Pre Season Draft

[DeeMfc 621]

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

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

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

Yes, I live in fantasy land.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

What makes you think we'll be going to the psd?

We haven't in any other years since Jurrah.

[What 18,810]

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

Doubt we get anyone good

[poita 3,902]

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.

[Beats 190]

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.

[watchtheeyes 1,422]

Petrenko.. used to be known for his forward defensive pressure??

[DeeMfc 621]

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

[beelzebub 23,383]

Brock.....is that you ?????

[DeeMfc 621]

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

Nope, I can spell!

[rolly 149]

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

[watchtheeyes 1,422]

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

Run with this to start with:

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?

[DeeSpencer 26,081]

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

[watchtheeyes 1,422]

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?
