Its based on my rankings and what clubs needs are, which differ from other peoples rankings.

Good to see some love coming for the Goat here. Curious about hawks and Toby Conway. You think that changes if we trade for a Rickman like that Collingwood backup?

Yea possibly, if we do we might take Sam Banks who is a outside mid/hbf at that pick if we trade in a youngish ruck.

I had Goater go a little early because i think he fits what GWS are looking for.

Just on Goater.

You don’t have him going early. Your the second draft watcher to have GWS to take him with their first pick, and he’s been spoken about as a potential top 5 pick since last weekends game.

I didnt realise someone else had him goto GWS, i just thought he was the only outside mid left around that range, maybe a bit of a reach?

 

[Davo-27]

Watched a few Brisbane games this year, how the hell did Dev Robertson not go top 15 in his draft year? Absolute mystery.

I’d be happy with Williams and Gibcus. Very unlikely to happen.

Yeah the GWS draft watcher. I had him to Adelaide the pick before.

Quite a few talking about him as potentially top 5.

Do not mind pairing Van Rooyen with Mcdonald long term. However if Ward/Gibcus/Long are ther, thatd be my preference.

Hey Davo- I’m assuming you’re in Vic? Did you (or will you) watch the WA 17’s V 19’s today?

Hey Davo- I’m assuming you’re in Vic? Did you (or will you) watch the WA 17’s V 19’s today?

Im currently in a bad position, stuck in lockdown with no internet access except my mobile phone, so im struggling atm lol.

No i didnt catch the game this weekend, ive been dealing with some dramas recently with my mum in hospital, in the process of changing internet to nbn because broadband disconnected and lockdowns, so the last few weeks ive missed a few games.

Fantastic draft from a Lions POV best Defender and Forward in the draft probably not likely to happen on draft night though with Richmond more than likely to draft a key forward for when Riewoldt retires

Have yet to see the Northern Academies kids from this age group.

Was just wondering on what makes Wardlaw such an elite prospect and how far away is Tsatas, as it seems he has possibly more upside.
Also are their any good talls which could go top 10 or 5?
