Only one of them's a premiership player and Salrm was not as skinnyGood size beautiful skills athletic footy smarts
Salem Gaff Hill Whitfield had the same comments prior to being drafted

He may take a while to establish himself, but his highlights reel looks amazing. Especially his kicking and decision-makingNasiah Wanganeen-Milera is looking like top 10 pick now

Who knows if he still has connections but this would be a good result for us. Finn would fall into our laps if we do the trade.

IMO it has "Tigers are keen on Stocker" written all over it, in recent yrs we have been linked to a name & it turns out that's about the 1 player we wouldn't take it he made it to our pick.We haven’t leaked our hand early for a few years now, and definitely have no reason now with a high pick.

Is he a pharmacist?Goater will be gone by 15, Essendon posters talking up about targeting him
I assume a proposed trade for GCS' pick 3, which will slide to Pick 5 after Father Son bidsWere did we get pick 5 from
Callaghan v Ward? It’s such a tough one to split for me
Starting to think he’s the safe pick (assuming he gets through to us).I like the looks of Ward, we need a Zac Merret / Tom Mitchell style ball magnet, running machine.
Has he got the feel of Reece Conca about him?The most I’ve seen of him is his highlights compared to other high draftees. I can only form an opinion from what I have seen/what other people have said, but Ben Hobbs’ highlights don’t necessarily disprove what Knightmare said. Therefore, I can’t make a call on whether he’s bullcrapping. Another person on the draft board that does the same work as Knightmare (their username is something like EDPs I think) have Hobbs ranked at a similar position as well from what I have checked last.
The thing is that I am left amazed and in awe with the highlights reel of Ward, Darcy, Horne, Daicos, and Gallaghan. That’s what I think you’d want to feel when seeing the highlights of a player at around pick 3. I just don’t feel the same about Hobbs’ highlights reel.
Again, I’m forming an opinion based on the information from others and the footage available to me right now. Doesn’t mean that it won’t change down the track, but I think there are better options at pick three from what I have seen and what I have read.
I think it has to be Callaghan. Ward has a higher floor, but Callaghan has a higher ceiling.Callaghan v Ward? It’s such a tough one to split for me
Both wall be hard to separate...I think it has to be Callaghan. Ward has a higher floor, but Callaghan has a higher ceiling.

Ward v Callaghan appears to be like Bolton v Cerra IMO.
Do you take the safe and consistent high performer or do you take the inconsistent but potential match winner?
Our draft hand gives us lot options and there appears to be a lot of demand for our picks. I personally like the suggestion of pick 28 and 40 for the Bulldogs future first.
If we trade up to pick 3 then 1 of Ward or Callaghan will be available, both if GWS go with a KPPI don't think we can go too wrong, obviously one may become the better player but I am confident out of those two we have long termers.
Callahan will take a little longer but man, his athletic traits, ability to run and size is eyewatering to look at. A few pre seasons at a good club could be absolutely anything.
I will say something controversial here, Josh Ward, if he played more, I reckon wouldn't be out of place in the same discussion we are seeing as Daicos, JHF and Callahan. Super individual, his two way running is elite, gets to contests, can win the football and very high footy IQ.
Basically, both have super traits, Callahan at 189cm (potential to get to taller) could be an absolute freak and I would back our development and environment now to get him there, so have him just ahead. Just.
Little bit of Shai Bolton in the frame, and way he moves and plays. I'd have him on the list purely for the fact that his name sounds like a Spanish footballer...
