I know the TV coverage starts at 7pm, but what time is the actual first pick made?  Is it 7.30?

(No desire to sit through all the waffle before the interesting stuff happens.)

It's going to be like watching the Brownlow isn't it?

Apparently we are not interested in Curtin if available at pick 6.

We won't trade out of the top 10, so I don't think we're a factor. 

[FTB 176]

We're apparently keen on acquiring GWS' pick 7 so must be keen on a player who will be gone by our pick 11.

Windsor at pick 6 very likely unless Watson is still available. Watson a chance of getting through if North select Curtin instead of Duursma.

Doggies apparently are set on drafting Sanders even if Watson is still on the board.

Hmm, Leake, Caddy or O'Sullian

I think our ideal situation outside of pick 1 (Reid) is landing GWS' pick 7 and selecting both Watson and Windsor if available with picks 6 and 7 likely to be picks 8 and 9 after academy bids. Something like the below.

1. Reid

2. Walter

3. McKercher

4. Curtin

5. Duursma

6. Sanders

7. Read

8. Watson

9. Windsor

I hope they do the deal and we take Curtin at 6

Is our 11 + F1 > Adelaide's 10 + 14/20?

We'll take WC's and Adelaide's 2024 first rounders off Adelaide's hands for Harry Petty then ...

Our pick 42 gone apparently. To stk for a future 3rd

[4_Kent_Watts 868]

Remember the Old Days when this was Our favourite part of the year. Normally started by Round 4 because the season was done. Being a Finals worthy Club with TWO fairly high picks I've got my eyes closed, fingers crossed for a Key Position Type and a young bloke who hurts you with his foot skills forward of Centre. Think there's plenty of options and may the Recruiting lads continue their success.

Crows eying off WC future 1st with Sid Draper in mind:

That'd be an enjoyable death ride knowing who you're likely to get

I can’t believe we are not entertaining a future pick swap with WC. Best case scenario pick 1, in an absolute disaster we break even.

They get Scott Welch’s boy via FS next season. Looks fairly handy so wonder will they look at packaging some first rounders next year for a top pick before Welsh gets nominated or to target a ready made player like Petty

[DubDee 25,447]

we’ll do a pick swap

we’ll draft a kid from WA as per our MO

people will be surprised by one of the picks

They wouldn’t do the deal until after our pick.
