Murphy and O'Sullivan chb fb for cats impressive pick ups if cats go murphy

Nah SDK has one spot tied down. I have a feeling they may play O’Sullivan at both ends, depending how Shannon Neale shapes up in ‘24.

Murphy will take time to develop, once that happens, they could use SDK forward

Cats also looking at WCs 1st pick tonight, do they want Edwards?

Intriguing

 

[Soapy V]

So the rumours about us being focussed on Moir are true.

The talent and skill level are obvious. Club obviously believe he has the fire and effort in him

Hope he develops an engine that can play further up the ground. If he can he have a genuine talent

 

[Arr0w]

Arr0w Edwards little indiscretion has certainly played a part here.

With clubs undoubtedly coming hard for TDK in a couple of years, surely we don’t leave him in the board if he gets that far.

Otherwise Simpson, Sanchez and Zakostelsky, would be happy with any of them. The “Smokey” here would be Billy Wilson from links. Carroll enters discussion if no one else slides to our rookie pick.

Think we would be looking at Billy Wilson as a rookie pick, not our next pick

Judging by his parents' pedigree the mental side should be a breeze!

If Edwards (Mitch) is gone, I'd be looking at Logan Morris.

Logan Morris Draft Profile

Western Jets spearhead Logan Morris is a strong-marking forward who finds the goals with great regularity and can also swing to defence.

If he gets to us as a rookie, it would be a huge win.

Love to know our thinking. We have Moir who is another mid sized forward. Do we go another?

If Edwards is available do we take a developing ruck or so we go some more run? Simpson?

Archer Reid is available? Lual is one I like


Key could be if we have a mature "role" player in mind as a rookie.

The question I would like to ask Austin is why did we only go with two picks? Given the eveness, and that we have the Campo kids next year should we have looked at another pick in the 20s by trading our F1? Did we put all our eggs in one basket trying to get a Top 10 pick?

We signed a few players on one year deals this year that are injury prone and/or are role players. Would another kid been better especially if we could have added a developing tall.

 

[BluStreak]

I would have thought that WCE would need a defender to go with Barass and McGovern aging. So maybe taking O Murphy.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Edwards at 34 and Mannagh rookie?

Freo probably take Mannagh
I'd consider Declase for our rookie depending who we get at 34

 

[Coona Blues]

I would have thought that WCE would need a defender to go with Barass and McGovern aging. So maybe taking O Murphy.

They have Rhett Bazzo (20yo, 20 games) and Harry Edwards (23, 30 games, 200cm) and undersized Rotham at 193cm, 59 games in. Barrass(28), Bazzo, Edwards will be a very solid combo post McGovern.

On face value it is easy to think they would take Edwards, but just traded in Flynn to partner Bailey Williams who has a bit of a break out year, as well as developing young gun Harry Barnett. The rumoured pick swap with the Cats probably says they are looking elsewhere.

Sanchez might be their man in my opinion (they were linked to forwards Moir and Collard)

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Sanchez makes more sense for WC if they were after Collard or Moir

 

[Soapy V]

North & GCS have obviously done well. Massive advantages given

I really like what Adelaide did with getting Curtain & Edwards. These two could easily play Round One. Ryan a bit of a surprise but all three are great quality kids

I also like the St Kilda picks. Collard & Wilson add some speed and excitment. Something they deperately need

J. McGovern is way past "aging'!

32 next April, now very injury prone....

Martin's 29 next Jan.

3 years left at best?

Moir takes his spot...Logan the 3rd tall.

 

[Soapy V]

My hope in order:

1. Simpson
2. Lual
3. Jiath

I would then like someone like Brodie McLaughlan as a mature rookie. Can fill a number of big man roles and is ready to go

Possible. Personally, I'd like to see some run and dash added

If we got Simpson maybe we consider Mutaz El Nour as the rookie for similar role to your 2&3 preference?

Possible. I really don't know.

I have to admit that the more I watch, the more I want Lual. Looks poised and ready to play AFL. Quick but I love his ball use

It would be interesting to know what the plan was before and after the foreshadowed changes to the FS/academy rules

I guess our future 1st is insurance. We have no idea how far the twins might rise in the rankings next year. We may need to trade that pick for more points, or we may be able to keep it and use it if they are expected to go lower.

Why would you prefer Lual over Jiath?

 

[Stamos]

Has anything been announced?

Of course not. This is the AFL we’re talking about.

 

[Soapy V]

Why would you prefer Lual over Jiath?

Borderline but the more I watch Lual I am impressed with his poise and the way he hit's targets even under pressure. Seems to have time and I also like he had time in the middle later in the year. Also, a tough bugger and I like that

As always it's based on just watching and not the personality which is a massive part of picking a player

I would be happy with either
