Gold Coast have Lombard as an Academy pick this year. Their 1st 3 picks are 6,12 and 20. He is expected to go in the Top 12 or so picks. We will know closer to the draft. They have plenty of picks from 20 on to match a bid. They likely plan to use pick 6 on Rioli. They plan to trade out players and bring Noble in, 

We may make a play for pick 12 or 20 using a future pick or combination of picks.

 

6 will go to the tigs for rioli

12 will go for noble and the filth's future 1st

20 will probably be swapped for a future 1st from someone else as well

    Lions have 18,56,69.  That’s 985,194,49.   1228 in total.   They will need a lot of points to get Ashcroft & Marshall.  Even with the discounting.  Surely clubs will put Ashcroft at 2 or 3 and Marshall at 12-15.   How can afford both without going into massive deficit as well as trading out future picks?

    Doesn't look like Jagga will get to us.

    Lalor.

    But between Smith and Lalor, I'm going the former.

    He’s the full package. Best player in the draft alongside Ashcroft.  Cannot believe he could be rated at 9.  Crows will grab him at pick “4”. (If the Eagles don’t jump at 3).  Pace. Skill. Smarts.  Runs and runs for second efforts.  Goalkicker.  Dees would ❤️💙him in red and blue.

    If Dees had to choose between Langford, Lalor or O’Sullivan.  That’s tough. Very tough.  Would have to be extra interviews and discussion.  Do they love footy.  How would they fit in.  What makes them tick.  Lots of the extra JT magic required.

    I assumed Draper would get taken pick 3 or 4 and not be available at our pick. If he makes it through to us and doesn't seem a homesick type, then we have to take him. His agility and speed out of contests is brilliant, and his foot skills are great too. He'll be an elite midfielder.

    We're in a great position where we could land one of Draper, Langford or Lalor to build our future midfield around.

    I’m hearing West Coast very keen on Bo Allan, that being the case I would anticipate a pick swap somewhere as Bo definitely isn’t pick 3

    Trading back in.

    Dees might just land up with Campbell & Parfitt as delisted free agents plus potentialDerksen with trade for pick 50ish. If ANB trade gets us “25”, then we’d have 5,25,37, 45 & 61.  Useful for pick swaps and allowing JT to weave his magic to try to add 3-4 quality youngsters.

    How is Ashcroft not 1?

    I believe there's a monetary prize attached to Pick 1. Whoever holds #1 when the draft comes around would want their own first choice to take advantage of the kudos that comes with first pick and the cash.

    Therefore, in my hypothetical, I expect that say Jagga Smith goes at 1 to Richmond and North nominates Levi Ashcroft at 2 forcing Brisbane to claim him at that pick. Then it's North picking their first choice at 3.

    I wonder if St Kilda would give up their two top 10 picks for pick 3? If they did they'd be stupid...

    There's a few people I know that watch a lot of WAFL and local games that believe Bo will be the next Fyfe. I disagree but he is looking like a likely draft bolter with his late-season form and decent performances for Peel in their WAFL finals/premiership.

    If West Coast can't get some swaps done I can see them crumbling and picking up at 3 in desperation of not wanting Freo to grab him with either of their first two picks where he'll most likely land.

    I don’t see a Fyfe in Allan, Davis’s end of season form was better in the seniors. If they don’t think Allan is worth 3 they won’t take him, just like they didn’t take Curtin early last season despite wanting him

    Will he last to 13? 

    They might try and use future picks for Baker instead of the Barrass pick.

    I think he might, I’d have money on them taking Draper at 3

    That’s about his range, which probably explains why WC are one of the clubs going after GC’s pick 12. Probably crazy enough to give up their future 1st to land p12, which could blow other bidders out of the water.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
