he could of dance around the hall with a tambourine and distract geelong long enough for another staff member to slip adelaide our offer instead
Then we'd have pick 10... and no 2nd round draft pick.
I think the Geelong/Adelaide pick trade works out well for us as Adelaide would've been more likely to draft a tall than Geelong, now with Geelong in front of us - they'll likely take a mid with 10, considering they just brought Clark & Stanley in.
I think we'll end up with Tom Lamb at 13.

Tell me about him?
I'll confess, I haven't been keeping an eye on who we could potentially be drafting. I just read a write up on this one. Promising, if a little undersized at 193cm... bur before we pick him up, I hope we have vetted that he is in the right head space and not potentially the type who will want to go back home in 2 years or less (please see Boyd). We really need to get some sort of return on our first round pick.
Haven't seen him play, but after reading some reports on him he sounds like he will be available and would fit in up forward/down back. He has talent, just needs to work harder.

And now someone on the board is saying they sent a tweet during the year and the reply was that he actually signed a 2 year extension last year. Not one.I asked the queston on the cats board, apparently Balme mentioned it on Trade Radio but nothing official. It may be a wait and see.
The response from the cats board are
1. He is, believed to be next year only. I think due to wanting more time to develop by playing in the ones.
2. didn't think he was either. I thought he signed a one year deal at the end of 2013. So can't help with any confirmation. I can only trust that Balme knows what he's talking about (and after this trade period that may be generous)
3. Don't think so.
Someone mentioned Balme saying he is. But we've seen nothing.
Who knows. No one could work out if Christensen was contracted or not.........

I was thinking, having Fyfe in the team, and him being a role model for up and coming draftees must be a bonus to us. I remember seeing a few people modelling their game on him in previous drafts
'Get drafted to Freo and you get to learn from and play with Fyfe'
'Get drafted to Freo and you get to learn from and play with Fyfe'
Angus Brayshaw modelled his game on Fyfe.
Jack Watts wouldn't me ridiculed nearly half as much as he is if he was pick 13, unfortunately for him he was pick 1.He could also be Jack Watts
Very interesting! You would have to think that Simpson is now a delist and lets face it, his manager has already acknowledged this scenario.
I would think Freo would want to go a little deeper into the draft so I still think that Duffy is in the gun and whilst I perhaps don't rate Smith as highly as some others here, I think our lack of talls will save him. I also think that Vandeleur is now in danger, especially if we consider rookie listing Simpson and or Duffy.
What I don't know is if they would consider to cancel the contract of a player from left field like C Pearce, C Sylvia (lotta money to burn) or big Griff.

If Simpson is delisted, I reckon there's a decent chance we may jump early and select Garlett. I reckon though Duffy may go before Josh. I'm assuming that it still hasn't been confirmed that the Duff man hasn't officially signed an extension?

Yeah I'd love if we got Angus
He's a Freo supporter tooYeah I agree - the point was more looking at 'someone could have been pick 1 if they were more consistent' as a positive, where equally Tom could turn out like a #1 pick who has gone nowhere due to inconsistency (and poor development) - there's a bit of risk with Tom
Not sure if it's a reliable source but The West stated Duffy signed a one year contract extension:
"Forward Max Duffy has signed a one-year contract extension to remain at Fremantle next season..."
[https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/afl/a/25001136/de-boer-weighs-up-dockers-pay-cut]
Josh Simpson is the only one I can tell who is out of contract... Which means he'll probably be delisted (and hopefully re-drafted as a rookie).
This leaves us with just 3 picks in the draft. (13, 34, 54)

Has he finished growing?? Alex Pierce went from 189cm - 199cm in 1 year.

Yeah, maybe. It's a tough one, because if Ross is serious about moving Walters to the midfield, I thought Duffy showed enough to suggest he could replace him in the pocket. We all know Simpson is good enough to play AFL if he gets himself sorted out. We might see a left field delisting. Duffy might get rookied, but my feeling is if Josh gets delisted he'll be gone. I've said it a few times, but they either think he's going to work out or he won't and rookie listing him would (In my totally uneducated and ignorant opinion) only set him back. It's a tough one for the list managers alright.
If we are really thinking ahead, this could be great for us. Cats pick Pickett ahead of the egirls, then we get him coming home two years later. He is a big docker fan. ( we could trade MDB and Suban {joke}). Better he is at the Cattery than with the egirls.
Which Garlett?
