Our draft day focus will be on our FS and accumulating sufficient points to secure Brown & Daicos. They'll burn effigies of Hine & Eddie at the Holden Centre if they bigger these two up.
Outside of them I don't expect we'll be overly active on the pick front in the first 2 rounds, if clubs bid earlier than we expect for these two it may well soak up our points and push into the back end rounds. Like when Doggies bid early for Darcy. Not exactly sporting of them.
It looks like our activity will more likely involve direct cattle swaps in the trade period e.g. Williams to Freo and a some cross dealings with another club to secure us Mayne.
I'm still getting my head around this points system.
The father's club, if it wishes to select the son, must then use its next one or more draft picks until the total points value of the surrendered picks adds up to the value of the draft pick used by the bidding, less a discount – which is either 20% of the bid value or 197 points (equivalent to pick No. 56), whichever is greater.
Any points left over after reaching the bid value result in the draft pick being shuffled down the order.
Outside of FS selections we need to focus on our KPD stocks - FB & CHB that can move laterally combined with running backmen. Brown isn't a solution and poor old Reid is stuck together with tape. We need a trade coup in this space more than any other area on the ground.
We can't launch a premiership campaign over the next few years without getting the back 6 cemented.
