Who we are selecting with our first pick?
- Thread starter zippadeee
- Start date
It looks as though we are hoping someone we highly rate (best available, ideally KPP) slips through to our first pick, & if not we’ll trade the pick for some better currency next year. Reading between the lines it looks like there’s not a huge amount of players we rate or view many as speculative given the situation. We are in no rush to improve short term so now is a great opportunity to solidify our long term hand at the draft table.
I feel like it’s appearing a mid could slip through & if not we’ll trade down & take two players in the 30-40 zone & then a later bid on MRJ. Pretty sure we’ll land one mid & one KPP + MRJ.
If we trade that first pick out, I see us ideally packaging that with one of our 2nd or 3rd rounders next year to move up a round. Assuming we can package with the 2nd rounder from the saints next year to upgrade to 1st round. Probably a little bullish here...
This would leave us with MRJ, + mid & KPP
+ next years draft haul of two 1st rounders, a 2nd rounder, & two 3rd rounders. Where I think we ideally target
1 inside mid
1 outside mid/flanker
1 KPD
1 KPF
1 needs based pick on how our current crop progresses
I can see something like this coming to fruition & TBH I’d be pretty happy with this given we don’t have any urgent needs for next year
Of course I’d also be happy taking a slider if it happens...

Coverage starts on the site that shall not be named at 6:30pm on Wednesday - Presumably some sort of stream.
I'm looking forward to opening our
And they are all gone from the club including Phillips , and Langdon.
They've still got Phil In though.
How good will it be to watch them crash down the ladder.
Their fans will lose it dead set.
Hopefully we can go a long ways towards facilitating that by belting them when we play them.
They shouldnt have played finals this year save for Melbourne and The Giants both shitting the bed losing to the Crows..
They are goiig to be hard pressed to hold off the Blues and the GoDeez next season as they push for that spot in the 8,as for the Giants well who knows, Hogan, Finlayson, Himmelberg, Greene and Riccardi still gives them a potent front half, just not as imposing as it is with Cameron.
They still have enough quality to make the finals.
Young Riccardi and Himmelberg are the ones to lead the Sherbies forward, Hogan might play an important role as a foil.

Hopefully young Jnr has a positive effect of getting Daniel focused and back on track this season coming.
Daniel and Stackie are 2 blokes that if return to true form and fitness can make a massive difference to the side in 2021.
What happens if they bid for him at pick 9, can we still get him.
What happens to pick 17 and 36??
There’s an easy way around this ... bid on Eyre or Brand their two academy players (who we are supposed to be interested in anyway) at 36. If Essendon match that will use up their 44 so they won’t have a pick until after our 3rd. If they don’t match we get a young KPP with the potential to both be a good player and annoy Essendon fans for the next decade.
Add to this the fact that in 2016 they thought they were going to get Shai Bolton. We’d been heavily linked with Elliot Himmelberg, so they thought Shai would slide through to them. Instead we took Shai with the pick before theirs and they chose Sam McLarty who didn’t play a single game for them...
