Use pick 19 to draft Archer Reid (Gippsland Power) 203cms and 89kgs power forward.
Acquire Fleeton from GWS (delisted 21 year old 192cms and 89kgs) left-footed intercept defender prior to draft...
OFF- Bianco, Ruscoe, Draper, Adams, Murley and Tom Wilson
In- Fleeton, Schulz and three draftees plus one rookie...
(wouldn't be surprised at all if Ruscoe is redrafted as a rookie - if Murphy retires
Ruscoe re-rookied for Murphy if required makes sense. Hadn’t thought of that.
We’re no chance to get Schultz for #25 (rightly or wrongly). We also don’t have #25 yet in exchange for Adams. Could end up being a second rounder next year or their #33 given they will need something to deal for Grundy from Melbourne. What is interesting is that Grundy is more valuable than Adams to everyone except Melbourne. They will definitely want him gone so maybe Sydney low-ball. Melbourne might also let him go low if they end up getting a king’s ransom for Petty.

I like it but it falls down at pick 25 to Freo. They will want more and my gut says 25 will go to Melbourne and we will either be left with Taylor or take less of a pick.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.
bucking awesome wrote:I just dont get the hatred for the Pies in the media. Tom Morris on SEN said that pick 19 for Schultz isnt enough because he is contracted yet in the very same sentence he goes on to say pick 25 for Taylor Adams is too much because even though he is contracted he is older
Adams has delivered much much more than Schultz. Factoring in his age v output I would say pick 25 for Adams that then goes to Freo is about right. I could probably live with pick 19 going and keeping pick 25 from Sydney given after all the academy kids are picked up both picks will be lower - its unlikely there will be a superstar at wither or those picks in the draft.
Some balanced reporting might be nice though
Hatred? C'mon, that's a long bow to draw.
Stop for a moment and consider that maybe it's not about the value of a players pick in comparison, it's about the value of the player relative to the role the bidding Club requires to be filled.
Ever been to an auction? There's always surprises to what people are prepared to pay, if it matches their requirements.
FWIW, I won't be surprised if we trade our future first for Shultz.

The reality is, there’s not a lot of difference between # 25 and # 33 in this draft ( other than the obvious 8 spots earlier) This draft is a crap shoot after after about # 10 onwards and hardly a tall worth taking a punt on from about #20 onwards. Given the deal was done so quickly, I would think both clubs have bigger fish to fry than to have this still be undecided by early next week. Let’s be honest here, for a great leader and clubman, Collingwood couldn’t get the deal done quick enough. The win is in the salary cap relief, not a few spots either way in a very speculative draft.

Exactly I think the club rewarded his leadership and heart by getting it done quickly as a sign of respect
I’m hearing a little rumour we are trying to manufacture a way to get into the top #10 as we are very keen on Connor O’Sullivan
Geelong’s pick 7 is available apparently so it might be our pick #19 this year and a future first rounder and a possible pick exchange or 2 might see us land pick #7 with us looking to a replacement for Howe
Watch this space but I know the question is being asked behind closed doors
Once the news leaked about Schultz we lost some of our bargaining power in the Adams deal as the Swans knew that his spot in the team and salary for next season was now earmarked for Lachie.
While I would have preferred what is now pick 25 obviously as a further 8 names would have still been on the table to select from (should we retain the selection) pick 33 is the compromise offer of what most hoped for and the now pick 46 rejected by nearly all as woefully inadequate.
As long as end up with with Schultz I and I suspect most can live with it.
