Saunders 92 DT and 86 SC
Harley 73 DT and 88 SC
This distinction sums it up nicely.
Saunders gets it more, but Harley does more with it.
Both great games from the kids and we could definitely do with a ball accumulator like Saunders (F. O’Sullivan, Jaffa Smith or Syd Draper should be on our...
It's more than that. Western Bulldogs are struggling with cap space, have a plethora of young talls, and we need a young KPD. Pretty fair target for us to identify tbh.
I’m indifferent to missing out on Curtin and relieved we didn’t dish our F1 for Caddy.
Smith, O’Sullivan, Draper and Moraes all look like brilliant complimentary pieces for our blossoming young midfield unit.
Really think Busslinger could be the missing link down back as a prospect who can...
Who's the best kick out of Draper, O'Sullivan and Jagga Smith? Agreed foot skills should be a big priority, we need craft and class around the ball, rebounding from defence and delivering inside 50. But we certainly won't be lacking for power, our midfield is going to be brutal in a couple years...
One of Roberts or Zakostelsky should be available at our next selection, would have been okay with either of them at #30 so I'd be happy with that result!
We've always drafted KPP's early in rebuilds which is admittedly wise, so not surprised with JTR#2 but it'll definitely be interesting to see all the young KPF's battle it out over the coming years!
Would honestly still love Zakostelsky too though. That way our developing KPP's are set and we...
Shocked Adelaide didn't on trade to us for F1!
Makes me think that our offer for Curtin wasn't as simple as just F1, but had something coming back our way too.
Must say I'd put a line through Caddy a long time ago due to his draft range and reported mummyboyitis.
Honestly think he looks a great prospect, just didn't think a KPF would be high on our priority list... But at least Caddy is versatile so could probably combine with some of our other tall...
Melbourne receives:
a first-round pick (currently No.11)
Gold Coast Suns receive:
a first-round pick (currently No.14) and two second-round picks (currently No.27 and 35)
Still can't believe Melbourne may have given up picks 14, 27, and 35 for THOLSTRUP :tearsofjoy:
Those picks could have...

This article is hilarious 😂
Love seeing the Vic media trying to console themselves over the imminent loss of Harley Reid to not just any interstate club, but West Coast!!
Surely F1 + 23 for 7 + 16?
F1 for Curtin alone seems steep, but potentially justified if we rate Curtin as a potential pick #1 in next year's draft which we must to be considering this deal.
ESPN phantom draft is up.

Has us taking Archie Roberts despite Ollie Murphy still being on the board and then Clay Hall over the likes of Mitch Edwards who Dockers...
As long as it's Melbourne's #6 and #11 or Adelaide's #10, #14 and F1 then I'm open to it...
But it does seem risky to miss out on a potentially elite prospect next year, and I'm not sure if Melbourne or Adelaide would offer those selections anyway.
Best 22 for Round 1 or Best 22 for building a future premiership team?
It's pretty clear what we should be prioritising. I do agree that Darling and Sheed will likely be locks to play, but I do question if they should be, unless they have genuinely good form of course.
In Darling's case, with...
The final consensus AFL draft power rankings:
So, who you got?
Imma go with...
1. JTR
29ish
Realistic - Zakostelsky, Jiath, M Edwards, Roberts, Morris, Schoenmaker
Best case scenario - Murphy (interesting that Twomey has him at 24), Collard, C. Edwards, Hardeman, DeMattia
Having said this, I...
Herald Sun Top 50 Draft Rankings and The West with another article about some "expert" arbitrarily deciding we need to target a specific player because of reasons. Anyone able to plagiarise for the rest of us...
According to Twomey's latest rankings, our pick #23 ain't looking too hot... Here they are with Academy and F/S prospects excluded:
1. Reid
2. Duursma
3. McKercher
4. Watson
5. Curtin
6. Sanders
7. Caddy
8. O'Sullivan
9. Windsor
10. Leake
11. Wilson
12. Tholstrup
13. Collard
14. Hardeman
15...
What the hell was that?
Haven't settled on pick one, yet have basically set the price as picks 2 and 3 based on what we've turned down?
It's like he's trying to play it cool yet all he's doing is devaluing our potential haul if we did trade the selection (please don't, JFTR).
I was feeling...
Not if we rate Curtin similarly to some of the top prospects next year.
In the end it comes down to Draper/O'Sullivan/Smith/Smillie vs Curtin + Windsor + late F1.
But I'm not informed enough to make a call on that. Can only cross our fingers and hope that ROB and co. make the right one.
Melbourne appear to be prioritising quality over quantity so if they offered 2023 picks #6 and #11 and their F1 for our F1, I'd take it.
They get access to a star midfielder in next year's draft. Possibly pick one.
We get Curtin and perhaps Windsor or Wilson this year, and still have a late...
We don’t have to link any possible move to wanting Curtin 😂
But I do see what you’re getting at. Definitely possible that the potential move up to pick 7 or 10 may be motivated by the near certainty that a quality KPD will be on the board, whether that be Curtin, O’Sullivan or Murphy. Would...
