Tom Green (Drafted by GWS Giants)

If we keep pick 3, I'd like to hear views from Demonland's draft intelligentsia about this guy.

Should we call his name at pick 3, possibly forcing GWS to match bid? If they don't match, is he good enough to warrant pick 3? 

I'm not a fan of drafting for need, or bidding to force a hand. My view is almost totally 'best available' at that pick.

Thoughts?

    Sounds like Moonshadow, contrary to his stated aim of ignoring me has taken my advice on picking Green.

    Don't think he is taking your advice, there are plenty of others suggesting we nominate Green but it will be to no avail as GWS will still take him.

    Has there been any acknowledgement in the media that GWS want pick 3, or is this isolated to demonland?

    I feel like this scenario, if true, should be obvious to people in the business; but i have not heard anyone mention Green or a gws/melb pick swap.

    There has been consistent talk of GWS needing to get a 'low pick' to get Green and a high quality draftee.

    If they stop where they are, it more or less places his value at pick six (or we have offered too high a price for our pick).

    Mitch Cleary just said that he doesn't think we will bid on Tom Green, which then makes sense why we wont split pick 3.

    Good, lets take pick 3, take Hayden Young, look at getting a small at 26 and a tall with out 3rd. Keep a pick for the pre-season or rookie draft and get on with getting the club back on the road.

    Can someone pretty please explain this

     

    is Tom Green an academy player /etc that’s why GWS can match!

     

    if we bid, and they match, what does that actually mean in terms of draft/ picks/$ etc

    we bid on him at 3

    GWS says no we’ll match

    then what?

    they have to give up their next x picks to match the value of 3 in points which effectively releases a player further down the draft?

    does it have a deleterious effect on us except maybe make us look like pr1x

    they get a 20% discount on points to pick him up - they must use points from their NEXT pick (which is new, i think, as you used to be able to use back-ended picks)

    only danger to us is we have to take him, which would be a shame as he looks VERY good

    we won't nominate him with 3 i don't think as we won't rate him in the top 3, but who knows...maybe we do! hard to know cos we DON'T LEAK anymore

    Thanks !

    how can you use points from your next pick, eg if your next pick is 8 how can you take points from a pick??

    each pick has points attributed to it

    so we use pick 3 to bid on green, it's worth xyz points, then gw$ need to use xyz-20% points, which they can do so by using a combo of pick 12 and pick 50 say which are worth xyz-20% points

    it's convoluted, and a farce, but less easily exploited than when sydney matched the mills bid a few years back as an example

    That makes sense now

    we could force them to pay overs by using 2 picks and sacrificing one to access the points

     

    all because he’s an academy or father son?

     

    thanks for explaining, much appreciated !??️‍♀️??

    If GWS had pick 3, they could use that on say, Sarong, and then use subsequent picks for Green when a club selects him with their pick. That's why there was talk here that we could split pick 3 with GWS and possibly receive 2 picks inside 15 for 3. Could be win/win.

    I thought Adelaide were going to nominate Green and that is why GWS want our pick 3?

    Trenners won the B&F in the SANFL this year, we have had some pretty ordinary results picking players from that comp.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
