two picks inside top 20 guaranteed

Post: # 1371253Post samuraisaint »

we get pick 3 done!
Adelaide have lost their first two draft picks.
takes us to what 19.
Plus Essendon will probably lose their first couple of draft picks.
Takes us to 18 by my reckoning
picks 3 and 18, maybe trade for one more and whammo, could be three picks inside top 18!

Hopefully those in the know do the right thang.

Pick 3 then pick 21 would be the natural order.

Exclude Essendon and Adelaide and we get pick 19 not 18.

Add Melbourne possible priority and we get pick 19 or 20.

then we have trades and then we have etc etc....

Melbourne shouldn't be given any extra picks… they'll just end up at Collingwood if last year is anything to go by.


They'll probably trade pick 2 for Blair & pick 18 for Toovey, cause they're proven premiership players like Dawes and Wellingham… :roll:

Eddy Betts is on the market. What do you think?

I'm prepared to give up or pick 3 for Betts but they will have to throw in a really good player like Armfield or Hampson as well.

We want one now.

But a team that has tanked to get a priority pick, then thrown it down the toilet probably doesn't deserve another one so soon, they would have had picks taken away if they weren't so bad already.

Thats true but it also shows the AFL are at least trying in some way of evening up the competition which will certainly need in the next 2 years. We are in a world of pain over the next few years.

You reckon they'll get one before the first round?

I was thinking end of first round if anything… that is potentially a very good player and gives them 3 inside the top 20

Ill be very happy with 2 guys in the top 20 - Pick 3 should be fairly easy - Pick 19 or whatever we get will be where Elshaugh really earns his money! If we get them both right it will make a massive difference.

Then If Markworth and Spencer come on like we ll hope- we will be in a good place in 3 years.

Unfortunately GWS have activated one of their priority picks to be taken mid 1st round (pick 10), and Gold Coast have as well to be taken end of 1st round. Even with Adelaide and Essendon out of contention our 2nd pick will be 21, so two picks in first 21. 21 still better than any pick we have had since Armo and Ben.

Gold Coast and GWS the only teams who have actived priority picks this year. Geelong does not have one for this draft.

Why doesn't the AFL just give them a cup each.

Why not? He's a small forward who can't play as a mid and he ticks all of Dragit's other boxes as well.

Don't forget we'd also get Hampson or someone like Armfield.

If we do that, then they may as well board the joint up and close it down.

If that Pick 3 goes anywhere, unless it's for Jager O'Meara, then the club should deadset close it's doors.
