Preseason Draft

We have pick 2 in the PSD and Iā€™m interested to see who we could nab.Ā 

Jack Martin was spoken about but seems that he is not interested.

Harley Bennell is a possible but seems to be a risk?

Riley Knights, Casbolt, Henderson and Gray also likely

Any thoughts?

    If itā€™s not Martin then it seems weā€™ve wasted an opportunity. We wonā€™t be near the top of the drafts again for sometime so need to make it count.

    Levi has already signed on at Carlton. I assume most of the other names if they picked up by another club will be a delisted free agent. I assume the Pre season draft won't be used apart from Carlton with Jack Martin considering that it's the same day as the draft now

    So then you think we should plan for a bunch of high draft picks in the coming years because we'll fail?

    I'd rather live with the same belief as Lord Travis. Life is too short.

    That's all good - but the reality is MFC has finished better than 10th twice in the last 10 years and played finals once - hardly inspiring stuff that fills you with confidence

    Like you I live in hope ever year but to say we won't be close to the top of the drafts for sometime is a stretch based on history and the past season performance wouldn't you sayĀ

    Sorry if Iā€™m mentioning it in the wrong thread. But I think we should take Sam Murray. Delisted free agent I think!

    In the context of annual drafts, which is what this board is about, I think it's perfectly appropriate to plan as if we won't have high draft picks for a while.

    Do you think our recruiters plan for failure?

    We need a Jakovich or Jurrah.Ā Ā 

    No worries, there should be plenty of them everywhere.

    Those players - apart from Martin - will be delisted free agents available to sign without the draft. When it comes to the PSD we will have 3 options:

    1. Martin
    2. Pass
    3. Catch wind of Gold Coast (unlikely due to being able to prelist academy pick ups) with pick 1 in the rookie draft or any other team with a subsequent pick being interested in players we want to rookie draft, forcing us to reassess our plans and add them to our main list.

    We must pick Martin if he's not delisted & declared a free agent & nominates Carlton. The Suns aren't going 2 do Carlton any favours so if he goes in National Draft they will need to use pick 9 or the run risk that someone else picks him up. Or he nominates PSD in which case Suns redraft him or WE do b4 Carlton at pick 3. Stuff Martin he must go to whoever drafts him so I'm hoping we grow a pair & pick him.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaideā€™s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksyā€™s mighty Demons. Ā Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground ā€” letā€™s hope that trend holds. Ā But donā€™t expect charity ā€” Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
