In reality, they are getting their academy kids and nothing else. That is a good thing I would say.

He was also injured early remember? They had no choice but to play Pedersen/Frost.
-
You are making an argument that a shorter FA term will mean more players are available - you have to back that up for me to think you have thought that through. Why would there be more players available after 6 years - that are not after 8?
-
Well, the current coach and FD, of which Goodwin is a part of, likes him as evidenced by the fact that they keep playing him.
-
The new system allowed us to score pick 3 this year. I think you like the old system because you cannot understand the new one.
-
I ran your phantom through my spreadsheet and this leaves us with the 34th live pick and the 39th live pick. I assumed Sydney agreed with Dunkley as a FS and took him at 22. Another assumption I made was that the end of the draft was ND95 (after the 5th round). This left Sydney with Mills, Dunkley, ND69, ND82, ND89, ND91, ND92, ND93, and ND94 to fill their list.
-
No we don't. They are just installed at the pick that was nominated to illustrate their proper position in the draft class.
-
With the 5 academy players going in similar positions as my hyppthetical - we will have ND40 and ND44.
-
Anyone worthwhile out there? Andrew Moore from PA just got delisted FYI. Retirements, delistings and trades
-
These picks will end up being the 35th and 39th 'live' picks with earlier picks being burnt through by the Northern clubs 'paying' for their Academy kids.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM WEIDEMAN
rpfc replied to xman97's topic in Melbourne Demons
As a club, we shouldn't make decisions based on what a player may or may not do in 2 years time. Let's just fake some confidence in ourselves shall we? -
Mate, we have moved the pick ahead a year - if we finish bottom 4 that isn't great but the pick 'we missed out on' is already at the club and is a pick 3. There is your 'subsequent top 4 pick'...
-
If they don't have any picks left this year that have any points attached to them that will happen. BUT, the round of the nomination that sends them into deficit is the round that their deficit will be paid next year. So that will mean that their 1st rd pick in 2016 is only affected if a bid from Rd 1 sends them into deficit this year.
-
Ok, mate.2016 Rd 1 - if Dawes is fit he is playing for the Dees. But continue thinking that Goodwin doesn't like him with zero evidence.
-
Yeah, because they traded it away to mitigate the pain. Look at the sum of the parts and look beyond the sound bite: IN: Sinclair, Talia OUT: Jetta, Bird, ND14, They traded Bird and ND14 to give them enough points to help them get Mills and possibly Dunkley. Getting both will see them have no other picks in top 60.
-
Running out of spots for him - we only have 4 spots on the list for 3, 7, 46, and 50. Harmes has yet to be signed either for the PL or the 3rd year RL from what I have read. Not sure the state of Michie's contract - I had him down as OOC next season but his player sponsor said it was this season. Hunt would find it difficult to survive the next delist window. Lovett is up against to get a spot purely because we don't have many... Maybe a rookie spot?
-
Sydney will have picks 47, 60, 65, and 68 (611 points) and a parachute of 1728 points of deficit for remaining Academy players. GWS will have 51, 57, 58, and 59 (769) and the parachute. BL will have 38, 56, and 64 (760) and the parachute. Would be a bit difficult to get the lower ranked Academy players; the AFL has made it easier to get the lower rounds players by stipulating that the discount for Rd 2 players and onwards will be kept at 197 (the discount for Pick 18).
-
Ok, so when Syd, GWS, and the BL get picks kicked to the end of the draft it will be on ladder position so from my scenario: Bl has 4 picks at the end, GWS 5 and Sydney 6. ND98 BL ND99 GWS ND100 Syd ND101 BL ND102 GWS ND103 Syd ND104 BL Etc.
-
Yes, and what is funny is that the pick (29) we gave up to GC is the 28th live pick because most of the 'burnt' picks will be after that pick and before 46 and 50. I have to say - I don't know whether who thought about this or whether we even did - but excellent work by the FD.
-
Ok, so with the 'live' moving up of picks - this is going to be a draft that will just confuse the [censored] out of you... If Mills is nominated at 3, Hopper at 5, Kennedy at 11, Hipwood at 15 and Keays at 18 (please let me know if they are off in your opinion). Sydney will pay 33, 36, 37, 44 for Mills and 63. GWS will pay 10 and 34 for Hopper and 43. GWS will pay 40, 43, and 50 for Kennedy and 73. BL will pay 35 and 36 for Hipwood and 62. BL will pay 36 and 37 for Keays and 56. No, the above is not a typo, because the picks disappear and pick below move 'up' the draft - the Lions will most likely pay with the same picks for their Academy players... You are forgiven if I have lost you here but if this occurs or something similar - we will have the 35th and 39th 'live' picks in the draft.
-
Last year Sydney got the best midfielder in the draft for Pick 18, we had to pay Pick 2 and Pick 3 for similar talents. This year Sydney will do it again, but this time they will pay with 33, 36, 37, and 44 and while one might say that that is not making them pay enough - it has forced them out of the draft till Pick 54.
-
DL5 - explain what you are doing - this is bloody confusing stuff to footy fans. Can't assume everyone understands the premise (and effect) of academy bidding.
-
I don't think Dr thought that through but I would change it to 6 IF the players relinquished the trade veto.
-
I will have a look in a sec, but I will also try to get some clarity around what 'the end of the draft' means. Pick 74 (0 points) or Rd 8 the first round that isn't listed in the 'indicative draft order'... If Syd burns through 4 picks for Mills do they get picks 74-77 or 131-135?
