Agree. JT is a draft strategy zen master.  Gets us two great youngsters and then back into 2022 for future drafting strategy and moves. He just nailed it AGAIN. 

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Hello 2022 Third & Fourth Round Selections

Posted in another thread, but will repeat here.

2022 picks.

Round 1 - 0 picks (Traded to Crows)

Round 2 - 1 pick (Demons)

Round 3 - 2 picks (Demons, Crows)

Round 4 - 2 picks (Demons, Saints)

I’m still trying to get my head around the logic of giving up an early round 3 pick for a future mid round 3 pick… further Arlo Draper and Zac Taylor who were both sliders were still available. 

Because we rated the flexibility of having an open list position higher than we rated them.

We went in with a 'fill needs' rather than 'best available' mindset.  The club probably figured we had their skill sets covered and preferred to bring in a future 3rd round pick instead of drafting either.  The club would already be planning next year's trade/draft so see value in an extra pick or two in 2022.

That doesn't mean the club didn't rate them just not for us at this time.

Stranger things have happened but I don’t think anyone is predicting the Crows to play finals so it’s a matter of moving 41 to probably 40-46. 41 in one of the most compromised drafts of all time to a similar pick in hopefully a normal draft year with bonus extra players who snuck through.

The thing I don’t like is the lack of list flexibility that we go in to the draft with. We could’ve left one or more of Baker, M Brown, Majak, Rosman, Bedford etc open to re rookie them and had that extra list spot.

But the footy department have consistently valued locking in our own guys, evaluating the depth of the draft early and it’s hard to argue with the results.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
