We need to replace May, Judd, Trac, Oliver for one. Kozzy is still a fed more than mid. Also need to add a bunch of good kickers to get the ball into the forward line. So there are higher priorities.

The club seems keen to give Adams a crack at replacing May. X Taylor hopefully replaces and improves upon Judd. Latrelle replaces Spargo and hopefully lets Kozzie play half forward not just deep forward when he's in the forward line.

We were very unlikely to replace Oliver where our picks fell. We were never going to replace Tracc.

It's probably going to take top 5 picks in strong drafts to replace those guys. Or if we're lucky a Humphrey trade.

Any chance Jack Ison slips through to our next pick?

Byrne and Ainsworth the 2 Twomey linked us with. Tai Hayes the obscure VFL player he linked us to.

Not sure this is the spot to go for needs too much but a mid who can play forward early on would be very handy. Phillipou, Allen fit the bill

Won't be Byrne given the Pickett selection

RookieMe linked us to Brodie Atkins, similar mould to Allen and Rory Wright

Definitely put the Ison bid on, then Allen, NHH, Swadling, Wright for mine, depth through the guts but also with scope to play across HF/HB

Sharkie, Bridge, Jackson Voss, Fergus McFadyen I still like for rookie picks, Flynn Riley too the Blues VFL ruckman 206cm

Thredgold you might snap up if available too given May, McDonald in final months even with the Petty move back

Max Holmes' brother is still there, along with Kickett, Rodriguez and Swadling.

Swadling looks like a real player! I noticed he was in almost every passage of okay from Farrow's highlights. All the videos watched to finally accept him and now he is going to the dons.

Swadling seems a great ball user of both feet too.

Silly question - why did it become pick 30?

Other picks before were used by clubs matching academy/fs bids. Largely GCS picks

Also good to confirm that we didn’t have a top ten pick after all.

Just want that stipulated for the record.

11 and 12.

Yeah, I’m particular and stubborn.

Have we met?

Coz you can’t say Lana backwards

I missed it all driving. I thought clubs were only allowed to match 2 academy bids? Did they match 4?

From here, Riley Onley please.

First time in many years that our early picks weren’t foreshadowed in the media so this was a pleasant surprise! Really happy with Taylor sliding in particular and then the bolter in Pickett.

As mentioned, normally it’s Cal Twomey who knows exactly what we are doing in advance so I was looking through some highlights vids of Farrow and Nairn in recent days. I know it’s easy to say now, but I just couldn’t get excited about either of them. Farrow looked really good but I’m sick and tired us investing in these Perth kids, and Nairn’s kicking action and overall highlights were just… meh. Glad we ended up with our two. Glad we didn’t dangle our F1s to grab Nairn too. Nice work JT and Timmy!
