Welcome to Demonland: Pick #5

[ElDiablo14 4,861]

Thank you Saints and Suns.

[adonski 10,756]

[Fanatique Demon 2,621]

Now to make a wise choice.

[BW511 2,556]

I’m not a draft/CTL watcher, so who’s got those elite skills and agility that we need?

Houston?

[Pulp Fritschon 690]

Avoids any Battle compo affecting our first pick also. Thank you Saints. 

[Swooper1987 3,202]

Don't trade it! With Levi Ashcroft a likely number 1, we will have a choice of one of Jagga Smith, Finn O'Sullivan, Murphy Reid, Harvey Langford, Sid Draper or Josh Smillie.  All should be excellent AFL players.

So only an Academy player or F/S can get in our way. 

[DeeSpencer 24,625]

Well I was proven wrong, I thought the Saints Saintliness would see them throw it.

We might have to give Jack Higgins a statue and pick up Zak Jones.

I mean, Jones fits nicely in our spent midfielder recruiting pattern of the last two years anyway so we’ll probably get him. Then add a few extra bucks for that handball and smother.

Is Murphy related to Harley?

Just prepare the terrain for the Reid bros.

The eagles haven’t tried a priority pick yet. But I don’t think they’d get a top 5 pick.

Pick 5 

***** DO NOT TRADE THIS PICK *****

Will be pick 6 given Lions father son pick Levi Ashcroft should be pick 2 or 3. 

I think top 4 is clearly Finn O’Sullivan, Jagga Smith, Luke Trainor and Sid Draper. 

Prime choices are “live pick 5” Harvey Langford, Sam Lalor, Xavier Lindsay or Josh Smillie. (In that order for me) 

[Greendale 348]

Fantastic draft for us to have pick 5. Midfield heavy with minimal seperation at the top. Has the potential to re-energise our midfield to continue the premiership window

Is any of those kids Cripps size mid?

No relation.  But a gun all the same. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1161442/reid-all-about-it-slick-mid-dominates-for-vic-metro

Jason Taylor when Richo and Lamb try to trade it for another 28 year old with no hamstrings.

If the entire footballing world can see that we are not just a HBF away from finals, I pray that our club can to.

If we cough up pick 5 for Houston, one good thing is the club has no home base for the supporters to burn down.

If we did this trade and flounder again next year, it would also guarantee the end for Goody/Pert/Richo etc

 

[BDA 22,210]

if the draft is deep this year we should look at trading our future first for another top 10 pick. You would think we are attractive as quite possible next years pick could be high as well. Maybe Freo will trade with us? Deathride them again. that would be fun.

I effin hope not,  not with pick 5 anyway 

pick the best available footballer no matter his position,  Houston with other movers perhaps bug nog pick 5.

[ElDiablo14 4,861]

Murphy Reid looks a bit small for modern footy.

Whose the tallest from this potential crop?

[Demon Time 30]

We have to take this pick to the draft and pick up a quality midfielder who can play in the red & blue for the next 10 years. While I rate Houston and some of the other potential trade targets, none of them are more valuable than this pick.

Praying Alan Richardson goes back on his earlier comment about trading our pick for older players. Our list management has been good in the past, got to back them in to pick a future gun. 

[Ugottobekidding 1,036]

Lalor is the wild card. Big body and talented.
