We have picks 1,2 and 4.KPD
Young Ruck
Now comes the tricky part. Who leaves to create the list space? Will Barry O'Connor have progressed enough to be a KPD? Lachlan McAndrew to be a rookie ruck?
Who will be best available at (say) pick 10? Almost certainly a mid. What's coming through the academy?
Geez I'm glad it's Kinnear and Simon doing this and not me!!!
This is the good and the bad
The good.
We got 3 players through the draft that came straight into best 22 and starred.
We also had a traded in ruck that went straight into best 22.
4 players into best 22.
The bad.
3 players have to leave the best 22.
My take.
Kennedy-aging. Has Warner and Rowbottom and Parker and hewett and.....
ORiordan-Irish, 26years but only played 23 games. Not the future.
Bell/Ronke/Amartey/Brand/Sinclair
It is getting harder every year. We have lots of quality coming in but not much experienced players will go out over the next 3-4 years. Its creating a squeeze. And that will be good.
There are going to be some very good players playing ressies. Some may give up and seek a trade or a go home to get a game.
Think we need to shop mostly for significant improvement or for the long term or we risk tearing the group apart.
All clubs will face the same problem.

Merrett and Bolton I think we can approximate with some of the pieces we already have (maybe not to the same level). Oliver would be a real point of difference and ideal for us imo.

Wondering if we're keeping an eye on this one
The decision comes as a handful of clubs continue to monitor the development of athletic 202cm ruckman and Giants academy member Jack Driscoll, who will turn 19 next week and was among the standouts for the Murray Bushrangers in a NAB League practice match last month

Mccartin not on the radar to become the KPD we've been looking for?
I think he looks the goods for it. But he needs a partner and melican hasn't quite inspired me tbh

Corey Warner will go Top 20.
Would we use our 1st on another mid?

No matter what happens I’m backing in our draftng
another year (or two) at the draft please... not trading.
Id much rather see our young players get games, much rather pay them than pay someone else overs to come to Sydney
We've got young players like Hayward, Ling, Gould, Rowbum, Stephens, who are favs of mine and didn't play last game. If we trade in an Oliver, Merrett or Bolton, then we can add one of Blakey, JMac, Warner, Florent, Campbell, Wicks, Gulden etc to that list.

We will get pick 18 and so it depends how many compo picks will push us back and we might miss him!

Nice to see the famous NMFC#wishboner spirit livii
Really need a young true ruck prospect.
If his health holds up Paddy Mac would really help. Can also play down back.

We do need another inside mid. If he is an inside mid I think he would be in consideration.
In saying that though I think it is time to begin considering drafting a ruckman with an early pick.
On another note, looking at McCartin a part of me would love to see us drafting Paddy and sending him into defence. If he is half the defender his brother is then it would fix our issues with defensive height.

Replacement for rampe , a running KD
McLean can be somewhat a replacement for Reid if he stays around
No replaces a champion like Franklin
A classy mid IMO or a Oliver type

I think we have been trying but like most things it's all about timing and the time might be this year, unless we win the flag then all bets are off as it changes everything.

Offset a bit by not all clubs likely to have a pick.
From an article today about a young ruck;
Dragons' 202cm ruck prospect stands tall as mid-season draft option
Clubs are looking at Jacob Edwards as a potential pick, not to fulfill any role at AFL level in 2021 but as a long-term investment
www.afl.com.au
I think it was rustycrate (in his Bear31 ) incarnation that suggested the club could pick up a young ruck in the mid-season draft as they would have had a chance to show their wares in the various underage comps.
Certainly worthwhile considering.
Our two biggest list needs are a youngish KPP or Ruck (not combo). Supposedly the 2021 draft is good for mids but not so much for them, so if we can pick someone up (eg Paddy McCartin) that might be a very good move.Offset a bit by not all clubs likely to have a pick.

If all goes perfectly....
Paddy McCartin joins Swans in the mid season draft - goes on to fulfil his potential as a KPF
Barry OConnor develops into an elite, high flying, quick, tall, agile, intercepting KPD
Joel Amartey develops into a short ruck but with a huge leap and elite speed. The quintessential modern day Ruck.
We'll know by the draft
