The philosopher had no 'K'. Possibly compensated for by drafting KK. The euthanasia advocate on  the other hand ……… Yes, I am just filling in time in the long wait for our next pick.

So our next pick will be Bedford or have we gone cold on him?

Pick 78 and 85

do we have enough outside runners added?

Bedford. McKenzie. Ayton-Delaney.  All left. 

And of course Frank Anderson.

Aren't we bring Maynard onto the main list? Or is that just from category B onto the rookie list

Edited November 23, 20186 yr by Demon Disciple

I think Smith and Keilty stay as rookies.  Maynard into main list.  

 

One spot left on the primary list and one spot left on the rookie list I believe.

I believe Maynard takes up that spare spot on the main list??

I had already factored him in for a spot on the main list before the draft at which time we still had 6 spots available. We ended up taking 5 players in the draft so I believe that still leaves one spot on the main list. I could be wrong.

Just double checked and yes, after the draft we have 39 players on our senior list including Maynard so we can select one more player.

Also have 3 players on the rookie list - Keilty, T Smith and C Wagner. So one spot there too.

We don't have to fill the main list. Can go 39 and 5.

I assume we'll pass in the PSD and take 2 rookies. Have 39 main list. 5 A rookies. 2 B rookies.

Here are all the highlights packages of our drafted players in one.

Okay.

Pardon my ignorance but what would be the club's reasoning for having one less player on the senior list and one extra on the rookie list?

Salary cap relief.

Most likely either just balancing the list profile and/or salary cap space and contracts. 

If you look at our existing rookies Tim Smith, Keilty and Corey Wagner could all easily be on the senior list. They are experienced VFL players who might well be handy enough depth on an AFL list. So it's not like we are short on experienced players in the 44. 

We've just added 4 kids and 1 mature age player in Hore, we've got 2 more picks. It's probably better to have both of those picks as rookie picks on 1 year deals so we can take chances on guys who might not work out.

I think rookie base wages aren't counted in the salary cap either so it probably saves 80k you can use elsewhere.

Haha, indeed. It's general excellence these days. The APS doesn't allow sports scholarships.

Didn't Trenners captain PAC? 

Yeah I think he did. Probably on one of those “general excellence” scholarships or his parents knew someone who knew someone. The Old Adelaide network. PAC has produced a lot of AFL footballers, boys from country SA.

Judd, Shiel, Ziebell, Goddard, T Phillips. Good pedigree. But yeah. I'm biased.

Not a bad list. Although all the APS schools have a fair crop of players. Carey, Xavier, Scotch, Haileybury, Wesley, Brighton. In the old days very few came from private schools but that has certainly changed over the past 10-15 years. 

What the hell, part 2 of the draft was today and not tonight?

This is so bloody confusing.   Guess I better go see who we picked...

Gee whiz. That trade with the Suns lost Hill for the Eagles after the Giants slid in and did the trade with the Crows..

Cop that.

Didn't want him. Had a lock on Cameron who is similar. Adding both would have been a waste.

Like to see 3 Stingrays given a Casey Demons opportunity over the summer to get a spot.  Watched the TAC Cup Grand Final and believe these guys have further opportunities ahead. 

Riley Bowman - 198 cms ruck/forward. Potential to be AFL ruckman with good skills and agility  

Campbell Hustwaite - strong mid/half back.  Hibberd like attack.  Competitor.  

Lachlan McDonnell - 190cms half fwd/half back.  Lovely kick and can nail a goal from the 50.

Carlton are still rubbish. No defenders and no midfield depth. Cripps or Kreuzer get injured and Adelaide is getting Pick 1 next year.

Carlton are 2 years behind us and have built very well, 2020 onwards they come into top 8 contention. Spine is all there 40 games more into their young nucleus and they'll pick up another ruckman and a few other pieces when Murphy Kruzear and Simpson retire to fill the holes. They have a good young list

B.   Jones       Weitering     Plowman

HB. Docherty  Marchbank    ?????

C.  Cunningham Cripps       Fisher

HF. Mcgovern    C.Curnow  Dow

F.   Pet-Seton     Mckay    ?????

R. ???, E.Curnow Walsh

IC from Stocker, Mcreadie, Kerr, Settefield, Pickett

Cripps aside, who is going to and get the ball? Cripps, Docherty and possibly Curnow aside who are the definite A grade talent based on exposed potential? A lot of what if there.

Same was said about us 2016/17

I’m sure the LNP are asking the very same question tonight.

Guy saying we have more chance of winning a premiership than getting funding from him has clearly ticked off most of Victoria. Ang good riddance.

Time to get back to work Dan, and build our training base!
