Yeah I know. The problem is that Melbourne doesnt want to according to reports. They want Young or Green (if GWS didnt match) and then they dont want to risk getting back Pick 6 and a high first round pick or even a first and a second future pick in return. The problem is that already Gold Coast have an extra at pick 11, Daniher will probably leave to Sydeny so they get a future first if that happens and on top of that their will be almost certainly uncertainty about what picks will end being pushed back after academy and father son bids. Unless a third team becomes involved I cant see it happening.

Adelaide is prob keen and four to six isn’t a big slide. Aside from Sydney they seem the biggest threat to putting in an early bid on Green.

If our mail close to the draft is an early bid on Henry with Melb (8/9) and Carlton (9/10) then I’d suggest we talk to Geelong and organise a trade so we get another late 1st round (10+22 > 14+17).

I would consider Jackson at 17/18 if he is still available which I doubt. According to shifty Sheehan the first 20 are quite even (after picks 1&2) then thins out into the second round but he still rates the talent overall as good as last year. Obviously the earlier the picks the better but McGuiness is a good chance for a bid around 18-21. So pick 22 will drop back at least two picks to 24. For our third pick I’d rather have pick 18/19 than 24/25.

If Henry gets an early bid in the top 10 so be it. He must be a gun.

Liking Flanders the most at the moment. We need goals.

Stephens look good. Maybe Jackson at 10(11)?

2468 you could argue that CRIPPS contains only 5 letters of the 26 in the alphabet.

Any highlights of Butters anywhere?

That's alright Wallsy. Trade week did look a bit stressful and Belly had some big bags to carry. Welcome back to Perth.

You could apply that same rule to the other names on that list - Fyfe, Bell, Kerr ... odd number of unique letters #Numerology

I'm really feeling it for Sharpe this year. And Stephens.

Ive been told from an East Fremantle source that Luke Jackson will be taken before pick 5. Could make our decisions abit easier.

This would shock me, so Melbourne or GWS want him bad because I cant see Adelaide or Sydney taking him

Have you ever not been shocked at any draft?

No one knows who the clubs value and how highly.

True dat, ruckman just never go that high anymore. They’d have to see him as playing elsewhere

 

[theGav56]

I think GWS is at least plausible, but I still can't see it actually happening.

I think GWS will take Jackson. They have everything else position wise pretty much. But..

Yep the last one taken in the top 10 was Longer , And look how that turned out.

Reckon Adelaide and GWS do a trade and GWS pick up Jackson at 4 and then match bid for Green at 5. Perhaps Adelaide keen on Dylan Stephens which they would select at 7 before Freo at 8.

Agree cheap as chips ruckman/forward to develop while the midfield pick up of Green makes complete sense to me.

Crows in a great position to trade with GWS, potential two first rounders for slipping from 4 to 6.
Sydney could do the same and get picks to satisfy Daniher trade

I’m surprised more noise isn’t being made around this. Surely Melbourne don’t draft another inside mid, their supporters would riot. GWS would have to be pretty confident 4 is sufficient, so why not do it for cheaper with Adelaide

JR Phantom Draft - Top 30

Damo tries his hand at predicting the top 30 selections at this year's AFL Draft. Who do you want your team to take with their first pick?

I dont know who this writer is,,, just found in google search.

I’ve read from a few people/Journalists that Melbourne haven’t been too keen to trade down. They were originally looking for two top ten picks as a swap for 3 but they have achieved two top 10 picks another way. I think they like pick 3 now.

Also I remember this article from a couple of months ago (pretty impressed I actually found it) about Adelaide and their first pick:

AFL trades 2019: Adelaide, St Kilda both set to put top draft picks on the table in trade period

Two clubs throw top draft picks on the table in bold trade plays

I don’t think Melbourne will bid on Henry. Brave to do so considering the affiliation he has with WA and freo. The board and fans will be concerned they threw away their 2020 first pick if we decide to not match a bid and Henry is keen to return home from Melbourne in the short term. Heads would roll. Same as Carlton.

The Giants have four rucks already,two old and two young.
