Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
You have to wonder what the flow on effects are for not having enough KPD on the list. Playing other defenders out of position and in side that gets pummelled from pillar to post. A few youngish KPDs would do us nicely. Especially if they are fit and play rather than sitting on sidelines injuredJust get the bloke who we think is going to have the best career in the AFL.
Overlooking that player for a short term fix would be a ridiculous decision.
Please North. We can fix our fitness and backline in one addition to the team hahaAt 198cm and 103kg, Strom is a versatile tall who is a highly accomplished key defender and can also star in the ruck and on the wing.
Unlike almost every other player fighting for a spot on an AFL list during the pre-season supplemental selection period, Strom, the older brother of Fremantle AFLW star Mim, has a professional career of his own away from football.
Strom is a chiropractor who has been working with sporting clubs in recent years, focusing on managing injuries and facilitating rehabilitation, including at South Fremantle where he has worked with the players.
The West Australian is regarded as one of the strongest men in the WAFL and has the fitness base to come straight in and play in the AFL.
Seems like there's a decent amount of gems who have fallen through due to covid affected seasons. We could speed up the rebuild by bringing them in.This draft last year wasn’t that impressive. Only Newcombe has gone on to become a decent player.
Our selection is doing a mini preseason because he’s not fit enough.
Ham was a wasted pick but not like Callows has done much at Hawthorn anyway.
To go back further to 2019 our pick on Hosie didn’t work out but so did every other selection that year. We were crying out for Ricardi and still think we should be in his ear about bringing him home.
All in all, I wouldn’t expect much from our selections at this draft.

No current season stats available
I am not confident we won’tWe’re not going to draft Hore.
Similar position to last year were we had Flynn Appleby train with us and then join our VFL team. Ended up going Edwards and Ham in the MSD.
Whilst Ham was a bust you could see the direction the recruiting team were trying to go.
If we want Hore take him in ND with last pick got get the best KPD x2 if we go with 2 picksAnyone but Hore.
Bit late but I went to the Colgate Young Guns game on the weekend, only watched the first half as even though I love footy and the draft, it was pretty boring IMO.
Massimo D'Ambrosio a massive standout for mine, just keeps building, I was sat right near the wing so could see most of what he did up close. Different to the half back position he usually plays but just as impressive, calm under pressure with all the moves and hit some laser lace out passes. Even the kicks he missed looked beautiful off the boot and went to the right spots. Reminds me so much of Jayden Short.
Oscar Faulkhead the other young gun that stood out to me, was really zippy through the midfield and kicked a ripper goal. Not a type for. us to go after though.
If we have a high draft pick in 2023 (we will), Zane Duursma is a special talent, in the 2nd quarter he was everywhere, marking everything and was only better execution away from having a serious bag just in that quarter
These are the two I'd take if we have two picks. El Nour and Massimo.Also my mate is interviewing Mutaz El Nour right now so will put the link to that in when its posted.

You think we are a chance of a 2nd pick realistically GR? Lynch retires?These are the two I'd take if we have two picks. El Nour and Massimo.
Lynch either retires or we place Polec or Phillips on the LTI.You think we are a chance of a 2nd pick realistically GR? Lynch retires?
I know I have been out of the loop for a bit but gees I hope we get Faulkhead on name alone, although he does sound like an opposition playerWith Miller Bergman's spot now open due to his season ending shoulder injury, what position do we desperately fill or do we go with best available here?

Snake always has a good eye for players. That review's definitely a plus for Massimo imo.
