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.

Benny was bloody good, but not generational.

You're kidding right?

Waaaay off topic.

 

[new breed]

Judd was definately a generational talent ;

, Chris Judd hard to separate.

 

[eaglevision]

Judd at his peak is the best player I’ve ever seen in my lifetime (38 years). Bar none. He won’t go down as having the best career, but I’ve never seen anyone play better than he was capable of 2004-2006.

 

[EagleMan87]

Alright, you've all convinced me: we should trade pick 1 for Judd.

 

[UseR2006]

Judd to replace Nissie?

. Generational talent.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Out of that list, I would rate Franklin, with daylight between the others.
You could make a case for Carey and possibly Ablett.
They're all champions of the game however.

• 8 - Gary Ablett Jr. | 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
• 8 – Patrick Dangerfield | 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
• 8 – Lance Franklin | 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018
• 8 – Robert Harvey | 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003
• 8 – Mark Ricciuto | 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005
• 7 – Craig Bradley | 1983, 1985, 1986, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997
• 7 – Nathan Buckley | 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003
• 7 – Wayne Carey | 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000
• 7 – Paul Roos | 1985, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997

Probably far too off topic but Carey and Ablett were arguably (and imo) better than Buddy, there definitely isn't daylight between them

If Curtain gets to 6 the eagles will end up with Reid AND Curtain one way or the other, probably a big pick trade with Gold Coast and no bidding

 

[eagles rule]

Kerr is criminally underrated IMO.

Two seconds and a 3rd in the Brownlow.
Not as "sexy" as Judd and Cousins but I place them nearly in the same bracket.

I had Kerr well behind Judd and Cousins, he benefited by being the 3 wheel .. I rated Kerr but he wasn’t much of a leader..

STAY ON TOPIC, sheesh

 

[new breed]

Traded one generational talent in Judd for another Josh Kennedy .
Win / Win

Whoever we take with pick 1 or our multitude of picks we might receive they could be as good .

 

[bUCKET__]

Come on all, stay on topic. We don't need a generational talent, or even a champion player. Our club is in the market for potential Legacy Players to replace the old Legacy Players.

I’d be happy with an elite player. Maybe even an A grader

Top 10 looking strong. Would be great to have one more top 10 pick to go with pick 1 if we can somehow.

 

[KERRPOW]

Earlier on in the season i wanted to trade pick 1.for 3 top 10 picks ... But now i think we need to keep it

 

[UseR2006]

Keep Pick 1.

 

[frenchconnection]

This.

People are too young or forget how good Cuzz was. Especially when we were a rabble early 00s it was only him worth watching and he'd bust his gut every week.

As he started to get help from Kerr, Judd etc it was just glorious.

Reid would have to be bloody amazing for a decade to compete.

But I'm looking for to Reid, Hewett, Long, Ginbey and co building for the next few years.

It'll be exciting at least.

Personally I found Cuzz much more exciting to watch than Judd - not saying Judd wasn’t a top player as he certainly was - just not as exciting to watch as Cuzz imo.

 

[eaglespremiers]

90’s Ablett Snr, Carey
2000’s Ablett Jnr
2010’s Buddy, Dusty

Martin, lol.

Frenchy, no..no, please.
Appreciate your take.
Watched games at Subi back in the day
Judd electrified the whole stadium...unbelievable/anticipation anytime he was near the ball.
Love Cuz, 100,..Judd next level crazy

Wow, that was quite a take by frenchconnection .
Never seen anyone remotely like Judd at West Coast:

 

[kingerzz]

Decided to make a decision tree of the last two games of the season to determine the probability we'll get the number 1 pick. I've used the betting odds as a proxy for probability of each outcome however I've ignored the fact that the betting company does take a cut which distorts the odds slightly.

 

[WCEConnor23]

Reid and De Mattia 1 & 19 Lual at 35.

Bring the whole family.
