I remember the good old days fondly when H&A rounds ended and this was my favourite thread

 

I don't think Gold Coast are getting enough advantages 🙄

Has a team ever won the flag and had the no 1 pick? Would be a great trick if we could pull it off. The other clubs will be spewing

Closest I can think of is Sydney winning the flag then recruiting Buddy.

Another 5 years or so of top 4 finishes and i might look back to that time wistfully. 

Not yet but.

Sydney came runner up in 2014 and got Isaac Heeney for a bargain at pick 18 being a part of their academy. Was rated a top 5 pick.

Pretty sure there was a mini outcry after that so the afl changed the rules meaning clubs then had to match bids for their academy players. This was the introduction of the new draft points system rather than just clubs using their next selection.

The following year we bid on Mills at #3. Thank god they matched.

WC will live trade the number 1 pick to us on draft night.

Get ready for the Demon Harley — it’s coming! Would have to be a monumental change of beliefs & player ratings from now to October for it to fall over. 
 

Get excited!!! This kid is sheer dynamite & as for ceiling, his is Gar superior to ANY of this or last years draft choices, don’t even begin to argue about it, just ask JT.

Personally, I’d of been wrapped with Watson & Sanders but Harley could be anything.

Yeah, back in the day, I used to really look forward to reading the Harley Reid thread. 😉

Don't think you have the bait right.

Yeah a new means of deathride transportation.

Is anybody going to summon @Chook in Perth on any murmurings over this potential pick trade - He had the good mail in the past!


Edit: I consider myself a nobody! :laugh:

You can see how compromised this draft could potentially be. 

Just a note on your order, GC have pick 4 (pick 6 in your mock) and will presumably trade it out... so there will be another selection between Hawks and Melbourne with the GC Read bid notwithstanding. Might be us, might be another team. If your general order stays then we miss out on Duursma and we're looking at prospects from Caddy onwards.

Yes GC do have pick 4, but will be gobbled up with their first academy member at pick 2, so they will trade it out for currency (our proposal will be 15, 24, 34 and our FF1, possibly then offer 4 and 5 to WC for 1), we may be the club who bid and get their pick 4, but who knows, I'll still take any 2 of Watson, Duursma, Caddy or O'Sullivan. Will be interesting off season. Its all navel gazing at the moment, Cheers

Pick 4 and 5 for pick is overs imo. If we offer 4 and 5 (on the assumption, we are successful in obtaining from GC) you would be expecting something back from GC in addition to pick 1.

so 5, 15, 24 , 34 AND a future 1st ( say 15) fr pick Harley. 3x 1st  rounders and 2x 2nd. that’s a LOT of capital.

The Eagles and North upending tanking theory the last 2 weeks. Maybe clubs aren't as fixated on high picks as we think they are.

Doesn't matter how good the talent is if the team doesn't know how to win, I also Imagine WC want Curtain so don't care and Nth may be eyeing the Sanders and Mckercher duo.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
