In nearly every draft I read, Sanders has slipped to our pick. Surely we take him if available, he couldn’t have done much more this year. That is assuming all of the other players in that top “tier” have already been picked.

Easily gone if Hawks pick Watson over Curtin, Dogs will swoop

Leaving us with Curtin, out of that top "tier"?

We do have interest in Curtin (and the Dogs don't), at pick 6, according to Cal T.

Dogs have a lot of young talls already, and Croft in this draft

True, that’s why they won’t draft Curtin

Agree. Thats a Xmas gift for us if Sanders is available at “6”. He’s a high quality skilled midfielder.

I'd love to see Sanders on our list, even if there's every chance he'll be gifted to Tasmania in a few  years.  He's absolute quality and makes the players around him look better.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there are quite a few highly rated Tasmanians this year?

Previous years I can’t recall much talk of talent from the apple isle.

Good signs for the state anyway.

Interesting that Twomey doesn't mention us re team thats are into Leake

Maybe our links to him have been exaggerated? Interesting to see us linked to Tholstrup in this form guide, maybe he is an option at pick 11 if Windsor is gone

This list is the best guest of where they think recruits will go including bids made on players IMO. That would equate to our pick 6 & 11 becoming 7 and 15 which equates to Saunders & Wilson which I don't think is a bad outcome. The only spanner in the works is if Curtin goes at 1 or GCS doesn't match a bid on some of their academy players.

Based on Cal’s rankings, Curtin or Sanders sounds feasible with our first pick.

And Watson

I think there's no chance either of these things happen.

No link with Wilson or O'Sullivan either. Not sure I fully believe it.

Beyond the usual names for our first pick he has us as showing interest in Windsor, Tholstrup and Charlie Edwards.

@Nascent thanks for the the Fox sports rankings read. As per my phantom, there’s still likely some players who might drop here and be available at the 40ish range.

Taylor Goad. Clay Hall. Joel Freijah.   All are very impressive youngsters in this years crop. Ashton Moir could be the biggest wildcard in this years pool. 

However we will likely pass on the late 2nd round pick 42 (would prefer us to trade it into a 2024 2nd round pick - possibly with the Power).  

Posted

I’d be happy if that Shaun Mannagh made it to 42.

He’s mature age, but would be well suited to us as a speedy high half forward or small forward.

Fast, gets possessions and is a nice kick and be hits the scoreboard too.

Hasn’t picked the young doggy in the first 50. Might that mean a gentleman’s agreement to let him go through to the rookie list.

My gut feels we will look to add someone who can have immediate impact.
We are in the flag window and going full tilt at immediate improvement. 
Pick 6, praying for Watson (apart from a Reid trade) feels like the best choice to help our struggles forward. Pick 11, best available with a bias towards a quality tall def/frwd which will be desperately needed in 2-3 years. If not a ready made mid pick 11.

    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
