Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Depends whose available as a forward. If all of Dangerfield, Dunkley, Duncan and Marshall are eligible then most coaches can likely only afford to pick two of.
There wouldnt be much point as everyone would pick Duncan as a forward. He certainly played forward alot on his return from injury as he wasnt engine ready. However that was only 3 games which usually isnt enough
I think all of those guys are certainties for forward status except potentially danger weirdly enough. Then you’ve also got guys like Butters, Nash etc who should be playing mid. Going to be lots to choose from and budgets will be tiny. Will ensure some very different teams out there I thinkDepends whose available as a forward.

Yeh im sortve hopeful that none of Danger, Duncan, Bazlenka, Treloar are forwards. I dont know if they played enough games at the end in that position but everyone remembers the finalsI think all of those guys are certainties for forward status except potentially danger weirdly enough.

I duno. A slimmer Dusty probably means more midfield time, which the club has already stated. The issue in the past with him has been too much time spent forward. A slimmer Dusty might be a good thingApparentlyDustyhas lost 10kgs following his injury last year. Can put a line through him for sure. Always somehow sneaks into consideration for a starting spot when he shouldn’t

Not saying he’s a must or anything. But with more midfield time he’s probably value. Will be interesting to see who gets/keeps DPP in the forward line. If it’s slim pickings, Dusty becomes a very good option. If it’s guys like Duncan, Dunkley, Danger, Marshall etc he’s probably not going to be a top 6 forwardAnd just like that he pulls himself back onto the possible list.

You’re not following the preseason narrative mate. You need to constantly incite fear onto other coaches that there will be no rookies to pick from and we’ll all be forced into picking midpricers…Gonna be a metric sh*t ton of early debuts next year, so we won't see a shorrage of rooks, IMO (especially given there's still players from 2020 like Pedlar, Stephens, Hollands etc. who need debuts/more game time next year too).
Off the top of my head, these are the players who I think could play Round 1 from the draft:
Adelaide:
Josh Rachelle
Zac Taylor
Brisbane:
Darcy Wilmot
Carlton:
Jesse Motlop
Collingwood:
Nick Daicos (should be in every single person's side from Round 1)
Charlie Dean
Essendon:
Ben Hobbs
Freo:
Matthew Johnson
Geelong:
James Willis (guy is an absolute beast for a kid)
Flynn Kroeger (same as Willis)
Cooper Stephens (not from this draft, but one of the only mids left from 2019 who hasn't debuted - 88kgs now at 6'2 - and is an absolute beast who could play many games next season - barring injury)
Gold Coast:
N/A
GWS:
Finn Callaghan
Josh Fahey
Hawthorn:
Josh Ward
Melbourne:
N/A
North:
JHF (another who should be locked into every side, as he'll be available as a mid/fwd most likely - and will play 22 games)
Port:
Josh Sinn
Richmond:
Josh Gibcus
Tom Brown
Judson Clarke
St Kilda:
Mitchito Owens
Sydney:
Angus Sheldrick
Corey Warner
West Coast:
Greg Clark
Bulldogs:
N/A
I didn't realise they let 30 year olds into the draft, where have Willis and Kroeger plied their trade before meeting Geelong's Over 30 policyGonna be a metric sh*t ton of early debuts next year, so we won't see a shorrage of rooks, IMO (especially given there's still players from 2020 like Pedlar, Stephens, Hollands etc. who need debuts/more game time next year too).

Need to wait and see how they develop over pre season but i think all of the Hawks picks outside of Serong would be a chance at early debuts.Gonna be a metric sh*t ton of early debuts next year, so we won't see a shorrage of rooks, IMO (especially given there's still players from 2020 like Pedlar, Stephens, Hollands etc. who need debuts/more game time next year too).

Even Long as a rookie pick is physically the most ready, has a great tank and is built like...well a tank already. Just now need to make sure he does that footy things okay as well.
195 cm, pushing 90kg's and ran a 6:05 2kYeah Long was a great rookie pick (and someone I can't believe everyone passed on until the rookie draft). Could be the biggest mid in the game, as he's already a monster in size and height (195cm and still growing apparently)

Looks like this at the start of pre season

Definitely. It’s not like he deliberately lost 10kg to play more mid lol.
You'll like Willis ....plays a physical game, but has a burst of speed .....given he's played against men, he'd make a lot of developing sides from R1Hardi har har har, very original
But seriously, both Kroeger and Willis actually already look 30 - absolute tanks for 18 year olds (Cooper Stephens is turning into a monster too):
View attachment 1289801
Kroeger 183cm/85kg
View attachment 1289802
Willis 181cm/80kg+ (listed as 78 but has put on a lot more size since the start of the year - probably closer to 83 or so now and absolutely shredded)
View attachment 1289805
Cooper Stephens 188cm/88kg
