Wow didn't see him dropping that far. Moore bid was a no brainer, one of the top KPF in the draft we'd have been stupid not to want him.

He wasn't nominated by the Dogs for the rookie draft, so it's basically first in, first served, but the club's definitely interested if he's available at our pick. Dalrymple spoke about it on Trade Radio earlier today.Great news on Cordy.
Is there any word on whether we will take Foster with a Rookie pick?
Do we get preference on him in the Rookie draft if someone else wants him?
Yeah, I kinda wish we had nominated him for the rookie draft (like another club did for a different player) given that we will surely have some rookie spots available.He wasn't nominated by the Dogs for the rookie draft, so it's basically first in, first served, but the club's definitely interested if he's available at our pick.

Agreed. We'll definitely have at least one available with Jong being upgraded, and with Jones leaving, I can see Redpath getting an upgrade, too.Yeah, I kinda wish we had nominated him for the rookie draft (like another club did for a different player) given that we will surely have some rookie spots available.

The club wants to retain Greenwood as a rookie, and who knows with Austin.
We can keep him, but only if we re-draft him through the rookie draft. Another club could swoop, or he could choose to look elsewhere.Just on Greenwood....I thought he was in his 3rd year and couldn't remain on the list? I hope we can keep him, I like him.
Wrong Greenwood, Mate.Bemused as to the complaints regarding getting a bloke who was a vote of a BnF in a top 4 team. Moves griff out of the middle onto a wing where he will have more space to run and carry.

Someone said in KM's phantom draft thread that Foster pulled out of the state screenings due to soreness. Suggested there may be a sneakier reason.Yeah not nominating him makes me think we may overlook him which will be a shame.
Well Dal did say we will take him in the rookie draft if still available.
Yeah, the advantage of it being before Trade Week is that other clubs don't want to harm the impact of their flexibility in trade negotiations and therefore don't bid.I reckon a lot of teams held onto their picks cos they want to use them in trades. Eg for Geelong, Cordy at 31 might've been a good deal but not worth missing out on mitch clark, or having to use their first rounder to trade for him because they've got no second.
Cordy fell into the category of pretty good but not so good that you don't want to see what else your picks might get.
It's not really that for Wallis. He's always been a brilliant contested ball winner and can rack the disposals up with ease, he's just a very average disposer of the ball. He needs to improve his disposal, get on the outside a bit more and weigh up his options a little better; they're the areas that have seen him dropped at various stages.Do you guys think that 2015 is the year for Wallis?
He has shown glimpses for since 2012, but has never really become a consistent ball winner.

He'll keep developing, but likely never becomes a star. He's already a very, very valuable cog in our midfield, though.
