I like Jamie Elliott although with him and Linc McCarthy they play very similar roles.
I think Darcy Parish is still OOC this year so he'd be the one I'd be after, don't see him moving though.
Others OOC and worth a nibble- Mason Redman, Nakia Cockatoo, Jack Martin, Oskar Baker, Mabior Chol, Liam Baker, Darcy Cameron, Bailey Dale, Lukas Webb.
Anyone hear Hawks into ballenden ? They are searching for a forward
I read there is rumour we're losing a key forward to a Vic club.
I wouldn't be keen on losing Connor Ballenden, he is an elite around the ground kick for a big man and seems pretty reliable with his set shots as well, can play back forward and ruck.
The knock I have on him is that he seems a tad timid in the contest, marking/crashing packs, not quite as bad as Schache in that area of the game though.
The quicker we get to 13 wins the quicker Fagan & his team can look at giving guys like him a run. I'd love to see us "manage" a few players & get a look at some of the kids the Lions have been developing over the last 2 1/2 years.I wouldn't be keen on losing Connor Ballenden, he is an elite around the ground kick for a big man and seems pretty reliable with his set shots as well, can play back forward and ruck.

Been a bit of chat McStay to Hawks but I think they're into Patton insteadI read there is rumour we're losing a key forward to a Vic club.
Yer would be good but I don't think it will happen as purely a rest situation particularly when you have a bye the week before finals.The quicker we get to 13 wins the quicker Fagan & his team can look at giving guys like him a run.

Ha, I had the same thought today, but didn't think to include Allen as well.
I was thinking the Gold Coast pick for Jarrod Cameron. When you look at the small and medium forwards in this years draft, Cameron is worth the Gold Coast pick.

Where’s the squeeze on at small forward? We’ve taken to converting midfielders in to small forwards.But what do we need Jarrod for? We already have a squeeze on small forward. Midfield depth and wingers are our pressing needs.

Not sold on Parish, and not overwhelmed by the others either. Bradley Hill absolutely if we could prise him out of Freo. A grade talent now or off to the draft we go.

I reckon that's rolled out 4 out of every 5 drafts.As I’ve mentioned in the draft thread, it’s not looking like a good or deep draft this year, and I’m really not liking most of the kids projected around our first few picks.
Really? I thought it was the reverse.I reckon that's rolled out 4 out of every 5 drafts.
Every draft is both a super draft and a spud draft at various stages during the leadup to it.Really? I thought it was the reverse.
I distinctly remember super draft discussions for both 2016 and 2018.

If there is a touch and go injury though I'm sure they'll err on the side of caution.
I just can't fathom this thinking at all tbh. Of we won the next 3 and got to 13 I can't imagine we'd be tempting fate and saying job done. We'd be pushing for top 4 as hard as we could. I'd rather is push for more wins than is just playing a kid so they get a run.
Now of it's a legitimate injury or issue sure but otherwise no. You only need to look at melb this year to know there's no guarantee, and given its been over a decade since we play finals, when you get a chance to play finals you ring the neck out of it as hard as you can.
If we lose a young guy or two because of that so be it, happens to most teams who are up there.

As someone who is a keen observer of the draft I wait until I watch a number of games before identifying players of interest. This years games skill wise were a concern and yes, there are going to be some good players come out of this draft but the difference is that were not any players who stood out and set themselves apart. I haven’t heard any notion of it being either a super draft or spud draft in draft threads however have had these conversations with briztoon. The only person who to be careful to listen to is Sheahan, every player is a star!Every draft is both a super draft and a spud draft at various stages during the leadup to it.
Agree, this is a concern with next years crop and even though it shouldn’t be pegged yet you do like to see a couple of underage players stand out however there weren’t many if at all to be noted.Geez it's not a particularly good sign for next year's if thats the case given not a single under age player made AA
Schrödinger's Draft
Thre Draft is like a box of chocolates.... well you know the rest.I was initially against the idea of drafting boxes in which a draftee was either dead or alive, thinking it just another TV gimmick... but the thought of Carlton trading for GWS's unopened box after two years turned me around on it.
