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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
