Imagine instead of giving our #1 draft pick each year a particular number like Pies used to, we just gave them hbf and guilt tripped them one bloke won a bnf having never played there before.


I was like this too but remembered Troy and Adam came before Joel.

Also Jason and Cameron before Travis.
FWIW, I'm also the youngest child.

Adding whatever value is required to #2 and trading up for Reid

It's been my belief the club wants Harley, that they see him as a force multiplier for the young group we've already established and a 'September player' as Clarko puts it, and I won't begrudge the club for spending multiple pics to secure him. It's not hard to imagine all of Brady's moves thus far have been to do just that.
Good post, with a big nod to your use of ‘force multiplier’ to explain why 1 player may end up better than 2 in this instance.

Similarly, when you look over the list you laid out, the potential is there and age-wise more ready than many think. It just needs the yeast, and on-field I think Harley may be it.
 
His kicking skill is a dash overrated. He is capable of hitting really nice long kicks and his short kicking is neat, but he is prone to mis-kicking them.

In saying that, his kicking isn’t the main reason why you are drafting him. It’s his explosiveness, speed, ability to accumulate the footy, ability to break tackles and ability to open up the game up.

On a side note outside of Sanders who is a beautiful kick and decision maker I think the kicking skill of all of the top midfielders is a bit overrated this year. McKercher, Duursma, & Watson are all prone to over kicking the footy.
It'd probably be criticized here but I really hope we take Sanders at 3. His balance, vision and placement of the footy remind me of Sam Mitchell, except he'll end up with a much stronger frame and his leadership is something the club could do with more of.

I commend Brady for getting our current draft hand…can’t recall us ever having this many at our disposal.
As for the media ….they’re board stiff and have dead space to fill in until next Friday..hence these bonkers trade scenarios. I’ve lost count of how many of them eagerly suggest we sell the farm and then some, then head into the draft with a reduced hand. Whilst giving other clubs a leg up with their suggestions. So I’ll look at each clip of these so called experts …have a chuckle…and move on.
I’m sure after what we have acquired, Brady and co will look into what’s the reasonable risk in the possibility of gaining the cats, gws or even pick one. (if that’s what they’re thinking) If they are way out there bonkers crazy, we walk away. As mentioned on this board, play our cards right and make considered moves, this is shaping up as a club defining draft… Just look at the melts going on in the media and on socials from other clubs and supporters…they know it… s+$# them as it us against them.
I’ve always been of the thought get as many top quality players as you can, without significantly trading away your advantage….Just look at Harry and George.
So until then I’ll trust what Brady is cooking up, and laugh at these media muppets creating their own trade scenarios in their heads, that becomes newsworthy so they can be paid for so called journalism. After all it is the silly season….and so far it’s looking rather glorious.

I’d be thrilled if he ended up at North, because I rate him so highly.

It’s a hard sell though, because he is a one paced centre square midfielder, too similar to players we already have.

Reid offers a point of difference because of his power and ability to play multiple positions. McKercher offers a point of difference because of his speed. Duursma offers a point of difference because of his ability forward of centre.

Brady has done a decent job so far but he has been gifted pick 3 and 3 priority picks. Blind Freddie could have done a decent job with the cards he was dealt.

Who is this Blind Freddie fella and why isn’t he already on our recruitment team?..
 
In racing terms, it seems Curtin has the blows.

A bit puzzling.

On the vision, he looks athletic, composed and is an above average kick. Being a lefty doesn't hurt either.

He's definitely physical and he's well built for an 18yo. He's also rising 196cm.

Our backline is terrible. Worst backline we've had in 50 years yet we see points of difference in midfielders in this crop!

He's been top 4 all year so we'd be hardly be reaching at 2 or 3.

His recent comments about playing under Clarko were impressive too.

Can't see too many knocks on him.

Agree, the other thing about Sanders is he is in our friggin NGA Academy, and it will be hard watching him perform for any other team, some more than others.
