Twomey also mentioned GC Darwin zone linked Brodie Lake who is playing in the SANFL u18 s as t the moment.

seems to be a powerful midfielder.

many draft watchers or south aussies seen anything of him?
 
It was a weird throwaway comment and from my limited knowledge I would agree. Find some of the ratings of Western a bit weird though. I get the size is a concern but he’s legit probably the best colts player the last two years, dominates every game but struggles to get into peeps top 40. Don’t pretend to be an expert though so I’ll defer to you guys

Over the last two years? Depends what you mean by best but statistically (ignoring those that also went on to play WAFL seniors) Trent Rivers, Deven Robertson, Trey Ruscoe, Zane Trew even Liam Henry say hi!
 
Are there any other point deficits that need to be accounted for, other than Freo?

I don't think the Crows will take Thilthorpe with their 1st pick but time will tell, I don't see him as clear number 1 pick in this draft and I doubt Hamish Ogilvie would think so too. If he wasn't a South Aussie I'd be extremely confident of that.
I think the Crows bid on JUH to make the Bulldogs pay for the way they acted over Keath. It really, really, really pissed off the club. That I can tell you (that it pissed them off, not that they will bid).
If everything was equal the club would go for Holland's, but the knee is going to weigh big time. No way the club can use pick 1 on player with injury concerns. We lack forwards as well as mids, and its harder to find good forwards than mids.
In that scenario I could see us taking RT.
 
I imagine Jones is 10-12, and Schofield around 30?

jones 10-25. Schofield 30- rookie. Closer to rookie.

I’m not a fan of Schofield. He’s being rated on what he produced as a 16yr old. Since then he’s been constantly injured, and tonnes of prospects have flown past him. He doesn’t have the size to be an inside mid (his frame is small so he isn’t adding a lot of size to it, compare his frame to a guy like Campbell who has lots of power already in it). He doesn’t get outside enough. He’s the second touch guy outside packs which at afl level gets shutdown very easy with bulk numbers around stoppages. His best case scenario is if he adds an outside running ability like a Brad hill. His ability to make decisions by foot and pick out targets in the blink of an eye is very good though. I honestly would let him go elsewhere if father / son (Jarrad is an assistant coach at Port) would prefer to avoid working together. In fact if Adelaide freo or eagles bid on him I don’t see why he wouldn’t choose them.

Totally agree with you. Seen him play a few times and does nothing to excite me. Small, not quick, chips the ball sideways 15 to 20 metres never seems to break a line. His skills seem to be more pretty than hurtful. To his defence he had a terrible run with a bad ankle last year.
 
Lores nominal draft order has all the defects listed, I believe Port and GWS have some points to make up for
Fremantle in deficit 264.92 points.

Other clubs 254.2 Giants 115.93 Port

I guess it's just a question of what round they get applied to?

Deficits will be applied to clubs current picks, at the end of the finals and before trade period starts.

Both Fremantle’s and GWS’s will come off their first picks. So Fremantle’s first round pick, and GWS’s second round pick as they do not hold a first round pick.

I believe Port’s deficit occurred from a second round bid, so it will come off the first of their second round picks.

Once trade period starts, all three teams will then be able to trade in new picks, without those picks being affected, as the deficits will have already been payed.
 
Go the Giants current pick 26 becomes pick 38?

And Port's pick 25 becomes 30. Interesting (and will obviously change by the end of the year).

O'Driscoll seriously building today...
Yep very good showing

Powell with a lazy 47 touches and 2 goals. West Adelaide are shocking though in the 18s.
 
McDonald today not screaming pick 1 IMO, crumbing goals are good but is he a KPF at AFL level?
Perth’s forwardline entries haven’t helped him at all, only one of those goals was a crumb but 3 goals is still good going. 2 short of what Thilthorpe has got for the year ;)

I'm not taking either with pick 1 personally.
 
My boy Nathan O'Driscoll with a very good display. His tackling is elite
I’ve been a big fan and loved Perth giving him some midfield time aswell, his workrate his outstanding and won’t play another 18s game for Perth I suspect.

I was just looking at Tom Powell's testing results, he stacks up pretty well athletically with endurance maybe needing some work.
Given testing was early in the year and with his run of injuries over the last couple of years maybe he was a bit underdone re his endurance as he doesn't seem to have a problem getting from contest to contest match day. I think he compares most favourably with Harry Schoenberg's season in the lead up to the Nationals?
