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.

This thread will get a few more pages yet.

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.

Don't think you have the bait right.

Sounds like an alternative death ride

[Ethan Tremblay 31,168]

Will we play him round 1?

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!

Why wait? If it’s a fait accompli, let’s suit him up against the Pies

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

[BDA 22,957]

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.
