Interesting. Durdin had really gone off our radar based on rumours that either (a) freo are keen on him and (b) we've cooled on him. Perhaps all this talk linking us to Langford was red herring stuff?

If we get wright or lever were going midfielder at 35.
Brayden Maynard
Dean Gore
Connor Menadue
Touk Miller
Dillon Vioja Rainbow
Peter Bampton
Oscar Mcdonald
Alex Neal Bullen
Id say most of these blokes will be snapped up between 24 - 34 leaving our pick at 35 a little like our pick 14. Itl come down to other clubs and what their preference is, Maynard, Neal Bullen and Miller have solid games and could become really good players. In my opinion Vioja Rainbow and Menadue will be gone by 35. Both could be great wingers/flankers.

I also like Harrison Wigg for 35

If anyone had said we would get Durdin 3 months ago ...this board would have been off their head with excitement

It's all about expectations

Would be amazed if we took another sub 180cm player in this draft .......too many smalls on the list already

Need more 190 cm plus players

Where did Lever go?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I like his kick

yes a great kick .....but not the reason to recruit a player unless we have a real need ......Brown & Jaensch good kicks

I don't have a problem with Durdin..... Yet. There's no reason he can't play KPP.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Where did Lever go?

Freo at #13

 

[Glenny83]

Dream Picks - #14 Cockatoo, #35 O McDonald, #43 R McKenzie, #59 Daniel

He's a lefty. Changes the predictability of our transition out of defence or through link play.

 

[mickfaxis]

We've moved up the the draft order.

14, 35, 43, 58

And we didn't even trade with Geelong to do it!!

 

[lunacy]

Curveball? Could this change everything, or are Melbourne still gonna take Brayshaw after Petracca?

Such intrigue.

Crap if true they might look at Lever for pick 3 to bring in 1 tall with their 2 picks. There has been some talk all along that Lever could
be a chance at pick 3.

So does playing Grigg off HB

Wiggs an interesting one,i believe hel still be there at 43 but someone like hawthorn will probably want him. Left footer, big kick, fits their bill. If hes there at 43 could be a good pick up.

How did we move up a spot?

 

[Hank93]

How did we move up a spot?

With rookie promotions being scrapped from the draft, I assume there was a rookie promotion planned for one club between our 3rd and 4th picks.

 

[FR0GGY]

Maybe tried the old tap on the shoulder trick?

I'd draft Vioja Rainbow on his name alone.

I like your work. I'm just working on the lefty brigade a fair bit as it was mentioned by Philthy in his appointment.
Making our patterns of moving the ball less predictable appeals to me and I think it is a key in any top eight side that you are better if you are keeping your opposition guessing. Of coarse you don't just pick left for the sake of it. You are going to go the best that suits at your pick.

 

[Paladin]

When do the rookies go through?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Reece McKenzie went pick 34 .......bloody Freo is destroying our draft with Currently Lever & McKenzie

PICK 35 | @Adelaide_FC (@Alex_Takle), Ed LANGDON, @Sandy_Dragons. #BFGNDraft

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I have no idea where this draft will head but I would be happy with any of this:

#14: Lever/Cockatoo/Goddard/Langford
#35: McKenzie/McDonald/Vioja Rainbow
#42: Wigg/Ramsey/Gore
#59: Daniel/Markov

Btw, is Langford related to Will?
