Our later draft picks

[Pivot]

Who do you think will be available? I've heard good players such as Muston, Hocking, Bode, Bower, Carlile amongt others might go late or even very late in the draft. Are they any good? Would we want them at the Blues in 2006? Or do we trade the picks for players? Or maybe even go for Justin Crow and/or Matt Priddis?

There may be a trade for a ruckman, but beyond that I see no reason to trade away our future.

Grae Grant from the Perth club in the WAFL. Was very highly rated (top 10) but was not picked in the WA team. 184 cm quick and skilled midfielder.
Think he is injured now because he has not played at all in July in the Colts for Perth.
The sort of player who a club might take a gamble on or he may slip through to the very late rounds.

Agree, need to have a draft year similar to Geelong when they got Kelly, Bartel, Ling, Johnson, etc. No trading of our draft picks. We need to get 2 or 3 more if possible, particularly early picks. We want another top 10 pick so that we have 3 in total and probably something like 4 or 5 top 20-25 picks. Hope im not dreaming too much but the Hawks did it last year and got 5 kids in the top 25, all good kids too - Roughead, Franklin, Lewis, Murphy and ??? plus Kirkby and Young as rookies!
