It will be pick 1 and 3.

We will take Scully at 1 obviously.

Dockers may take Trengove at pick 2.

So who would people like at pick 3?

We could still beat the Roos too. I don't think we will, but on today's performance we could very well win it. Then there's Carlton, who aren't the most reliable side either.

Fair call. But who should we take at pick 2 or 3?

We all know the names by now, its too late for a real smoky to appear.

Trengove, Morabito, Butcher, Lucas, Rohan, Koby Stevens...

I'll chuck in Lewis Jetta too.

Lewis Jetta looks to be an absolute marvel.

Cyril Rioli, but even better.

Would take him at pick 3 for sure.

Check out Lewis Jetta playing in the WAFL state game at the age of 17.

The goal at 1:40 is insane.

Time to start speculating on who we'll take 1 & 2 now that its a virtual certainty.

As others have suggested it will likely be picks 1 and 3.

It is far from a forgone conclusion though. We will beat Freo I think. But Freo still have home games against Port Adelaide and Essendon to come. Depending on which Freo shows up and which Port and Essendon show up, Freo could pinch one of those which would give us picks 1 and 2.

Either way, we're getting Scully and another quality player. That's enough for me to know.

Good vid, but there is so many stupid highlights in those videos. One highligh was the ball going over jetta's head and someone else kicked the goal, why would we want to see that.

A west coast mate of mine has said for some time that they are really interested in Morabito with their first pick. Clearly the home sickness issue is a major one for all clubs. With the strength of the WA team at the Nationals he was talking up their local crop as having some great options.

Scully and Trengrove for mine - -Maybe Butcher might sneek through to our second round pick (19 I guess), wouldn't that be the perfect result! ( I know, dreaming)

Best case scenario is Scully and Trengove. Hope that if freo gets pick 2 they pick a WA boy (Lucas or Morabito). Saying that i would be happy with Morabito or Rohan at pick 3 anyway.

Looks very good. Whether he's worth a pick 2 or 3 is the question. But you never know what the scouts are saying and thinking.

Is he Neville's brother or cousin?

The thing about drafting is that half the game is assessing where other clubs are ranking the players. We might consider Jetta to be worth a pick 3, but if the other clubs rate him further down the list, it's worth hanging about and hoping he might fall to a later pick for us and picking someone else with pick 3.

From what I understand, in 2007 we were considering both Morton and Grimes with our pick 4. We went with Morton and couldn't believe our luck when Grimes was still available at pick 14. So you never know how it's going to pan out.

Anyway, he looks good. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Melbourne jumper. It's just the price that is the question.

No surprises here:

1. Scully

2. Trengove

WE by know means have sown up the priority pick YET.

It's a fools paradise to think that before we play North then FREo'.

Lets Keep our eye on the pill.

I bet we'l beat nrth and freo now

Don't even think it.

I actually have some hope now that we'll even lose the Freo game. They did get up by 50 points against us by half time last year. Granted they lost, and granted it's a different team... But I'd suggest the players would be HUGELY hungry for a win, and we may be their only chance for the rest of the year.

If we do end up losing to them, then it's done and dusted. We could start barracking for the team to win again, and be assured of picks 1 and 2.

no chance for north. Crocker desperately wants and needs a win if he is to be the coach next season, and the players are openly saying they want to get a win for him.

I hope we absolutely [censored] Freo though.....8 goals

Not as good as the one at 7:40... from about 70 out...

I question the opposition though. They're all grown men, even some AFL listed guys, but they were moving like treacle.

Looks pretty spesh, in any case,

Dockers may take Trengove at pick 2.

i doubt they would take trengove.. i am pretty sure they would stick with a local boy just incase they bail on them..

..plus it is Freo.. they will probably trade it for some old guy or pick some hack predicted to go round 5 or something stupid :lol:

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
