Here's hoping we have a top notch draft strategy to make the most of all situations like this that may arise.
Been watching FOS highlights and I don't get how people see Heeney/Cotchin.
He is a receiver, knows how to find space. His highlights are like 90% outside cause that's where his strengths are. He plays an inside mid role but he doesn't actually do that much work inside.
Not saying that as a knock cause I think this is the type of player we need the most. But I would say he's more Whitfield/Gulden type than those big inside bulls like Cotchin etc. I reckon he could be more of a flanker in his first few years.
Ok I’ll say it again … the deal is done for 6 & 12. Take it to the bank
Hope you're right - all of my non-Tiger friends think that is actually fair too so here's hoping
I know you keep saying it but others want us to accept 6 & 20 as a great deal
Its unders should be 6 & 12
Does a player just need to wake up and say 'I want to go to Brisbane'
And the club is obligated to do the deal?
Say if the club dosent want him.
Noble is no better then Rory Atkins.
If Collingwood get anything under 25 for Noble. GC need to be thrown out of the competition
Well that'd be a WOFTAM
And this would be an absolute total WOFTAM n complete waste of *smile* speculating time.
From my perspective, I'd happily completely ignore Brisvegas 's first pick at 17 or 18. Work the deals we need to with our excess picks as sweeteners for any of the trading we might need with Sausage, Bakes n $hai then bid the hell out of pick 1 on Ashcroft. Then let Brisvegas sweat on how the *smile* they're going to amass enough points to match the bid, plus try n find points for Marshall. Why the *smile* would it be incumbent upon us to help Brisvegas get first dibs at the best kid in the draft and possibly constipate our own ability to finalise our deals????
If, might be a big if. But if they can't find the points to match for Ashcroft at pick 1 they can think about paying a premium for him after he'shad 3 years in the system and he's worth triple what he might be worth now.
This is a good point, tigers pick Ashcroft with #1, Brisbane match, but kid says no I want to play for the tigers, what happens?
Does the player get the choice?
Still wouldn't give them anywhere near enough points without a massive donation from somewhere.
Hard to see how they can do it without trading their future first, for some reason they don’t appear to have planned for the points they needed this year.
It's a pick 17 or 18, not like it's some sort of mega premium early pick. A few hundred points advantage is one thing, a 700 or more bonus points advantage from both the trade and not bidding is ludicrous. Reckon I'm happy to see a side that's played in back to back Grannies pay full value for their F/S and academy prospects n wipe out their first pick in this years and next years drafts, or be forced to trade out players for the privilege.
I think you know what happens they underperform and moan and whinge for 12 months then you send them where they want to go for slightly more than you paid.
Yep. So Brisvegas need to do the work to match the bid, otherwise the kid goes to the drafting club n can be traded a few years later.
3 years is an awful long time to spend bitching n moaning and ruining your career on minimum shekels in the magoos.
Why would they underperform, moan and whinge if they're playing at the club of their choice?
If this is the truth from Ed Pascoe..we get
FOS
Lalor
Smith/Allen/Lindsay
Berry
Dattoli
Hannaford/Algar
Faull
Shanahan
Love it..what a haul.
4 mids...2 small forwards/mids..2 key forwards
A dream draft.
I would take that in an instant.
Probably too good to be true.
