    Review Rate the draft and trade period

    Trade period was fine. McVee fills a need and has the potential to be a very good player for us. Cox is good quality cover for Darcy and Jackson. End of the day the question is: 1. Did we get what we need to be successful? 2. Did we put the club at significant risk? Answer is yes and no, so...

    How would Simpson go on a wing? Noting of course that under J-Lo being on a wing is a fate worse than death.

    Toast Welcome to Fremantle Adam Sweid - Pick 25 of the 2025 AFL Draft

    Fills a need. Looks like an OK pick-up. https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/adam-sweid/

    Must suck for Richmond to start with Pick 3 and 4 and winding up having to take at Pick7 and 8

    Could just take 1, 2, and 13 though. Get Duursma, Duff-Tytler, and best of whoever is at 13 (Farrow, Lindsay, Phillipou, Marsh, etc.) and you're set up. Otherwise you're trying to find the players who slipped down the order in a weak draft when you could just pick the best two out of the gate...

    If I'm West Coast I'm just going to the draft and taking the two most talented young players in the comp. Why **** around with sliding backwards?

    Played 100 games. Stat's fairly average for a forward. (0.8 goals a game, 2.3 tackles, 14 disposals, ef .) Not a star but far from a bust.

    If I recall average games played for Pick 10 is 100. Perkins and Campbell both on track for where they were picked even if neither are superstars.

    Will Phillip delisted by North. Horrible draft in hindsight; out of the top 10 seems only like Thilthorpe, Perkins and Campbell have really established themselves. Some bad luck or tough competition for McDonald, Cox and Reid. And the rest have either played up badly or didn't make the grade.

    At this stage you think they'd anticipate the problem and just hold off until trade period is done.

    Oppo Camp Former Freo player watch

    Get where you're coming from, but Dixon also didn't seem professional off field judging by the "he can be whatever he wants to be" commentary when he was at our club. Reckon if I'm the Devils I'd want mature players who are committed and set a good standard off-field. (With that said maybe a...

    Hugh Dixon to the Tasmania Devils VFL side. Good pickup for them, but long road back to AFL given his previous problems.

    Good thing they grabbed Hobbs. TBF his draft profile read a lot like Brodie. If you need a player who wins the ball at stoppage he's your man. If you need someone who can actually do something with it.... 🥴 He'd be a good pick up from what I saw for a club that needs a good inside midfielder...
