Top 4 as is, rest
Dons : The Pou
Suns : Hump
Haw : Mackensie
Cats : Tsatas
WCE : Ginbey
StKs : Clark
Lions: Fletcher
Carl : Hollands
Dogs: Busslinger
WCE: Allan
Dees: Jefferson
Syd : Weddle
GWS: George
Adel: Max M
GWS : Rowston
Pies : Ryan


Interesting is if Pick 7 is Tsatas( hawks or Dees)
then how would rest go.

Cats with pick 8 will be ??? Allan or Clark instead of Tsatas
If it is Allan,
then who does Saints pick? Mackensie or clark

Then who does WCE pick Mackensie or Clark or Jefferson

They’re the first ones with Jhye Clark sliding a bit.

I’m a bit surprised it’s taken so long. Of the presumed top 10 he’s the one I thought would have been most likely to slip a bit. Maybe it’s just the Geelong connection.

I wonder if it will be possible to get two first rounders for picks 14 and 17.

14 is definitely possible but 17 is a bit more up in the air, though I find live trading during the draft teams often pay a little more if they want a specific player and that player is available.

 

[tenderwarrior]

I highly doubt Geelong will go Allen given who else will still be on the board (at least one of Humphrey, Tsatas, Ginbey)..

It was said during the week that GWS could get Melbourne's future 1st for pick 19 this year.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Last year you went

2 West Aussies in the Mid year draft
4/5 West Aussies in the main draft
2/4 West Aussies in the supplementary draft

And in 2021 the borders were closed and very little top end U18 football played outside WA and SA.

Eagles first pick in 2021 draft - Chesser (Victoria)
Eagles held the No.1 pick in the mid season draft - Culley (Victoria)

The later in the draft, the more even the more likely we go local.

First time in recent history I recall 4 picks for us inside 26. Top end is less about local

 

[La Dispute]

Suits Carlton though they need wingmen I mean come off it when Cottrell is a starting wingman…

Cottrell is pretty limited but much harder at the ball than Dylan Stephens, who is pretty soft.

Amazing he went at Pick 5 really.

 

[Shadow89]

Come on Cal, just release your damn phantom already!!

He’s a gun. Just sliding because he is on the smaller side of the other prospects. Be happy with him at the saints. Got some real mongrel about him

Tough two way running wingers like Cottrell have their place in modern football even despite their shortcomings skill wise. Most sides will play 3 or 4 wingers and he provides a point of difference defensively

 

[Giant Strides]

Yes, but if Melbourne could get an earlier pick for the same future pick ... surely they'd take the earlier pick?

 

[RanaNaved]

That was this years mid season draft last year you went West and some random

Just pointing out our 1st pick in the MSD this year was Victorian, like our 1st pick in the ND last year.

Exactly.

2014 our first pick was Vic, 2015 was SA, 2016 Vic, 2017 NSW, 2018 Vic, 2020 SA, 2021 Vic.

 

[bzparkes]

2/4 West Aussies in the supplementary draft

re you referring to Covid coverage? Pretty sure we could only pick form the WAFL.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Possibly also because he’s not versatile like the others and also doesn’t hit the scoreboard at all.

How do you mean? They are pretty late picks, if you packaged them together id say its likely you may get a high first and a mid second.

I think it's definitely possible, Carlton and Melbourne both sound interested, but you might have to give something small back to make it work.

He’ll be better when he moves inside but I agree with you

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Poor guy, i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Loves the surf so may be perfect for him.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah but you have to go to GC

 

[McOrist]

No way Collingwood takes Ryan if Hewitt is still available.

They might Hewett could slide massively

 

[adammania9]

Collingwood just don’t recruit out of WA and I don’t think Hewett will buck the trend

 

[Jen2310]

Apart from Ruscoe.
Other than him, who was the last?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Apart from Ruscoe.
Other than him, who was the last?

The defender that left for mental health reasons. Was later picked up by St Kilda?

I can’t remember his name right now

Trey Ruscoe has already bucked the trend.
