2019 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[707]

From the AFL website

GREATER Western Sydney is eyeing Melbourne's No.2 draft pick as it tries to trade in a selection before another club bids on the Giants' Academy hotshot Tom Green. Industry sources believe Adelaide (pick three) or Sydney (four) is certain to place a bid on Green, meaning the Demons' selection would be required to avoid that scenario.

I like it!

Be interesting to see the pick swaps unfold as clubs shuffle picks to get the best advantage. GWS will be trading out yet again to stock up on some picks to pay for Green if they trade out their pick 11 & 13 (currently) for pick 2 from Melbourne.

Wouldn't be surprised to see us either package up later picks to move up this year or convert them into 2020 picks.

Morning all

Does anyone have the link for draft pick value table ?

Ie what is pick 4 worth vs pick 11 and pick 13 ?

I’d love to start seeing our pts value total etc ?

Agree - if we only need 3 picks total?

could we bundle up 40,50,57,58,76 for say pick 20 or 25 ?

Then have picks 4,20,23 ?

SYD 4 Sydney Swans
SYD 23 Sydney Swans
SYD 40 Sydney Swans
SYD 50 Sydney Swans
SYD 57 Sydney Swans
SYD 58 Sydney Swans
SYD 76 Sydney Swans

Clarke is a keeper, bigger body mid who needs to clean up disposal
More than held his own as a defensive mid, id say he is contracted too as i doubt he left for one year.
Could end up being one of the inside mids we are after
NEAFL is second rate but no one else grabbed it 47times playing there

He could possibly end up an inside mid, but all the evidence suggests otherwise.
Clarke's best games have been against outside mids (starting with Higgins in round #14), NOT inside mids.
Also the weakest part of his game is handballing under pressure - not a weakness to have when playing on the inside.
Probably why the MC always goes to George if the want someone to sit on one of the oppositions inside mids.

Betts heading back to Carlton apparently. That means they've given up on chasing Papley ????

[Ruck'n'Roll]

We can't draft Errol Gulden until after next year, is that correct?

Yes, too young for this draft.

It will be interesting to see how he goes on Saturday against Sydney Uni. Will he spend much time in the midfield? Will he further his reputation?

[dejavoodoo44]

I'm also wondering how much attention our recruiters will be paying to Jake Bartholomaeus? A former academy member, who in his second season at Sydney Uni, won the NEAFL MVP. Might earn himself a rookie list spot, if he does really well?

[Auntie.Gerald]

Thanks for that

So pick 4 = approx picks 17 and 18 combined or 16 and 19 combined etc

Hmmmmm

Or if we needed picks 11 and 13 for some important trades and we needed to split our pick 4

We would have to trade with GWS and if they need to trade up to say our pick 4 then we would need to give up pick 4, 40, 58 in exchange for pick 11 and 13 from them

[waswan]

GWS in a tricky spot.
At best they get Green and next pick is 3rd round.
I know they bid on Blakey and we bid on someone the year bwfore i think but i doubt we will bid on him at 4.
We need to be somewhat nice for next years 2 academy picks
If you are going to pick someone at 4 you dont make out like you wanted someone else first

Understand where your coming from but he is 22 23 and to get it 47 times means you had to be playing inside a bit. Harry Cs best footy was as a tagger, 7 yrs later he is still on the list

And Tippa is staying at the Bombers

Buddy brilliant: After one 'bad' year, Sydney's rebuild is already complete An anlysis of our list management that rates the Swans highly.

Thanks Aaron, great read and analysis. Future is definitely looking up.
