[Bardo State]

Has been consistent that he sees Reid, Cox, Perkins, Campbell as overrated by others while Callow, Berry, McInness, Phillips he sees as underrated.

 

[TheFourPillars]

I still like Bruhn

I still like Bruhn

I would be happy with him/Phillips.

Loves Phillips.

I do think that Callow could prove to be a handy acquisition, however we do have more pressing needs at the moment.

 

[Slysh]

I have already followed Phillips on instagram so i guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

I respect that he doesn't follow the crowd. He genuinely makes his own calls and is willing to disagree with the masses. In my view he seems to focus far too conservatively on proven U18 performance and too little on upside. But he watches a lot of U18 footy so it's another useful resource.

 

[Hawker55]

I would be really disappointed if we wasted pick 4 on Perkins.

there is no way we go speculative. We will take best available.

 

[Billyc]

It’s all a bit speculative this year unless we get McDonald, Thilthorpe or DGB. Everyone else we might look at haven’t played this year

 

[Bardo State]

I do think that Callow could prove to be a handy acquisition, however we do have more pressing needs at the moment.

The potential value in Callow is that he could still be on the board by our third pick.

 

[Rocket72]

Why, he's a respected poster, who comprehensively covers the draft, continues to offer some insight and is someone who doesn't get involved in the moronic BigFooty knob swinging contests.

Didn't think advertising on here was accepted. I'm certainly not interested nor want to see it.

 

[Rocket72]

You thought wrong, Rocket.

wow my original post was deleted. SO you can advertise on here but you can't ask if it's ok to advertise. I've learnt something today.

Downie?

 

[Pessimistic]

AFL mock draft handed us DGB ‘cos the hawks can’t ever have enough defenders’

we have one drafted defender already, defenders tend to be other positions in rep footy

OK best available but defenders is our least light area

 

[Bardo State]

Downie?

Depends where bids come. 24 will go out but 45, 46 and 49 will come in. If a bid for Downie comes in after 24 (27-30 by that stage) then even 49 will come in to the low 40s, which is where I'm seeing Callow land in a few phantoms.

Yeah solid lockdown Defenders are easy to find in free agency/trade like a Hartigan that can be a FB in a premiership team. Defence is a team game anyway. We hardly allow 1 on 1s in defence we always have another man helping out. We need a classy mid that can go up fwd and cause damage.

 

[LRobbo]

Yeah they will finish top 8 still IMO, unless the players give up on Buckley.

Mate they only just fell in this year, take away the 3 best 22 and the hit the cultures taken, they’ll be bottom 6, and it’s all self inflicted

 

[KermitJagger]

Really?

They don't exactly instill a lot of confidence. Stephenson, Treloar and Phillips gone from their Best 22, Pendles set to be 33 and surely won't continue to perform at his normal level, no substantial improvements in their list to offset it. Not sure their list is that good in the harsh light of day.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

LOL they missed Sidebottom, De Goey and Howe for large parts of the season, way to much is been made of losing 3 of their best 22 as they had a horrific injury run.

The culture argument is an interesting one, if the players give up on Buckley they'll struggle.

Anyone who knows/reads the Draft and Trading board knows eDPs’ work as a valued contributor to draft and under 18 discussion.

Keep an eye out on N.Cox could be taken with our 2nd pick, A lil bit of interest from within.
I have seen his highlights but don't know much about him.
Fits your description plays in other positions.

Yeah I'd be surprised if he was available at the time of our 2nd pick unless we find a way to trade down.

Will be gone WAY before our second mate

Agree, might be part of the plan
