No thoughts on Lachlan Jones moving up a bit?
Hmm maybe a bid at crows pick but yeah can’t say I’ve given my RMD much thought with the draft order and players not really moving much.

Hey eDPS time for me to consider a slightly wider draft pool beyond Eddie Ford and Finlay Macrae.

How do Caleb Poulter and Jack Carrol compare to Ford in terms of potential and best position at AFL level.

I know it’s a hard question to answer with Ford not playing.

I have searched through your thread and read your posts and player profile for all three.

And are there any other mid/half forwards that might be in the same ball between 15 and 25 range.

A bit of talk on our board that we might look at another back flanker with top line speed who can break lines.

But I haven’t read of any non academy tied players that might fit the bill from SA or WA in that range.

I think Carroll and Poulter have more midfield potential but not the game breaking ability up forward that Ford has.

I put up a list of players and where their DR is so if you can find that you could figure out a few players in the ball park.
 
Think it'll be interesting with some of the QLD academy talent this year, with quite a few being draftable but not many fitting their clubs needs, or in the case of Gold Coast not being a top tier talent, there could be some bargains. Of the Suns and Lions kids who do you think gets passed on by their club? Looking at guys like Abberly, Johnston, Pescud, Michael and Gore (again) especially I think other clubs could snag some good ones later on in the draft, so I guess I'm asking which are most likely of that group to get picked/ matched by their club
 
I think this is the draft that the Swans go for a KPP. I doubt Thilthorpe will get past Adelaide's pick, but if he does I'd expect us to snap him up, otherwise I'd tip us for Denver Grainger-Barass or Logan McDonald. The last few drafts have got us covered for mids, Stephens, Warner, Rowbottom, Florent, we've got Campbell and Gulden via the academy. Blakey, Heeney, and Mills are cycling through there at times. We could use a top level big bodied mid but I suspect we'll target somebody like Constable via trade rather than picking somebody up in the draft when there are KPP's that are elite and fit our needs.
Thilthorpe will not get past the crows.

Good work.

What are your thoughts on Port trading out one off there picks considering any bid on Jones will move them back? Would they be able to and have the points for Jones and Schofield.

Port has picks 25 and 27 in the 2nd round and some 3rd round picks.
Guess they will need to weigh up where those players are likely to get bid on and how likely they are to go into deficit with the picks they have. They won’t want to go into deficit with such a strong draft next year so it will be interesting to see what they do although I think with what they have now it should be enough to match the bids while also not going into deficit.

Could probably trade up to a mid first rounder with those picks, trade with the Dogs so we get a few more points and you get a first rounder in that's hopefully before Jones?

Would still depend on if any bids come early and Adelaide have a few so no doubt they might try.

Was thinking more along the lines of trading out pick 25 for a player like Hately from GWS but would take an earlier pick also. From SA, not much game time and GWS will might need to get rid of some players. Will be interesting to see what happens, that still leaves us with pick 27 and a heap of 3rd rounders to have enough points for Jones and Schofield.
 
Thilthorpe will not get past the crows.
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’m expecting crows will end up 1 & 2. I expecting Hollands at 1. There is not much separating Thilthorpe and MacDonald who are different types of forwards. Crows have been on record stating they take the local lad first if they are equal to other high prospects.

We have a Brad Crouch thread don’t we?

 
No league call-ups for Western or Walker this week eDPS, might shill out the $7 to watch the colts game.

Hope Western gets a league call up before long, wasting his time in colts (unless we've asked him to stay there to keep dat price down).

Twomey gave Western a shout out today in the draft podcast but I'm not sure if that's just reading stats or actual recruiter word of mouth

I was very surprised for twomey to say he thinks western goes really early without mentioning Brandon walker. I think a bid will come for walker well before western.

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
