Monfries off to Port Adelaide
For selection 48
Good luck to him.
Good luck to him.
Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
Good to just get it done. We upgrade our third round pick, another spot cleared.
Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
Are we actually going to get anything of value with pick #48? Or pretty much a lucky dip?
Good luck to Monfries, but I think it's best for both parties moving forward. Would have thought we might have snared a higher draft pick though. All my chick mates will be shattered he is gone! They love him, obviously for the wrong reasons lol

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
It's a bit of a lucky dip once you get down to 50-odd, I suppose. I wonder if we'd use that to on-trade for another deal.sconsey wrote:Are we actually going to get anything of value with pick #48? Or pretty much a lucky dip?

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
An extra kid on minimum wage.
now we have picks 32, 48 and 51.
(pick 10 being used on Daniher).
better than losing monfries for nothing.(we would have had Zero compo from the AFL given we purchased Goddard)

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
Anyone got any fairly good phantom drafts available? Im interested in having a look at what we may get with our picks ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Take it we wont be getting Ben Jacobs...Would have been better than pick 48?

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
I reckon a bit more info will come out after the draft combine. I always read Shifter Sheehan's top 30. Hopefully we snag a good kid from his list with #32.sconsey wrote:Anyone got any fairly good phantom drafts available? Im interested in having a look at what we may get with our picks

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
Given that he could have gone for nothing under Free Agency then I guess this is better than nothing. Reality is, Port have got a decent bargain there.
Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
I think we got Alex Browne with pick 48 in the 2010 draft.

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
Looking at that list, way toooooooooooooo much is made of the top ten picks, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much.
If we are not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat ?.
Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
And of the 26 #1 draft picks that have been, only 4 of them became premiership players (of course the more recent one's still have a chance as their careers will continue for some time).uptick wrote:Looking at that list, way toooooooooooooo much is made of the top ten picks, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much.
Drew Banfield, Michael Gardiner, Des Headland and Luke Hodge.
I wonder how other picks fair in regard to success i.e does a player picked around #15 have more success in their careers than a # 1 or 2. Interesting

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
Very interesting set of figures there BD.
As has already been said, too much is made of high draft picks when what is really needed is a team of astute talent spotters and a recruitment manager who will listen to them.
Also, a lot needs to be said about the concept of drafting/trading for specific positions. Sydney have obviously mastered that process.

Re: Monfries off to Port Adelaide
When teams get no 1 draft picks they are theoretically the worst team in the comp. So if you did a study you might find later picks are statistically more successful.

That's right, and that's what I would suspect.Sismis wrote:When teams get no 1 draft picks they are theoretically the worst team in the comp. So if you did a study you might find later picks are statistically more successful.
Now if you're a super talented teenager, how would you go about playing in the under age comps? If you knew your own ability to be one of the very best (in your age group), I reckon you would "tank it" so that you don't become the No.1 choice. I'd play at 70% and be good enough to be recognised as a first rounder, but not good enough to be chosen in the first 5 or so picks.
What incentive is there to be the best of the best? You'll only be rewarded by landing at the bottom dweller who may take decades to climb up to the top.
