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.

 

[stEdy]

Actually stoked with our picks. Both are genuinely exciting

 

[danster168]

He smiled danster168

Good sign!

 

[MarcMaverick]

I reckon that the rationale of drafting Taylor and LP is to allow Rivers and Kozzy more midfeild minutes and to allow more flexibility.

 

[stEdy]

All of us Nairn doubters on here should be proud, we have successfully lobbied jTaylor and sKing to change their minds last minute and pick up Latrelle

 

[Scythe]

Best picture from last night

 

[PerfectFooty]

These Pickett cousins at #12 seems to be a bit of an improvement on McDonald brothers at #53

 

[SugarHealey]

I really hope we don't trade back. Keep those two 1sts for next year

I'd like to add to those two 1st... for next year... Via trading out a couple this time next year.
... Imagine IF... we have 4 x 1st Rnd picks, in 2026 draft. We have got Lever covered off.


Keep tMc on for 2027, as a development tall back assistant... playing and non-playing with Casey, teaching and developing.

 

[SugarHealey]

Agree, a key forward once we delist Jefferson and a nuggety mid next year.

Next year will be the year to trade a top tall-forward into this club.

Ben King... RFA at the end of 2026_
... all you accountants out there, sharpen yous pencils.

Josh Treacy?
Jye Amiss?
pVoss - 2026

 

[SugarHealey]

I'll back in JT, but I didn't see a lot when looking at Latrelle's highlights. Fingers crossed he's the answer to our small forward issued.

and a good bit taller than cuz de Kozzac.

 

[SugarHealey]

Brutal!

Stoked to get Taylor, he looks a jet.

Pickett has a tonne of x-factor, fingers crossed he comes good.

Nairn! Wonder if he slides to our next pick at about 28 now

i was hoping last night, when i left the pub. foxfooty.

Mate we aren't trading Lever for a first, would be lucky to get a second. Whatever players we have left with currency of a first pick we need to actually keep now.

Better off trying to rort free agency with our low ladder position like WC did.

I have no idea when his contract expires. I would expect he is on pretty good coin that no other club would want to take on. He also has a young family so I don't see him wanting to move interstate. I'd say there's zero chance he moves to another club.

Looked bog average to me. That's why i'm so excited with our picks last night. The two we picked are literally two out of a handful of exciting players in this draft. The rest look very vanilla to me. Nairn and Farrow was not going to get any sort of response. At least with Taylor and Pickett we have 2 kids who look exciting. Pickett is a little risky, but the upside is huge!

Ben McKay got paid enough to get North a first rounder. I know this board hates Lever, but the idea that he'd be little more than a bargain bin trade is a bit OTT.

Yep. Also with our dearth of leadership I'm not sure why we want to turf Lever so badly.

It's Lever's high football IQ that I like.

 

[Topkent]

I don't think levers very good, he's not shit like some of the extreme campaigners on here but he's not a very good player. He has one elite skill at AFL level which is intercepting and he's really not excelled at it for years.
If the backline isn't designed to work around him I don't think he's some huge loss

I think your undervaluing Lever. Mfcss?

No, we don't need Lever, nor Fritta. Sell at the highest offer. A clean out... and a fresh start for the club.
Fritta is worth a 1st Rnd pick for someone.

Tracca was worth plenty as a 30Yr old.

I don't think anyone would want Lever, whatever the price is.
Fritsch is our best forward. I wouldn't be trading him. I think he could be very dangerous for us if we move the ball better.

North tried to get him this year.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah bit stupid to say no one would want lever whatever the price. Bet if we offered him up for pick 40 almost every club in the league would try and make it work

 

[SugarHealey]

I think all our forwards will be dangerous, if and when we deliver the ball thru the corridor, opening up all angles inside F50.
