Very good question. And one that is hard to answer. But.... From what we have seen his kicking and decision making requires work but he has improved in those areas this year showing he is heading in the right direction. Marking is reasonably good, seems to have a tank that allows him to play four quarters and likes to hunt the football. Our midfield is young and he might find opportunities there in the future but we see him as a dangerous utility that will become an impact player on the ball in the position he plays. From all accounts he is a well liked young man with leadership material. Though unlikely at the highest level, he would be more than suitable as a vice captain in the future. Due to the shallow draft and the fact it is up in the year from the time we select we offer our first round pick of 23 a player we do not see being part of our future. If the club is not happy with this then maybe a swap of our seconds as well or possibly moving on one of our players to bring pick down to late teens. He would be another quality young player to move forward with. However we are talking about here Port too, and to them he is just as valuable as he will play midfield as well as forward occasionally. Plus the fact as so many on here have pointed out his family ties will do nothing but spurn the kid on the become even better. They know this as well. Cousin Ebert got another contract. Funny that. Ebert is worth anywhere between 14-22 especially in a compromised draft. We won't get that but that's what he is worth imo. |

Not directed to me, but I would offer our pick 23 in this draft. Probably happily downgrade a later (3rd round) pick too. If it was next year's draft though and our first rounder was, say pick 14, I wouldn't give that up. Pick 33 (or whatever our second rounder is), would be paying unders though. So, no doubt if it was next year we would be in the same position as Port. |

I agree with you Maddy on alot but i don't agree with win some, lose some. We draft well because we pour money into our departments. Last year we should have had pick one so Darling if anything evened that out but that was by the sheer luck no one else selected him. This has nothing to do with luck as the fact every year players are walking out on our club and we are not being adequately compensated. How many on here were doing cartwheels about Dalziell? I didn't want Staker to go, did you? and for Dalziell? When have we exactly won on a trade in our favour? When have we poached a player home and not got the deal done swiftly and with both parties happy? Why should we allow other clubs to treat us with such contempt. |

What are the chances of us picking up Adam Carter? what pick is he expected to go at? After reading through this thread, I really do hope we get him *crosses fingers* |

Could be done on Monday through a three way or a four way according to Neale Danniher and that they've made just minor progress in the last week. |

I'd probably have him between 5-10 in next years draft at this stage. |

Port Adelaide only offering picks 33. Absolutely pathetic. |
