Heard from a solid source that SOS will spring the first surprise of the draft by passing at Pick 1 
Only if they're no good.
Dunno about bottom 4. Bottom 6 maybe, bottom 8 almost certainly, and bottom 10 without a doubt. Good deal for GWS.
Clubs should be able to trade any contracted player. That would redress the balance, but they'd have to agree to earlier access to free agency, say 6/8 instead of 8/10, and with it being portable.
What happens if a bid on Quaynor comes early enough for Collingwood to go into deficit in the first round next year? Is this yet another loophole that will be rorted because of the AFL's lack of foresight?

Let them be honest. As long as they don't say that they'd refuse to go to a club(s) it's fine.
You blokes will just be sitting there cheering every time they read out someone other than Blakely surely? Same with North and Thomas.
Very likely they get inside the first 8 imo

Doesn't really mean much. Juniors often do rehab/train with AFL teams. A couple of years back Dunkley was doing rehab and played VFL games with Richmond, while supposedly in the Sydney academy (although he lived in Melbourne and thus Richmond was more convenient...) and yet he ended up at the Bulldogs.
I'm sure there are rules around it (medical reports must be shared, etc), and yes, there would be some advantage to the hosting team getting to know his personality, and how he relates to the people at the club, (call it payback for the time/effort/resources they contribute), but it's nothing conclusive.
Someone will be the bad guy. I think it will be Gold Coast at 6 or Adelaide.Pretty much, and I will be nervous as hell that St Kilda are going to be dicks and bid on Blakey at pick 4
I just hope that Blakey can get to pick 7 without a bid because of that happens we get to keep pick 38. If he goes before pick 7 then he is going to cost pick 26, 31 and 38 (or something like that) rather than just 26 and 31.

We have taken the last 2 SA captains.

After the favour they did by taking Hannebry? No chance they will. I reckon they discussed this also.Pretty much, and I will be nervous as hell that St Kilda are going to be dicks and bid on Blakey at pick 4

I don't get why Adelaide etc. are labelled campaigners for bidding. If they want the kid then, they should definitely bid! And if they are just keeping the academy swindlers honest then that's good too... if a club is coughing up junk picks for top 20 talent, boo ******* hoo.
Seems to me like James Gallagher is briefing a fair few journo's with "potential" favourable swaps for StKilda involving 4.
Seems pretty apparent that they really want a mid/runner or two as that is what is really needed but can't overlook Max if they are left with Pick 4.
It is a good, if not slightly frustrating, position to be in. Not saying i wouldn't be doing the same if i was Gallagher.

The Saints and Dogs are a good Fit for a King!

I'm not sure. I'd guess it would involve 7 for 11 and 19 with maybe other stuff.
And then I guess Richmond would need to give up 17 and a future first to get 10 off Port assuming Smith is still there?

It's one of the best with its impartial analysis.

He said he would love to be at St. Kilda because he barracks for them. And nothing wrong with the word RATHER. Every single draftee would rather stay in the state they live in or play for the club they grew up barracking, anyone who says otherwise is full of it. Also both Kings have also both said they'd be okay with playing where ever they get picked up. You're reading way to much into trivial comments. Not like they flat out said they refuse to. And they can say whatever they like, they are not bound to the AFL or any rules until pen is on paper. Besides its likely both were also asked directly about the Saints and Bulldogs in their interview as both players have been heavily linked to both teams by many draft observers.
