From !istening to Taylor in that interview it sounded like we could be looking to trade down with one of our picks rather than up given he said something along the lines of "we will see what calls come to us on the night"

Yeah, we are in the perfect spot to catch some sliders and clubs might get desperate to get a particular player. Wouldn't be surprised if we get a future 1st for 18/19 from one of the better sides.
 
I’m hoping for Bailey Laurie and Jack Carroll.

If Holmes makes it to our third pick then great.

That’d be a small forward with good ball use who can float into the middle, a versatile young big bodied back flanker with a good kick and a fast paced athletic tall wingman who is potentially good value due to limited exposure.

Stunned Cox isn't projected to be a top 10 pick. Can we trade up and take him please.
A very tantalising prospect. 200cm, sub 3 second 20m, endurance machine who can consistently hit targets by foot. What's his downside? Probably rooted some bird on a school camp or something.

I really hope the club does another draft night video again. I really liked the one from last year (with the additional insights we got during the 'To Hell and Back' series).

In terms of using picks, I'd like to see us bring guys in this year as opposed to next. Having another 3 top 35 picks to add to Jackson, Pickett and Rivers gives us a good core of high-end picks coming up behind Petracca/Brayshaw/Oliver/Weid. Taylor's gonna smash this draft, I can feel it!

Yea that was fantastic. I've watched last year's one a few times.

Bailey Smith said the same thing, but his sooky attitude hasn't stopped him from being a gun.

It's stupid Perkins came out on radio and said it publically but if he somehow slides to our pick I'd definitely take him on talent alone.

Seems to be a bit of a Vic Metro thing

Chad Wingard also refused to be drafted anywhere but Adelaide, turned out to be bullshit.

Bailey Smith hasn't achieved anything yet, thats a much bigger red flag to me than messing up a little bit pre draft.
 
I'd also rather a rough around the edges country kid (Clarry eating chicken nuggets and drink driving) than a blue-blooded, entitled private school kid, if we had to choose between the two.

The Wingard example is probably a good one, he refused to be drafted anywhere else then seemingly grew up enough to understand a better future probably existed for him at the Hawks, away from Adelaide.

Kids can change. Gotta back your "system/kulture/journey" to get the most out of the talented kids, despite how challenging they are.

As a private school kid, I can say that we have tried our best to be less entitled. Private Schools have now removed the excursion to Monaco for year 10s and they have replaced the Moet at lunchtime with Prosecco. Talk about country battlers!!!

Exactly, I want the kids who can face their issues even if there's a few of them, not the ones who are already choosing to run away from them at 18.
 
I don't give a **** what Archie told reporters, fact is he's a flakey midfielder/forward from Brighton Grammar who played with the Sandringham Dragons.

I don't want another (FAKE) Jack Watts, just give me the Jack Watts that tastes like real Jack Watts.

Holmes is very athletic and a very good runner. Although I feel he falls under the umbrella of “ athlete” that could turn into a footballer.

At what pick are they forecasting we will use for him??

That’s not accurate at all. He is a very good footballer. Played juniors at the same club as my son (Prahran) and was always the best player in the team. He can absolutely play but he is also a great runner. His younger brother is a star too and will be very surprised if he doesn’t get drafted when his time comes in a few years.
 
Just heard the Archie Perkins audio grab on SEN1116. If he doesn't feel ready to travel and feels he won't be able to give 100% if he has to that's fine but perhaps he should not enter the draft until he is ready.

You'd be making your way over to him as an opposition player every game he plays interstate and condescendingly ask if he's missing his mum etc surely.
 
I dont see the problem with an 18year old saying he doesn't want to up and move. the oh its the AFL bullshit argument is trash. no different to players wanting to come home after a year or 2. Mental health and all but how dare an 18year think he would struggle not being around friends and family. I'd take him cause he is being an honest campaigner over some Terry tough campaigner who thinks he shits gold

Hes bloody inspiring mate. 🙄

Na, this whole forcing yourself to where you want to go NBA bullshit makes me sick. If you're not willing to go anywhere don't nominate.
