Well, after the underwhelming finish to the trade period who will we take with Pre Season Draft Pick 2?

    I'm hoping for a disgruntled, newly delisted, sanction-free Essendon player.

    Yes, I live in fantasy land.

    the PSD is not what it used to be now thanks to the Delisted free agent thing

    Doubt we get anyone good

    Yep, we've had far better opportunities in previous years to take a PSD pick and haven't done so. I fully expect us to sit tight and tolerate the likes of Evans for another year.

    It should have been Frost. If there was anyone worthwhile out of contract it would have been reported through the media. Unlikely we use the PSD pick.

    I guess we will have a better idea when/if someone of note doesn't nominate for the draft.

    Hang on, just let me finish this burnout.......

    Nope, I can spell! :P

    i dont understand why we would use basically an end of rnd 1 pick for him when we could have gotten him for nothing in the pre-season draft instead?

    what is the advantage of getting the two later more speculative when pick 23 would have a better chance for success in what i believe has been called an "even-talent pool" at the top end

    not you per se -_- ....... our possible pick #2 in PSD :)

    Let's not turn this thread in to a 'woe is me' 'why did we do that' thread, enough of that happening elsewhere.

    Anyone else keen to actually put up some names of who they would take in the existing PSD pool?

    I don't think so unless the belt on the no DH rule has been seriously loosened :blink:

    A fair point, but I am interested to see at some stage the likely candidates that would go PSD as opposed the ND. Just seems with FA that its all been shaken up some. Still more than one way home.

    Agreed!

    Lets go in the polar opposite direction. Has GAJ re-signed? :rolleyes:

    So far we have 0 list spots.

    And picks 2, 3, 40, 53, PSD 2.

    Unless we get to 4 delistings we wont use it.

    So far I can only see 3 delistings - Blease, Strauss, Tapscott

  • Quote

    Can pay out contracts and looking at existing list there are players there that I'd have over Evans, Mckenzie and several others. For example, who would you prefer, Mckenzie or Clint Jones?

    Which begs the question, why bother even negotiating the picks we got back from GWS? Or at the very least pick 53?

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
