leake and Windsor are their as possible op 10 picks and would all suit needs, but you are correct in that the range at those picks is perfect for Norf.

Oh no my target might be gone at 1.



Oh wait. No he isn’t

Reckon Collard will be available at pick one.

 

[Mop]

With Pick One, I, Mop, AKA Sausage roll man…….


am in late discussions with a potential trade. A decision will be in by the top of the hour

 

[Mop]

And they’re dead


We take Harley Reid from the Bendigo Pioneers with pick one

An explosive, dynamic all action utility mid/forward, this lad is the bees knees and the toy every club has frothed over for two years.

[Farang83150]

Is anyone on this board not a lawyer?

Me, I can hardly spell the word!

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

With a strong young midfield coming through, Norf were able to miss out on McKercher as there will be another great mid for them next year.

What Norf really need is some outside speed and polish and someone to kick goals.

With pick 5, Norf select Zane Duursma



Speaking of lawyers - over to you Miguel Sanchez

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Well I was tossing up between Duursma and Watson here, so it looks like I’m taking Watson.

Writeup on what’s probably my only live pick will come later tonight.

CountryLad can take his pick and get back to paying attention to his wife.
