tell me more please
Crows look like finishing low enough to get draiper with their first and before a bid on Walsh comes in .Prediction.
We finish last.
Have pick one...move it on (split it) to crows for their first pick (6-8) and Curtin.

Hard one to predict.
I wouldn’t trade Barnett. Has shown significant development this season. I rate him highly.
I am looking forward to seeing how they:
For me personally at this early stage I think the top 10 is very even. Big call but I wouldn’t rank anyone from this years draft in the top 3 players of last years draft.
Wouldn’t be against splitting this year but that may change as the season goes on if someone really stands up.
Some guys that aren’t necessarily playing as defenders but possibly could, at AFL level worth keeping an eye on from the talent league that aren’t being spoken about in here include.
Damon Hollows (Cannons) has a good leg on him, matched up and broke even on Levi Ashcroft in there match against Sandi.
Harrison Oliver (Sandi) is a good outside mid that uses the ball well. Could offer run and ball use out of defence.
Harvey Langford (Stingrays) Has good height and size 190cm yet plays like a midfielder, better suited to outside for me, could see him on a half back flank offering offensive rebound.
Benjamin Hopkins (Stingrays) good general defender, plays a bit like Hough. 190cm. Makes pretty good decisions and defensively is good. Upgrade on Rotham?
Lucas McInerney ( Knights) is playing well in the wing. Good kick of the football and makes sound decisions.
Patrick Retschvo (Oak) Plays on the wing too and is one of the better kicks in his class. Had a poor game last week couldn’t get his hands on it. Haven’t seen today’s results.
Luke Trainor ( Sandi) has been shown in here by noobermensch. Worth watching his video clip. Lots to like about him.
A couple of potential key position prospects who to me look like they have good kpd potential are the Whitlock twins at Murray. Matt stands at 199cm and Jack 200cm. Big kids that can both play.
There’s more but that might be enough reading for today
I'm not convinced, beaten by Branchi in the WAFL today.
Apologies for the critique it’s probably not required. I’m just struggling to see anyone who genuinely stands out. I’ll keep that to myself going forward.I am looking forward to seeing how they:
1. Progress as the season rolls on.
2. There showing at the Champs for Vic Country.
Thanks for the critique.
Agree Trainor looks very promosing.
Jack took round one honours with 4 goals and looked very good. Matt was the better player last week playing as a kpd. Then again they may have just swapped jumpers and no one would know lol
Still unsigned? Might not have a choice
Welsh isn't really a tall forward is he ? Kind of in between .
I agree. If you end up with two top 10 mids in the league (eg Reid and 2024 pick 1) then you're pretty much there for finals. The only way you wouldn't is if your defence and forwards were both bottom 8.
His son
Had 21 disposals and a goal for the Claremont colts today. Got 17 and a goal in the first round. 16 years old. I wasn't there personally, but from what I've heard he looked pretty good.
He had injuries last year. Any smart manager would have waited for this year to maximise his value. Will probably work as he is showing glimpses and even got into the team in rnd 2.
If we get English id maybe entertain this, id like something added to our side of the trade though.
Hes 191cm, a lot of draftees arent done growing fully. Probably gains a few more cm
Nah would be nice but need patience, free agent next year or nothing.
Not a free agent just out of contract next year.
If he is left out of Norfs side isn't that enough of a red flag?
He reminds me of Masten in his early years, when he was initially an inside mid. They can read the tap well and have slick hands but too small and lacks burst pace to really be effective in there. Masten had a solid kick and elite endurance to become a winger, don't think Phillips has either (a year off from Glandular fever doesn't help).
