West AdelaideI reckon GC need Gibcus...I wwould love us to get Mac Andrew, have said this all along .....but if there's a silver lining, Callaghan drops another spot .....but what is GC's major need ?

West AdelaideA KPD ....yes, wouldn't argue that call either ....particularly with a dearth talls.I reckon GC need Gibcus...
I mean, GC could obviously do with Callaghan, they still need to stockpile their midfield talent. That said, Gibcus would slot in nicely next to Collins, but would they take a KPD that high?I would love us to get Mac Andrew, have said this all along, he has "special" traits .....but if there's a silver lining, Callaghan drops another spot .....but what is GC's major need ?

I asked this question last page. There’s talk from watchers that GWS need a tall back. Is 2 too high for Gibcus?A KPD ....yes, wouldn't argue that call either ....particularly with a dearth talls.
Do teams reach for the best KPP available ?
Mac Andrew was the rumourI asked this question last page. There’s talk from watchers that GWS need a tall back. Is 2 too high for Gibcus?
I have him as the 4th best tall in the pool (behind Darcy, Amiss, Andrew), but nothing would surprise me from this far out. GWS have Taylor, but I guess they’ll need a long-term partner for himI asked this question last page. There’s talk from watchers that GWS need a tall back. Is 2 too high for Gibcus?
James Willis if we're lucky might sneak through to our later picks, IMO he's the sleeper in the SA midfielder group regards fanfare. Cooper Murley would also be a nice pick up with a later pick if he slips through to one of our later picks given I think pick 23 and a 2022 sweetener could be where we land with DawsonI don't want Callahan. Not for talent but I just get a strong go home vibe.
Sure we might get something appropriate but just look at the Rankine is only worth a 2nd rounder talk
Happy with Goater. He just seems to find space.
If we can also do Roberts/Draper somewhere along the line -unlikely- then that's a great future
Heck, Petracca is a turnover merchant, going at a tick above 50% by foot.
West AdelaideFrom my viewings of Draft convo's .....only reason Mac Andrew was considered around pick 20, was due to him being so thinI mean, GC could obviously do with Callaghan, they still need to stockpile their midfield talent. That said, Gibcus would slot in nicely next to Collins, but would they take a KPD that high?
Rendell could be full of it, too - re: the GWS part that is, definitely feasible Mac goes top 5
Do we reckon Murley makes it to Melb’s 2nd and/or the Kelly compo, considering his lack of exposure this year? I’d pick him there in a heartbeatJames Willis if we're lucky might sneak through to our later picks, IMO he's the sleeper in the SA midfielder regards fanfare. Cooper Murley would also be a nice pick up with a later pick if he slips through to one of our later picks given I think pick 23 and a 2022 sweetener could be where we land with Dawson
I hope we make a play for it, their list is stacked so may want to trade it for a 2nd next year.Gold Coast get to keep their pick 19....because....AFL.....
fu**s sake
Talent is obviously a huge part of the equation, but you have to make sure the application is there, too - not just training and conditioning, but having the dedication to honing their craft in a particular positionFrom my viewings of Draft convo's .....only reason Mac Andrew was considered around pick 20, was due tim being so thin
Made the cardinal mistake of overlooking talent .....now the draft watchers are having to change their tune
Last year Nik Cox was also too low on Draft Boards .....due again, what position does Cox play? ....his talent again not given enough weight
West AdelaideTotally agree ....but that's the key missing aspect that none of us really have a clue about .....motivation, dedication, flight risk ect .....and in part, that's why the current Draft Boards will be volatileTalent is obviously a huge part of the equation, but you have to make sure the application is there, too - not just training and conditioning, but having the dedication to honing their craft in a particular position
This is what someone like Cox is going to have to figure out - he was an absolute unicorn this year, but where does he play going forward? Forward, back or wing? Still up in the air, it seems
Or use top 5 ish draft picks in this draft and next seems the best way and most available wayKeays is that type, just doesn't have the finishing ability.
Those 2 you mentioned are certainly in that mould, might have to hit the FA market to find another and build a solid group of soldiers around them.
Yep a good call , he will have plenty of time on the wing but we can also develop him inside as he has the toolsJordan Dawson? I readily have no feel on how good he is. But is a big bodied midfielder if we plan on playing him in the midfield
That is a huge Longshot , a solid best 22 player is the first step after missing 2 seasons and struggling a bit before thatWe need to develop Milera into that player
He’s still developing though Bicks and developing fast as well as putting on size . I’ve seen him lay 24 tackles in a game at NEAFL level and I’ve got no doubt he can start to go inside the centre square in the next few years as he reaches peak physical maturityNot sure how many on here have watched Jordan Dawson play but if you're expecting him to come in and be a dominant midfielder you're going to be disappointed I think. Contested ball is not his strength, his abilities are best used outside of the contest just like the Swans have cottoned onto.
Jordan Dawson is tall at 192cm but he is definitely not big bodied, Nathan Fyfe is the same height and he's 10kg heavier, Christian Petracca is 6cm shorter and 10kg heavier, Lachie Neale is 15cm shorter and around the same weight.
