Hawks won't want to let Meek go but he's out of contract and the slightly younger Reeves has an extra year and is on a bigger salary (big enough to be a restricted free agent next year). As far as back-up options go he's more attainable than most.

Would prefer Peckett to slide past our first and ideally the Adelaide second we have. Take a leaf out of the 2021 draft, use early picks and pick up academy kids with junk selections

Adrian Cole is the most likely of our NGA's, a key defender clocking in at 195cm last published measurement, one of the vice captains at Sandy Dragons and a Capricorn. Where he goes on the draft board, way too early to say. As it the bidding process stands, we can only bid-match if he gets...

Problem is most of the ruck options are under contract (Bryan and Strachan both until end of next year) - we have to part with enough currency to prise them out and that means overpaying for a back-up ruck option. The best options out of contract would be Ned Moyle and Lloyd Meek, maybe Lachlan...

Also worth putting a spotlight on the Wilkie highlights video - not often you see a defender being showcased like this

There's at least one (understandable) error on that, GWS traded us Adelaide's 2nd rounder, not their own Source: https://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/1467456/draft-night-one-wrap

Don't think he has the build to consistently ruck - he'd get absolutely ragdolled. The likes of Owens and Battle are stockier and work much better as a second ruck. He's already coming from a way back in terms of conditioning, better to let him work on just his forward craft.

How this kid slid to pick 18 - I don't know. How long until he gets the inevitable Rising Star nod?

King easily - very ordinary selection this week

Seems pretty unequivocal to me - asked at 11:20, very dismissive of the idea of going back to Adelaide
