Pick 4 - what's the right price?

Re: Pick 4 - what's the right price?

Is it correct that there are a LOT of F/S and academy kids next year? That could potentially make things make more sense if we think any first rounder after pick 5 or so is going to get pushed way out and there are lots of opportunities to do points trades

No idea how good any of them will be but sounds like a lot.

If there's half a dozen or so (2 Carlton, 1 Lions, 1 suns plus who knows hiw many others) then yeah next year's first round looking bleak after about the top 5).

Here it comes. Gold Coast trading pick No.4, 46, 51 and a future third-round selection for the Dogs’ picks 10, 17 and a future first-round pick.

OK.. I've been through, denial, anger and bargaining.

Now sadness and acceptance.

done deal

The Western Bulldogs have secured Gold Coast's pick 4. In exchange the Dogs gave up 10, 17, a future first and they get back 4, 46, 51 and a future third.

I don’t love it, but I’ll wait to get Adam Cooney and Kane Cornes’ opinions before I decide what I really think.

Twomey reckons a good deal for both clubs.

It could be English has already told them he will explore his free agency at the end of his contract and we don't intend to match it and as been said they would expecting high round one compo if North is anything to go by.

More likely Smith

Re: Pick 4 - what's the right price?

I don't like this trade.. I think we've severely over-paid.

I know nothing of Watson other than a few highlights, but if he's the target it's a lot to give up for a 170cm FP.

I'm trying to stay rational.

On the face of it we've just made the worst deal in the history of the AFL.

Looking forward to hearing an interview with Power. I'd like to hear the internal rationale behind this.

I think draft quality and depth, of both this year and next, are context that Power would have front of mind.

I don't know the depth, talk is it's not great this year? I'd rather 1 good player than 2 OK ones.

Re: Pick 4 - what's the right price?

I know we have paid a lot to secure pick 4 but this is largely in line with what Power mentioned on the Gettable podcast. I'm assuming we are chips in for Watson but who knows if we get someone like McKercher, Duursma or even Sanders when the dust settles.
We said we would be flexible with our options and we have likely done enough to secure Croft and maybe Lual on top of one of the top 4 players this year.
There is a bit more to play out here, let's hold our breath until we see the final position we take into the draft.
