read this one on bf.
seems adelaide are interested in angus. seeing the club has said they arent really interested in trading for players but will be looking for pick upgrades what do people think of angus plus pick 50 to adelaide for their pick 40.

like one bf poster said i reckon it will get real interesting next week when all the picks are sorted and in order.

Jolly drafted at 19 years old,ditto Cox & Sandi. The others all drafted in early 20's apart from Stephenson who is probably 3rd in line at best for Geelong.

Not saying you can't draft a good ruckman from state leagues but most of them are playing at that level for a reason
i think because so few ruckmen are available each draft most of them end up on a list one way or another.
look at this draft theres only probably 3 maybe 4 ruckmen close to 200cm who will be taken in the top 60 odd. from there watch how many get rookied.

i think so many good ruckmen are found in the rookie draft because the majority are taken there ot very late in the nd.. not a lot end up in state leagues unaligned to a afl club.. only a theory and i could be totally wrong.

yesssss, mod created pyramid.  :lol I also agree Graham & 50 for 40 is a fair deal. In fact Graham & 50 for 59 is probably fairer.  ;D

Just putting it our there ....

The Big O at Geelong? He'll now be behind West and McIntosh at the Cattery. Would he be a better option than Gus and Derickx?

Reckon the Big O will get de-listed by the Cats now

Would certainly look at him as a mature age rookie, nothing more though

Are you serious?
I would look at him to do cover versions of Roy Orbison music and that is strictly it.
To be honest he's not even good enough for that, make it Travelling Wilberrys

Yeah

Mature age rookie only, would play VFL only and he is a very good VFL player BTW. Which means he could fill one of the spots on our VFL list when we field our own VFL side in 2014. Have to minimum number of VFL listed only players.

No to the big O. Not good enough.
Cats had a lot of trouble replacing Ottens this season.

x 2 if the price isn't too steep.  Plenty of upside in Hickey and can be our 'project ruckman'.  Still need another more mature body to help Ivan though.
