First round pick stockpile incoming

They should be using them to bring in GOOD and established players. Not overrated fringe players (Ablett aside). Though their pick was a good one, they overpaid a fair bit. Geelong will be laughing. That's 3 first round picks next season now?

Dale Bruce Weightman LLoyd Naughton Greene That would be our forward line if we were going for 6 blokes that can actually take a mark up front. And a balanced two talls, two mediums and two smalls type structure. Suddenly we've gone from a forward line full of midfielders a few years ago and...

How much were we making a year on the pokie machines if anyone is genuinely in the know? Curious to how much money we will have to make up for through other means.

They said the same about Worpel, and looked how he turned out.

Guessing Geelong didn't want Kemp or Robertson bad enough. Flanders unexpectedly sliding probably ended any of those rumor's about Gold Coast trading up for Kemp. They found a player they wanted more and teams knew Carlton were willing to trade out their pick. Apparently tomorrow will be a...

The coverage starts at 6:30pm. What time does the actually draft begin? 7:30pm?

Expect that cycle to run for a few more years yet.

Just so everyone knows. Incase of any live trades occurring during the draft. If say Geelong moves up to Carltons pick. And the Blues get two early picks in return. Those picks will no longer count in the scores, but the other 17 attached to the clubs will. Which I'm sure was pretty obvious to...

GWs will need to finish lower than Sydney on the ladder to "bid" on any top end prospects. So it won't happen. Surprised Sydney won't consider a bid. They need another inside midfielder with a strong contested side. Kennedy isn't getting younger

Going to be a boring two years between now and the 2021 draft. Lack of debate of who we should or might get, the fun of the mystery, talking about various different prospects. Instead it will just be about Jamarras highlights packages, the other NGA/FS prospects and what other teams might do...

Hopefully he gets home sick and wants to come home in a couple of years :p That way if we land a small forward in this draft, we are only a true winger away from a balanced team :D Wishful thinking though

I've made that mistake 100 times now. I pretty much have the Mc part ingrained in my head

1 - Gold Coast - Rowell 2 - Gold Coast - Anderson 3 - Melbourne - Jackson 4 - GWS - Ash 5 - GWS - Green 6 - Sydney - Flanders 7 - Adelaide - McAsey 8 - Fremantle - Young 9 - Fremantle - Stephens 10 - Fremantle -Henry 11 - Carlton - Serong 12 - Melbourne - Pickett 13 - Hawthorn - Kemp 14 - Port...

Are you a draft Guru? Will you lead your team to Premiership glory? Or will you consign it to the depths for years to come? How good is your list management, scouting and drafting skills all in one? Do you have inside words on the other teams plans? Just a random game I thought of the other...

Agree on the link up part. He has sufficient pace, and a good engine, so he can work off his opponents, but more so he can mark it well in the air, which is what most of our midfielders cannot seem to do well. Instead of the ball being dropped, thus being staying live, or turned over, we have...

Pretty much what you said in terms of his time frame. I think it was said that his ACL injury was pretty clean, as in there was no damage to the other ligaments in the knee, which is a huge plus, and the fact he is still young and body still developing. So his knee should be more stable than...

Say McAsey, Weightman, Pickett and Bergman are all gone at our pick which is still fairly possible. Who is most likely to slide? Will we go best available approach, or best available in position of need still? Anyone want to take a guess who might be our next target in line? Given all the talk...

If going by recent reports, and if the Fox Sports article is spot on with their whispers about putting heaps of work into Bergman and that Weightman is more a smoke screen (possibly makes sense, how many other draftees were publicly shown touring facilities?). It sounds like our current draft...

Agreed. If King and Naughton can do it, why cant he? He ticks the profile of being athletic, being able to mark the ball, and is projected top 10 player. Not to put pressure on him, but I still feel its silly to assume he is some kind of late pick/long term project. With Bruce and Naughton...

I seriously doubt Jackson will reach 15. There are a few teams above us, who have average to no rucks. Will be surprised if he goes past GWS, but more so reaches anywhere near our pick.

You mentioned Bergman twice at both pick 16 and 19

On Weightman, there is a very strong chance of him being picked up before us. Demons and Blues were chasing smaller forwards in the offseason. Hawks haven't really had anyone since Rioli. If no one bids on Green before GWS two picks, or Henry before Fremantles two picks. Our Pick 13 has possibly...

Was part of the Keath trade.

Not really. He'd be one of a few to have toured our facilities. Clubs interview a few players, then break it down and re interview a smaller group, then show a couple around. It does point to Weightman strongly being in the running for pick 13 and the more likely pick at this stage, but I...

Yeah, at least say who they think the Demons will swap it with, and more so because they didn't even account for the players that went picks 10-14, one of those would have gone at pick 9. Which makes their current predictions after pick 9 rather pointless. Not exactly the brightest bulb

Yeah they normally get some of the early picks right, so don't get the hate for their mock, even when some of the picks make sense as well. I think its one of those, I hate the Herald Sun, so automatically hate anything they produce kind of thing I didn't mind their mock. Finally something...

Going by the Carnival stats. Jai Jackson, another forward. Averages more possessions, more contested ball, same assists, same scoring shots, just a goal more. But averages a crap load of more tackles, apparently hit the double figures a few times for his main club, and more so goes at a great 85...

Exactly. All first round picks, you take the best player you can, and someone who will come close to/or live up to their pick value. Be a impact player for your team. Just cannot see Pickett being a high impact or consistent enough player to spend pick 13 on. I'd love him as well, but only if we...

I'd take Bergman over Pickett. Purely because there are some smalls deeper in the draft, and Bergman types are not so common. Plus I feel Bergman offers more consistency and flexibility position wise. Pickett has to many low possession games and doesn't kick much goals for a forward. People...
