This would make me so happy, Carlton would have to pick cycle to try and preserve some of the value of pick 9 and 11

I struggle to believe it. There are no WA guys at the top so maybe its possible...

Is it possible that they would trade P2 for other picks ..is it possible that P2 worth 2481 chews up 9 and 11 worth 1355 and 1205. ( just for discussion no discount calculated ) ….

Would they trade out one of their R1 picks and try to cover the points another way… Perhaps some sort of arrangement with another club if they did bid on them that early for an in draft trade?

Is Dean a better option than Duff T ?


Id just love to see the first round with no extraneous influences beyond talent. Let them pick who they want to pick and no other club has the right of matching...

but I guess that would create some sort of interest and add spice to the draft.. and a far bit of bitterness at the blues …
 

A bit on Farrow who I really like …. Shame we will not get to him. If WC has learnt anything from missing on Curtin , they should work out a way to keep the WA kid in WA …. but it sounds like he is happy to go anywhere..


BIZARRE REASON JORDAN DAWSON CLONE WILL PLAY ANYWHERE​

Most AFL draft prospects will say they are happy to play anywhere, but West Australian prospect Jacob Farrow genuinely means it.

A damaging left-footer who has been likened to Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson, Farrow rocketed up draft boards after a bumper national carnival, but curiously he has never supported an AFL team.

However, the first-round talent certainly knows ball.

Farrow is an absolute footy nut with all 18 AFL guernseys hanging up in his wardrobe.

He watches around six AFL games each weekend and his hidden talent is knowing the numbers and boots of pretty much every AFL player.

Asked who wears No. 35 for Hawthorn, Farrow knew instantly it was second-year forward Calsher Dear.

“I don’t actually go for a team,” Farrow said with a smile.

“I got a jersey for each of the 18 clubs. Just love watching a good game of footy.

“I’ve got a few numbers. I had the six on the back of the Bulldogs one when Bailey Smith was there. Nat Fyfe number seven on the back of the Freo one, but other ones are just plain jerseys.

I haven’t been too one team focused, like watching a game of footy I don’t really get too emotional if a team loses or whatever because I don’t have any hard feelings.”

As a consequence, AFL clubs can be assured that the 188 centimetre halfback/midfielder is IN for the long haul.

“If there was an opportunity to be grabbed at the draft, then any team would be amazing,” Farrow said.

Farrow’s dedication also extends to his own footy.

Told by his talent manager that he needed to work on his running over the off-season, the West Perth product took matters into his own hands.

“I went away and got a sprint coach, so I did a lot of sprint stuff over the off-season, pre-season, and that gave me a lot of confidence to take the game on more and drive my legs,” Farrow said.

“So that’s held me in good stead and set me up for a really good year.”

That intervention saw the U18 All-Australian shine for Western Australia at the national championships and at colts and then league level with West Perth, where he has been mentored by former West Coast defender Josh Rotham.

“He’s taken me under his wing and obviously with his experience at AFL level, and he knows what I’m going through right now, the process, and he’s just there I can lean on,” Farrow said.

Farrow is eyeing a similar progression to the player he has been compared to in Dawson.

Dawson began his career at Sydney in defence before becoming a gamebreaking midfielder at Adelaide.

“I think to start my career I would be at that halfback and then transition into a midfielder over time,” Farrow said.

“Jordan Dawson is a really good kick, takes a good mark in the air, and I feel I’ve got those traits as well. So to become a midfielder in the future would be something I’d be interested in.”

Speaking of Tom Mitchell...

Sounds motivated, has something to prove. And a break glass in case of emergency inside mid that would let Danger play forward if he's having a GF type of day feels like it could improve our midfield and options. I mean, Starcevich is now an Eagle anyway so wouldn't be there to put the clamps on, but my I think my point is still valid. It would depend on how much he's after for a season, but given how close we got this year, worth it?

Feels like a long time since he's played a well

Sounds like a roughy that someone will have a ping at in a draft considered less than ideal…. 202cm and top 5 in spring and 20m sprint...

Like to see some video on him to see if he could play ….




THE TALL SMOKEY WITH PLENTY OF UPSIDE​

An athletic tall with a “lot of upside” is shaping as a draft smokey after lighting up the Victorian state draft combine.

Eastern Ranges ruckman Marcus Krasnadamskis was not on a Coates Talent League list mid-season after stepping away from football last year to focus on a promising basketball career.

Krasnadamskis spent the early part of this year playing under-19s for Berwick in the Eastern Football League, before strong form saw him called up to the Ranges.

The 202cm tall played 13 games after making a round 9 debut, averaging 11.5 disposals and 14 hit-outs on his way to a premiership with the Ranges.

Krasnadamskis went on to record top-five results in multiple tests at the state draft combine, ranking fourth nationally in the vertical jump (74cm), fourth in the running vertical jump (88cm) and second in the 20m sprint (2.887sec).

While he is seen as a more of a long-term project player – like a lot of young talls – Krasnadamskis has shown enough to suggest he has potential at the top level.

“He follows up really well, he’s got great mobility for a big guy and I think that’s his basketball skill set in there too,” Ranges coach Lauren Morecroft said.

“He’s got a lot of upside to go.”

Would be good to test the waters on the new dvi with an early bid but i assume it's just talk

I agree… that why I said false flag… but it would be a big change to what has tended to happen … in the past a top ten FS may well end up in the teens…

If only he was 220cm tall. That would have been nuts, like a player created through a game editor

If we hadn’t brought in Worpel and had heaps of list space

Looking at who has the picks in the 20s and 30s. It would be difficult for teams to move down for points. The teams that have them already need them.

On a different matter, I can't comprehend neutral spectators. If you love sport, even when watching some unknown sport/players, you unconsciously pick a side. Though you can't articulate the choice in words, it'll be a team/player that lines up with what you value/like.

I know, right? I can't even watch raindrops on a window without barracking for one of them to slide down fastest.

We can't know that. For all we know someone might've enquired about Wiltshire in the trade period.

Ultimately we wouldn't have played games of guessing who would be taken and who wouldn't. We kept Wiltshire and delisted Stevens because we rated Wiltshire higher than Stevens.

Possibly but we know stevens has had interest from at least one club (who are still looking) whereas we dont know that Wiltshire has had interest from anyone so its a weird one.

Seems very low hitout numbers. Was he sharing ruck duties?

Been watching the NBA for years and never really picked a team; usually just watch whichever Aussies are playing

The Pies fans I know have all said he fell off the cliff, that a team like North could definitely use him, maybe Essendon, but no other teams would take a punt.

I think he was crucial to their good start to 2023 but you could see him falling away over the year and that was pretty much that.

I know zero about him bar what was published… probably a question for those familiar with him or the Ranges. Considering he is late to the game and a bit of project player … id almost think it would be incidental to his underlying potential for someone who picked him. I think our spots would mean it will not be us.
