Can’t say I’ve seen this. Only Shifter Sheehan on the Road to the Draft phantom draft, and that was pure guesswork after the first two picks.
They'll extend. Suns are going to be a good team in a few years. They are stock piling a very handy group of young talent that in my opinion easily rivals the group they started with back in 2011. Ainsworth, Bowes, Ballard, Lukosius, Rankine, King, Rowell and Anderson plus picks 15, 20, a likely top 2 pick again next year plus academy prospects Davies and Jeffrey next year who are supremely talented. The AFL are overseeing their off field structures and the people in charge which are far superior to the off field systems/facilities/people they had back in 2011. They'll have another rough year next year I think but from 2021 onwards they'll start to show improvement and could play finals as soon as 2022 I reckon.

If I’m a team trading in a future first, for a first round pick this year, I’m looking for a team that I’m pretty confident will miss the top 8.
Most opposition supporters I've spoken to have the Hawks as a middle of the road team (6-12) so while it would be a bit of a gamble, if it pans out that way you'd still be 'winning'.
From a crows perspective, I'd consider trading 6 for 11 + hawks 2020 1st and we could even look at giving a later future pick (bulldogs 2020 2nd rounder we have) back with 6 as well. Hawks could then go to Geelong and offer 6 for 14 & 17 or maybe port do 12 & 18 for 6?
I'll beat ya, I've got him at 12
Gould has been playing SANFL league footy and doing well whereas most of the children in the draft have been playing under 18 and school footy.
Crows get pick 11 and a future 1st - pick 14 is too far down so I hope our club would not consider Geelong as a direct trade partner. The hawks then can use pick 6 to either go to the draft or it seems there are multiple clubs wanting to trade up so could set off an auction for it
Gould surely isn't getting past 22 now. Maybe Port will move first at 18.
I reckon there'll be a few they're keen on around that first. Weightman will head there if Melbourne doesn't grab him. I like his mongrel - and he fills a need for us.
