Foxtel's coverage starts at 6.30pm and I'd say the draft itself will start at 7pm, like it did last year.Does anyone know what time the draft starts on Thursday night, Melbourne time?

Agree with you KM, that a couple of the top 20 (or at least the top 20 that most of us have identified on here) will have to slide to the Saints. Today I've come to that realisation, which is probably where you've been for a while now considering Duggan, Ahern, Marchbank and now Durdin have been sitting at pick 21/22 at some stage for the past month. Who it will be is anyone's guess really but I think it's definitely someone who we rate much higher.
I've also noticed you have Webb climbing up the order a bit, he is a favourite of mine so have kept an eye on his positioning in your updates. I guess that's due to the talk of some clubs with picks in the 30s being interested, or are you warming to him?
A lot of talk about Langford going to Adelaide, what's your take Knightmare?
Knight I love the look of Brayden Maynard would be thrilled if the pies get

Knightmare - earlier this year (in February) you had Billy Stretch at 16 in your draft power rankings, listed first under the heading, "Potentially high level footballers".
I notice that you now have him at 30 and in the group you call, "Capable contributors".
Since February, Stretch has made his senior debut in the SANFL, played a major role in SA's TAC Cup championship winning team, gained AA Under 18 honours, finished the season at Glenelg with a few high possession games (high 20s) and been selected as a father/son at Melbourne.
On that basis he did just about everything you would expect from him so how do you justify the substantial drop in his power rankings from 16 to 30?
Caleb marchbank would be the ideal replacement fir DEMPSTER if he slides to pick 21/22. Reads the play well, strong over head and can play that third tall in defenceHey Knight, there is talk on our board that Sean Dempster has said that this will be his last year, so who (one or more) do you see as being the most like him in this draft (that we might be able to get our hands on with picks 21/22 or 41, or in the RD). ie. able to potentially play tall, but especially medium and small, to be able to completely blanket the smaller or medium types defensively, but also be really good with the intercept marking (as Sean has become this past 2-3 years) and able to provide some drive, with penetrating disposal?
While none are coming to mind at the moment I imagine there have been others who have been able to carry around a lot of bulk and still be highly effective in midfield or running type roles. If worst comes to worst he has proven himself dominant enough forward to be able to be played there most of the time anyway though, perhaps with just short bursts in the midfield.
Nice to see you venture into the real world.Thanks for your contribution to the Port podcast Knightmare. Was great listening to you and missionpossible. Some terrific insights into so many players.
You've both given me even more confidence that Port can pick up some decent prospects with late picks.
Nice to see you venture into the real world.
You are my favourite delusional Port supporter, and I love your moderating. Thanks for everything. Especially the grammar help.Nice of you to care.

D Mckenzie is someone who can play on the smalls, and mediums - will struggle against the 3rd tall forward as he is only about the 183-4cm mark. should be available at 21/22 and possibly 41.Hey Knight, there is talk on our board that Sean Dempster has said that this will be his last year, so who (one or more) do you see as being the most like him in this draft (that we might be able to get our hands on with picks 21/22 or 41, or in the RD). ie. able to potentially play tall, but especially medium and small, to be able to completely blanket the smaller or medium types defensively, but also be really good with the intercept marking (as Sean has become this past 2-3 years) and able to provide some drive, with penetrating disposal?
Don't mean to go off topic but a fit Roberton could fill that void. Gilbert the other one if fitHey Knight, there is talk on our board that Sean Dempster has said that this will be his last year, so who (one or more) do you see as being the most like him in this draft (that we might be able to get our hands on with picks 21/22 or 41, or in the RD). ie. able to potentially play tall, but especially medium and small, to be able to completely blanket the smaller or medium types defensively, but also be really good with the intercept marking (as Sean has become this past 2-3 years) and able to provide some drive, with penetrating disposal?
