Couldn’t go as I’m currently in regional WA but watched it on the AFL app, reckon Curtin’s performance gives West Coast further food for thought. Reid was super clean and showed how good he is but trading for 2 first rounders if they can guarantee getting Curtin is tempting.

For those who watched it, a late call up under ager who only showed a few snippets is Austin Van Der Struyf, he is one to watch for next year. Smooth mover off half back/wing with elite foot skills and fantastic vision. Captain of Christchurch First XVIII, where he plays as an inside midfielder 

How did SVR go Pennant St Dee?

Just okay, kicked 1 and presented well but runs under the ball a little. He’s one of those players who is so close to just grabbing a game by the scruff of the neck, but it’s just not clicking for him

We should pick him, he’s going to be a superstar

Thoughts on Collard @Pennant St Dee? Thought he and Clay Hall were standouts for WA (apart from Curtin of course, who put together a third high quality outing for WA).

Agree. He might be a rookie chance and develop in partnership with his brother.  Just looked like he needed some marking guidance.

Collard doesn’t handle close attention well, which I think may effect him at AFL level, but he has superb skills, lateral movement and is very quick

can't remember if i saw it on here or twitter but someone said something about WCE offering up next years future 1st for a top 5 pick this year, it'll still be pick one but will help them get reid and curtin. Next year will have will ashcroft -tied, tyler welsh -tied and the other two young metro mids who are currently starring you'd imagine will go highly compared to teh country/WA combo they could be looking at this year, in terms of long term retention it could be the smarter business play to take the risk. 

The Allies beat Vic Metro and look the goods to take off the championship for the first time. The AFL must be chuffed at the number of promising prospects coming from the northern states and Tassie at the moment.

Ryley Sanders has rocketed up to my number 1 target. He was BOG yesterday imv.  His pace. His class. His balance. Excellent young mid. Only issue is he’s a Tassie boy.  We’d have to back ourselves to keep him when Tassie team comes in.

that's IF there's a tassie team

back us in to keep him if he's the one

sounds like a nice mix of inside-outside and natural ballwinner

and 2028 is a long way off

If a Tassie born player decides he want to play for Tasmania then I would think that a club would be very well compensated for losing the player. Tassie team will have a massive bounty of picks and future picks and Tassie players will be worth more to them than drat picks as there would be no go home factor for them to worry about. 
If we get 5 years out of a player and then get some very good draft picks in a compromised draft we may end up coming out well in front. 
 

So if we look at the current ladder positions we have picks 8, 15, 26 & 33 as our top 4 picks.

Gold Coast currently have pick 7 and need points, points and more points.

Picks 15 & 26 are worth 1841 points and pick 7 is worth 1644.

Without a doubt we know this and it is highly likely we will have 2 top 10 picks in this draft, assuming Freo and GC both miss the 8.

So then the question is who would we likely take at picks 7 and 8.... which will be pushed out by the GC academy guys.

What about if the suns have pick 4 or 5? What do the points need to be then?

If they have pick 4 or 5 it would be getting tight as to whether they trade it as the bids may come after this pick, but I would say we would have to include pick 33 as well.

Pick 4 is worth 2034 points and 15, 26 & 33 are worth 2404 points.

Have next years first rd pick for trade talks as well.

I reckon Walter will be called out top 3.

Very true. I think in an ideal world GC have pick 5 or 6 and know they have to trade it for extra points.

We will absolutely get involved in this.

Pity about Jake Rogers. Looks like he'd suit our mids beautifully.

Can't access the article but presume there's a bit on either Kynan or Kalani in it.

Edit: or perhaps even woey in the vfl?

Just saying what was in another thread about Kalani white attracting attention.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
