The only thing with this is rocket has history of getting offside with certain players and once it happens it's very hard to get back on his good side. For my mind he is easily the most targetable player for us. No home state advantage/disadvantage, already travelling every second week. Offer him some good money and it covers at least one of our weaknesses going forwards.
Agreed.

Could be a Hawthorn / Brian Lake type pick up for us.

I think from what I read it was that he wasn't adhering to the team defensive structures and was just purely trying to be offensive. I don't see that type of play going down well with Simmo if he did the same thing (see Bennell).
Would easily replace Lecras then! We need the talent injection, and I'm sure a preseason with Pridda would teach how to defend the space. Get it done Crazy Vozzo!

Aaron Hall is exactly the kind of player we already have to much off. He doesn't get the hard ball, it would be like a 5% upgrade on Masten and even that is up for debate considering Masto actually defends.

That is my thoughts. We need contested beasts and would rather prestia who reminds me of Kerr.

Nothing like any of them because he has pace, a good kick, kicks goals and isn't 'vanilla' or one dimensional. Would definitely go after him if we can.

sorry Barney
Your message only showed Sam Pepper Powell who else do you like ?

SPP or Rotham (only if we develop as a mid best kick in this draft)
Shai Bolton or will drew
Tim English or Strnadica or Bailey Banfield
Zac Fisher or Stan Wright

That would be a great draft for us

Rookie
Liam Ryan
Mitchell Dobson (seriously think he will be a afl player and will only go in the rookie draft)
Jake Patmore

Will be great year to get a second third or second rounder draft pick.
So if we can get a trade for Mitch Brown and Tom Lamb would do it this year.
Only trade I would look at would be Jarrod Pickett for a second rounder if his home sickness
means he asks for a trade home this year.
If the unlikely scenario Gaff leaves that gives another top 5 pick to use on a inside mid

I think we need a big clear out this year:

Damian Cavka
Patrick McGinnity
Jamie Bennell
Malcolm Karpany
Xavier Ellis

Sam Butler (stays for one more year)

Possible Trades
Tom Lamb
Mitch Brown

Rookies Gone
Brant Colledge
Simon Tunbridge
Kane Lucas

Keep Brophy and Adamson on the international rookie list for another year

So much genuine WA depth this year best year I think for ten years for WA draftee's

remember watching for Norwood and thinking that he would be a perfect for for us.


Hows Rothams contested game? I see that everyone see's him as a midfielder. His decision making and foot skills seem to be supreme but it would be nice if his contested game is also good. we really need to bring some good contested players in.

Still spewing we never picked up Jeff Garlett when he was available.

We passed, and i really loath the fact Melbourne got him for practically nothing.

Specialist small forward? Nah we got Hams, Newman and Karpany for that bro.
Only allowed a maximum of 2 Exers per team

Haven't checked out much local talent for a few years now. Not on the footy field anyway.

With you on the depth from WA. I was really disappointed last year with the WA options and hence happy when we went fishing in Vic and SA. Really liked what I saw at the Vic Metro game.

We may want to hold onto a couple of these as the 2017 draft is seen as even stronger (especially Vic talent). Losing 10 in one year could be destabilising. I would want to cap it at 7 so for me Ellis, McGinnity and Karpany (also as a rookie since he is contracted thru to end 2017) would work.

The thing I like about McGinnity is that he turns up and puts his name forward for selection each and every week with honest performances. If we needed to pick him this week, fine. Not anyone's first choice but I believe he would get the job done. Ellis can be on a pay as you play basis so not taking up cap and adding experience and depth.

Liking the way you are shaping our picks. I think we will have 7 spots to fill and why not fill our boots with local talent. Agree with many of your suggestions - here is my input

1st Round - we want something really elite
SPS: the most dazzling prospect in the draft and doubt we will have to lose something seriously good to get a top 2-3 pick. That may be a Gaff going or selling our 2017 1st rounder.
If we are picking positions 10 to 18, then in this order
- Josh Rotham: elite in his kicking, his decision making and his reading of the ball. Has skills that Hawthorn highly value
- Will Brodie: inside/outside mid who wins his own ball and kits targets. Got an early leg injury in the WA game - showed his upside in the Vic Metro game
- SPP: elite as someone that imposes himself on the game and provides the physicality we are missing

2nd Round

Whilst this year has an abundance of good mids, the talls will be taken earlier because there are slip pickings
- Luke Strnadica: will be the person to take over from JK. Hoped his 2016 Colts form would see him slip but he is delivering in the carnival.
- Jeremy Goddard: expecting him to go in the 20's and he will be ready in 2 to 3 years.

3rd Round
Possibly 3 to get as I think a Lamb trade and Brown compo may be likely
- Bailey Banfield: he should be around the mark and has great midfield attributes that sees him consistently dominate (loves playing in the guts)
- Cam Zurhaar: big bodied mid that can go forward and impact on the scoreboard
- Jake Waterman: expect him at this range as we will get F/S discount
- Shai Bolton: fast, skilled, moves through traffic and stays on his feet at clearances and when tackled. Light so may start off as outside or even small forward
- Matt Guelfi: does a lot of things really well and manages to be at the right place right time. Like Bolton - reads the centre square clearances

4th to Rookie
Zac Fischer: small forward option
Aiden Clarke: HBF with great vision (quarterback style set up)
Brad Fullgrabe: tall target with strong hands - more FF than CHF at this stage
