Opinion 2025 Picks 7* and 8* – who do you want?

[Scythe]

Alright, back on track. I've whipped up a quick consensus again – will add the missing ones as they're made available.

 

[Demon Attack]

You reckon that’s the only reason we want him?

Not at all, but if it's close just pull the trigger imo.

This is next level doomerism.

Him being a medium sized forward, would feel like we are drafting for need opposed to best available. Even Marsh would be a better option as he has a bit more size.

Where our list is at, we should be going for absolute best available opposed to getting cute and trying to reach players based on need. It backfires more than it works doing the reach and Nairn clearly hasn’t been rated in top 10 by anyone until that article came out about us stretching for him.

Hes far more than just a medium forward, I really liked what I saw from him as a link up player. He could be a match up nightmare. Why do you care what the draft media think? Watch him and form your own opinion.

I always love reading this thread, it really brings the best out of this board

No chance we take Pickett who Port didn’t even want for free with a top 10 pick. Taylor should be sacked if he does.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

I take it all back, hes a gun. My favourite player that ive watched. Will be pissed if we dont get him.

Agree - good grab, good tank, kicks well at goal and to advantage.

Played wing later in the year and racked up the pill, get around him!

Do you do anything but panic at hypotheticals?

I watched his clips, looks like a Fritsch 2.0, not necessarily a bad thing but think there is better talent available at our picks. Worse case if we like him enough burn GCF1 on him.

Having a bit more of a read of Nairn, sounds like he had some things to work on particularly his fitness. Sounds like he has worked on his game which is why he's come into the frame. Perhaps not as much as a reach as it would initially seem.

Nairn reminds me of Fraser Rosman - PASS

Interesting to see Nairn with 0 votes in the thread poll despite so many supposedly keen on him.

I went to vote for him last week but he wasn't an option then.

May I once again suggest you just start a blog btw?

Even “other” is out voting him by 4.

Come on Lamby, even you aren't that thick right? Do the math.

Realistically don’t think we take him with 7 or 8. If we are linked it would be in hope he falls to our pick 33/34 or we try use GC1 to grab him via trade.

We often get linked with players expected further down the order, more recently Bo Allan and James Leake.

Still convinced it’s Farrow and Grlj/Cumming

We will absolutely take Cumming if he's available, but not looking like he will be. We're not into the Grljmaster. When all is said is done, I think we'll end up with Nairn and Farrow.

I added the poll option today, lol

 

[PerfectFooty]

I want to vote for 'dropped pie'

 

[dylan93]

Just gotta back in JT. He's done pretty well the last few years to be fair.

Two best available mids and potentially trade GCs future first and our pick in the 30s to jump up for Pickett.

with the run and gun game King is keen on, I don't get why we'd overlook a speedster in Grlj for 2 slow guys. Or at the least average speed guys. Nairn and Farrow would be horrific with 7 and 8. but I do agree in that I think one will be Farrow and in about 5 years he'll be half as good as what McVee is. Yes, I'm being a bit flippant. I wouldn't hate Farrow. But Nairn at 7 or 8 isn't ideal.

Also interesting, that he wasn’t even considered an option for the poll until today.

I haven't really been online for the past couple of weeks, busy period at work
