Too slow.Matthew Roberts showed some some really good signs today.
JON!No idea. Just assumed it would be an academy kid.

Yes we can if he is not drafted, he can be added as a Cat B rookie.Maybe we're trying to hide him?
No we can't, Cat B is for players who haven't played AFL at any level, Cowley has been playing juniors for years
We can match if that is the caseGiven how early we will probably get out of this years draft, if we really want him then it would be a pretty big risk to leave him to get through the rest of the rounds without getting taken
I'd love Callaghan but not sure the Giants would do the swap. I don't think Brisbane or we would want to do the second.Let's get Callaghan. Trade 7 and 15 to the Giants and get the midfielder with the most potential in the draft.
If not Im asking Brisbane how much they want Pick 7. Can't split the guys from 4-20.

How do you "hide" someone who plays for the Northern Knights?Isn't it Ned Long?

I think Gold Coast will take Gibcus.I would be hoping Giants are set on landing Gibcus which he should get through to our pick and that Callaghan interviews poorly to potentially help them in their decision. Wishful thinking perhaps.
It's a shame that the champs never got underway and there was no finals for the NAB league. Really hard to seperate the players as a result, which would change the way pick 7 vs two later first round picks would be viewed in terms of value. A player like Mitch Owens may have shot up the draft board had it been a standard season, reminds me of Taranto at the same age.
The more I watch of this draft, the more I would prefer to keep our picks and take a chance on more kids. In particular this draft has a lot of players in it I would consider to be Richmond type picks.
I think Gold Coast will take Gibcus.
Owens is handy, don't see him at Taranto level though. (I was very high on Taranto at the time, and still am.)
Too slow.
I'm going with 'meh'.Slower than some others but still aquality player who finds the ball and disposes of it exceptionally well. Love his mongrel too.
We can't if we don't have any list spots left from taking players with our early picksWe can match if that is the case
Reckon we get 38 for ccj 39 ish for chol which leaves us 7, 15,26,28, 38,39, 40, 44. Trade 28, 40, 44 for pick 17.
It would leave
7, 15, 17, 26, 38, 39.
Bulldogs will trade 17 for whatever maximises their points.I really like that draft hand and the prospect of trading 28, 40 and 44 for 17. Is it a viable possibility though?
It seems to me that we are eager to keep most of our draft picks but also wish to bring in players through free agency and possibly through trading out some of our picks. I hope we do not use draft picks for players. I hope we bring in players through free agency but leave our future alone.
Thanks that’s a great read/comparison.An interesting read for those wanting to trade up to pick 2 to secure Callaghan.
Compare the Pair: Finn Callaghan / Josh Sinn (Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro) - Aussie Rules Draft Central
That's too generous.If we end up trading say CCJ for Tarrant and 38, and end up with 39 for Chol compo, would we be better off trading 38, 39, 40, 44 for Dogs 17/18? Ends up around 1702 points and I don't see us taking more than 5 players in the main draft.
Yeah but they won't just want more points, they'll want enough points to stop them going in to a huge deficit next year.That's too generous.
17/18 will become 19/20 so 28 + 44 for that pick still gives them more points.
