It is most likely Panos could slide to Pick 18 if Adelaide keeps Kurt Tippet.

If he signs with the Gold Coast, Panos is more likely to be a Crow with there 1st round pick.

I would very much like Panos to be available at Pick 18.

Fingers crossed!

    Last year I was hoping that Swift would slide to our 3rd pick...and he did...but we didn't take him. /sigh

    I guess there's a lesson somewhere in there to be learnt

    What has Tippet signing got to do with Panos. If he signs with GC17 that will be a year after Panos is drafted.

    Dont see what the loss is with Swift. He cannot hit the side of a barn with his kicking and his decision making appears quite substandard.

    It's impossible to know what clubs are looking at doing in the draft. Adelaide wouldn't be the only club considering Panos with an early pick.

    It seems as though Panos has been forgotten about?

    Under 18 All-Australian full forward, worth a look at pick 18?

    From what I understand, he's slipped a bit because of the perceived lack of potential improvement in him. A little one-dimensional.

    Swift did look great in round 22, however I would think the recruiters would still choose Strauss over Swift every time.

    Swift is not a great kick of the footy. He turns it over and is not particularly penetrating or accurate.

    Strauss on the other hand is a perfect, strong, penetrating and accurate kick of the footy. That is what our recruiters are basing their selections on. Unfortunately Swift doesn't have that important quality.

    Strauss was said to be the best kick in the draft and Blease was rated as a top 10 pick in pretty much every phantom draft I saw. Neither played last year but that doesn't mean they aren't great selections.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
