Really Cal? He was taking it easy for a lot of the session even running away from the bump bag just to be cheeky. I thought a lot of the talls took the session the most seriously.

Yep.

Fox has us using four picks

North Melbourne: 2, 11, 30, 39, 71, 81 (likely to use four picks)

A record-low number of picks will be used on AFL draft night. Here’s how many your club could use

If we use 4 picks how much list space do we have left?

According to the media if we use four picks then we'll have four players on the list going into 2021.

I was expecting 5 which would take us to the minumum of 36. If we're taking 4, that means we're possibly taking a DFA.

 

[Smoocher]

I reckon they take McDonald but you'd be mad not to consider the go home factor.

West Coast and Freo will be making contact as soon as the ink on his first contract is dry - both are going to be in the market for a key forward from as early as 2022. He can say he wants to be a one club player now but wait until that first big contract is on the table from those clubs.

Not to mention cushy $100k jobs for all family members taken care of by the Eagles Coterie groups.

I like his focus.
Hopefully the footy doesn't hit him in the head.
I wonder if he was born in late April or early May?
It's a shame he doesn't live on the opposite side of town.

Is that a Mason Wood

reference?

 

[CURVE]

So pay your draftee an extra $10k, you gotta keep WB accountable. You must think in terms of limiting the opposition’s list build. You don’t want them getting unnecessarily stronger


I’m sure that can be explained to a draftee

The best option would be to select Campbell with either pick 1 or 2. That would throw Sydney’s draft strategy into disarray.

 

[Phillyroo]

For sure.

I would prefer Cox and Reid over him because of some of his personal circumstances, the others being from Vic and both being possible full KPD size.

That does't mean we couldn't use a quality young 6"4 intercepting defender.

I actually think most in the AFL industry consider him the best intercepting defender after DGB. Reid and Cox have other skillsets and are both 200cm, which probably elevate them only just above him.

Personal circumstances??

 

[The Dingrel]

When was the last KPP in draft who is any good? So many wasted picks.

Hogan. No
Weitering. No.
Boyd. No.
Patton. No
McCartin. No
Watts. No
(No doubt others like Hansen for us just a battler but ok enough)

Kings - look ok. Still to be proven though.

McKay looks good.

It's a minefield at the top it seems.

yeah, but who of them dominated state league as a teenager? I think that projects pretty well, particularly once you put them in a professional environment.

I'm more than happy with McDonald.

Just hope we nail it unlike so many others who I've listed.

 

[Pykie]

Personal circumstances??

He has a special needs brother in WA he is very close to.

 

[The Dingrel]

I was listening to a podcast that said Adelaide won't bid on JUH, as it would take away the shine from their first draftee.

Number 1 draftee is a great for marketing and they wouldn't want him to feel like he was forever second place.

It made sense to me, but also means it could be up to us to keep doggies honest. How do ppl feel about bidding on JUH and pushing our guy to third?

fine, there's no 10k or difference between 2 or 3. Just like LDU was the best player in his draft year. No difference if he was 2 or 4, people only remember Cam Rayner was 1.

Sorry mate I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about Ford.

Some of these blokes have matured massively physically since their videos. It really is a full lottery

And I reckon if LDU was one and CR 4, we’d be wrapt how our bloke is tracking and Bris and footy world underwhelmed, with exactly same output.
I friggin luv that we got LDU, he’s gunna be awesome, but there is a massive gulf of difference in the judgement of pick 1 V 4

We've already got one. His name is Nick Larkey

. He's grossly underrated on this board. He's miles ahead of Petrie at the same age in terms of forward craft. I predict that Larkey will be in the top 3 or 4 key forwards in the comp in a couple of years. Hollands or a Perkins type will accelerate our rebuild.

Hope you are right

Saw him on the news G.R. Bigger than l thought.

He's going to be a unit when he fills out.

Any prospective QLD draftees on our radar ?
