2015 Draft Watch

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

Not quite, they must match the points that another club might bid.

The picks have a sliding value,
Pick 1 is 3,000 points
Pick 2 is 2,517 points
Pick 3 is 2,234 points

etc, etc

If someone offered pick 3 for Hipwood, then Brisbane must match 2,234 points to secure him.

Wow. Pick one is worth trading for just to get the bonus points.

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

It all Becomes irrelevant if we trade our first pick like last year, are their any whispers we might trade it again ?

Yep, for Carlisle.

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

Yep, for Carlisle.

Is Carlisle worth pick one? Didn't we only give a second rounder for Crameri?

It's a tough one and I guess it depends on how desparate we are for him.

Pick 12 probs a bit too much and pick 30+ is just not enough.

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

They get a discount for academy player (something like 30%) so they have to match the bid then have a discount applied(as above they'd need to find 2,234 - 670 = 1,564).

Great point. Thanks

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

I think there are a few Tassie boys this year that might be worth a look at and it you interested in a real smokey to keep track of this year it might be Stuart Donnelly. Elite pace is his real strength and he has had a very good season for the Tigers. 20 years old.

Still, an 18yo ruckman might not be the priority, or they might not rate the player. Don't see many ruckmen drafted at all these days, let alone first round

Anyone seen anything of Hipwood?

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

Starting to shape as a very interesting draft, with lots of players who tick a few boxes but seemingly not quite as much depth of players with very well rounded games and most boxes ticked to an extent.

I think it's a good year to downgrade our first selection if that means we end up with a player we want via trade, but I'd still like to walk away with a couple of selections inside the first 30 to ensure we can grab the players we want in that range.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how we approach the rookie draft too this year, given the number of players who look like great development prospects.

What about our first and third for Carlisle and their second ???

Impressive article on Darcy Macpherson. Saying all the right things. Seems a more serious type than his larrikin father.

A bit disappointed at the attention, hoping he'll sneak through to the 4th round.

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

Great final today so far. Stevenson trying to be a Cam McCarthy look alike.

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

He has definitely done a good job moving up the draft order has Stephenson

He can't be drafted for 2 more years. Not this year or next.

Re: 2015 Draft Watch

TT what do you know about Steven Slimming? I have just spent three days at a conference and his dad really talked him up. He is not eligible to be drafted till 2016

Never heard of him. Presumably he's never heard of me either . What club is he aligned to?

Playing for the U17 Allies on GF day - number 4, look out for him.

Also he has been selected for NAB AFL ACADEMY – SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MEMBER .
