Pick 11, I believe, becomes pick 16, if you factor in F/S and academy picks, using Cal Twomey's September rankings players may not fall in this order, but you can see how compromised this draft is. Our pick 6 (8) may net us one of Curtin, Sanders or Caddy, with pick 16 a toss up between Murphy, Windsor and Wilson, along with Young Doggie Brown, job done for today. Hard to turn 8 and 16 plus a FF1 into #1.

We just have to understand that we are only ever going to be interested in drafting 2 players and young brown, with the upgrade of Turner, then we are only interested in 1 player in the draft unless the FD move Melksham to the rookie list, creating a second opening on our list. Reid, Brown, Turner fills our quota at the moment. Goody has just said that Petty ain't going anywhere. Might clear an extra spot if Spargo gets told he will probably only play 2's from now on. Lots to play out, Lamby will get it done.

Not sure Croft has nominated the Dogs, weighing up whether they have too many tall forwards, could be wrong but ! Western Bulldogs father-son prospect Jordan Croft yet to make call on future, 'open to other clubs' (afl.com.au)

Curtin ???

Do we now have pick 14, as we have dropped below carlton on the final ladder ? Also pick 11 from Sydney for Grundy and picks 24 and 34

Not sure Croft has committed to the dogs, they have too many tall forwards at the moment. Lobb, Naughton, JUH and the old ruckman's father son. As already mentioned above.

Papley, 177cm. Watson 170cm, fair difference in height, but the kid has good reports. Hope he hasn't reached his ceiling.

I agree, Zero Hanger update the draft ladder after every match. AFL Draft Order 2023 - Zero Hanger

Your thoughts on Tom Fullerton from Brisbane ?

From Zero Hangar

GC already have enough points to cover their Academy kids, they have 4 of them not just the 3 we've read about. It would look like they will trade pick 4 for future firsts. They may only need around 4200 points depending on where their bids fall, and they will get some currency from any players they trade out. Maybe our FF1 plus ports FF2 for grundy plus #15

Yes GC do have pick 4, but will be gobbled up with their first academy member at pick 2, so they will trade it out for currency (our proposal will be 15, 24, 34 and our FF1, possibly then offer 4 and 5 to WC for 1), we may be the club who bid and get their pick 4, but who knows, I'll still take any 2 of Watson, Duursma, Caddy or O'Sullivan. Will be interesting off season. Its all navel gazing at the moment, Cheers

My opinion is, that if you want pick 4 from GC, then you will need to throw in pick 15, 24 and 34 plus our FF1, GC will only deal if its a big advantage to them. We get 2 top 5 picks, plus Young Brown and upgrade Turner. You have to give to get.

I agree, my mock draft as is Possibly swap McKercher with O'Sullivan based on need, which pushes all draftees down 1 position.

FWIW, I've tried to look at the upcoming draft and noted that once all the F/S and academy picks and possible high compensation for B. McKay our picks will look like this, not necessarily who we pick but our second pick notionally 15 will actually blow out to 21, so pushing for H. Reid should be a priority. Not saying my draft is perfect but wanted to see where our pick 15 falls. The numbers in front of each person's name is from another person's draft as I was too lazy to rewrite all the names. 1 WCE 1 Harley Reid 2 GC 2 Jed Walter GC academy 3 NMFC 6 Dan Curtin 4 NMFC 7 Colby McKercher B. Mckay Compensation 5 HAW 4 Nick Watson 6 GC 9 Ethan Read* GC academy 7 MELB 5 Zane Duursma 8 ADEL 3 Nate Caddy 9 NMFC 8 Ryley Sanders NGA 10 GC 15 Jake Rogers GC academy 11 SYD 12 Connor O'Sullivan 12 WB 11 Jordan Croft WB F/S 13 ADEL 14 Darcy Wilson 14 HAW 16 Will McCabe HFC F/S 15 ESS 10 Mitch Edwards* 16 GWS 18 Ollie Murphy 17 CARL 35 Archie Roberts 18 GEEL 31 Riley Hardeman 19 GWS 24 Harry Demattia 20 STK 43 Will Green* 21 MELB 13 Koltyn Tholstrup 22 NMFC 17 Archer Reid 23 COLL 19 Jack Delean 24 WCE 20 Logan Evans 25 ADEL 21 George Stevens 26 FREO 22 Joel Freijah 27 SYD 23 Will Lorenz 28 MELB 25 Luamon Lual

I would think that maybe there will be some points coming back through late round draft picks/ compensation for Jordan, Tomlinson, Harmes trades or others we don't know about yet, anyone of those will give us points for a young Doggy Brown. I know Jordan is a UFA, but three clubs are pursuing him and will want to trade prior to the draft/pre season draft etc.

Free Agency - AFL.com.au

Only 3 picks in the top 40, Disco to be elevated at the end of season. We will only have 3 spots total at end of year by my reckoning with one to go on young Brown. Only way we can get more places on the list is if Harmes or McDonald decide to go elsewhere. Dunstan, Hibbert and Melksham not re-signed, JJ to go elsewhere for game time.

Totally agree, Carlton's pick 4 would also be a consideration with something back, we should get some compensation from JJ's free agency to allow enough points to pick up young Brown, either way, Watson, Caddy or Duursma would be around that mark. AFL Draft Order 2023 - Zero Hanger

Can you include Kye Turner please ?

Interesting to note when talking about Kossie's position, that Richo mentioned Jason Cripps the PA list manager and not any other of the WA clubs or Crows. Not sure PA have any currency to bring Kossie in, will take at least 2 first round picks and something else. Thoughts ?

I'm trying to find out if the F2 from Freo is the original North F2 at around pick 19, 20 ? any idea

Anyone know where an updated list for the future picks for the 2023 draft is located ?
