Pick 27

[TradeDraft]

Pull the trigger on Mitchell Brown at pick 27...

Maybe but 27 might be early for a mature ager

I have to admit, one of the very few times when I have not taken an interest in who the young guns are besides top 2! Pick 27 meh.

He won't be available at our next selection. If we want him, have to use pick 27.

Wouldn't be the worst decision. Can't see them doing it though.

You are a foolish fellow.

Willie Rioli was drafted by Hawthorn in 1990 but never managed a senior game.

There's been plenty of Rioli's playing over the years (at a lower level) who haven't been deemed good enough for the big league, one is at Glenelg in the SANFL currently and he looks nowhere near AFL standard.

So recruiters obviously know which Rioli to pick then.

Nearly always, they just got it wrong with Willie!

Why not? Will go to first picked draftee. Doesn't matter if our first pick is #1 or #101.

Recruiters don't get fooled by names that easily. There would be keener to know what his talent levels are like and if the player can play at the level.

They're a big family, but they also have 3 separate Norm Smith Medalists in their ranks. Pretty amazing stuff.

He would be a very clever selection IMO. In his prime, plenty of AFL experience and clearly has the hunger. He's a good fit, more mature than Moore and younger than Cloke. Can play at both ends too which gives us flexibility especially if (when!) Reid breaks down.
We are clearly thinking that we are on the cusp of being contenders judging by our recruitment so far this off season. I say go for it with Mitch Brown. The last time we recruited a versatile big Brown he helped bring home a premiership for us.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I think we would be ecstatic if a guy like Mitchell Hibberd or Harley Balic made it through, but that's pretty unlikely.

A tall could be possible, but it's hard to project who'd be available there.

It's the right time to take a punt on a talent like Daniel Rioli or Callum Ah Chee if they slid that far too.

It's hard to project who's going to be available with the shifting nature of the draft though.

Why? Lol

In the seniors

Right. Maybe, maybe not.

Didn't see it the year Scharenberg had it either. Not too uncommon.

I think ita a shame....famous number should be on a good player permanently......

Absolutely with you on that. I think it was a fantastic sentiment to honor the sacrifice Presti made to put the team first on the eve of the big one, but to never see a player make that number their own just like Presti did is a massive shame. I'm sure we could have thought up something else that would have sufficed, like a club trophy or something.

We can only hope...

Daicos son will have it permanently.

 

[soreplums]

Daicos son will have it permanently.

Which one?

What if we give it to the eldest and both he and the youngest are on our list? Then the eldest doesn't make it. Do we hand it over to the youngest?

 

[Seedsfan]

We recruited a tall forward who can play second ruck last year. His name is Darcy Moore.

Our need is outside pace or a crumbing forward

And who is going to play up forward with him in a few years when the team is hitting its straps?

 

[Smoky]

Yes.

But Daicos jr and jr jr will both make it...

Terrible problem to have! I'm excited.

 

[soreplums]

Yes.

If they do, then I'm one happy Magpie!

Gee he sounds alright doesn't he? Wouldn't be upset with us taking a KP type with his size and swing ability at 27. Small creative fwd at 2nd pick; Frost upgrade at 3rd.

DFA or PSD with remaining list spot.

Perhaps not much if you don't follow the VFL. However, outside injury, most 2nd rounders get a run at sometime.
