With Murray being added to the SANFL squad, does that no ruck in the draft or can we then free up a spot with long term injury and grab Murray?

Not your what you’re asking there. We can still pick up a ruck in the draft if we want , but I suspect with us signing Murray to the sanfl , the chances we grab a ruck in the draft is slim .

If Rob or Strachan get injured next year (long term ). we could add Murray to our afl list in the mid season draft

SA draft prospect described as a mixture of Jackson, De Koning and Gawn

The South Adelaide ruckman will be selected in next week’s draft.

Is it a combination of Gawn's speed, De Koning's tap work and Jackson's kicking for goal?

ESPN mock draft has dropped

AFL Phantom Draft - Every pick in the first two rounds

Jasper Chellappah has released his latest two-round AFL Phantom Draft for 2023, with the first of a big two-night event just days away. Who is your club looking to pick with its early selections?

www.espn.com.au

We are taking Wilson, Edwards and Goad..I much prefer Wilson to Windsor from the highlights and what I have read about them from others on these boards

The only way the draft is literally turned on its head is is if North trade Pick 2 and 3/Pick 2 and F1 for Pick 1.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

SANFL will probably have the opposite problem we had this year, wonder if signing Murray is indication of how we rate the Rucks in the draft.

Does Demattia have more upside due to having a cricket focus in the past? Spending more time with a football should surely help handling and kicking???

Gawns beard, DeKonings hair and Jacksons nose..guess that would make him Gandalf

As long as he's a wizard around the ground, I couldn't give a flying fart in space what he looks like.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I would like Windsor and Wilson combo. Although it would be unlikely.

Corrected my post, yeah would we be taking another developing ruck in the draft if we’ve already got one?

If we can upgrade him maybe that’s the plan, if only we had a rookie spot…

I hope we stay put in the draft now.

and my.opinion remains, it we trade 2 of our firsts to move up and get o'sullivan we're a basket case.

Yep, looks like goad is a pipe dream.

I suspect we trade picks with Geelong, take 2 early picks , and possibly one late.?

Something like

O’Sullivan
Wilson
Moir

Unless goad slides a bit?

Goad won’t slide

reakon north take him with one their late first rounders unfortunately

i want Wilson c Edwards and goad

or if trade up O’Sullivan and Wilson but unlikely

We aremt getting o'sullivan and wilson. That's dreaming.

Will Green also a chance for North, so if they go that way it's possible Goad makes it to 20

If he performs well next year in the SANFL they may add him to the rookie list in next year's draft (assuming someone else doesn't pick him up first)

Murray doing his knee has really screwed us, ideally we should only be looking at running players. Half back, half forward and midfielders. Hamish must really rate a player very highly if they are desperate to move up the draft, I just hope 10 isn’t involved. I think It would be stupid to lose picks10 and 20 for pick 8.

We aren’t drafting for the ‘Now’ with these early picks

These are for medium and long term making our club / team stronger , not next year

Yep, it would be beyond stupidity.

Totally understand but think it would be better to trade 20 into next years draft if we have no interest in using it.
If nexts draft is truly a midfielders draft, that will only strengthen our hand for that

Why open up 3 list spots then? Could even be a small chance we don't re-contract the currently uncontracted Borlase if there's a player available late we really rate highly?

Seems likely we now think trading up is going to be very difficult if not impossible unless we sell the farm and the plan would seem to be to take 3 picks in this draft?

Seems to be talk of 14 and 20 for Essendons pick 9 and 35.

Gives us more flexibility in case we need it and can trade in a pick from next year if we find someone that we want
