Toumpas would have an inside/outside game ratio similar to Judd I would say
If that makes sense...
I think Wingard is a more contested player than Toumpas

Thanks for the kind words.
Player comparison is more who I expect them to become.
Style is more who their game is similar to without necessarily being that same level talent.
So if someone has a similar game to say Chris Judd I'd more likely consider it a style of play as few players and none in this draft through the midfield are that same level talent and likely at the end of their career won't have that same standing in the game.
Hey Knightmare, enjoy reading your posts on the drafts and so on and like the way you handle those that get stuck into you if they disagree with what you've said about something. Classy.
I think I saw it might have been you who said that if we happened to lose Goddard and received another first round DP as compo, that we might be prepared to trade both of our first round picks for one of the GWS mini draft picks. If that was you who suggested that might be the case (or even if not), do you also think it might be possibly worth trading one of them (if Goddard leaves and we don't get anyone else through free agency, which would downgrade our compo pick) for two slightly lower picks?
For example, if we lose Goddard and end up with picks 12 and 13, do you think we might be better off keeping 12 and perhaps trading pick 13 for say two picks in the 20's (like maybe 22 and 26)? I know Geelong have apparently had some relative success trading one higher pick for two lower picks in recent years and was wondering if that might be a good idea for us this year (and do you expect any team would be prepared to trade two picks in the 20's for one pick at 13/14 (I'm guessing Gold Coast would jump at something like that)?
hey knight love your work just a quick question
Julian Dobosz. made alot of noise predraft last year and from what i hear is still kicking bags every now and then. was even talked up at one point as a first rounder if i recall. any chance of him being picked up as a project player or even in the ND as a late pick?
Myles Bolger. yes or no?
Just from the Gipplsland v Sandringham Dragons game, here are a few notes.
Membrey will move up the ranks, he was absolutely dominant today. Tim kicked 8 to put Gippsland into the Granny. He is a natural goal kicker. I was really impressed with Ben Kearns from Gippsland, was one of the stand-outs for me. Matthew Barnes, Yilber Zijai and Christian Salem were all prominent for me. I was extremely disappointed in Josh Kelly, he accumulated the ball, but his disposal was horrendous. He barely hit a target all day. Nathan Freeman and Mitch Howes showed some really encouraging signs.
Cheers for all that and I realise we would only get the one compo pick if we lose Goddard, but we already have pick 12, so that would give us 12 and either 13, or 14 (depending on when Melbourne's 2nd Scully compo pick is).With the compensation in the scenario Goddard leaves it will only be the one 1st round compensation selection.
It is possible to trade the selection into two slightly lower selections and if there are two in that range that appeal maybe it is an option. Geelong have done it with success in recent years. Particular good was when they traded a pick in the 30s from memory to picks 40+42 = Allen Christensen and Nathan Vardy.
Moving from pick 13 to the twenties might be a bit of a slide but that idea is entirely possible and probably a good option if both the talents you want at 13 will be available at those two later 1st round selections you are looking at.
Clubs are always looking to upgrade selections and with few looking to move down it could be a successful move depending on the players you're keen on.

Just on my proposal, is there much of a difference between the quality of someone you expect to go at around pick 14 and those you expect will be available around the mid-20's?
McDonald (Next year - North Melbourne) - A class above with his ball use setting up players up the field. Ran hard and has above average pace. Few defenders are classier and the guy is a genuine top 5, possible top 3 selection next year.
Prowse - A number of scouts like his game but I didn't see it today. Got well beaten and just couldn't compete with Hendy at centre bounces.
Number 1. He would go top 5 this year.
"most people belive we should take a midfielder with our first pick but wouldn't a KPF first be better there's sure to be mids avilable later in the draft probley not as skillful but the KPF's most likely will be gone by the time we get to pick 23 as teams like Freo Collingwood (if Cloke goes )Sydney also want forwards".
KM,
You may have already answered this, but were would you see Martin and Hogan going if they were eligible for this years draft?
Menzel supposedly doing another knee today, pretty much guarenteed he will slide?
Went off, had knee iced up. Looked badCan you provide a link?
Disappointing if true.
Knee or not the guy should still be a 1st rounder.
He shouldn't have taken that kickHe still had the set shot. So that should rule out an Acl shouldnt it? unless he did further damage while kicking

Knightmare, Crouch had a top game playing for Westies today, I know you've most probably covered this about 20 times by now, but where would he go in this years draft?
Menzel would surely have to slide given he and his brothers bad run with injuries, but could see Brisbane picking him up with their final first round pick...seems too risky for a high pick
Hi Knightmare, thanks for the massive effort you put in with the draft! I saw that you currently have Jaksch at our first pick and the attributes you have of Jaksch in the player description remind me a lot of the attributes of Taylor Walker. I haven't seen Jaksch play at all and was wondering if you think there is a lot of similarities between the two and what would the main differences be?
