olisik made a good point in the Under 18 carnival thread about Toumpas, Stringer and Wines.

I don't watch the under 18s very often but looking at today's game I would go with:-

■ Toumpas;

■ Stringer; or

■ Wines

Thoughts?

    sorry forgot to mention him, I'm assuming that we are definitely taking him no matter what

    does anyone think stringer could fall to pick 12? Or is he too highly rated

    Thoughts?

    Toumpas for me. Sounds like the perfect match for Viney at 3. Class and pace to go with Jacks mad attack at the footy.

    If we are KOTD and Viney makes it through to the second round I'd take Toumpas and Wines.

    Stringer could be a slider imo and he might still be there at our mid round compo pick but I'd take Mayes or Colquhuon before him if they were available.

    v Garlett

    Feel like garlett will be ready for us at pick 12

    It'll probably be pick 13. I've got a feeling he will continue to climb. He could be worth the reach at pick 4.

    Oliver Wines for sure! reminds me of dustin martin alot! good head on his shoulders too.

    Cant take him with pick 4, thats a big stretch I think.

    I'd risk him being there at 13, look he probably wont be - but theres some good kids between 4 and 13, very good kids.

    SA have an abundance of quality young talent that will go high.

    Wines over Stringer and Toumpas.

    I think Wines goes at 3, then we decide who we take at 4, which is wide open!

    Absolutely spot on, that is the comparison I made aswell, not Sylvia, Martin!

    Well balanced on both sides, ferocious, desperate and has that shrug.

    Toumpas at 3, Stringer at 4, Mayes at 12, Viney second round. I also really like Wines, but top 5 is too early and he won't last til 12.

    Stringer is a brute.

    That said, we might off-load one of our first round picks.

    What's the best place to read information about these guys; i.e. teams, positions, height etc.

    Toumpas clearly on that showing. Although he slowed down in the second half, his ball getting, composure, kicking action (especially the posture) and ball use were all fantastic.

    By the way, that smallish leftie Kennedy (?) is a Shannon Grant lookalike. If he were available in the second round, I'd grab him. He will play a lot of footy - very nice penetrating kick and gets the ball well.

    Toumpas. 15 handball receives. Just the kind of player we need

    First time I've seen him but didn't strike me as an outsider. Good reader/presenter I guess. On a related note, the commentators spoke about Vic Country's lack of spread.

    I didn't see the whole game.What did people think of Whitfield (clear #1 pick apparently)?

    26 disposals (20 kicks) at 92% efficiency. Certainly is the type of player we need

    For those that have watched a bit of the championships, is Martin and Hogan worth going for in the mini draft?

    Using Gold Coast and Adelaide as a guide.

    Mini Pick # 1 -> Pick 4 and Mid 1st round compensation pick

    Mini Pick # 2 -> Pick 10 and 1st round compensation pick

    So if we wanted to get mini pick one, we would most likely have to part with pick 4 and 13.

    Would people be happy with....

    Mini Draft Pick # 1 - Jack Martin/Jesse Hogan

    Pick # 3 - Jimmy Toumpas/Jake Stringer/Ollie Wines

    2nd Round Pick - Jack Viney

    whitfield is a jet.

    toumpas (no 's'), wines at #3 and #4 for me, then kennedy with the mid-range pick, followed by viney with the second-rounder.

    i'd love grundy with the mid-range pick, but he won't last - wouldn't be surprised to see gws snap him up.

    i'd rate toumpas and wines over martin and hogan, and we could probably get both, but it'd be hard to be opposed to it.

    No way, not a hope in hell.

    Your saying we package pick 4 and 13 to get Martin, not happening.

    Garlett is the equal of Martin and we probably get him for 13 alone!

    On top of that, at pick 4, we will get a better player than Martin.

    So, 4 and 13, makes no sense at all for me.

    O'Meara would go number 1 in this draft - or VERY close to it.

    I think Martin is good - but the most I would go is pick 13 and a player.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
