Even when I read the new rules I doubt my interpretation of them.You may be right
I may be crazy
I do wish there was a very clear and simple statement of the rules we can work from.

It probably depends on our draft.Really wondering when/if they’ll announce Paddy? I know he’s not a gun but I really think he’s what we need for some forward depth. As much as I love Buddy I’d be surprised if he plays more than 2/3 games next year and that’s pushing it.

You think Logan McDonald is worth two first round picks, one of them Pick 3 and the other most likely a top 10 pick?Any chance we could upgrade pick 3? Getting adelaides pick 1 would be a stretch purely from a marketing point of view but on field it makes sense. At our 3 they in all likelyhood would still land their number 1 target and get a future first from us.
Same as norf. I know it’s overs but would they take a future first for a 1 pick downgrade? Even pick 2 would nearly guarantee us mcdonald
May not require a first, could be a second. If there was ever a time to go all in on a draft it’s now. We are desperate for a key forwardYou think Logan McDonald is worth two first round picks, one of them Pick 3 and the other most likely a top 10 pick?
We are better off having Pick 3 and our first round pick next year. McDonald could still fall to us at pick 3.
Thanks for this Bear, nice and clear. I would have probably had just Pick 3 where you have Phillips as that's still unknown.This appear to be where we are at pre draft.
I have put 3 draft picks on the list as we will probably draft 3. Who exactly they will be will be determined on draft night.
With Fox and Gray now on the Rookie List it takes our list total to 42.
We can have a maximum list size of 44. So it will be probably 2 more rookies.
We still have the wild card E Taylor who is due to be sentenced on 6-dec I believe. Unsure what that means for our list. Is he kept or paid out. Who knows.

Perfect for this board! LOL!!!
Maybe he's tanking interviews deliberately? Always rumours about kids trying to force their way into their home stateSo apparently the Phillips family are very confident he will be in Victoria next year. Clubs wouldn't have given a commitment to any players (besides perhaps academy/NGA/father-son prospects), so if Phillips is under that impression 2 weeks out from the draft, it would suggest there hasn't been any real interest from the interstate clubs in his range (Swans, Crows, Suns.)
On a recent road to the draft episode, Phillips was talking about how he went to the same school as Clarkson's daughter and would prefer to stay in Melbourne.
The Hawks will win a lot of the ball but not much else if their mids are Titch, Worpel and Phillips.Which sounds worrying.
Swan Districts defender Denver Grainger-Barras responds to Sydney Swans link
Jordan McArdle
The West Australian
Boom WA draft prospect Denver Grainger-Barras can “definitely” see himself slotting in seamlessly at Sydney if he’s snapped up with pick three, but would be grateful for an opportunity anywhere.
The Swan Districts intercept-marking machine has been linked with the Swans’ top pick since season’s end, with veteran recruiter Matt Rendell predicting the club will swoop on him.

“I’d be grateful for any opportunity but I feel like Sydney is an amazing club that I could definitely see myself slotting in fairly seamlessly,” Grainger-Barras told The West Australian.
“If Sydney were to give me an opportunity, I’d be extremely grateful and you can guarantee that I’d dive into that experience head first really.
“In terms of whether I go pick three, four, five, six or anything lower, it doesn’t really matter to me.
“I think the important thing is that you get given the opportunity and regardless of what pick you are, you’re going to put the exact same amount of attention and effort into it.”
Grainger-Barras has been in the top-five draft mix since his stunning national under-18s carnival as a bottom-ager, where he helped WA to their first title in a decade.
The 18-year-old was rewarded with a league debut at the Swans soon after before he sustained a season-ending shoulder injury.
The 194cm talent bounced back this year to play every game in the seniors, something he feels will hold him on good stead for his goal of playing AFL in his debut season in 2021.
“I feel like I need to put on a lot more weight to be able to hold up against a lot of today’s AFL forwards,” Grainger-Barras said.
“But a massive goal of mine would be to debut next year and to then hold my spot. Getting there is one thing, but to stay there is the other part.
“I’ve definitely got challenges and goals that I want achieve but playing senior footy this year for Swan Districts has helped me in terms of the physicality and understanding the areas of my game in order to hold up at the highest level.”
Grainger-Barras has loved the experienced of meeting with AFL recruiters, with nearly every one of the league’s 18 clubs getting in touch.

“I also met Don Pyke who’s going to be at Sydney as an assistant coach, he was previously at Adelaide so I was asking him about the challenges he faced there.
“I use all these little opportunities to gain as much knowledge as I can, I find it extremely rewarding.”
