  1. 1. If West Coast offered their future first round pick on draft night to secure Curtain with our pick 6 would you do it?

According to Cal T. :

”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

WC could offer their F1 progressively to Hawthorn, the Dogs, MFC, GWS, Geelong until Curtin is taken. It will become progressively more attractive.

    The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...

    It is not the justification, as no one would take a dud in the hope you could swap him.

    Curtin was suggested to be as good as  Reid by some pundits.

    It’s more an insurance bonus if homesickness leads him to want to return to WA.

    If he is available at our pick I would think we probably take him and swapping him later with Reid would not enter into the drafting discussion.

    The Eagles will offer it for every spot that Curtin is available, but I’m not convinced we take it. Especially not straight up.

    That said, if there’s no one left that we rate in the elite crop we have a choice to make between:

    1. Moving back the prized part of the Jackson trade back one year further 

    2. Taking Curtin who seems to be increasing his flight risk level to a fairly high level, which means he could be gone inside 3 years. Could all be rubbish, but the player manager played his cards strongly. 

    Im always of the belief you draft interstate talent unless you think it’s inevitable. Curtin could be flirting with it. Only those with inside knowledge would know.

    I’m hoping JT and Co have someone else in the top bracket they want instead and take the pick.

    Curtin’s manager said he has talked to the Dees, and that they said they would take him at 6, if he’s still there.

    Skip ahead to about 10.30 in.

    Melbourne #6 -> North

    North #2 #6 -> West Coast (= Curtain & satisfies their want for 2 top 10 picks)

    West Coast #1 -> North (= Reid)

    North & West Coast Future First Rounds -> Melbourne

     

    Would you?

    That's potentially pick 1 and 2 in next year's draft. You'd have to look at it

    WC 2024 first rounder is 95% to be either pick 1 or 2. most likely 1.

    Suns, Freo, Hawks, bombers will all improve

    I wonder if we consider trading to North for their 2023 p15 and 2024 1st?  Cal has Darcy Wilson going to North with this selection. 
     

    is Wilson + Norths 2024 1st > that Windsor?

    You may well turn out to be right. The wildcard is what Free Agency compo picks get dealt out by AFL House.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
