Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Stuffed if I know who'd be interested in a pick that late. Then again, Carlton/Sydney/Gold Coast did a pick swap yesterday involving picks in that range, so anything is possible.
And recruiters/scouts who actually watch these kids for 2-3 years. Can absolutely guarantee you that not all recruiters have JUH as their number one, and Riley is in the conversation for number one amongst clubs outside of the Crows. There is no bias or delusion here because he’s from SA, 200 cm key forwards with his agility and ability to ruck don’t grow on trees. Also has trained with Port last year and obviously played well at sanfl level for someone his age this year.

How so ?
What do you mean by "minimum replacements"? By definition, the draft has as many rounds & selections as there are senior list vacancies in the entire competiton. It doesn't stop until every club has either filled every senior list vacancy or passed (choosing not to fill them all). If one club has 11 senior list vacancies, then the draft could very well go to round 11 - though most teams would be finished by the end of round 3.
Ok..since you have it in for Thilthorpe in a very big way and don't rate the guy at all, how about if he slips to our pick 9, you PM me details of where I can send a bottle of Penfolds RWT
My guess is that we won't want to max out the senior list i.e. we'll go for 37, which means 4 vacancies currently. Assuming we want 4 picks + we have to assume Borlase will need to be matched, that means at least one player moved to the rookie list - and possibly only one.
Talk from Melbourne Cox and Perkins are racing up draft calculations, and I don't see the others like Hollands, Phillips, DGB slipping.
Kruezer never had a sustained run of games, 2017 his best season where he was a dominant ruckman
That assumes we fill the list completely (i.e. max out at 44 players). We may opt to leave 1-2 positions open, with an eye to the mid-season drafts.
Don't think Thilthorpe gets past SYD .....they do like recruiting from Sth Aust
I understand that, what I mean is - their fifth pick is currently #71, so if they took e.g. 8 players in the draft, they'd be taking 4 of them at #71 or later. But yes, I also understand that #71 (and the later picks) will probably come in a bit, and there won't be a full 18-pick gap between that and their later picks. One way or another, maybe North will be the last club standing and will have several picks in a row at the end of the draft. Just interested to see how it pans out, it looks like an unusual situation.
Seriously underrated on this board, obviously these people never saw him before his shocking run of injuries intervened, great courage to battle through them and still play some really good AFL football. Another like Trent "potential" that we never saw what they were truly capable of had it not been for their dreaded injuries that wrecked their careers.
Kruezer was a barometer for CARL ....he was that important
even longer than that actually. they wouldnt just meet up with them once.
40 will end up around 32 after all the picks are used to match the bid. That's inside the 2nd round!
Maybe... maybe not. We'll see in 2 weeks time.
Agree he was hit by a lot of injuries, but I'd take Cyril Rioli and Patrick Dangerfield over Kruezer at his best for pick 1.
You would with hindsight but I guarantee you would not have on that draft night.
I'm not sure that's true with rookies, is it?
