Yes @Lord Travis  I agree Kaleb Smith would have to been a name in our list.  I prefer a few others but at pick “37” he’d represent a solid choice.  Good pace. Good skill.

I wonder how Phillipou felt sliding to the Saints.  He was reported as saying he 'was made for playing in Melbourne' and wanted to play in front of big crowds...

well i was a tad disappointed with our seleciton and may have been heard to let out a slight "nooo" upon hearing our pick given ed allans size and upside and was equally as disappointed when we didnt trade into sydneys pick to nab him, nonetheless KPF was a need and jefferson once he's hit the gym does have potential theres no doubt, so best of luck to him and lets hope we don't need to worry about a key forward for the next decade ay

Any chance Kaleb Smith will be available at 37? Lightning quick small defender who loves to break lines on rebound. We need more small defenders with Jetta gone and Hibberd heading into his final season.

He will be but I wouldn’t be taking him with that pick

I don’t think much of Smithy skill wise, pace and athleticism are his strengths

I'm quite looking forward to Allen requesting a trade back to WA in 2 years, now that he's at the pies.

We'll find out soon but I don't see the Bulldogs future firsts being any better than Melbourne's. Will Brisbane & Western Bulldogs finish lower than Melbourne & Fremantle in 2023?

Wasn't about the future firsts as you rightly asserted. Given the uncertainty of where the future firsts will end up with all clubs vying for finals, you'd take the deal that offer this years pick 11 over pick 13 would you not?

The fact that we have 2 first next year one is dependant on our position whilst the other is dependant of Fremantle's position at the end of 2023.

The competition for spots in the 8 will heat up this year with Port, Saints, Carlton, Essendon, and the Suns pushing to improve whilst the others will be competitive.

Injuries to major players in most sides in 2023 will play a bigger part in the makeup of the final 8 than previous years.
