Wardlaw would be a mistake, we just cannot spend pick 2 on a kid that's consistently injured.
Sheezle would definitely be the one for me, but I think North will nab him if they have any common sense
I am guessing that O'brien takes Cadman

A growing consensus about splitting the pick has me worried
I can just see Wardlaw slipping to 3 due to his hammies (just like a certain other number three did with his shoulder) and us missing out.
I’m not saying he’s gunna be the next big Superstar but he’s got more chance then the kids we pick in the 8-15 range.
I hope he does well at the combine (but not well enough for North to take him)
What about the 6-8 range and another pick later in the 1st?
If we trade 2 we need a pick between 6-8 to be coming back plus another later 1st or multiple 2nd rounders.

Don’t really want multiple 2nd rounders, we already have a few. An additional late first would be ok but
personally I’d rather keep pick 2.
IMO picks are worth more exponentially as you get higher.

North will go Cadman for sure.
Like they did with McDonald?

Just think they picked the best midfielder last year. Wouldn't at all be surprised if they go best key Forward this year..
Especially when you consider their pick one this year won't even get the best Mid....
Perhaps because they didnt with McDonald last year.
They are hard to read for sure but I think they make 2 changes to their strategy from last year
1) bid on the FS and make Lions pay full price
2) take a player to suit needs over BA.
Did they even get the best midfielder last year?
Depends on the 2nds.
Id love one more 2nd this year berween 21 and 26. We only have two so far.
If Port trade pick 8 for 13 and the North 2023 PP Id love that for Rioli, pick 22ish next year.
You dont need to trade pick 2 for those potentially
The best midfielder from last years draft hasn’t played yet
Tom Joyce was the best midfielder from the 2021 AND 2018 drafts who has yet to play.

Time will tell but they definitely got the standout....
Daicos?
I don't have any contact or info on this but just touching on the Sheezel/WA/Home thing. He does give away a quick little insight into his own personal leanings and feelings answering a question at the 6min 40sec mark here: .
The rumours aren't entirely made up or unfounded. His natural inclination and internal processing is that he's not really a fan of the West Coast idea. He's had more interviews and had more explained about housing and opportunities etc since and is slowly "growing up" regarding all the realities but it is known that he's not particularly keen on it. Take that for what it's worth.

Not to mention probably being asked to play a role and not be the man. It would be the first time these players would have had to do that in their life
Bodes well
Sometimes it's good to let someone make a decision for you. I'd be happy for Norf to bid for Ashcroft (their history says they may not) and then take Sheezel. Removes temptation.
If north take Cadman we might have a fair few teams scrambling to offer us overs on pick 2. Could be a blessing
Also, I’m sorry but I can’t understand why anyone wants to kick off a long rebuild by spending pick 2 on a half forward, you can find those later in the draft and grow them somewhat easily
Sheezel is quality no doubt and very exciting but he’s a cherry on top type addition
A pure midfielder or MAYBE Cadman are the only acceptable options for me personally

Wow listening to this Sheezel did initially sound against our club ? Maybe I was wrong to discount the homesickness rumour. Maybe there is truth to it after all ?

For me - WARDLAW
Port seem to think they will get end of R1 for Amon. Pass that for Rioli and we might find a trade to get a low teens with pick 20 or 26
When Sheezle said, "I'm not sure about West Coast, that might be a bit far off." It did kinda sound bad, but I think he meant the draft is a bit far away to start thinking about individual clubs, not that we are physically too far away. He followed up by saying he was happy to go anywhere to play footy.
Hopefully it's all moot anyway and we grab the warlord
