Is the West Coast - Melbourne trade a rumour that's out there? Apparently Saints are open to trading 7 or 8.

My mate Rick is an eagles fanatic and says they will want Bo Allan (they’ll be embarrassed if they miss out on him). Says potential strong mid combo of Reid and Allan will destroy other midfielders like Clarry & Trac combo.  Saints might offer pick 8 for Eagles 12 & 26  ! Though Saints likely to offer 8 to Tigers for say 11 & 23. It’s going to be a very advanced sudoku puzzle on the night !!!!!

WCE can offer a fab package for Saints ND8. 

In 2025 they have their own 1st, 2nd, 3rd round picks as well as Hawks 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  WCE can trade 2025 picks back into 2024 to satisfy Saints if that is what they want.

What a 'death ride' the Hawks will be for WCE fans!!

DD36.  I’m happy if that’s the case.  I’d like to keep 5 &9, to use on 2 elite midfielders.
 

Question is if the Eagles come with 12 & 26 on offer, would we take it … if we thought we were wanting to pick say for example Hynes at 9, would we just trade down and still be able to get him at 12 with the bonus of getting pick 26. Just a thought.

If we get to 9, and there's 4 blokes on the board we'd be happy with, then yeah we get 26 for free. If not, we just use 9. That's the logical play at least..

I’d love for us to get Smith at 5, but if not available, and Tauru is, I’d be happy for us to take a gamble on him and then with pick 9, take the best available mid.

Agree… 6 and 11 is an already a huge hand in this year’s draft. We picked well last year a landed quality. Windsor and kolt are 150+ gamers. Pick well this year and you can sure up the list.

Many here seem to think Kolt was a huge tick last year… he’s still a wait and see for me.  Windsor ENORMOUS tick, yes, but I didn’t see anything from Kolt which suggested he’s a guaranteed star.

Can’t see this happening unless the Eagles get something else from somewhere. Otherwise they might get Bo Allen but after that nothing until pick 73 - a recipe for disaster if you’re a bottom side.

He'll make it.

I agree tho, the ceiling very much up for debate

I see Kolt a the apprentice to Jack Viney, tough contested relentless… a role that’s challenging until you’ve a couple of pre-seasons under your belt. Kolt loves contest, and has a strut that means he’ll be a team lifter and drawn to nailing his moments. 
lots to like about him.

Kolt is an intriguing one to me also and probably one I'm following a lot more closely than any other recent draftee, I think because we gave up a bit to trade up and nothing about his skill set screams out to me. 

But I can see something. There's a doggedness about him that's just waiting for his body to catch up. It won't be through lack of trying or passion that he doesn't cement a spot in the 22

We need him to play some midfield mins and get decent disposal numbers to get full value out of him, rather than be strictly a medium sized fwd

Yep, not saying I don’t like him. Just feel like his first year was overrated by many on here.

To be fair to Kolt he probably should have spent most of his year at Casey, but our raft of injuries bought him in earlier than expected 

I think his fundamentals - getting to contests, applying pressure, staying involved in the play - are all really strong

His disposal and decision making left a bit to be desired at times, but I think a lot of that can be put down to a) being a first year player and b) still needing to build up his tank (as he would often start really strongly in games before fading)

Once he settles in and has a few more preseasons I think we’ll see some more of the X factor that he showed at his junior levels, and on a few occasions this year (his WC and GC games were really strong)

Guaranteed star is a very high bar, but I saw plenty to suggest that if he puts the work in the kolt will become an A grader, a star.

Smart, good user, good footy iq, good hands - and has the key thing all stars have: x factor.

I tgink it  easy to be seduced by how quickly players like daicos and Windsor impact at AFL level.

But at the end of the day, kolt was in his first season of AFL football. With another preseason under his belt he will go up another level and a 60% damaging small forward, 40% inside mid.

Future looks very bright for the kolt IMV.

I agree, i saw enough to think Kolt has the makings of being a 200 game AFL player and a regular part of our best 22 for a long time.

Kolt is just a young man, only 19.  He has the inner competitive edge that JT often looks for.  His energy and strength will be as asset.  I see him as a Cam Rayner type, with his start being half forward and then rotation through the midfield as required.

You do realise the kid played most of his matches whilst still 18? 
 

He averaged 12 possession and almost a goal a game. Your expectations are delusional

Damn. I want North to stay at 2, and take The Viking. By the same token I wouldn't be that surprised if we took The Viking at 5, and it would be funny to mess up North's plans.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
