Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
If it was a ping then fair enough but it must have been serious to keep him out for 3 months. I feel for the kid. I guess it will come down to medicals. It might see him slide tho.Yeah. I would steer clear. He’s an explosive athlete and relies on pace. A hamstring this soon into his career is a worry.

He mentioned Packaging first or second with something else not both. Which clubs pick would we target?He mentioned potentially packaging up our first and the Geelong first rounder
In a perfect world the best player we could get would seemingly be the fourth ranked player. Daicos, Darcy and presumably Horne-Francis are all locked up. So who is so good that we'd be willing to lose our other first rounder for ? Or perhaps we package Geelong's first with one of our seconds to get up to around Pick 10-12 and get two gun mids ? Bang.He mentioned Packaging first or second with something else not both. Which clubs pick would we target?
Unless you get pick 2(GWS), you could still miss the player you want.
Imagine walking away with 3 of the best 5 KPP's in the draft ! There's your spine. Set the club up for a decade.Personally I have it as
Gibcus
Amiss
Williams
Van Rooyen
Bazzo
Ideally if we could trade up into the late teens/early 20s by using the 2 x 3rd round picks and any compo we get for Chol to give us 5 picks inside 30 I'd target a haul of Sinn Chesser Amiss Williams & Van Rooyen. For mine if you add them to the under 100 games group we've currently got I believe it gives us a solid foundation for the next era of success and would then free us up to target the free agency/trade table from 2022 onwards as we see the older guys come to the end of their careers.

Unless we could get into the top 4 (post f/s) I wouldn't want to see us lose both first rounders. Draft seems to even off after daicos, horne-francis, darcy, callaghanSounds like we might try and trade up for a top 3-5 pick potentially going off what Clarke said
If we trade up there is really only 1 we go for. Callahan has it all I reckon
Nice summary...that's 30 players there...if Rhett Bazzo isn't inside the first 30 players picked we should pounce because he would be a steal.The way I see the draft "tiers" at the moment - groups of midfielders, with KPP put in the gaps that could go anywhere:
Daicos Darcy (both unavailable)
Horne Callahan
Hobbs Ward Erasmus
Gibcus
Goater Roberts Sinn Rachele (our first pick this range)
Mac Andrew
Sonsie Johnson Draper ( Bulldogs pick around here if we get it)
Amiss
Chesser Wilmot Fahey-GWS Academy (our second pick this range)
Van Rooyen Williams
Butler Long MacDonald Tom Brown Nevitt Wanganeen Judson Clarke ( third pick this range)
(then pretty much everyone else in any order from here on)
Yeh I was replying to a post where the poster selected two great running players with our first two picks THEN three KPPs. Maybe dont be so lazy and actually do your homework.lock away three lists spots for long-term projects while it's the running players in need of reinvigoration? Yeah, not happening.

Which selection of running players do you suggest are ready to walk into our side and reinvigorate us out of this draft then ?lock away three lists spots for long-term projects while it's the running players in need of reinvigoration? Yeah, not happening.

No current season stats available
We could have a crack at the Dogs 1st as they need pts which would give us a similar haul to PortPort had 5, 12 & 18
Essendon had 7,8,9
We have 7, maybe 16 or 17, and 26 - all getting pushed back at least 2 picks.
We should get 2 similar as a comparison, which is great, but they both had much better hands to play with.
This was with Jackson in charge, this hasn't happened with Clarke.We have a habit of doing that. And we will know the player a week before the draft too
Ridiculous comment given its the same recruiting team. Don't understand the Jackson hate, the man basically drafted our dynasty. His last draft leading the team was our Shai Bolton pick.This was with Jackson in charge, this hasn't happened with Clarke.
No hate at all, i am just pointing out that since Clarke took over we haven't known about who we are taking till it's announced on the night, which is exactly how it should be. Jackson was in charge when Conca was picked & we knew of that pick days in advance. I liked that Clarke didn't give anything away in his interview. Based on what he said it seems we'll take best available at 7 which i assume will be a mid. The rest is open depending on trade etc with all options to be looked at.Ridiculous comment given its the same recruiting team.

They would be wanting to get to Hobbs or Callaghan before pick 7. Probably pick 2 GWS or Gold Coast pick 3.He mentioned Packaging first or second with something else not both. Which clubs pick would we target?

Only way i can see it getting done is if it involves CJ & pick 7.They would be wanting to get to Hobbs or Callaghan before pick 7. Probably pick 2 GWS or Gold Coast pick 3.
Pick 7 and CJ for pick 2. I'd do that in an instant.Only way i can see it getting done is if it involves CJ & pick 7.
Think GWS are also interested in Cibcus.Pick 7 and CJ for pick 2. I'd do that in an instant.
We knew about Flossy and I think even Ellis...No hate at all, i am just pointing out that since Clarke took over we haven't known about who we are taking till it's announced on the night, which is exactly how it should be.

Cibcus be gone by pick 7.T71 said in his last podcast that we were after a mid and a defender with our earlier picks. Gibcus and ??
