Dogs Keen on Jack Martin in Mini Draft

Re: Dogs Keen on Jack Martin in Mini Draft

No joke, I emailed Jason McCartney with that suggestion a few months ago (with a few other suggestions) and to my surprise got a reply from him.

What was his reply to you?

Re: Dogs Keen on Jack Martin in Mini Draft

Yeah would be hard to argue against that really. Hasn't shown more than Everitt before his trade IMO.

Really? I was O/S in 2007 so didn't see Everitt's first few games, but since then I think he played a good game against Collingwood in 2008 and that was about it.

Grant has had an entire solid season, and multiple good games..........but getting a little off track, apologies.

In all honesty jeemak in 2007 Everitt looked a natural football, that had great skills, could move, could read the play. Perferct 3rd man up.

If possible he went backwards as soon as 2007 ended.

Re: Dogs Keen on Jack Martin in Mini Draft

Agree, I would be surprised if it happened. I rate Anderson around the 15 mark so effectively it's pick 5 & 6 for Martin, 15 and 9.

In place of the 9, I would think a prelisted player or a different pick from GWS (2nd round) seems more even.

Its not uneven if you break it down. If Martin was available this year, he would go 2-5 after Whitfield but in the same bracket as Toumpas, Viney, Grundy, O'Rourke. If we put Martin in next years draft, he is currently 4th after Boyd, Aish, McDonald. So let's average it out and say Martin is worth pick 4. I'll take your word for it that Anderson is worth 15 but I think that's a bit generous. So in summary:

OUT: 5, 6
IN: 4, 9, 15.

Sounds about right but it all depends on 2 things:
How you rate Anderson;
Whether McCartney/Dalrymple expect the player they want at 6 will still be there at 9.

Yeah, that's what I've read and heard so it's disappointing he didn't work out.

Good work Jack Viney putting added pressure on the Dees to pick him with pick 3.
He said if they do not pick him, he will make them pay for it.

Boy it certainly will be frosty round the Viney dinner table Monday night if GC nominate Viney at pick 2 and Melbourne don't oblige Jay with pick 3.

This is creative and proactive, and if we can secure a top shelf talent in Martin as well as another 1st round talent in Anderson, and still end up with a top 10 pick..then this will be a massive recruiting positive.

Anyone see the cartoon in this morning's paper where GCS try to draft Viney and Todd says, 'you can't. He's grounded.'

Where do you get 4th from? Martin was second best at the nationals as a 17 year old, only Whitfield was ahead of him by all accounts.

Thanks for that LongWait.

Great attitude this kid has which makes me more keen to get this mini draft deal sorted asap. I'm really excited at the prospect of seeing his kid in the red, white & blue.

Re: Dogs Keen on Jack Martin in Mini Draft

The more I think about the potential offer of Martin, Anderson and pick 9 for picks 5 and 6 I just think it's very generous in out favor.

If we can get it done it done or something close to it then it would be a great trade.

I just think that it will end up being Martin and pick 9 for picks 5 and 6 which would be pretty fair anyway.

I think that 5 & 6 for Martin, Anderson and 9 is definitely on by what Emma Quayle is saying. The other possibility is 5 and 6 for MD1, MD2 and Anderson.

GWS really wants 5 and 6 apparently - they will probably only use a max of 4 picks in the draft this year because of the pressure on their list numbers and they want those picks to be as low as possible. 5 and 6 effectively become 4 and 5 if Gold Coast nominates Viney at 2:00pm today.
