If the AFL give Brisbane a priority pick, it will be tantamount to the AFL conceding they didn't help the club enough in the past. Making amends, however it impacts other clubs.

Interesting to see Gil praise the R23 bye.

I am starting to think Gil is losing the battle and is resorting to BS to save face and hide his errors.

They should have found a way to stop North in the future from resting half their side in R23, and they should not have been so blatant in helping GC at the expense of Brisbane.

Is there another major sporting code in the world who change things every year? AFL I am sorry is starting to become a boring joke.

Same old sides win every year. Hawks keep being powerful now its through exploiting FA and yet the AFL do nothing to stop it.

Not sure the AFL could justify giving a first round priority pick to a club that didn't finish last...
True enough. I think they will certainly get a priority pick based on what they have (or have not) achieved in the past few years in addition to the AFL dialogue on the matter. I am happy for them to pick up a pick just as long as it isnt pick 1 or 2. Start of the 2nd round would be fine, I dont think we will be that disadvantaged having our 2nd rounder slide down one spot.

I tolds youse all, he is going to be okay.

Freo need some tall timber down the spine especially as Pav is now gone.
They will get Hogan and McCarthy I reckon so I dont think this will be a priority when they get to the draft. They will have to give up their 1st rounder for Hogan so I think it will be more a matter of what Melbourne needs, and they will most certainly need to replace Hogan.

I'll make it a bit easier. Harry perryman -GWS. Should get an early bid. Knightmare has him top 4. This will cost GWS probably their first and second if that happens. Moving us up 1. Not to mention will setterfield going early too for GWS.

Jack Bowes GC. If it doesn't cost their first rounder at pick 4 it could force one of their seconds if it lines up that way giving us another position of it takes more than one. And it should.

Brad sheer (GC) first round and Kony Mutch (GWS) first round

That's probably all the first round quality.

GC's pick 9 can virtually pay for an entire bid at 5, with their pick 21 shifting down two positions to pick 23, meanwhile their pick 22 becomes pick 21.

They lose one position in the second round in your scenario, something they would welcome because pick 4 was live.

If Perryman went at 4 (big if), GWS' pick 7 would pay for it.

If we want to keep pick 5 and next years first rounder, we are going to have to get creative... All the players at GWS etc aren't going to leave for a bunch of third rounders.

Willem Drew was a name that I read somewhere in a recent review that sounded like he was a bloke on a serious mission, hasn't got the hype or plaudits as some of the others but is shaping as one that may be a very handy pick-ups.

Caveat - I haven't seen any footage of him playing, just read some stuff on him.
Saw him in a couple of champ matches. Looked a good player. But I thought he was a bit skinny to drop straight into the AFL. But that could change in a pre-season.

Is he the guy that's the tackling machine?

If so, then sounds like he might play ok even if skinny (sometimes intent counts for as much as size) and then could be a real handful after a couple of pre-seasons.

I think thats him... the bigger boys were brushing him off... but he could nail and stick a tackle. Thats one of the reasons I like Worpel for 2017... he played this year as an under-ager... and he was smashing them in tackles. Another 12 months and I reckon he is going to be very dangerous!

Looks a player already, he's one of the many reasons why we shouldn't be trading any of our future picks.

Rave reviews about him Soapy, is still young but has only played 7 games in the last 2 seasons due to injuries, sound familiar? Unless he does a Plowman and comes on pretty quickly we may not know his full talent for a couple of seasons if he were to head our way.
