Normally l would say this thread is getting a little ahead of itself, but after the excitement generated by our selections this week, onwards and upwards!
I would urge Blitzers to DON1 a bit of a rest before the pile on with questions, and also read his answers the first time, so he doesn’t have to answer the same queries time and again.
Height as a mid.
plus im happy with
Jayden Davey, Wanganeen, Menzie, walla as small forwards
need to see who works etc.
If could throw all chips in on Harley Reid would be great, but if one of Weideman/Voss/Baldwin/Jones dont massively improve we might need to use our early pick on a KPF. or even trade for one
Understandable. Watson is pretty special though, I reckon. He doesn’t look like he has much vertical growth left, but his skill set is really good. Watching the videos of the champs with no preconceptions, he was the guy that had me searching to find out more. Only to find out he was 168 or so.
eaarly draft threads are discussions, it only becomes a ■■■■ fest when the rest of the forum realises the draft exists, which is about september every year
I was a fan of pulling the trigger on a move that would give us three first rounders in this draft, even at the expense of Tsatas or Phillipou, as I thought it would have given us a great deal of flexibility in our approach in what is shaping as a strong draft crop.
If the top end talent of the draft is incredibly deep then you could use all your good picks at the draft, secondly if there’s a player in the first 2 or 3 selections that you rate off the charts then you could potentially bundle stuff together to trade up, or thirdly it could unlock the ability to bring in an established star via trade.
Anyhow, on the plus side at least we’ll enter the 2023 off season with our full suite of picks in tact (more or less).
Yep, there is an argument that you sacrifice one draft to build a cache of picks at the next one.
The next draft you use one of those picks to build a cache of picks at the next one. etc.
Why? Because often teams are willing to give up more in the next draft for a pick in the current draft. It’s like a compounding investment strategy with a risk based on where teams finish.
