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

We could stuff that up by threatening to trade 3 to a club that wants McCartin or take him ourselves.

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.

Jaksch is 196cm, have seen it as 197cm sometimes, pretty good height for a KPP.

We either get Petracca or Brayshaw at 2 ... win win

Knowing our luck if we were to go down this path one will become an absolute star of the game - that game changer we needed, while the other is nothing more than depth and the one we selected.

Everyone then harps on as to why we didn't pick player X instead of player Y.

That well could be the case. It certainly would be a bit more balanced.

A source close to the family (I hate that I wrote this but its true) tells me that he was super impressed with our interviewing process and really wants to get to us. If we like him as much the deal could be as good as done.

For all we know, Brayshaw may go at pick 1 (ok he won't but still), won't be ours or any deal done until end of draft day.

Talks a bit about training with us, and also that he's aspiring to be more like Christian Salem. Wants to be able to do inside and outside the way Salem can, and that he considers him a good mate.

What a brutal choice between this guy and (potentially) Danger. Apparently Roos spent A LOT of time on the phone today at the 'G while observing combine drills.

More like pick 7 or 13 will be a star and everyone on here will be saying that we could have got him at pick 2 but we went for breaysaw who isn't any good because he hasn't won a brownlow in his second season.

So Roosy spending alot of time on the phone automatically means we are a big chance for Danger?

Ok.....

Where did I say that? If anything I think it means he'd be dealing with countless trade options and working out what to do.

I reckon Roos has had the Brayshaw and Dangerfield double header lined up since Frawley showed his hand months ago.

Please make it so.

Yep thats what I was thinking aswell.

I hope we put in a bid somewhere for Tyler, if we can.

Why because he is Paul Roos son?

I have seen Tyler play. Turn over king.

thats OK, if he's any chip off the block he'll tidy that up along the way. I'm talking after the 3rdRnd somewhere?

i don't think we have to choose... Dangerfield is a proven A grade player, but giving up picks 2 and 3 is way overs and I doubt it's the kind of trade Roos would make... It just doesn't make sense?

Might mean nothing but Angus and PR were having a chat and a laugh with each other before his presser today. Looked very chummy. He was chatting with Tyler during the presser as well.

And PR said he wouldn't give up 2 and 3 for Danger or anyone for that matter. Said it would be player and picks, so he's obviously got an eye on his options at the top end of the draft. Methinks he's super keen on Angus.

The ideal situation would be pick 2 and a player for Dangerfield, I just can't see it happening.

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.

Hi Brett Anderson from SEN.....

Again.

I never saw your prediction and thought I came up with that one myself.

I don't think Brayshaw will be there at 6. Might have to use 3

Imagine trading 3 to doggies for 6 and Dalhaus, nabbing Petracca at 2 and Brayshaw still being there at 6!!! Highly unlikely, but would be a great draft win if we could get it done.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
