THE MYSTERY OF DRAFT PICK 3?

If we take 3 to the draft, unless we have some sort of sweet deal with GWS  i think we have to make a bid on their academy guy if he is rated that highly. We of all clubs cant afford to miss any opportunity to slow down the growth of the AFL" pet clubs. Why on earth would we allow an easy extra hit at the first round for GWS if we can prevent it?

If he is rated in the top 5 and fills a need, i say we bid and make GWS pay a price. We havent exactly made like bandits in our trades with GWS, so its time to get a bit back.

    Think they are well ahead with us giving them Kelly for Salem and Tyson. Time for us to win one with them.

    Yes agree. Green is the right guy for us, good pedigree, quality person, size ready to play, hard at it and competitive. Large family support  in Melbourne

    Priority should be Ben King. GC to on trade Pick 3 for Brad Crouch. Adelaide deal with GWS. 

    If this is no chance;

    We trade Pick 3 and 40 to GWS for Pick 12, 18, Midfielder Jye Caldwell and Zac Langdon. 

    Or 

    trade Pick 3 and 40 to GWS for Picks 12, 18, GWS 2020 First Rounder and Zac Langdon.

    Shattered but that's the way it goes. They should of given the priority next year.

    So who is it Ash, Serong, Young or someone else? Thoughts?

    This is an absolute farce. AFL is a crock of shocky fwits. How the hell do the suns only 7-8 years in after a mass of draft etc concession, end up getting the same again because they created their own rabble. 

    I am over AFL and have decided to watch and follow NRL. Yes not perfect but a dog [censored] on the carpet is better than the knobs that run and have ruined this game. 

    Will keep an eye on dees but will not renew membership, watch games or buy merchandise. It is like giving money to the mafia.

    So SEN reporting that the Hawks will go after Noah Anderson via pick 2. I hope those in AFL house have contemplated this and how unjust it would be to manipulate the draft so that the player we would have rightfully got will end up at the hawks..I just cannot swallow that.

    How on earth would they get 2?

    Makes sense, Noah is the son of Dean Anderson, ex hawk

    I'd laugh if GCS traded with Hawks for pick 2, only to take Anderson with 1!

    When the Suns were gifted one of the top 2 picks, the thinking was that they were best mates who would go up to the GC, and stay there, which would be good for the GC retention problem. The AFL should have put a condition on picks 1 & 2 that they can't be traded out, otherwise the whole argument about why they got the pick in the first place doesn't make any sense.

    Clearly that would not happen.

    Do you mean that some confused and cooked Hawthorn supporter rang in to suggest that the Hawks should go after Anderson?

    As others have stated, the reason GC were given pick two as part of a package was so they can secure both Rowell and Anderson together. They're best mates. And the Gold Coast need everything working in their favour to keep their young talent together.

    In short, regardless of what you hear on SEN, GC will be taking Rowell and Anderson. It's the only reason the AFL gave them pick 2 as a PP. 

    You would hope so!

    Personally i think Lachie Ash, but the smokey i'd consider is Flanders who i think is going to be very good player. 

    young also ticks a lot of boxes. it's really him or Ash for me.

    If it's Flanders, you can already bank the nickname 'Ned'.

    I think it was Chris Pelchen that suggested. Gave zero details as to how it could be possible.

     

    No chance.

    I’ve come around to this, he can develop nicely while taking pressure off TMac and Weids. My only concern would be that Weids would get stuck behind him and not continue to develop, I still believe in Sam but jeez we need him to get a wriggle on.

    Getting Ben King or even Peter Wright from the Gold Coast Suns would be a massive coup.

    If not, I am happy keeping pick 3# in the AFL National Draft.

     

    I like the look of Hayden Young from the Dandenong Stingrays. The Demons are crying out for players who are excellent kicks with great decision making under pressure.

    Firstly, we will try to split the pick, but may not get a good enough offer. But if we take 3 to the draft, I originally wanted us to pick Young (for his kicking) or Ash (for his speed). But I have come around to the idea of picking mid/fwd Serong. Compared to Robbie Gray & Tom Papley, I think this kid could be a gun.

    If we're gonna take pick 3 to the draft, i'd want to bring in a kid with either elite kicking skills or elite pace. Serong isn't elite in either of these.

    Brodie Kemp

    I really like the look of this kid.  I think there's some massive upside there.  I'm not sure we'd take him with pick three, but if we split it and downgrade a few spots he'd be a great get.

    I would. He was starting to hit his straps when he went down and if he was able to get though the entirety of the U18 carnival, i reckon he would've easily pushed his name up to be equal to the likes of Ash and Young.

    He's quick and explosive (hopefully that won't fade after he recovers from his ACL), takes a good grab, likes to throw his weight around and is a good kick.

    Given the so called 'evenness' after the top 2 picks, i wouldn't be upset if we decided to take Kemp if we had pick 3.

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
