Why do you think we accepted so many picks in the 40s? We will get pick 36 from lions and our 41 will become 39 after matched bids. Expect some hawks fist pumps on draft night dildoro style!

Awful lack of Rumours here smh

I heard a whisper Dodoro is going to be hard to deal with this year

Higher end of possible size if factual

I could list rumours but those rumours would only be things I have made up and have no basis in fact.

For instance I heard West Coast feel like 2023 is their year for a flag tilt and they strongly believe the final piece of the puzzle is an 18 year old skinny half back flanker.

I think the Saints need, either Hewett or Keeler, with its 1st pick. I think Humphries, MacKenzie & Phillipou will be gone beforehand.

Keeler is very early for our first pick. Fits a need but there are better players who also fit needs above him.
Hewett wouldn't be bad but would rather take Hollands or Busslinger if the mids mentioned above are all gone

I think we need the strong burst mid. with good skills, in Hewett
Keeler was talked about as a top 10 earlier??? & would be a good forward to go along with Max King, & especially if we don't get Ben King.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Oh well he’s probably getting towards the end anyway.

Any mail on which were the high end kids that indicated to the Giants and Eagles they didn’t want to be picked by them. Everyone is assuming it’s Sheezel is one, but nothing definitive like it was with Bailey Smith and Archie Perkins.

You are likely to have Keeler available with your second.

We asked for rumours, not the whiteboard from our HQ

So the fox rumours for Essendon are

Hewett
Phillipou
Tsitats

We would surely be pissing West Coast off if we went Hewett, and surely they will be in his ear straight away

interstate clubs are wary about picking Tsatas so I imagine he is another. Could Wardlaw to be a third?

 

[Davo-27]

I have a gut feeling Phillipou might be heading to Essendon?

You'd be pissing a lot of fans off too taking Hewett that high in the draft.

Surely this would mean you are looking at splitting 4 if true

 

[bungalow_bill]

Has a pic of Taranto on his wall

And it's peppered with dart holes

 

[Two Planks]

Lions a big fan of Jack O'Sullivan for a late / rookie pick.

Tasatits, most likely for you guys

I wouldn't be against doing that

Would hate having another down hill skier on the list

Should the Bombers overlook Tsatas, it remains unclear how far he could slide down the order. Non-Victorian clubs are wary of drafting Tsatas, meaning it’s unlikely Gold Coast and West Coast would take him with their respective first picks. And with speculation the Hawks and Cats are wedded to other players, recruiters believe St Kilda would be a chance to pounce on Tsatas late in the top 10.

Who are we wedded to? Clark?

A lot of links to Humphrey recently, unpopular on our board but he's the only one available I could see us genuinely having ahead of Tsatas on a big board.

I’m no draft expert but just watched 2 videos of tsatas and can’t say I’m that fussed. His kicking is not great his hand balling quite good he doesn’t seem as quick as I thought overall I think he’s not a top 5 pick maybe that’s what is happening here. I would prefer Mackenzie or Philippou.
