Hard to put a value on him....Was Best and Fairest 2020, missed 2021....You would really want to know that he is on top of his back issues and would be able to play to a high level still.  Have a feeling Hawthorn would want a 1st rounder for him on past deeds.

A first rounder for a 30-year old mid-sized forward...do they drug test the recruitment teams?

So we get to draft night, and pick 19 is called.  With the 2 f/S choices, it’s now our turn.  Do we

see who wants it to move way up next year (swap it for a future first from a team looking to stack this year?)  maybe include rolling back into 2nd round this year?

take the best available?

if MA is still there, do we bypass him knowing only one more pick has to roll through before we nga him?

our first choice has many options this year.  Last year we went after football users with class (Bowery, Laurie), I wonder what our board looks like this year, with so little exposed form?

On a slow news day, the Sunday Herald Sun has a story today on pages 82 & 83 (sorry firewall and can’t do the link anyway) entitled, “CLOCK IS TICKING” in which Marc McGowan and Matt Turner “run the rule over trade deals that are still cooking.”

It’s refreshing to see that the reigning premiers have pretty much locked in their playing list and barely feature in the article but here’s a summary of who else, on top of the 13 players who changed clubs last week via trade or free agency, could have a fresh start in 2022.

• JARROD BRANDER (WCE) told by the Eagles to explore his options. Met Carlton but the Blues aren’t interested. Category: Up for grabs.

• LEVI CASBOULT (Carl) linked to Brisbane but the Lions are pursuing Darcy Fort. Category: Up for grabs. 

• JON CEGLAR (Haw) Hawks have encouraged him to explore his options. Geelong and Western Bulldogs appear the likely destinations if he leaves. Category: Up for grabs.

• JORDAN CLARK (Geel) Wants to go to Fremantle but the Cats want an early draft selection. Category: Bit to play out.

• TOM CLUREY (Port Adel) North Melbourne, Carlton and St Kilda inquired. Category: Staying put.

• CHARLIE CONSTABLE (Geel) Screaming for opportunity. Category: Up for grabs.

• MASON COX (Coll) The American forward is in limbo. Category: Up for grabs.

• JORDAN DAWSON (Syd) Wants out to Adelaide but the clubs have not been able to agree on the picks. Category: Lock it in.

• TRENT DUMONT (North Melb) His only exit route now is via a trade or as a delisted free agent. Category: Up for grabs.

• DARCY FORT (Geel) Brisbane’s trade priority. Category: Bit to play out.

• JACK GUNSTON (Haw) Melbourne were interested, also linked with Brisbane. Category: Bit to play out.

• OLLIE HANRAHAN (Haw) Carlton, Gold Coast and Geelong are monitoring him. Category: Up for grabs.

• BOBBY HILL (GWS) Wants to be traded to a Victorian club. Category: Bit to play out.

• BEN KING (GC) Victorian clubs circling. Category: Back off.

• PETER LADHAMS (Port Adel) Had a medical with the Swans. Category: Bit to play out.

• PATRICK LIPINSKI (WB) Bulldogs and Magpies haggling.  Category: Lock it in.

• RORY LOBB (Frem) Lobb wants to be a Giant again. Category: Bit to play out.

• BEN LONG (St K) Saints are willing to trade. Category: Up for grabs.

• MAX LYNCH (Coll) Hawks loom as his landing spot. Category: Up for grabs.

• DARCY MACPHERSON (GC) Once appeared to be headed to North Melbourne. Category: Don’t count on it.

• TOM MITCHELL (Haw) Would be the biggest name to move clubs. Category: Don’t count on it.

LACHIE NEALE (Brisbane Lions) Wanted out. Back in. Category: Staying Put

• JAEGER O’MEARA (Haw) Port Adelaide considering. Category: Don’t count on it.

• SAM POWELL-PEPPER (Port Adel) Was going west but looking too hard. Category: Don’t count on it.

• SAM TAYLOR (GWS) Dockers interested in trade for Rory Lobb. Category: No chance.

• JOSH THOMAS (Coll) Still without a contract. Category: Up for grabs.

• MITCH WALLIS (WB) Not much interest and likely to re-sign. Category: Up for grabs.

• JAKE WATERMAN (WCE) Rival clubs said to be interested. Category: Staying Put

• CHAD WINGARD (Haw) Regularly raised in trade dispatches but he’s made it clear that he’s not leaving. Category: No chance.

• TRISTAN XERRI (North Melb) Requested a trade to St Kilda midweek. Category: Bit to play out.

nick austin seemed pretty confident when he said they were not going to be picking any higher than they currently are and that their future 1&2 r off the market, plus they don't have SOS playing as many draft games as we're used to

Watching all these clubs with problems with players wanting to leave and others being shown the door when they probably want to stay is almost as good as winning the Premiership. Well it is fun anyway. Where is the “Family “ part of the family club now?  All of a sudden we have great culture and they have a poor one. Funny what winning does.

Whatever happened to that Bulldog Gawn wannabe who was supposed to be interested in going back to WA? Is he staying at the kennel?

Signed a new multi year deal wth the Dogs, i think they were pretty keen on Cegler who now looks like going to the Cats.

Did you change your mind Mr. Leg? 

Yes.

Given the crap I copped in the 2nd final in 18 from Hawks supporters, I am happy to see them destabilize.

You are not alone. What they need is a good culture!

I don't like to sledge a perennial cellar dweller like the Hawks, particularly when they've just sacked their most successful coach of 21st century and their incoming coach has looked at his ageing midfield and started throwing darts at portrait of that former coach.

Perish the thought.

I’m still thinking we trade out the pick 49 to either Hawks or Eagles.  The Hawks want to add a lot of youth this year and the Eagles have plenty of WA Kids in their sights from this 2021 batch. 
Suggestion. Dees trade out current 2021 pick 49 for a future 2022 third round from Hawks or Eagles.  
 

We can then use draft pick in the early 60s (currently 57)  for Taj Woewodin as father son under a “free spin” thought process.

Really shocked by what's going on at Hawthorn, this sort of stuff is a culture killer, my impression is it's Mitchell trying to make his mark/get rid of a few Clarkson loyalists, while speeding along the re-build, but it screams to me of Dean Bailey moving on too many experienced heads too quickly. 

Gut feel is at the end of the day they won't trade these guys, but being offered up like this may well do the damage.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
