NATIONAL DRAFT PICKS 3 & 7

[CBDees 3,162]

We can still go after Prestia next year by trading another future 1st rounder to GC (2017), we may even give up our 2nd rounder (2016) to help give them points for their Academy player's they have next year.

It just mean we won't be able to do any future picks trading of 1st rounders for the next 2 years afterwards.

If our first round pick next year is #18 then I, for one, have no complaints with Mahoney's strategy!

Suddenly, we have National Draft picks 3 and 7.

Time to upgrade the thread title and of course, to discuss ...

[Sideshow Bob 2,165]

?

[The Chazz 4,077]

discuss ....

But it's much more fun discussing it on all the other threads!

Fantastic outcome and really great trading and list management. Haven't got the A grader in but really impressed with the work that has been put in.

I like the Recruiting team (and Josh)!

Pick #7 is probably already my 5th favourite player.

[Dee-licious 1,867]

I guess we have been talking about it a lot but it seems that we are fairly keen on Parish, Curnow, and Weiderman. The question remains who is pick 4-6. Francis will be one of them, word is Milera is another. That would leave us with 2 of these boys.

Anyone else have any other ideas?

[DubDee 21,315]

thats mental! why would GWS do that deal? 43 for bugg and basically 10 and 63 for pick 7.

we wouldnt have used 63 anyway! haha

[Gorgoroth 12,365]

I gather by that deal we are not going to bid on GWS's academy player.

That's great, 3 and 7.

Well done Dee's.

I love how much Dees fans on here love Seinfeld

Willing to put money on that we wont big on the GWS boys at 3 or 7. Carlton wont put a bid on them at 8. If I am going to loose the picks anyway, I might as well try and get something out of it.

[censored] sensational. Rapt

Further proof that we need to have faith in our FD. It was only a few days ago that many on here were quick to have a crack at Mahoney for not doing enough at the trade table, that others were doing all the good deals and so forth. Now they are quickly changing their tune.

And have a look how it's ended. We got the 3 players we wanted, and not only did we move higher up in the draft order but also landed another pick inside the Top 10 as well. Add to that the upgrades of Vandenberg and Harmes (assuming he gets an upgrade) and we have seriously had an excellent trade period. Plus we only had to lose a few picks, Howe and Toumpas to achieve it.

Great stuff all round from the club.

[Gorgoroth 12,365]

I'm tipping we will nominate Sydney's academy player but not GWS's

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

My favourite numbers.

[olisik 4,060]

Do we know who Gc r going to take at 6? If so then that's our answer.

Surely ROOSY doesn't hold grudges?

[beelzebub 22,370]

Now I'm suddenly interested in the top picks in the draft.

me too hadnt even given two hoots before..lol

[mo64 5,262]

Great outcome, but the proof will be in the players recruited. We've been down this road before.

[Demon Disciple 11,139]

[olisik 4,060]

Maybe Gc have indicated they like Mathieson. Leaving us parish at 3 and Weideman at 7.
