Wayne Carey.

Bont is 26 this year. I reckon some people would still pick Matt Rowell or Sam Walsh. If I don't have to care beyond the next 2-3 years I'm taking Dusty.

Gold Coast will still be ordinary next year. Look at Port, they had 3 kids come in and have an impact straight away and they didn't improve - and that's coming from a more established base. Gold Coast just need to keep a core together for a few years and they'll be solid.

What happens if your 5 minutes runs out anyway? No pick? The AFL picks for you? Name out of a hat?

2 minutes ago It appears West Coast will be the partner to trade with Brisbane here, which would allow the Lions to match later selections. Discussions are ongoing... We're alive!

I know we got Tim Kelly and all but I honestly reckon we could've got 5 picks in the 20s this year if we stayed in this draft. Craig Vozzo will be be giving Kelly dirty looks in the corridor for costing him a chance at a record haul of second rounders.

No idea if they have any NGA/FS prospects of their own, but if not it's a smart play.

I reckon Geelong have their eye on the pointy end of 2020 "NGA draft". Pick 11 + (based on 2019 form only) two picks 12-18 would give them currency to trade up to around the top 5. Those picks on their own aren't anything special next year with all the bidding that is apparently going to take...

I don't get it. How are you allowed to trade 11 for 27? That's 1,329 points for 703. It's not like when they traded for our first pick that ended up being 18.

Port Adelaide: 2018: 5, 12, 18 2019: 14, 18, 23, 25 That's 5 first round picks and two early second round picks in two years.

Crazy Wellsy.

Did the Cats do a Tim Kelly again and get in ahead of Carlton knowing they have another pick very soon?

If by some chance he doesn't go in what is currently the top 22 picks tonight, I reckon we will be trying to work out some kind of trade tomorrow - not that we have much to work with.

I hear his favourite number is 47.....

I bet Geelong take Robertson with the pick we traded to them.

I would have liked to see GWS bid on Henry to make Freo use pick 7, then Freo bid on Green because FU GWS.

Whoever bid on Green and Henry was going to be the bad guy. Only issue was whether a club had the balls to bid top 3 on Green or top 6 on Henry.

Cal Twomey's phantom draft had Rowell/Anderson 1/2 as everyone did and Flanders at 5. Gold Coast with all 3, boom.

So Carlton traded pick 6 this year for 19 last year and 9 this year, to turn 9 into 11 with two bids and then trade it for 17 and 22? OK.

Everyone potting Carlton should be thankful they traded with Adelaide last year otherwise they'd be bidding at pick 6.

Richmond are going to end up outside the top 25 at this rate.

What's the big deal? Freo still got to use 7 and 8.

Anyone want to trade us a first round pick? I'll even accept Gold Coast's special pick 20 so we get to take part today.

At what point do you discount a player's value due to age? Dustin Martin and Nat Fyfe are 28 and dominant. Do you take Jeremy Cameron who is two years younger but not as consistent over his career? Or Patrick Cripps who is 24 but not quite as good in the middle? I reckon Taranto is a sneaky...

Good honest assessment. I don't want to pump up NicNat but he's been AA ruckman and there have been periods where footy analysts go on and on about the influence he has on our midfield, how we can't win without him, how he's the best tap ruckman in the game etc. Rich isn't the subject of such...

164 games vs 199. Naitanui has had the superior career.

By chance I spoke to Peter Sumich (then assistant) in the lead up to the draft. He said internally WC were split on Rich or Naitanui. The news narrative was that freo would take whoever we didn't. Hill at 3 caught a lot of people off guard.

People are quick to jump on players who have good seasons.

No from me. We've had NicNat on a good money 5 year deal and he's missed more than he's played. Do we deserve anything for that? Nope. If you draft a player at pick 1 and they do a Menzel/Morabito it's really just bad luck.
