I'm pretty sure JT said he was recruited as a forward, but that can easily change quickly. Picking a guy like that who has shown ability at both ends and trying to work out where to fit him in is a nice problem to have.
Looks like there could a few quality sliders available at our next pick but I’ve got the feeling JT already has someone lined up he is very confident will be available at that selection.
I’m interested to see what happens with Freo’s first pick, they must be getting a bidding frenzy right now with clubs trying to get one of the “guaranteed first rounders” that got overlooked. It’s crazy to think Gold Coast basically gave that selection away for free in the Brodie trade due to their epic mismanagement.
BEST REMAINING PLAYERS (Fox Lab overall rank)I'm not a draft watcher, but Johnson being available is surprising. He was talked up as being a top 10 pick (Hawks were linked with him at pock 5/7). Being a WA boy, Freo seem to be in a good spot.... they can land another local kid who slid further than they expected or a club pays through the nose to get the pick.
I didn't have much mail from this draft, but asked my mate last night afterwards and he said he heard they were tossing up between Howes and van Rooyen at our first pick. After Wilmot went.I won't pretend to know much about Blake Howes (or any other draftee) but it seems a great result considering many had us linked to him with our first pick.
Yep 100%We couldn’t press the button any faster then.
I understand that we will be really happy as we were ready to use our first on Howes if the cards fell that way.
Boss mode status for Taylor, Howes with the second round pick.
Fox is showing Adelaide as having #43 which I understood to be our pick. Maybe there was a pick swap that wasn't mentioned on the coverage.What I’m interested in is what Melbourne were up to that the AFL rejected with the Adelaide pick 36. It could only have been they thought Howes was going to get picked up at 37 or 38, or Melbourne were really into someone they missed at 36, 37 or 38.
On the draft and trade board Lore said that there is a rule that you can't trade a pick back to a club that has been traded to you. Potentially we were trying to trade the pick 39 to Adelaide as part of the deal to get 36 which isn't allowed as we received 39 from Adelaide initially.Yes and No.
The reason he was linked for Melbourne’s first, which makes getting him 20 picks later look great, was because it got around Melbourne were into him - and the journo guessed the wrong pick.
In other words, it was Melbourne that inadvertently created the interest that made Howes appear as a top 20 prospect.
If he was a genuine steal someone else would’ve already drafted Howes.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope Howes is great, but it’s not a coup until Howes proves something at AFL level.

Wasn't mentioned but did pop on the bottom of the screen. Does that mean Melbourne are done for the night?Fox is showing Adelaide as having #43 which I understood to be our pick. Maybe there was a pick swap that wasn't mentioned on the coverage.
That’s how steals work thoughIf he was a genuine steal someone else would’ve already drafted Howes.
Apart from Woewodin that should be it.Wasn't mentioned but did pop on the bottom of the screen. Does that mean Melbourne are done for the night?
