No way Josh Ward slides into the 2nd round.

Agree,
I'll be pretty disappointed if we take Knevitt with all of Ward, Sonsie, Rachelle and Sinn on the board

I like Brisbane's selections but I'd like it a tad better if we took Goater over Sinn.

Knevitt still fits us as a POD mid, strong overhead and remarakable athleticism, not my first choice but not unhappy with it

No way would the Suns take Hobbs over Callaghan if he is on the board. Also Matthew Roberts a slow inside mid… Will Brodie ring any bells. Suns need talls plan and simple.

Not sure the Lions go with two half-back flankers Coleman is likely to get one spot and Answerth the other

I reckon it will be hard choice between Amiss and Gibcus for us if they are both on the board still (which is unlikely) , now that both CCJ and Chol are gone. We are more likely to end up with Amiss imo but who knows

I’d be be somewhat upset if Brisbane selected Wilmot with our first pick, if Goater and NWM were still on board.

I’d be rather upset if we selected Roberts at all.

If they were available at our picks, I’d almost bank on our recruiters selecting Wilmot and Jacob Van Rooyen at our two picks.

Fair enough. Forgot about JVR. Reckon he is also a good shot to be picked in that 14-18 range. I probably went too HBFlanky for Bris because I think Roberts projects as a Rich type HBF at AFL level. Can't find where he is a good fit in the first round, maybe Richmond.

Richmond are in a good spot with two first rounders. I see you going BPA at first pick and if that's a mid it might effect your second choice i.e., a JVR or Bazzo etc. If you pick a KPP like a Gibcus or Amiss, I see you going for a versatile mid/flank at your second.

So the Western Bulldogs get Darcy AND still keep their First Round Pick at around #17 ??
Ummm... Yeah Nah... doesn't work that way.
Their first pick will go to match the Darcy selection. Most likely around Pick 3 so they would still be in deficit.
Cheers
