They should ask the club captain what he thinks about the club. What have these three ever done wrong to deserve this?
NHH, Dovaston, Farrow, M Marsh, Phillipou, Barker, Greeves. They are the order ESPN has them. We sit with 2 picks which are in between. I would think we can get greeves with our second pick. It then comes down to who we want with our first? does Dovaston have the edge over others? you get what you see, low risk, high reward, we need him now? NHH is also a good get, a favourite. Nothing wrong with Marsh or Farrow either. Infact some people may like the Farrow / Greeves combination, between them they should cover the loss of worpel, they can play some time in half back and half forward too. We are spoilt for choice.

He was spoken about in April/May he was a top 5 prospect... Swalding better two way runner & better kick. Rodriguez does butcher abit
Latest rumours suggesting Tigers are going to select Sam Cumming. Blair Hartley apparently meeting with him.. I read also the blues are going to move their pick 9 which doesn’t suit us. Would perhaps end the Grlj to Hawks dream..

Probably explains why he isn't rated then

And feels like Nairn is either Dees or GWS hence the first night call up. Figure eagles take duursma and CDT, tigers if they take Cumming then surely they take Grlj over Robey or they have Lalor Smillie Cumming Robey as big bodied mids without much speed. Dons would then take Robey and X. Taylor leaving Dees with Dovaston and Nairn or Schubert. Eagles take Sharp. So we are in same position looking more likely no one trades top 8 and no one slides. Suspect we take Farrow at that point Lindsay O.Taylor in mix.
When you have two early picks, they are premium, so choose wisely. ESPN does have Fred at 22, where our second pick comes in. He does have that burst out of the middle, which perhaps we need. The downside is he does not find enough of it and suggests limited at the next role. I assume we are looking for a player that can play multiple roles and rotated through the middle. I know Dovaston has been talked up alot. Greeves on the other hand has speed and defensive concerns. If you only have one pick, who would you choose between the two with our second pick? most will go with Greeves, I assume. Our first will be interesting, people are leaning now more towards Dovaston, but NHH is up there. Farrow and Lindsay are projected to go up there too. Hence, Greeves/Fred more likely for our second, it is good to bring up though because if we want another midfielder with our second, at least you have more than one option. Each one has strengths and concerns. Concerns over Farrow are contested game and speed. On that note Dovaston/NHH and Greeves/Fred real possibilities with our two picks if we wanted to go that way.

That’s great, but to my eyes Sharp just looks like another Cooper Stephens.

I'd rather flick ten to pies for their FF then pick up Oskar. Complete waste of a top end pick. Can pick up these kind of players anywhere in any draft or just trade one in for a second round pick.
Re: Greeves
He is the Great nephew of Carji Greeves who Geelong’s B&F is named after wouldn’t surprise me if Geelol drafted him as a project player they could sit him in the 2’s for a couple of years & really iron out his flaws.. he also has the hair style to fit in there

collingwood have third rounders, 39&45, I wonder what their FF will likely be, but if next year's is more strong, then yes, and if we want to trade for existing player. I think people mentioned onley, allen with those picks maybe also hetherton, we have pick 59 too. Even if Oskar is gone by our second we have a few choices in barker, Fred, Greeves.

I don't want Oskar even at pick 59! Pies are looking to get into the first round of this draft. Pick 10 for FF.

I’m warming to taking Dovaston or even O Taylor a bit with our first pick. I think Melbourne might just take Nairn early and try to get Pickett later in the draft. Dovaston might have a lower ceiling than a few, but he is a far better player in his position than his peers, Oscar probably a bit similar of half back

he has limitations too, you cannot have too many of those players, or maybe none, he has defensive concerns, lacks size and speed for dangerous forwards, lacks contested game, his only weapon is his kicking. Alittle too one dimensional.
surely, we can get at least one or maybe two picks back from them, they have 39-58, we need to pick up 3 players.
Turnbull did in 2000 and took convincing from David Parkin in 2001.

Pick 22 for future first*
They would back themselves in that it will be a late one, I’m not so sure it will be though.

They are willing to part with future first for pick 9 from blues though. So I don't think they'll be entertaining our 22 in return. Maybe we part with future first of our own for a straight swap with either
Gold coast pick 15 or
Bulldogs pick 14 or
Lions pick 17!
That's if we're heavily invested in this draft so taht way we get three players .
I'm still big on NHH, huge upside in this kid, natural goal sense and very high football IQ . Same with Marsh and Doveston.
