Where do you see Josh Dunkley going would he be available at say pick 22 the pick we would likely get for Aish off Carlton

Also very good overhead.I might be able to shed some light on setterfield for you knighter. He is a tall hybrid midfielder who is predominantly outside at the moment but will probably go into the middle with a bigger body and better skill set. His accumulation is good for an outside midfielder but i really liked what he did in the NZ vs AFL Academy game. He looked like Pendlebury with his body shape and his decision making.
So you think this draft is not as weak as people are banging on about? Makes sense as being a lions supporter I have had a natural eye on the top picks of Francis, Schache, & Weitering and know the rest of the lions draft will be dominated by academy picks. But recently I started getting busy looking at the rest of the top 20 type players and came across Bonner who looked pretty bloody good for a late first round type. Reminded me heaps of Duggan who I think proved to be one of the best of the last draft pre-injury

So happy Brisbane picked him up when everyone else overlooked him. The northern academies are going to really strengthen AFL up here, that's for sure.Andrews has had a very impressive first season. And he has improved in a really big way so he looks like a seriously good long term player for Brisbane and maybe even among the better picks from last years draft.
I'd slot Andrews into nine overall in my power rankings this year if he was draft eligible, based on what I've seen of him this year. That said if I reviewed last years draft I'd slot Andrews into the top 10 in my power rankings also.
In terms of where Andrews would go this year (forgetting the academy factor). Like my power rankings I'd assume he would fit somewhere into the top 10.
We would most likely take Keays and Hipwood in this draft rangeGreetings NM. With regards to Redden potentially leaving and say we get a pick anywhere from 10-20 what players do you think we may target as an replacement. Assuming we get just draft picks and not a player swap. Would Curnow be a chance to be there at say 15ish? Also keep in mind we are almost 100% going to take Schache.
yes but we will have Aish pick + Berger compo and our second rounder to pick our academy players. If Redden leaves we got a spare top 20 pick to use.We would most likely take Keays and Hipwood in this draft range
We don't decide what picks match what bids though the AFL would be the ones deciding on where the picks landyes but we will have Aish pick + Berger compo and our second rounder to pick our academy players. If Redden leaves we got a spare top 20 pick to use.
It will need to be amputated.Hi there Knightmare. I've got this weird discolouration on my trouser snake. It emits a strange odour and glows in the dark. Any thoughts what it might be?
Any opinion on the top ten kicks in this draft? Sydney desperately need elite foot skills.
Do you see Clayton Oliver moving up the order with his late season form?
how does schache compare at the same age to other recent high draft picks ie. boyd patton danahier mccartin hogan?

Also keep in mind we are almost 100% going to take Schache, Keays and probably Hipwood. We would also likely lose Aish for top 20 pick as well so we would spend Aish pick + 2nd rounder to secure the academy prospects.
Yeah I know but we will have a pick leftover.We don't decide what picks match what bids though the AFL would be the ones deciding on where the picks land
Jarrod Witts and Scott Lycett are those two I see as open to persuasion if it is made clear that they can take over as the number one ruckmen.
Then there are the likes of Tom Campbell and Will Minson. Gold Coast have surplus ruckmen and don't need both Nicholls and Smith. Kreuzer and Leuenberger are both gettable. A Jon Griffen or Mark Jamar could probably also be had.
So plenty of options out there in what I'd consider a buyers market, with more ruckmen available than teams needing ruckmen.
Hey KM, what are your thoughts on Jock Cornell. I like the look of him... Something about him reminds me a little of Robbie Gray.
Yeah I know but we will have a pick leftover.
1st and 2nd rounder are lock.
Aish pick top 20
Berger compo pick 20
Redden pick top 20
We only have 2 academy prospects rated in top 20 so that leaves us with 2 X top 20 picks leftover to use, assuming we take Schache and get ~pick 15 bids on both Keays and Hipwood.
What would Collingwood want for Witts? Pyke on his last legs, there are still question marks around Naismith and his fitness and Nankervis is earmarked as the Tippett replacement. Witts is also a Sydney boy.
Lycett as a make weight in a Jetta deal also looks quite tasty too.
The Swans must find a ruck this off-season
KM; are Harley Balic' foot skills elite?
But Lovell impressed after breaking the agility testing record held by Fremantle Docker Stephen Hill.
National recruiting manager Michael Agresta said it was an exceptional effort.
"Kieran Lovell's agility was outstanding, I think that puts him in the top percentile of the whole competition," he said.
Witts is from NSW.
The situation at Collingwood is Grundy looms as that long term number one ruckman. Darcy Moore as a key forward who can relieve in the ruck probably is best suited there. Then Mason Cox is playing some seriously good footy at VFL level and is developing at a phenomenal speed, so much so that he may even as soon as next season pass Witts by given he has shown not only the tap ruckwork but also forward of centre is starting to take his contested marks inside 50 and provide scoreboard impact.
Collingwood I anticipate have no intention of moving Witts this offseason and more probably he is someone who may for the right (and a big offer at that) become available. But probably not at the present time unless the deal is incredibly compelling, as going into next season the general assumption is Grundy and Witts share the ruck load with Moore and Cox still developing and Moore able and still to play and still mostly projected to play as a key forward.
I'd probably recommend Sydney failing the ability to sign a Kreuzer or Leuenberger as free agents go after Lycett this season in the scenario Lewis Jetta wants to return to WA, and Lycett should be open to a move given he has been continually underutilised throughout the season and played behind Callum Sinclair. I just don't see Collingwood giving Witts up.
If a trade between Collingwood and Sydney was to happen involving Witts to Sydney. Probably Sam Reid is that most logical piece to come back to Collingwood if he was traded with a pick or future pick that is to Collingwood's liking. Tom Mitchell in a similar trade of Mitchell and a pick for Witts may also be satisfactory in the scenario Collingwood are open to a trade. But it would have to be a very appealing trade, as Collingwood continue and rightly see Witts as part of the clubs future best 22.
Thanks for the in depth response. I see Witts being squeezed out in the not too distant future and Sydney have a gaping Witts sized hole that needs filling this off season - we can't wait any longer. I was just wondering how highly Collingwood rate him and if it was a possibility. The scenarios you put forward will be too rich for Sydney, no matter how desperate the need.
Jetta is effectively gone (to a WA team) and depending on the trade restrictions I really only see Sydney putting pick upgrade types on the table - Bird, Robinson, Lloyd, Perris, Marsh and probably Towers. None of that will interest Collingwood.... I think next year once Heeney and Mills start to settle we will have to look at a justification of numbers in midfield and that's when the trading might really kick in but we'll already have our ruck by then, so Witts doesn't look like he'll be coming home.
