The Wrap Up

[bulldogtragic]

Pick 18
Pick 26
Pick 50
Pick 75
Pick 76 - For Cloke.

2017:

Swap 3rd for North 3rd
Swap 4th for North 4th
Swap 4th (from North) for St Kilda 5th (potential 20 pick downgrade or more)
- So 1st, 2nd, 3rd (North) & 5th (St Kilda)

If we want to use 75 this year, we need to find another delisting.

Yep, fixed.

Re: The Wrap Up

Happy with that. Like having pick 18 and 26.
Cloke provides a tall target in the forward line.
Losing Hamling hurt but really pleased we were able to turn that situation into a mid 20's pick.

3 live picks in the draft

Re: The Wrap Up

So with trade period finished, what are our list needs assuming whoever we draft will take a couple years to get going?

1. Ruck depth
2. Key defenders
3. Some speed and polish (although we looked fairly polished in the finals)

Hope JMac and the team have identified a mature aged ruck and mature aged key defender to go onto the rookie list.

Injuries to any combination of Boyd, Roughead, Campbell, Roberts and Adams - start to put us under some pressure.

Re: The Wrap Up

We just won a flag with a host of injuries throughout the season and very little contribution throughout the year from both Stevens and Hrovat. We get Adams, Crameri and Murphy back all next year fully fit - Wallis and Redders later in the season. We lose Hamling and gain Cloke, and we've improved our draft position both this year (2nd and 3rd round) and next year (3rd round).

Not a sexy trade period but far from a disaster either.

With Boyd, Murph and Morris set to retire at the end of next year or 2018, we need to sure up our back stocks

Re: The Wrap Up

Williams, R. Smith and Collins all developing in the meantime. Plus this year's draft and next year's trade period.

Re: The Wrap Up

Still want us to go best available for our first two picks, we'll end up with a genuine quick mid (a Galluchi type) and at 26 a smart running forward like a Hayward or a Ben Long.
Not much in the way of tall talent this draft, next year there is apparently.

Yep, it's about as far away from a disaster as you can get.

Just a solid trade period where we used our very limited uncontracted trade assets to improve our draft position.

I'm hoping Long lasts until 50.

I lean towards disappointing overall BUT the fact that King Midas has pick 18 and 26 to play with eases my concerns.
