cal also says crows likely only use two picks. So I’m still confused

wouldn't they need to do that in the rookie draft?

Draft picks: 1, 2, 13, 34, 41 (likely to use four selections)
Most of the Eagles' work will be done early, with three selections held inside the first 13 picks. That will largely determine their draft haul. There has been talks about the possibility of trading into pick No.9 from 13, but there hasn't been much progress on that. The Eagles have some different considerations thereafter, with Tylah Williams the most likely to get a bid, potentially late inside the top-30 or in the back half of the draft. Koby Evans and Wes Walley might get through later on as rookie options, while father-son prospect Charlie Banfield has been nominated but without any guarantees on selection. The Eagles have done some work on ruckman Marcus Krasnadamskis recently but it's hard to see them grabbing two rucks, while they have also had VFL prospect Tom Blamires on the radar. The Eagles will sign former Lion Deven Robertson, ex-Magpie Fin Macrae and delisted Crow Harry Schoenberg as pre-season supplemental period rookie selections once that window opens on November 24 after the trio skipped nominating for the draft.
Grjl and Dovaston still on the board at carltons pick 9, that's gotta be mighty tempting. In Hamish and co we trust.Cal has us taking Marsh
Cal Twomey's 2025 Phantom Draft: Top 30, late picks, whispers
Who will your club take in this year's Telstra AFL Draft? Our expert makes the callwww.afl.com.au
That will certainly make it harder.
We might get pick 40 if we bundled up our last 2 picks, but it's getting late in the game for someone to still need the points.
Suspect we just sit there and get a pick in the early 40's and then get to choose whether we still like another player once everyone else starts passing.
Hopefully we've got a couple of potential mature age guns ready to try out for the SSP.

Not happening given the club has made it clear our 2026 1st is out of bounds according to Twomey and I can't see any way our 2026 2nd gets us up that far.
Perhaps one answer to that is why not? We've spent several years loading up on young talent, which because we're so young we have trouble getting games in to, so why not take fewer picks for the moment, easing the get games into them issue and push later picks forward a few drafts, ideally picking up some value along the way for say 5 years time when we need to start our next build.
) and still before Tas comes in so that helps

Pretty much this.
We've got the 25 man squad we want, which is basically this year's team plus Ah Chee.
We'd rather continuity than bringing in unknown players, noting we also traded out of last year's much stronger draft.
Which is why Edwards and Ryan may well get delisted without playing a game in 12 months time.

Such an intriguing decision. We obviously rate next year very highly as 48 might be 36 by the time all is done and dusted with the bidding. If GC are top 4 next year we're trading for a pick around 50 in 2026. It wouldn't make sense to trade 48 before the draft begins and then trade back in with our F1 or F2 so maybe we have our eye on someone they don't expect to go in the top 50 picks?
Not sure what to think if we pick up Marsh. Hard player to read, very inconsistent.
Phillipou not in the first 30!? Think he'll be a good player but also be a knob to go with it. Don't want.
Schubert to Fremantle. Good. Keeps him away from Port.
Is that Ethan Herbert a relation to Lucas who we had on our list for a while?
Hawks two pick ups according to Cals phantom are sickeningly good
North gonna shaft themselves getting Pickett I reckon.

North using a prime first on a mature age small forward they could have picked in the mid season draft is just pure North stuff
What’s the point of having a draft? I’m fine with the father sons, but what I’m not fine with is the high end players getting taken by the academy which is diluting the overall draft pool where clubs like Suns or Swans have to pay nothing.

Not sure about that, doubtful we chased Draper to be a long term full time forward. I think we were looking to transition from ROB over the next couple of years. Or at least have a viable option to keep him on edge.

I'm more worried about Edwards and Ryan delisting themselves ie not re-signing with us and signing with someone else.
They look like they've each got some weapons to make them B graders or so (maybe higher, who knows) but if we don't get them games (and it might be difficult without injuries as we've only lost Crouch who wasn't playing much, gained Ah Chee and have a top end first rounder in Draper wanting to play)are they gonna be patient enough to wait around or go to someone who will give them games?
I'm the opposite
The Qld and NSW academies are bringing in kids who would be playing league if not for the academies. And they lose a lot of the non-locals they draft to Vic (and a little bit us).
The father-sons on the other hand are largely a Vic club hand out, and they already have enough of a leg up!

That is saying he will get picked up during the SSP, not the PSD. Last part of the sentence says he skipped nominating for the draft
When I look at Sydney, they don’t deserve to have an academy. They have seen success and are an established team in the AFL with a large supporter base. I would argue the same goes with Brisbane who are getting Annable for nothing for a team that just won two premierships in a row.
Teams like Suns and Giants might be a different scenario. I would say that the rules should be changed for example; Gold Coast have access to one academy player in the first round.
I think father sons are a unique component in the AFL, but there shouldn’t be a way you can bundle junk picks for say Daicos or Ashcroft.
I’m just frustrated, because I feel like the draft is so heavily compromised and it’s ridiculous that teams are constantly getting a leg up
