Just watched draft combine vid on the afl site and Callum Twomey (draft expert) has mcartin still going at 1 so if the saint don't trade number 1 to gws we could still get Petracca at 2. As much as would love the danger man at the dees coming away from the draft with petracca, Brayshaw, strech and maybe gore would be a great result.

Have a great feeling about Brayshaw. Petracca has all the focus but I think the hype may be out of kilter slightly.

GWS will get Petracca via trade. It's not even a question. Forget about getting him because it just isn't going to happen.

Even Whateley said it is a fait accompli that they'll trade a few players to Saints just to get the first pick. They have to shrink their list by 3 this season.

Brayshaw is the one i want.

Unsure how he could be there at 6 though?

The comment was trade Pick 2 to the dogs for a mid and pick 6.

Use pick 3 on Brayshaw and still have pick 6 left to trade or use in the draft.

I'd use pick 6 in that scenario on Mitchell and their second rounder/ Malcheski

Agree. If the Saints know we won't take McCartin, they could still get him at 4 if we keep 2 & 3 and they get a player from GWS for giving them Petracca while they still get the guy they really want. What a great deal,for the Saints.

The only danger for the Saints would be if we trade 2 or 3 to a club that want McCartin. Wight would then be the consolation prize.

I am actually warming to taking Brayshaw and McCartin then Stretch and more mids. Could this be the chance to get our Buddy and Roughy with McCartin and Hogan. All we would need if they are good in coming drafts and trades would be class mids.

We are going to trade at least one pick I would Say so the saints can't count on mccartin getting to pick 4

I think the lure of a tall forward might be what gives that pick value for us

Brayshaw 187cm and 87kg already. Great foot skills. Good inside. Increasing speed.

Hmmmmm nice...

Yep, weighs twice as much as Grimes already.

Seriously though, great size for a young mid.

From what I'm hearing that deal's already done in principal.

O'Rourke, Jaksch & 4 for Pick 1. Saints massive winners there.

Either one would be a good get and if Mcartin is considered the best, then why wouldn't we be rapted to grab him at two? He's rated that highly for a reason, Mcartin and Hogan would be a pretty solid forward pare...

It would be awesome to have Dangerfield come to us and I'd be rapted if it actually happens, what ever we give up.... Though it would be very risky to use picks 2 and 3 on him, especially if he gets an injury like Clark... Taking one of Petracca or Mcartin at two and trading three for Parker and pick 17 or Greenwood, Atley and pick 16, would be far less risky...

Silly Saints. O'Rourke & Jordan Gysberts seprated at birth in terms of playing style. Jaksch is yet to be proven, 193 cm not tall enough for KP at best 3rd tall maybe.

Alot to give up for pick number 1.

Am I the only one put off by his kicking?

You are to kicking what that dude was to 192cm. What was his name? Great poster. Always made the worst calls.

Ridiculous. A 3 place upgrade for 2 good players. GWS are not that stupid, are they?

Posted

If you are talking about O'Rourke, I posted after watching him in a couple of gamesthat he would fit in perfectly with us as he had poor disposal. Therefore we agree.

Posted

If Dangerfield chase goes nowhere, bit of talk of trading pick 2 to the Bulldogs for 6 and a very good young mid.

Rationale being Brayshaw still there at 6 due to talls wanted elsewhere, and he's the man we want.

If Dangerfield chase goes nowhere and we get Pick 3 for Frawley this would see us with Picks 3 & 6. Lot of talk guaranteeing Saints will trade Pick 1 to GWS for their first pick which would be Pick 4.

If what you say is correct the draft would be

1) GWS - all pointing to Petracca

2) Dogs - enough good young mids so take who they think is best Mcartin or Wright

3) Dees - time to make the tough call you assume Saints and Brissy are going to take either the left of Mcartin or Wright, Brissy's midfield is okay but Saints need mids as well so do you take Brayshaw here or Mcartin.

4) Saints - if Mcartin and Wright are gone do they see Brayshaw as the best mid because to give up Pick 1 I think they will have gained Jaksch

5) Lions - as it stands but will the Pies have this pick for Beams they need defenders so Durdin could come into play

6) Dees - is Brayshaw still available

Big Risk if Brayshaw is the one we want

Brayshaw. Happy to be proven wrong as I've not seen him live but his highlights didn't excite.

Posted

The deal that's been mentioned is pick 1 and 21 for O'Rourke, Jacksh and pick 4, I thought?

That would stop Saints nominating Stretch and Ryder would stop Port. More chance of Billy getting to our 3rd round.

Posted

If I'm Chris Pelchen sell the club to Jaksch if you really want him, he is out of contract and pick him up Pick 1 in PSD if GWS really want Petracca that bad then get someone else with Pick 1.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
