British XV's - 2015 Discussion Thread

as far as scoring goes i like as is i guess

i'm to biased to comment about the draft pick compensations

but if Giants get a priority pick in the top 3 they shouldn't get one at the end of round 1 like Steins and i think Dragons are

also about trading picks for players the trick is being willing to offer a pick higher then the player is worth sometimes it pays off sometimes it doesn't

Agree with this.

Let's look at attempting to try and trade #3 nat pick pick for a player. You are in essence attempting to sell a top 3 mid for the year's draft for a player that might not be a top 3 mid for their team. Would we trade pick 3 for a Harley Bennell or Tom Mitchell type? Definitely! But would the owner of a Harley Bennell or a Tom Mitchell be willing to trade the player for the pick? Very doubtful. I don't think either Tom Mitchell or Harley Bennell are in the top 3 mids for their respective teams yet getting that trade to occur would be very difficult.

Trying to gauge what value #3 nat draft pick has is almost impossible due that the kid is unproven. 

I think that it has already been stated that the priority pick would occur somewhere at the start of the round instead of the end of the first round. There wouldn't be 2 priority picks.

yeah so if you can get any super premos you still try and get a potential best xv player like GHS OR M Crouch someone that could be decent one day but less riskier then a rookie

Yep. It becomes a guess on a kid that might be a gun one day but not at the present or using the #3 nat pick on who you think is the 3rd best kid in the draft. I would much rather the latter and hope that we get the next Tom Mitchell or Harley Bennell with that selection.

really? i rather get someone i have seen at AFL level and think they will be good i should have pick 3/4 i would happily trade it for M Crouch or Dunstan or Aish etc instead of drafting

I really enjoy the draft. It gives me an interest when my website is having a break. I enjoy doing the research and watching the footage of the TAC and U18 Championships etc. But I do understand the thought process that you have as well. If the right kid was offered then no doubt I would consider the trade.

just a request for this year and next

can we get the next rounds threads up pretty early in the week or at least by Tuesday even if there is no info just a thread started

it's not cause i'm impatient is just cause i like posting my team early in case i have net issues etc

i was even thinking at the start of next year make all the threads with the fixtures and we can bump them once needed and you can do write ups if you like

and i do like the writeups you do and appreciate them

not having a go at you at all btw just an idea

Isn't this the last week before finals?

Isn't this the last week before finals?

think so

[Ringo]

Fair point KB and I usually try to get them up by Wednesday in the process of doing them atm.

And yes this is ;last week before the Premiership and Plate finals start

[Ringo]

Another quick item for discussion:

Last year the Premiership Finals were for positions 1 - 8 so just wondering whether the plate finals should also decide positions 9 - 16 or we just leave as ladder positions after home and away.

[kilbluff1985]

just leave it

most bottom 8 sides just want the season to end ASAP lol

Agreed i'm not a fan of bottom 8 comps.

Just like DT Americas... But we are doing a bottom 4 comp... Sooooooooooooooooooooo pointless.

[Rusty00]

Agree, leave the bottom 8 positions the same as they finish the H&A rounds.

[Ringo]

OK consensus seems to be leave the bottom 8 as is at conclusion of H & A but we will still run the plate competition as we have for the past 2 years.
