Anyone watched Logan Morris this year?

Yes watched all KPF’s closely, there are a few I like before him though. Walter, Caddy, A Reid, Weatherill, Lloyd to just name a few. He goes very well although I don’t think he has the athleticism to make it at the next level for his height/3rd tall. I’m hearing his testing wasn’t that flash either. Hope he proves me wrong as I reckon he’ll go late in the second round. The draft seems to be full of tall/ruck/forwards.

Do you know if caddy tested? If so anything more worthy?

Please get pick 10 from GC using the future end of first round picks and just take it to the draft.

2,3,10,14 & 19 > 1,3 & 19.

Get Brady on the phone right now.

Get Brady on the phone right now.

It’s time to lock Brady in a room for a few days…
Viney to temporarily “take over”

I don't trust Brady anymore unfortunately. He seems dead keen on pick 1 and he'll be trading overs to get Harley.

I could see a club trading up on the night for 10 or 14 as well.

OK let's go, give us a wish list for those picks in your view.

Brady, Viney & Clarkson would all be on the same page with what they’re targeting.
The latter two haven’t just wished him good luck with whatever he does & gone on holiday.
I trust those guys with what they decide & I’ll back them in to turn this shitshow around.

 

[krakouers]

Bell on 6pr:

• Lach is is keen to explore a return to Vic
• Implies a strong possibility he will play for Freo next year (Freo would prefer)
• Plenty of time to listen to offers
• Very non committal to a trade
• Belly not concerned about players leaving
• Fair way apart from Saints with Henry
• Monitoring McDonald at swans

Not sure Coll will satisfy Freo, expect him to be a FA next year

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I don't trust Brady anymore unfortunately. He seems dead keen on pick 1 and he'll be trading overs to get Harley.

It’s not a captain’s call situation, what he does will be based on a strategy built over months and decided by a group of people.

The father-son giant who convinced the Dogs to sell the farm

The father-son giant who convinced the Dogs to sell the farm

The Western Bulldogs handed over three first-round picks on the opening day of trade period. Here’s why.

www.theage.com.au

On the surface, the Western Bulldogs paid a whopping price for Gold Coast’s in-demand pick four.

The Dogs handed over three first-round picks on Monday – selections 10 and 17 this year, and their top one next year – while getting numbers 46 and 51 and a future third-rounder to complete their return.

No one else was willing to pay so much, but there was method to the (perceived) madness, and it all centres on a 200-centimetre kid by the name of Jordan Croft, son of 186-game Bulldog Matthew. More on him later.

List boss Sam Power was honest when he said the decision owed, in part, to how highly they, and everyone else, rate the top-end of this year’s draft crop. Recruiters believe there is a gap between the best eight or nine kids and the rest.

It is an eclectic bunch, from power-packed No.1 elect Harley Reid, to key forward Jed Walter, the silky Zane Duursma, Tasmanian midfielders Colby McKercher and Ryley Sanders, tall swingman Daniel Curtin, and gifted small forward Nick Watson.

Rivals believe Watson is firmly on the Bulldogs’ radar, and operated on the assumption for weeks that the Suns would score pick 10, which is already being hunted by the likes of North Melbourne and Melbourne.

Gold Coast plan to match bids on four excellent academy prospects – Walter, unicorn ruckman Ethan Read, midfielder Jake Rogers and speedster Will Graham – so this deal goes a significant way to them doing that. They will keep wheeling and dealing across the next week or so.

Whichever way the Dogs go, they should find a good one, but make no mistake, they did this because they expect Croft to nominate as father-son eligible. He is tipped to attract a first-round bid anywhere from about pick 10 through to the mid-teens.

The 18-year-old forward-ruck, who is managed by leading agent Tom Petroro, has until the end of this month to make his call.

Power said they were “really keen” to secure Croft, but the highly touted teenager kept his cards closer to his chest when he spoke to this masthead at the draft combine at Marvel Stadium at the weekend.

“It really depends, to be honest. I’ve still got a little bit of time to decide, and talk to family [about] if I’m going to declare father-son,” Croft said. “I’ve always grown up going for the Bulldogs, so it would be an honour to play for that club, if they were going to take me. I just want to be able to play footy, wherever that is, whether that’s interstate or in Melbourne.”

That last line is the intriguing part.

Croft is the modern key-position archetype, at 200 centimetres and with impressive agility and endurance. He finished fourth in the two-kilometre time trial at the combine, taking barely six minutes to complete it. But he is light and will take time to develop.

The Bulldogs were once bereft of talls on their list, but these days are the envy of the competition, with an extraordinary collection of promising talls, including Aaron Naughton, Tim English, Sam Darcy, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, James O’Donnell and Jedd Busslinger.

That logjam is something Croft must consider when he makes his decision.

“I definitely need the time to develop. Being a taller player, I’ve definitely got to put on a little bit more weight to take on those bigger bodies at the next level,” he said. “But it’s a luxury for [coach Luke] Beveridge and the coaching staff to have so many talls, and definitely a benefit for the club.”

Croft kicked 23 goals in 11 games for the Calder Cannons this past season in the Coates Talent League and represented Vic Metro at the AFL Under-18 Championships, including a three-goal haul against South Australia.

For the Dogs, their chips are in. Those extra late picks from Gold Coast were also with Croft and matching a bid in mind, with their draft hand, after No.4, set to be wiped out if he does attract a bid in the first round.

But they are also committed to bringing in St Kilda’s Nick Coffield, and have expressed interest in contracted Demon James Harmes.

Sounds like a kid who wants to be drafted, but he doesn't care whether he finishes up at the Bulldogs or not.

Plus Clarko has said publicly that there are no guarantees with pick 1.

Brady has Viney and Clarkson breathing fire down his neck. If he’s going hard for Pick 1, it’s what they want.

 

[jaspers_barber]

He's a required player

It’s not how it works anymore and I personally hope we go nuts bringing in Reid.

Unless we plan on winning a flag next year I’d much rather bring in quality over quantity. These are the years we build the empire.

GC need points we will have to give them at least 19 as part of deal for 10.

Never let sense get in the way of a BigFooty conspiracy/story.

They gave those priority picks for a reason, get creative, bring in someone who’s going to get viewers on a Saturday night.

I would be very happy if we trade for 1/Reid, it just comes down to what it would cost.
