Sorry but I was more interested in any insights Barrass may have had.

Think we’d have done very well with SDK but throw in Cooper Stephens as well for good measure for a 2 for 1.
The key word is AND.
Would mean they're all expected to be there, as opposed to OR, meaning at least one but not all. ???

Brownlow Medallist
I interpret it as those are our realistic targets (so OR not AND).
Would be happy with any of them.
Just saw a photo on super footy of Cooper Stephens without a shirt on, what a beast.
Must have worked his ass off in the gym whilst he had the leg injury.
**** Freo.....looks like we'll likely take what they don't pick. Article suggests they're a big chance to select Stephens, of the Dylan variety.

Happy with that. It was my preference too.
Trade next year's first and get both Stephens and Stephens. Cooper could be a huge bargain and seems to be ready to make an impact.

After breaking his leg, gun AFL draftee Cooper Stephens hit the gym – and got seriously ripped

God, please, don't let it be 2, I hate that kind of thing!

Jackson and Mcasey into the top 7 probably had a fair bit to do with it
Would be chuffed with Stephens. All I have is his highlights reel to go off but obvious traits are great burst of speed, evasive side step, accurate kick and has massive endurance finishing 3rd in the 2km time trial (as well as 3rd over 20m and 9th in agility). Also seems like a great field kick and can finish off in front of goal. It's that burst of speed that looks special though he can get motoring from a stand still to top speed very quickly. Seems like a similar type maybe to Jack Newnes who will be 27 next season and given a season to put on some size will put competition on for spots in that role. I'll be surprised if he's there at our pick 9 but expect this list of players (Stephens, Young and Serong) are the players we will be pick available otherwise will trade down or into 2020.

As long as Adelaide picks McAsey we're OK, and one of the players we want will get through to our pick.
I think there'd be degrees of where this happens all the time.
The coach wanting a say in the types he wants and the List Manager telling him why his wishes may not be met. (See Longmuir)
Silvagni did say that there were robust discussions in matters Betts. I wonder just how robust that may have been.
With Silvagni set to leave, some power may well be taken away from him, which is understandable to a point. Never ideal though.
Conversely, if they don't pick 9 goes up in trade value.

Adelaide's pick will be the pivotal point in the draft for us. If they take Mcasey, then odds are we take the best player at our pick from the three mentioned by Barass - this is the likely outcome.
If Adelaide decide to go for D.Stephens, then Mcasey likely falls to pick 9 and we have a feeding frenzy with Hawthorn, Geelong, Port and Gold Coast

I honestly would have thought Freo would be jumping all over Robertson....local kid who averages 30 odd possession per game, Larke Medallist, and future AFL captain.
It's not like they're oozing leadership qualities down there....

Yeh I have similar feelings. I think they’ll take him at one of their picks in addition to one of Young or Stephens. Otherwise he will slip into the late teens.
Sounds like Stephens is rocketing, and he will be their first selection unfortunately.
We purposely let other clubs think we could be after certain players to make our pick be in more demand in live market trading, should the real player we want at pick 9 be gone by then....

I think they could cause us some problems. If Stephens is available, they might take him and then with their next pick, be willing to trade down with Hawks for Mcasey - knowing full well Robertson is likely to still be on the board at pick 11.
Out of the three who’s mostly likely to wear navy blue tomorrow night. Gut feel

You're forgetting they traded up to beat a Henry bid.

Serong personally, can't see Freo going past Young and Stephens.
