No way? What a genius idea. I’ll call him now.There is way you can get CMac. Talk to Hawks recruiting guy MMac

If that was the case then Daicos/Ashcroft should drift all the way through to the rookie draft.Not really
If the NGA player is the best available and any club can land them it makes sense to take them.
In the father son scenario, even if you bid on them you can't land them. The reason they don't bid on them at pick one is because they'd want all the media and fanfare that comes with having a pick one in the draft.
Evej the player gets another $10k in their pocket.
We had a fairly passive player list, maybe reflecting the former coach’s personality and demeanour..likely to be different under Ross!I agree.
If he is on the board. We will take him.
I just love the fig jam attitude. Sorely lacking across our playing list.
Sounds like we are a huge chance of landing 1 of the players we rate higher than Cmac now.There is way you can get CMac. Talk to Hawks recruiting guy MMac

It would be exceedingly tempting.
Don’t know about lazy, maybe a laid back personality like Ryder..seems to have a lot of ability and from what I’ve seen, good second efforts & will chase!Lazy
So did Max - arguably he was having games that were unheard of.Harley Reid looks like a superstar at this point. They'd have to be insane to trade out their future first to get into this one.
No, they don't slide to the rookie draft because there isn't the same fanfare and excitement with picks taken outside one so clubs have less issue bidding on them after that.If that was the case then Daicos/Ashcroft should drift all the way through to the rookie draft.
Clubs regularly bid on F/S's so why it shouldn't matter whether the F/S is rated Pick 1 or Pick 20.
As for the kudo's of being No 1 - well it can also be argued that being picked No 1 may put undue pressure on a player so maybe clubs are better off bidding on Daicos/Ashcroft because it takes a bit of pressure of Horne-Francis and Cadman.
People may see it as an entirely futile exercise but its better than intentionally giving your opposition a leg up.
Adelaide bid on JUH because they thought he was the best player in the draft - nobody batted an eyelid.
Sounds like we are a huge chance of landing 1 of the players we rate higher than Cmac now.
Doubt we trade up from 9
Isn't it an extra 2nd Rd pick we are looking at.If we rate the players that should still be available it would not be smart to trade away future picks to get lower.
I reckon he could end up a pretty handy small forward that gets the 'will play midfield' line said about him every preseason but never makes the move permanently. Has the speed, very good below his knees and overall very crafty.interesting player Burgiel. I can’t work out who he reminds me of or what type of player he is
Isn't it an extra 2nd Rd pick we are looking at.
No it sounds like he is sliding.With all the links to Hewett - surely we’re not interested at pick 10?
Hoping we are looking at him with a later pick ala Burgiel
An athletically gifted midfielder with proven versatility, Burgiel played across all 3 lines at various points this season, bringing his daring run and clean disposal to each role”I reckon he could end up a pretty handy small forward that gets the 'will play midfield' line said about him every preseason but never makes the move permanently. Has the speed, very good below his knees and overall very crafty.
I'm hoping we get one of him or Keeler in the 2nd round.

Bloke must have been high when he created this
I’d even consider doing our future first and our first second rounder this year.
2 of Mackenzie/Tsatas/Clark
For whatever we have next year and maybe Keeler.
I would have thought also, until there trade's etc this year, they have a number of younger kids that will now come through.Geelong will hit a cliff soon. I know it's been said for a decade but their youth are a long way back compared to their over 30s. They actually went flat out at a flag and have stopped doing the management that got them to be a consistent finalist for so long.
Isn't it very different living in Geelong or anywhere near that area to living baysideThat’s where the saints need to look around our growth area. Focus on what makes the bayside area great and bring back players who grew up in the area.
Look what Geelong did to lure Jack Bowes and pick 7 into their club for nothing. They identified local talent with contracts running out, talked to them and kept them close.
Fin Callaghan is coming out of contract end of 2023. Mordy boy. Get in there saints and start the convos.
If we grabbed another second rounder and our draft haul was:
Phillipou
Hewitt
Keeler
Van Es
Noah Long
McLennan (rookie)
You would be popping champagne and gringo2011 would be having to take our recruiters for an apology dinner.
Gets very very good info this bloke.stavro#4 your mate & Cal on the same page. Interesting that he put his phantom to recruiters for comment.

It’s not great but we will get picks back in the way of Clark/NWM next year.They've sacked most of the last lot of recruiters. This is Toce's first draft. He needs to get this right. That looks like a great haul but giving up future picks is not a great idea IMO.
The dream:
Phillipou/Tsates
Burgiel/Hewett
Keeler
Van Es/Hayes
McLennan
