Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
He is our long term Cotch replacement IMO
Howes being taken at 13 (15) helps a slider get to our pick 15 (17).

GWS should hire me. Its obvious I know how to rank talent.Reminds me of that time some guy picked Relton Roberts in the first round of an all time draft![]()
Heard on trade podcast today with cal twomey Richmond hasn't spoken to Hobbs since April this year.
I’ve been a big advocate for Hobbs for a few months now but in comparison to last year what’s the difference between he and Will Phillips from North? Both looked to have similar traits and hype in their profiles and online.
Did the year off last year hurt Phillips impact this year cause he looked a fair way off when he played for the Roos. Which is one reason I’m skeptical to a degree on Hobbs.
Have always thought he’s the perfect fit for the next decade but guys like Rachele could be generational talents over the great foot soldier Hobbs has the potential to be
Na still have 5. We had 6 before. Just means that only one of Stack/Pickett will be upgraded and the other will spend another year on the rookie list.So does that mean we only have 4 spots to fill?
Drafting Sinn is not really what the team needs and in no way should be reaching for him at 7.
Mansell, Short, Rioli, Stack are all fighting for the same spot. There is space on the wing potentially, but is a wingman exactly what the team needs?
At 15 is a different story, Sinn would be a good pick
Think notes should be sent out to all other 17 clubs.
Damaged Goods Do Not Touch
Ned Long seems to have dropped way down the list to more of a late round/possible rookie selection, certainly not in the mix for 15Our pick 7 and 15 we need to nail them no calculated risks. I'm starting to like the kid Matthew Johnson from WA 190 cm midfielder.At 15 there will be slider's I like Ned Long or Zac Taylor.
If we don't go Hobbs a inside bull get the next best Connor McDonald so there a options there. https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/connor-macdonald/.
Need a few KP players to Charlie Dean and Noah Pegoraro could be bargains late.

That’s assuming there’s an equal amount of talent compared to an average draft. We could of just traded into the equivalent of the 2003 draft. 5 good players in the whole year.
At the moment even having a pick as good as 7 there’s no clear talent likely to be at our pick. In most years there would be plenty of guys developing late in the year much like Bont, Petracca, Oliver, Dusty all did. None of them got the chance this year.
The fact we’ve been prepared to commit so much capital to move up the board to what we see as top end talent shows we as a club aren’t that certain on this draft pool.
I would expect us to play this draft very safe in the first round. If we bust on all 5 picks the club will be set back years. If we get two best 22 players we will have done well.

No need for Cumbo to nominate as he's been placed back on the senior list. I'm guessing we did that after the pick trade with Collingwood.
