I think the new rules make it harde for them to do that?
Exactly.GWS can choose not to match a bid.
Why would they go after another key forward, they could have had Wright the other year with 3 different picks before he went.GWS say they want a small forward. Surely if he's available, and that they haven't needed to use the Pies pick as no one has made any bids in their academy boys, they take Ainsworth.
The only other one they'd take I believe would be Todd Marshall who they were not allowed to claim as an academy boy

Exactly.
Which they will based on the fact that he's a good player and they get the discount, they aim to take all their first round kids.
They even took himmelberg at 15? Last year it would have to be top5 to stop them matching Setterfield
Marshall would replace McCarthy... No brainer for mine, especially if James Stewart leaves as well. They need to have some backup forwardsWhy would they go after another key forward, they could have had Wright the other year with 3 different picks before he went.
Could see them picking Simpkin though
Yes it's bullshit but he chose to join giants academyPossibly they don't rate him at the pick he is bid on? Possibly they have other priorities (as Rors mentioned)? Possibly they realise he is not committed to living in Sydney longterm?
He's from Albury, which is a 3 hour drive to Melbourne and 5 hour drive to Sydney. He's been boarding in Melbourne for 2 years....plays footy for Sandingram.
Marshall is completely different to McCarthy. More of a Patton type.Marshall would replace McCarthy... No brainer for mine, especially if James Stewart leaves as well. They need to have some backup forwards

They do need some backups but would be surprised if they go him
Who are ours?Marshall would replace McCarthy... No brainer for mine, especially if James Stewart leaves as well. They need to have some backup forwards
Forwards include: Bruce McCartin Riewoldt MembreyWho are ours?
No Marshall in that 'depth' that's for sure. We need someone for post-Roo. Not saying it should be our top priority for next year, but after next year it will be rising up the ranks of our needs.Forwards include: Bruce McCartin Riewoldt Membrey
With swing men that can play forward for spells including: Goddard Carlisle Lee Gilbert, even Acres resting if there's a mismatch deep
Well when do you take top10(5)picks for depth ?No Marshall in that 'depth' that's for sure. We need someone for post-Roo. Not saying it should be our top priority for next year, but after next year it will be rising up the ranks of our needs.
We don't pick for depth but neither do they. If they pick him it's because they think overall they get the best players available in the draft by doing so not for depth.Well when do you take top10(5)picks for depth ?
We can't compete with their selections
Marshall is nothing like Patton he's built like a stickMarshall is completely different to McCarthy. More of a Patton type.

I liked him, but Is hammy prone, good shut down defender as a junior tho.Tanner Smith delisted. campaigner any good?
Tim Taranto and Jack Scrimshaw seem to have gone past Venables.Could someone please tell me. Should we keep pick 10
Who are we likely to be looking at ? Obviously a midfielder, heard big things about Venables however, he only gets 10 disposals a game, Galluci is another I've heard a bit about.
Does anyone know of anyone else we'd be looking at closely
Andrew McGrath a chance to slip to 10?Tim Taranto and Jack Scrimshaw seem to have gone past Venables.
Taranto just could be Bartel.
Neat as in disposal? His kicking is meant to be inconsistent, which, along with his less than ideal height seems to be the main knock on him. If not for those things he'd probably go pick 1 or near enough.Andrew McGrath a chance to slip to 10?
Heard hes neat.
