All true and good, but no-one on the outside of the asylum is going to trade this years first and next years second for our next years first and next years third.

So Collingwood wouldn’t trade their 1st (19) & next years 2nd (possibly 36) for North’s 2024 1st (likely top 3) and 3rd (likely 37-40)?

You’re totally ignoring there’s a range of 18 picks min in each range. One club’s 1st stands a few picks away from another club’s 2nd.

If Nth came to us wanting to do the same deal we would be all over it.

Get on the blower to your skinny-fat pal Cal and tell him to pull his head in. A lot of this forum’s blood pressure depends on it!
Would still take his word over the absolute plonkers that reckon they are taking over the draft guru game that fester in this thread

Everyone is so triggered that I rub shoulders with the elite 😎

Ahh, inside word from the draft experts, AND a moderator on a footy forum?

Please. Life is too easy 😎😎
 
So many invented rumoured fantasies to try and get us up the order.

Didnt happen during Trade Week and wont happen tonight.

Still frustrates me that because were a Melbourne club with zero highly rated father son prospects, the two major ways of "jumping the queue" aren't ever available to us. Instead we get pushed down.

Thank God we got Windy and Mitchito JUST in time.
 
Wilson had double the centre clearance's of DeMattia & Edwards in the Nab league, although Edwards went to the mid. later in the season.
Wilson's all-round combine testing put him as one of the best. And is a noted goal kicker.
That last part right there.

We don’t just need midfielders, we need goalkicking mids. We need more avenues to kick goals in 2024 and beyond.

I like the look of this kid more than DeMattia at 13 😂



A ruck capable of dominating the domain on his day, Green has seldom had an issue racking up hitouts. This year, his averages of 22.8 hitouts and 6.5 to advantage at Coates Talent League level were boosted to 24.3 and 8.0 in the National Championships, highlighting his ability against the best possible opposition. Ruck craft is clearly Green's top trait and he's a clever hitter, often improvising while utilising his size and reach.

He may not be a particularly high-production player elsewhere just yet, but is certainly taking great strides in that department. Green's best game this year came in Round 9 with the Knights, where he posted 22 disposals, five marks, 18 hitouts and two goals. His ability to take grabs around the ground, follow up on his ruck work, and even impact up forward were ultra impressive.

Though, that effort was more so an indicator of his ceiling rather than the norm. Of Green's 13 Talent League games, nearly half yielded single-digit disposals and he only hit the scoreboard in two of them. Going forward, boosting his consistency of production and maintaining a steadier output from week to week will be key to proving just how effective Green can be as the primary ruck.

It's certainly an attainable goal. The 204cm big man is mobile and has a great running base. His 2km time at the National Draft Combine (6:34) is up there with some midfielders in the same crop, and allows him to move from contest to contest. If he can get his hands on the ball, Green's fundamental skills and overall mechanics are quite sound too, meaning he can join in on the play with high efficiency and little fuss.

With enough nourishment in an AFL environment, Green can become a tall who does many things which are elite for a player his size. He kicks well, moves well, has clean hands, runs down smaller players, and is an extremely dextrous with his touch. With those attributes combined, there is more than enough substance to see him given a chance, and the best is yet to come.
