Given how Liningston talked about guys like Ross there is no way known we are trading them. Ross has to play as an inside mid from now on
I guess if we don’t draft mids we’ll know pretty early what the plan is for next year.

I’m assuming we are looking for mids but there is Gibcus, Andrew, Amiss, JVR, Aleer, Williams etc.
 
im happy to let the professionals sort it,as long as we dont waste one of our first 3 picks on a small fwd type like Jack Higgins
still cant believe we chose to use that pick on another 5'9 small fwd when wed just won the flag with Butler,Castagna,Rioli,Lambert and an up n coming Bolton
Not a lot to choose from, the same could be applied to CCJ

one out of 3 aint bad :(
- Sam Taylor, Oscar Allen, Tom McCartin, Lyan Ryan, Bailey Fritsch
Lucky we do better with our Rookie picks as opposed to our draft picks. Hopefully we don't waste our 4-5 pick this year.
It is a great unknown, they make not make the step up to AFL (Silky Butterfly) or injury could strike.
 
They said no to 7 & 15 for 4 and 23 I think.
I reckon they're a chance at Callaghan at 4 otherwise they'd do well to go Wanganeen at 7 and Dawson at 15 depending how they rate Hately as an inside mid.
 
If we end up with 7 15 17 26 & 28 in the draft here is my current preferred options for each pick.

7 - Ben Hobbs 183cm 80kg Inside Midfielder

The kid just knows how to get first hands on the footy and when put in an AFL system should only improve on that. Would be a nice 1-2 punch alongside the bigger RCD at the coalface and would also allow the likes of Graham Ross & Dow to play more of a hybrid role.

15 - Jacob Van Rooyen 195cm 91kg KPP

With Chol and CCJ departing there is a glaring hole as a young developing KPF. Van Rooyen already has a decent size about him and has shown he can hit the scoreboard with consistency. Would be a perfect foil for Lynch when Jack moves on.

17 - Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera 187cm 70kg Outside Midfielder

NWM provides that touch of class on the outside that would have Lynch & Jack/JVR quite excited as they led up to the ball carrier. A little on the skinny side, we've got time to allow him to hit the gym and put on some size. With the likes of the Riolis Bolton Stack Pickett Parker as mentors the kid would have plenty of support around him.

26 - Rhett Bazzo 195cm 81kg KPD

With our current KPD stocks being an aging Tarrant Balta Miller (1 game) & Nyoun (0 games) I think it's important to bring in another young option that we can develop over the next couple of years for when Tarrant retires. Bazzo is a capable shutdown defender, who can also take intercept marks as well.

28 - Jack Williams 195cm 91kg KPF

From 15 games at WAFL colts level Williams kicked 40.24 while averaging 14 disposals & 6 marks a game. Alongside Van Rooyen it would be a similar tactic to what the Hawks did with Buddy and Roughy all those years ago when they brought in a couple of young KPPs to develop even though they still have some serviceable types running around.

If we could some how manage to pick up these 5 our mini rebuild/refresh will be in great shape as we would have addressed a number of areas that are currently big weaknesses in terms of our developing talent.


Under that scenario, Port have pick 16, I think theyd be far more likely to draft Wanganeen - Milera that Van Rooyen, they dont need another tall they already have Georgiadous who cant get a game in best 22. Much more likely for them to take the local boy. I think if JVR is there at 15 he will still be there at 17.

Using the same logic, unless NWM is the player we would be after, the player we'd take next would also be available at 17 and if we were to take NWM, could that cause Port to take best available? Remember that Port are looking to ship Ladhams out and Dixon doesn't have much longer left now he's 31.
If JVR is the player we think is the best option, just take him

Yeah didn't look at it that way, you're probably right.
 
Sounds like a good character, a hard runner, hard worker and tackles and gets a bit of the ball. So a type we might like.

But clearly must be some significant flaws in his game to miss out on Vic Metro/combine invites.

It would be his kicking which was gently alluded to I'd imagine. Otherwise he has all the traits.

No way would i give up Pickett for a pick in the 30's
He has another 2 - 3 years left and is playing a position we currently dont have depth
Not to mention in 62 more games we will have 3 boys available under the father son. you never see these boys without a footy in their hands and marlion jnr is nearly 11 years old a believe
That's what makes Marlion the super sub for as many games as he likes for the next three/four years ! Lol
 
I alluded to the fact both GWS and GC like the same players in the top echelon of picks. Mac Andrew and Josh Gibcus. If GWS blinks and trades pick 2 even for pick 4, GC will nab Andrew who I am 90% sure GWS rate higher. So hence why I am seeing that those clubs say now won't trade out of their spots. For now.

I still think GC at Pick 3 (5) once draft night hits if Andrew is gone may shuffle back as I don't think Adelaide, Hawthorn or Fremantle will take Gibcus.

So there may be a possibility we could get that trade done draft night, 3 and something for 7 and something.

Let's see how this plays out. Just my take.
