Wow some good viewing there

Dusty clone Sam Lalor looking good ..power on steroids. Jonty looking good too

O’Sullivan Lalor and Hargrave my favs

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Getting my first look at Sid Draper. He looks powerful and fast.

Like him except for his kicking

 

[jackster83]

Makes me cry watching the midfield talent in this draft futures game

Pick 9 would get an absolute gun mid next years draft

Best standard futures game I’ve ever seen

Sounds like we need to hold on to our future first.

 

[GrommoT]

Sounds like we need to hold on to our future first.

Dunno ... pick 18 might not do that well.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Sounds like we need to hold on to our future first.

Yep although if we could pick 4 I’d consider giving it up

But pick 9 next year is way better than pick 9 this year especially re mids

 

[Bearded Clam]

We need talent now.

Not next year. Not in 2025… NOW.

If we dont make the 8 next year then nicksy, roo and half their henchmen are goorrne..

They simply cannot survive yet another year without finals. You could actually argue they shouldnt have survived this year.

If we do make the 8, then our future 1st will be outside the top 10… and Tyler is looking like a top 10 prospect at this stage.

So.. if you are Nicksy and co, what are you thinking right now?..

I know what I’d be thinking..

“All in”

There’s little to no point loading up on next year.. when it could simply have us having to trade back out of it again if tyler has a big year..

Then we end up kicking the can further down the road.

Once again.. we find ourselves in a ****ed position!..

It’s probably looking more like key position or ruck talent this year

Could get a decent flanker

If we could get a top 3 pick we could take Mckercher which would be our ideal player this draft , that’s not east but we should try

You're panicking.

 

[El Doederino]

How many did Welsh kick?

 

[Peter Doherty]

How many did Welsh kick?

17 goals, it was quite amazing, pick 1 guaranteed.

Must have been dragged at 3/4 time

Well, if Andrew Capel is to be believed, Western Bulldogs will get GC's pick 4 for Pick 10++, but Crows strongly targetting Pick 10 from GC if/when that trade happens. He said Crows think, like you BC, that they need quality, not quantity right now.

 

[bonehilda]

Who are the Doggies eyeing off so desperately at pick 4?

 

[BRL121]

Beg, borrow, steal to get Sam Lalor in 2024. Think Dusty ..De Goey like power and strength

I only saw 5 min and I agree with you!

How did Welsh go? Our list strategy is extremely dependent on his rated draft position. I think he should tank next year, like Moir this year.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Ben Campo BOG for mine, he was very good. Incredible midfield depth in next years draft, bats as deep as I've seen, every type of mid you can think of.

Welsh I thought was fairly quiet though kick a solid goal late. It is hard to get a rate on kids in these types of games because they get rotated so hard or miss nearly entire halves etc. No swapping sides though this year like often happens.

Either McKercher(Dunkley was a huge loss for them) or Watson.

welsh pretty bad tbh

refused to lead, and no work rate to be displayed.

looked disinterested and late goal didn't do much to improve his day. hopefully it was just a bad day but looked slow. bit worrying not sure what others think.

Has been struggling a bit with a back injury, he’ll be absolutely fine.

If we can’t get 4 this year using our plethora of seconds & thirds (21, 24, Doedee, McAdam, Himmelberg), I would be using a combo of these to chase Port’s 2024 first.

Welsh did enough

I imagine after a pre season he could spike next year given his back injury

I could name 6-8 pure mids today better than any after Mckercher this year

Famous names shine as 2024 draft crop puts on a show

Ben and Lucas Camporeale were among the stars of the 2023 AFL Futures game on Grand Final morning

ok so please tell me if i've got this correct;
next year, we will probably have to match a high bid on a full forward, may have to match on another Michelanney....and the draft is dripping with quality mids...
And this year, we HAVE a decent draft hand, and there's no good mids around our pick and/or they're all from tassie or academy.

It’s been this way forever, our timing is always bad

 

[Crows I Am]

Yep, same as when we had the number 1 pick in 2020 and it was the 1 year when there was no elite mids available.

Walsh, Rowell, Anderson, JHF were available the years before and after our draft. The highest rated mids in our year were Will Phillips and Holland's who are nowhere near the quality of the above guys.

So shouldn't we be trying to get first round picks off clubs that could go very badly next year and get us some high first rounders. Clubs like Richmond, Geelong, Western Bulldogs and Port could go either way. I think Richmond's would be my first priority. After that its a flip of the coin I reckon. Ports might be the only one gettable out of the lot though.
