What I think it will be:

3- Sharp
4- Grlj
38- Emmett if he slides a bit.
Kellaway

My unrealistic wish list would be:

Melbourne absolutely love Robey and go hard for him knowing they still have 2 first rounders next year. We swap 3, 38 and a future second for 7 and 8. I know we need a second next year but we could worry about that next year.

Then the draft (without bids) goes:

1: Duursma WC
2: CCT WC
3: Robey Melb
4: Sharp Rich
5: Cumming Ess
6: X Taylor Ess
7: Grlj Rich
8: Phillipou Rich

Phillipou excites me as much anyone in this draft but taking him at 3 or 4 is too big of a call to make. Adding those three and the flexibility and depth our midfield could have in the future would be so exciting.

Love Phillipou would be great to pair with Kellaway but not sure if we are in the position to take him atm

Mine would be
3: Grjl
4: Lindsay
38: Emmett

Would be a good complement, sure Blair and co have cooked up a plan, definitely have to go best talent with first picks and can have a stab on upside. This draft is all right and surely hard to go too wrong with early picks we have touch wood 🪵🪵🪵
 
WC - #1 - Duursma
GC - #2 - Uwland (Matched Bid)
WC - #3 - CDT
GC - #4 - Patterson (Matched Bid)
RT - #5 - Robey
BL - #6 - Annable (Matched Bid)
RT - #7 - Cumming

Avoids the #6 hoodoo

RT - #33 - Louis Emmett
I doubt that WC will pick Duursma. They already have a potential go home player in Ried. They can’t afford to bring another one in. At the same time they need ready to go support for Reid to try and keep him. I think they will go for CDT and Robey. which means we will get Duursma and Grlj or Cumming
 
the Grlj love has me shot. Love his athleticism, but he’s a skinny half back flanker, untried midfielder, who butchers the ball. Not even top 20 for mine.

Looking at our list profile these all fill a need

Robey
Cumming
Barker if we split, otherwise Sam Allen
Kellaway

Having said that highly rate farrow and would take him over cumming
Cumming is the butcher king so don’t follow your logic for Grlj

Just had another thought. What if WC bid on Uwland at one and Patterson at two. Would GC have the points to match. Paterson and Robey would be a great get for WC
 
Reviewed some tapes and have changed my mind for our 3 picks:
Sharp
Robey
Swaddling

What do like about Swaddling? I don't know anything about him...
 
4: Lindsay

thats giving away too much

Potentially, I still think it’s a win for us if we got Sharp, Grlj and Phillipou. Our future midfield would be very deep and versatile. Replacing Phillipou with one of melbournes future firsts could be another option but only think they would consider gold coasts and not there’s and then we’d likely say no.

Second rounders push back so far after free agency compensation these days that they really aren’t worth what they should be.
