Re: 2023 Draft Watch

How can you trade picks that aren't certain to be given????

Because AFL, that's why

Surely that isn't right......it can't be. I know the afel is a diabolical shambles but even that level of stupidity is beyond them right?......

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

North's compo package received - 3 end of first round picks, two next year.
Th two picks next year are to be reviewed but - get this - north can trade then this year.

Looks like North are in the box seat to trade up to pick 4 now.

Dominating position for them. It gives them plenty of currency to use but they've missed out on being able to pre-list Sanders haven't they?

How does this make sense?

The AFL reserves the right to review the 2024 draft selections at the end of next season, however the club will be able to use the picks in trades this year.

This is hilarious. Imagine blowing up your list and making careless decisions to then put your hand out for help. Then the afel thinks giving handouts is the answer to ensuring the club doesn't fold. It'll only encourage the same behaviour from other clubs. Absolute joke of an organisation. If North wins a flag from this will Gillon get up on the dias and lift the cup?

He's been added to their NGA, but normal rules apply. As they should.

Pick 4 might become pick 6 and they may grab him anyway

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

Absolutely ridiculous that they can trade picks which aren't guaranteed to even exist.

The AFL loves Clarkson.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

It's hard to care about the game anymore with decisions like this.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

Ross Lyon and Chris Scott have both vocally criticised the afl’s decision.

Seems no one at club land other than north is ok with this.

I know he has been mentioned on here, sure does have an impressive highlights package.

Thanks Axe Man.

Goodness me. Where do I sign. What?s the chances of us taking him considering our picks and what must be a high level of interest in him? Looks like he has skills for midfield as well as an excellent goal kick. Shades of Aker about his play.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

Code Sports has this speculation regarding our draft position

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Draft Picks before Trade Period: 10, 17, 37, 64, 67, 70

Rivals believe the Western Bulldogs are in the box seat to land Gold Coast’s prized top four pick, with pick 10, 17 and their future first round selection on the table. It makes sense for the Bulldogs given a bid for father-son key forward Jordan Croft, the son of Matthew, could come between their two first-round picks. Holding pick four could help them land a dynamic midfielder like Zane Duursma or Colby McKercher.
Alternatively, livewire forward Nick Watson would spice up their forward line and form a mouthwatering combination with Cody Weightman and talls Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Aaron Naughton. The Bulldogs' list isn't seriously lacking in one area but the club ranked last in the competition for defensive one-on-one wins and 14th for defensive half intercepts. It comes with a touch of irony that their Next Generation Academy talent Luamon Lual, who appears likely to attract a bid inside the top 40, would help address this need as a great one-on-one defender who is poised with ball-in-hand. But the Bulldogs have hit the jackpot in recent years with NGA top-pick Ugle-Hagan and father-son Sam Darcy.
