Yet we haven't spoken to him. Amazing the rubbish they sprout on the AFL site. Starting to wonder though if not speaking to him is a shifty being pulled by the club.

Still think he will end up at Port Adelaide.
Yes, they have plenty of talls, but how many of them are actually decent?
Plus he's a South Australian boy!
I'm keen on Vlastuin, however he has the potential to be a whipping boy for a couple of seasons as those in and under types need plenty of time to develop.
Interesting draft to come!

Wow, this is becomming a tense , wait & see game;
AFL just posted we are a real chance of Grundy at pick 9.
Like being a 10 year old, not being able to decide : Do l getm y first ever quality Gray Nicholls cricket bat, or do l get my real first real Sherrin football?
Either way, the kid has a big WIN.

FWIW i choose the cricket bat. Who does that equate to in the Jungle

Don't be surprise if the Giants go Whitfield, Menzel, Plowman leaving the Dees to choose between Wines and Toumpas. #AFLDraft

Would that mean someone like O'Rourke slips through to our pick. Surely the Dogs wouldn't pass on Wines?

Be interesting to see if we definitely haven't spoken to him - FJ does like his secret squirrel stuff

It would be breathtaking if we had interest but hadn't spoken.
That pretty much rules out Grundy being taken by us, I reckon.
Emma is pretty spot on and wouldn't just say that on a whim

Unless we just couldn't believe he would be available at 9, and are now scrambling to get to Adelaide, not to interview him would be pretty surprising/ bordering on poor I reckon.

Slowly getting to looking at some more videos on the AFL site. Anyone think with the inclusion of Choco Williams that we might look at a Tim Sumner type with 32,34 or 43??? He does have a good record of developing the indigenous lads whilst at Port Adelaide. Really like his size and speed and if you look at a similar type in Jetta they dont need a lot of touches to be damaging players.

Now that would make things interesting

Not saying I know anything BTW. Just FJ is the guy who has hidden behind trees and gone to extraordinary lengths to keep our interest in players we hope to see slide secret.

IF (and its a big if) we think the GWS may let him slide from 3 if they think no-one will take him before the teens, it would be in our interest to keep any discussion on the QT in order to not force GWS to jump the gun and use 3.

I was sure I'd heard before that the Giants weren't sold on Toumpas. This gives that suggestion a little more credence.

Yeah but what would Melbourne do then? Split up the love affair with Wines and Viney leaving the Dogs to get Toumpas. More and more it looks like the Dogs are laughing all the way to the bank with this draft.

 

[tigs2010]

I bet we've spoken to him over the years too.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Grundy would add nicely to our other South Australian recruits this year.
Gee we really love that place don't we?

IIRC North Melbourne hadn't interviewed Shaun Atley when they picked him at #17 in 2010.

It's a bountiful source of players because most people in SA want to leave

Were probably thinking no way he lasted that long. Wernt the Dons keen at 8 or 9 before Heppell was avaliable???

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Skip to 1.53.
Sums it all up really

Stingray Taylor Garner has plenty of suitors. The Dogs, Suns, Pies and Dees all big fans. Could he be the bolter?! #AFLDraft

Yep.

It was a while ago, but I think Essendon were expecting Heppell to be picked up by Richmond, and when he slid through - they overlooked Atley.

I really want to delete my post. Really.

I'm not sure it's even possible now
