I've long believed he's a handy fwd, but this wouldn't be my priority with Kemp now. SOS has more defensive ability and fwd smarts than Kemp IMO. The priority for me in the fwd line is another Jack Martin. Crash and bash medium type that has good goal sense and speed and commands a tall...

If we decided to get Oliver, we're hoping we just win every clearance until we win a premiership. Dees would want minimum two top 10 picks which they could package up for pick 1 and get Reid. No doubt he'd be great in our side but not sure we can essentially bow out of this draft and the...

Nice of them to put our boys on the thumbnail and have close to no footage of them

Durdin barely played this year and we didn't get a look at Carroll and Williams obviously. Binns also looks ready to play at any time while Docherty has the flexibility to play anywhere. I'm forgetting Cowan too, have high hopes for him, loved his kicking and run. Don't think we'll miss Fish...

Boyd and Mirkov already signed until end of 2024

Both great posts. Watson is exactly what we need and the more I watch of EHollands, the more I realise I'll have to temper my expectations.

Fairly sure Crozier is managed by Matt Bain. Doc, Cripps, Murphy's manager...

How do we get Nick Watson? Plays a bit like Papley up fwd and tipped to go top 10. He hasn't done so well when he's been trialled midfield and back and he's 170cm, 4cm shorter than Betts and 2cm taller than Caleb Daniel (worth noting Watson's marking is a strength).

Centre clearance and contest is our biggest competitive advantage over the competition. The running power from Doc, Acres, Walsh, Hollands and Cottrell also sets up the midfield. For me, the biggest area of growth is our forward line. Charlie is amazing, Harry is good for the system but has...

Huh? Every disposal is to advantage and he's our best link player and been in form all year.

Better off drafting a Caddy type than paying overs for an existing AFL player. We literally only need a more consistent Jack Martin. He stays fit and our forward line is great.

Would rather back Durdin in

Bone bruising at best. Hopefully a Ridley like scenario

Port bloke? Former bagger legend Matthew Lobbe

Cody Walker, son of Andrew, played in the U16 Kickstart Indigenous team vs All Nations match today. Pretty good quality game for 15 year olds, but still not a high enough quality to let their skills flourish. That coupled with the wind and crap camera angle - I could only really get a very...

They love him, I'm told he impressed many at training on his first proper day too - explosive and endurance running 🏃🏻‍♂️

Almost certain Ed Curnow will be our only rookie pick up

Still think we go best available. Mid, small fwd, half back doesn't matter. We have about 4 tall fwds and 4 tall backs in our best 22 and we kind of survived a total demolition on the injury front. Don't think we draft for best 22 needs - I'm actually very excited to see who Austin and Agresta like

McKenzie for me

I want to split 10 and have two teens picks somehow. If we could get Brayden George and Hewett/Hayes I would be ecstatic. Frought with danger though, Ollie Hollands at 10 would very likely be a long time best 22 player.

In which case you'd try to go: Pick 10 for Pick 13, Freo Future 2nd. I would hold that F2nd because we have McGovern off contract and would be able to tackle the trade period better with the future 2nd. If there are some highly rated academy/FS players with clubs that don't have a stockpile of...

Fair point on the return you'd want for pick 10. But it still stands that I think we can leverage the Jefferson demand between Swans and Dees to move back and still get someone that's touted as - in the range for pick 10.

My guesstimate at likely draft positions: Not going to shy away from this in case I'm made a fool of in years to come ha 1. Lions - Ashcroft 2. GWS - Cadman 3. North - Sheezel 4. North - Wardlaw 5. Bommerz - Tsatas 6. Suns - Humphrey From there it's 5 picks to our selection and you can throw a...

I'd be shocked if we took him at 10

I could be famously wrong but Phillipou looks more like Kyle Langford than Bontempelli to me. I see the upside and talent but I'm just not as bullish on him than others. I don't really like too many in this draft to be honest. A lot will come down to how teams develop these kids rather than...

Looking at his socials seems he does a lot of elite training. Assume it's his dad that's a coach/trainer

Love Elijah Hewett. Not sure he gets it enough to get picked at 10 but a lot of upside

GF teams are doing four talls. Cats: Kolodjashnij, SDK, Stewart, Henry Swans: McCartin x2, Rampe, Blakey I'd emulate the Sydney model as much as possible. McCartin x2 = Weit and Young Rampe = Marchbank Blakey = Gov Those four with Saad and one of Newman/Boyd with Williams and Doc loose...

Could also be not entirely true

Sound like Doc will play more midfield time from Austin's comments. My preferred 22 and second team/depth would be: Marchbank, Weitering, Young Williams, McGovern, Saad Docherty, Walsh, Acres Fisher, Curnow, Durdin Silvagni, McKay, Motlop De Koning, Cripps, Hewett Kennedy, Martin, Cerra...
