seems to be a lot of people putting Jackson at 3 but I don't think it will happen.

I can see us calling Green at 3 and I think that GWS will not match it. Overall it will just be too costly for them. If we do not call Green then I would think that there might be a juicy agreement in place between GWS and MFC for the next trade period. If not green thaen I think it will be Young.

At 10 I think we will look at taking Kemp if he is still there.

28 is a lottery but it would not surprise if it was a left field special. Not left field but I would take Taylor if he is still there.

100% we will call Green's name at pick 3. Will then depend on GWS, but it's 50/50 as they are also keen on Jackson. You won't hear us calling out Young's name though, unless he slides as far as 28, but not likely.

I believe this may have been the case a week ago as Green was a chance but not anymore from what I’ve heard

I'm happy either way tbh. I was told the Dees rated Green as the best player in the draft, but could see the logic in going for something other than an inside mid.

3 - Jackson

10 - Pickett

28 - Flynn Perez

I think we add either a 4th pick, a rookie pick or another train on player. A pacy small or a key defender depending on how the draft goes. State leagues or even a Sam Murray. I just don't see the need to hold list spots for  both Bennell and Mitch Brown.

Sokol from WA would be handy forward to add to Jackson Kozzie and Bennell snd perhaps Brown.

Sokol more of an option if we trade our future 4th for a current 4th and grab him in the 60’s than with 28. 

We need a high quality kid with that earlier pick. Possibly a key defender but ideally a classy quick runner.

Jackson

Pickett (think it's too early but hard to ignore the smoke)

Sharp (I think he will go earlier but will fit our outside run well if still on the board)

 

My ideal scenario would be 

Green

Stephens

Rivers (or best available small forward)

Green Kemp  Garcia

After reading the article on AFL I would take Serong, Kemp, Dow. Maybe slot Green instead of Serong.

take him at 2 in the rookie draft like snoop doggy dog suggested in his phantom long beach draft forecast..

Yep that's another option, either way I significantly doubt he's a pick 28 chance.

Twomey has us down for Elijah Taylor, Trent Rivers or Thomson Dow as the chances, hopefully one of those guys slip

Do not care who we get and they do not necessarily have to be superstars, although it would be nice if they were. The only metric I am interested in is that each contributes to our next flag.

I just don't see us needing to keep 2 spots open given there's significant doubts over keeping both players and that unfortunately list spots often open up prior to March. There's no hurry to give Bennell a spot that's for sure and Brown should only get one if we really think he's best 22.

Pick 3 - Green

Pick swap with Geelong.

Pick 14 - Weightman

Pick 17 - Pickett

 

I think the Doggies might take Weightman the pick before that unfortunately. if they do i reckon we're a chance to get Kemp with that pick. 

otherwise i agree. 

would be rapt with Green. looks a ready made player and a star of the future.

Heard over the past how we don't leak, blah blah.

If Jackson and Pickett  are the first two chosen someone in the football department has leaked! 

My NTP criteria is recruit elite ball users that don't mind getting their hands dirty. Kind of points to Young, Ash or Stephens...

This is demonlands wines v Toumpas moment for prosperity.

i told you he was a spud

i always wanted him at 3

i can't believe we didn't draft x

In fairness dee-tox, it may be that other clubs have leaked following our open discussions. 

In saying that, I have no idea why we would bother telling other clubs that we're looking at Pickett at 10. 

Unless . . .  

MFC: 'Hey, Freo, we'll swap you  8 for 10 & 28 if you don't intend on taking Young.'

Freo: 'Sure. Robertson is our man. But what about Henry?'

MFC: 'We won't bid on Henry and Western can have Weightman. We like Pickett.' 

(People forget that Freo still have to pay for Henry. Massive points dif. between 8 and 16). 

Media (MFC trades for 10. Likes Pickett . . .): 'MFC likes Pickett for pick 10'

(I think I may be in denial about potentially missing out on Young after giving up 8).

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
