Strategy What to do with pick 1 now we’ve got it - Do We Need Reid or is it Curtins

[Dylan82]

I've had enough of all of these kents already.

Nothing would satisfy me more right now than drafting H.Reid and watch him kick a bag against the tin-rattlers.


And anyone else wanting to entertain splitting the pick in this massively compromised draft needs to give themselves an uppercut as well.

It's weird watching a game of footy with no commentary.

Super mega trade

I felt like indulging my nuffy side and coming up with a mega trade that gets everything done in one go. Some of you are going to call me a massive campaigner that should delete my account for the very suggestion that we trade down from pick one but it's just a bit of fun. I know that we shouldn't trade down from one even if it nets us prime Judd riding a giant robot spider and 20 home games a season so no need to lose your sh1t.

Assumptions: North gets pick 3 for McKay and takes McKercher and Curtin with picks 2 and 3. This leads to us trading down from 5 with the Bulldogs. If we knew that North were going to take Watson or anyone else not named McKercher or Curtin at 3 we would keep pick 5. But I'm going to make the wildly optimistic assumption that North actually makes a good decision. I did a quick mock draft up to pick 11. Neither Ryley Sanders(even if not tied to North) or Darcy Wilson make it through to pick 11. This draft is really short on mids in general.

Harleys IQ is incredible, a beautiful couple touches out of defence

 

[eaglespremiers]

Harley in everything ATM

Geez his had about 7 touches in first 3 minutes of the third. Getting plenty of it.

 

[TerryFilk]

Another great mark on the wing by Reid

 

[Free Agent]

They resting him forward most this quarter

 

[Coasters7]

Playing in long sleeves for a first half to get a sweat up - his team getting pantsed

Takes the sleeves off in the second half and starts taking over - his team gets back in the game

I’ve seen all I need to see

Played like 5 minutes of that quarter in the middle and dominated then the last 15 minutes they put in full forward where the ball didn't go up there at all.

Why don't they leave just him in the midfield.

 

[ep2018]

I will never forgive the club if we dont pick Harley with 1 or if we trade the pick.

 

[new breed]

What happens if we trade pick 1 for three first round picks which includes pick 2 !?

This is the only way I would trade pick 1 even then 50/50 .

 

[Shmiddy15]

I will never forgive the club if we dont pick Harley with 1 or if we trade the pick.

There's zero chance we take someone else with pick 1 imo. If we keep the pick we'll take Reid. Whether or not we split it is the concern.

 

[Ace McKane]

The go home factor is so overstated by the media and everyone without a clue … so many of our best players have been from interstate including Shuey and Hurn.

We are the richest and (should be) the best resourced club in the comp. Harley would get anything and everything he could ever ask for plus more with great host families, at other clubs with top 5 picks he’d be lucky to get a post game massage.

What 18 year old wouldn’t want to come to WA as a marquee player and star of our young developing midfield. Good weather, beaches, travel… and a selection of Hip E club bitches on a silver platter.

If he wants to go home in a few years you deal with it… if he’s as good as he’s made out to be, we will end up with hopefully some success in between and a bounty of picks in return.

Pick 1 - rights to the best player in the country.. you take him. I really don’t think the club would be that stupid/irresponsible to miss this chance. I bet they’re all sitting there giggling at every expert and their shitty ass trade theories.

[Coasters7]

Did he just do a hammy?

 

[Free Agent]

Oh shit Harley injured twisted ankle badly.

 

[eaglespremiers]

That might be it for Harley's season

Any one suggesting trading out pick one, look at yourself in the mirror and if you ever see that bloke again that’s looking back at you punch him.

Should be able to pick him up with pick 1 (in the PSD)

 

[Free Agent]

This is a pretty shitty ground though. Very windy kind of like Tasmania

 

[Free Agent]

Well that's it. Fingers crossed it's just a minor twisted ankle.

 

[Cursedsword02]

Well that's it. Fingers crossed it's just a minor twisted ankle.

Did you see what the incident was?

 

[archiemoses]

Seems like he is getting injured quite regularly. Perfect for us.

 

[Free Agent]

Did you see what the incident was?

Yeah ankle. Went down for about minute or two in pain and got back up limping on his foot.

 

[TerryFilk]

About to watch some Dan Curtin, but won’t be able to for another 20 odd minutes

Is he playing forward or down back?
