Poulter
Winder, but not inherently as a small forward
Kolar
Ford, but he might be available towards the end of the 3rd round, so we might be able to trade in for him
I would be shocked if Ford was available in the 3rd round

I thought I'd read somewhere that Ford had dropped in calculations. Don't recall why.
But then, you'd be more across this than I would.
Have heard similar rumours of him sliding, but I highly doubt would be into the 3rd round
See him in the 23-28 range

Endurance base is the concern, isn't it? Just like I was suggesting earlier this year when you brought up his name.
35-45 if it's below average for general/small forwards, 50+ if he was close to bringing up the rear in testing.

Doubt we get a second. Third at best, more likely a fourth.

No, we're better off backing our kids and development programs in rather than throwing away a top 10 pick after a few years in the system.
Fans always get excited about prospects in the lead up to the draft, in no way does that mean they're better prospects than LOB.

There's definitely going to be Vic players who slip through, but I'd be astounded if Ford got to our picks. Probably top 10 on talent, and teams are wary of another Robbie Gray situation unfolding.
If there's a player in this pool worth trading up for, based on our needs and potential upside, he is it.

In an ideal world, I'd have Willo on one wing and SPS on another, with him rotating through a HFF giving someone like Gibbons (our very own 2 time JJ Liston Trophy winner) more time in the guts.
Even if both Willo and SPS play in the midfield, we'd still have Weiters, Jones, Plow, Marchbank, Kemp, Newman, Saad, Doc and Williams all capable defenders, so I don't think we really need Wehr. A KPD, small forward and maybe a 3rd would definitely be the way to go.

My 2021 fully fit midfield:
M - Willo, Cripps, SPS
Fol - Walsh, Williams
I/C - Setters, Curnow
(Gibbons to rotate with SPS through the wing/on-ball)

I was thinking in normal terms. This year, the second round might end after pick 40. Endurance has long been the concern for him, especially those looking to turn him into a midfielder.
This might be all academic though, as Geelong may target him before our pick... thanks Gold Coast.

According to Teague's presser this arvo, a KPD is our main target in the draft, followed by a small forward and possibly some talent through the midfield.
Wow...who would have guessed?
It may not pan out that way.......and somehow it seems just a little odd he'd divulge this info.

He named a number of target positions, so it's not like he's revealing a certain player or type which we're into.
In terms of our needs being obvious yes, it is. However, not always what we can see from outside the 4 walls of the club, is what they have access to on the inside.
Rosman?

Isn't he more of a key forward? Teague seemed to believe that we're fine on KPFs even with Charlie out for the start of the year.

CARLTON
Picks: 31, 38, 78, 101, 112, 120 (likely to use two selections)
Having landed Adam Saad in a busy Trade Period, the Blues won't start their draft night until the 30s. At that point they could look at South Australian mature-ager Jacob Wehr, with the Blues having an interest in the superb-kicking 22-year-old who featured in Woodville West Torrens' premiership this season. The club has also spent some time on Wehr's teammate James Rowe, a small forward who led the SANFL goalkicking this year. The Blues could place a bid on Swans Academy prospect Errol Gulden in the chance he gets that far, but won't be grabbing any of their available father-sons this season. Long-kicking midfielder Caleb Poulter would be a real contender if still on the board at 31.

Cal Twomey's 2020 Phantom Draft: Top 30, late picks, your club's whispers
Who will your club take in this year's NAB AFL Draft? Our guru makes the call

At least his thinking was pretty much in line with most of us on here, which seems to be a constant theme under Teague whether this is a good thing or not is yet to be shown but it’s better than having a coach that is totally out of touch with reality and the thoughts of supporters, Malthouse.
Height wise there’s not much after Reid and Cox are gone with defenders most are only around the 193cm mark, now I’m well aware of defensive traits of body use, positioning and spoiling but I’m of the opinion that we need a modern size defender of around at least the 198cm plus size so I’m not too convinced we’re going to fill that position through the draft properly...
Draftees often keep growing though

Gord! Why even have picks in the 30s if we are chasing rookie level prospects.
