BigFooty AFLW Notice Img
AFLW 2025 - AFLW Trade and Draft - All the player moves
Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
21 will probably cost us pick 30 and a future second. Depends how much we rate Johnson I guess ...
Linked to sonsie a fair bit by the media @ 17 prior to the draft.
I expect he goes to hawthorn or geelong. Might be worth trading up for if the club rates him?
Would stop the midfield melting somewhat too.
It wouldn't hurt to have a big fwd developing in the 2s.
Maybe miller or biggie get pushed forward (?)
Depends on how we rate the players we get with our current seconds and next years second. I would do it, but that's me

I’ll be shocked if Sonsie gets past Hawks or Cats but I’m hoping he doesButler 28
Sonsie 29
Soligo 30
Is my best guess how it will go tonight.
Dark horse is Corey Warner at pick 28.

Sydney. Melbourne. Lions. Passing on Johnson makes me uneasy giving up that much for him
Think Butler will be gone too unfortI’ll be shocked if Sonsie gets past Hawks or Cats but I’m hoping he does![]()
Competition for spots will be great for development. Especially midfield and forward competition.Yeah its interesting.
Maybe they have different ratings, maybe looking for other types. I think Johnson is a type that could blossom for us. At a later pick if it goes wrong, the cost is minimal. Maybe they thought it was a little early for them at their pick
West Coast let him go. What does the WA recruiter for us think?? Only going on the vision, I think he could really become something but he may not. Its not a exact science. He could develop with the right support but he may night, I like the scope but I do not know everything, maybe there are other risks.
See a guy like Butler, where does he fit in when we have Bolton, Stack and others?, in terms of fit he already is facing a uphill battle.
Johnson to me offers something different and different to RCD to me
I think Eagles want a ruck toounfortunately i don't see a reason that geelong would pick conway before our picks, after our 3 picks there's west coast and then geelongs turn again. i don't think we'll be taking a ruck (but who knows), ditto west coast, if anything they might go for williams as a kpf.
unless hawthorn/carlton are a threat? not sure of their ruck stocks atm
View attachment 1287012
after looking at hawks stocks, looks like they have 3 rucks 30 years+ and one 23 year old. so maybe they're a chance with their 2nd or even 1st pick?
Pick 19 went with Will Brodie from the Suns to Freo for Freo's future picks. Suns needed to salary dump Brodie and were happy to send their freebie 19 along with him to fatten the deal. Dockers got a bargain being able to spread Brodie's wage over a couple of years and probably pick up Matt Johnson tonight.The first pick today was the suns priority pick apparently. Somehow got to freo.
Did the suns need more help? They are stacked and the free academy kids are quality
I wouldn't waste a rookie pick on him.No to Knevitt. Does not damage with his possessions and is not a great inside/clearance option compared to others.
think fox wrote about carlton also being interested in conway, but they've also mentioned carlton being interested in macdonald, motlop & butler so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I think Eagles want a ruck too
If cats really want him they need to take him. Can’t risk letting him through hoping no one else is keenthink fox wrote about carlton also being interested in conway, but they've also mentioned carlton being interested in macdonald, motlop & butler so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Johnson, Butler, Sonsie, Howes, Goater, will all go in those 7. We need to trade up.Only live 7 picks untill the Richmond trio
Johnson, Butler, Sonsie, Howes, Goater, will all go in those 7. We need to trade up.
More likely than not I think.Random picks like Cumberland and Martyn incoming
2 mids and a forward for me tonight ideally. Our forward line is poo
Castagna and Aarts play nearly every week. Stack possibly replaces one. A mid size one like Howes would be nice. Especially if he can rotate with Ralph on a wingDusty. Lynch. Riewoldt.
Lambert. Graham. Bolton. Baker. Stack. NewRioli. Ralphsmith. Etc.
It might be alright if the ball starts going there
Take Rance at 30 if he is nominated
