So envious we don’t have access to Irving Mosquito.

Heard along the grape vine LDU is number 1 on our board. Followed by brayshaw then Dow.

However don't think we'll end up with pick 1. Like I've said team expect he unexpected this trade period.

Our list team has been putting in the work this year.

Brayshaw jumping to 2 is huge, surely not. But also think it would be the right call to downgrade pick 1, since the top 5/6 are pretty much even to me.

I think I'll jump on board this "we're a destination club" broad brush thing. Then I can pretend I was alluding to whatever surprise trades we end up doing,

Really torn between Dow and Stephensen. Looked at a few more Youtube clips and the thing that l keep looking at is Stephensen's disposal. They aren't good from what l have seen. Dow's isn't great but still better imo. While Stephenson might have more x-factor, there is just something about Dow that l think will be a Lion next year, over stephensen and the rest

The thing with Stephenson is that he turns it over a lot even in his highlights. Probably not a great sign.

Expect the unexpected... Jack Watts?

Im all in for LDU. Good size, genuine mid, can take a mark up forward. Has a great all round game, runs hard and is smart. Has performed well in the bigger games as well. Not sure who we go for at 12, wouldnt mind a Hunter Clark type, but perhaps someone with some genuine zip and speed would be nice.

 

[jackess]

I think similar to last year with Clugg at 3 and Berry at 13 with 1 and 12 this year we go for a safer, well rounded option like Berry and another with more upside but deeper flaws like Clugg.

Would Stephenson be the high upside option?

Why don't we try for a trio of Dandenong Stingrays.
1. LDU
12. Hunter Clark
18. Aiden Bonar

Pick 19 can be used to trade for Charlie Cameron.

Pick 42 we use to match a bid on Ballenden.

I like LDU for #1 and Clark at #12 too, didn't even realise they were Stingrays teammates. Bonus

 

[SizeMatters]

Stephenson is a high risk high reward and I don't think we are in a position to take that risk with our current group. Will probably be a bit bigger than Whitefield in body shape (just can't see him ever being strong enough to hold his own consistently in the AFL) and blokes like that need a mature midfield to play consistently well. Stephenson has two things you cant teach though and that's natural footy smarts and some pace. Will be a long term prospect but if everything clicks he could be a serious player... but I don't think he is worth the risk at pick 1.

With Rocky leaving though I would definitely take a risk with one of the late teens picks and I think Bonar would be a great pick up. Like Stephenson he has some risks but I think it would be more palatable to spend pick 19 on a high risk high reward prospect than pick 1.

Really warming to LDU with pick 1 from the vision I've seen. Great in traffic, clean below his knees, good kick, hits the scoreboard and will be ready to play round 1.

Lock it in Eddie.

Lol thinking that. Looks like hodge opposite him on the laptop too - it’s not I know but geez I needed a second glance.
Must be Dom Ambrogino next to fagan closest to the camera.

Footy is natural to them though.

So they should come to Brisbane because we haven't had 30000 for quite some time.
