Man that was a hard watch! 

Good luck Gus! 

So sad 

I believe he was very highly rated last year but did drop away this year.

Any idea who we might take instead?

Not that I’ve heard.

God your a sensitive individual.

I actually wasn't bringing you down. You've made a big statement stating that we've gone cold on Tholstrup. So what's that based on what exactly? Some have asked the reasoning why and you haven't to responded to those enquiring? Considering Taylor made such a huge effort to go and meet the family personally I am even more intrigued why we have gone cold all of a sudden?

All the mock drafts in the past 24 hours seems to still point to the Dees as being a strong consideration for Tholstrup. 

I brought up the Caddy comment because you confidently stated that If we still hold on to pick 6 we will select Caddy... which seems like it won't be the case as Windsor looks to be our main preferred option.

This is why I'm half struggling to believe we've immediately gone cold on Tholstrup consideration what you confidently said about Caddy.

Whatever champ.

Clubs don't lock in players weeks out before the draft....

As Jason Taylor stated today, there has been about 15 players that they have interviewed for that pick 11 range and are continuing to assess how the top order falls.

Exactly!  I am just passing on what I am hearing as I know others are like minded and interested in what’s happening in the background.

Why don’t you just keep your comments to yourself, does it make you feel like a bigger man to bring others down or to potentially throw things back in the face if they get something wrong?

Weren't you saying only a few days ago that if we keep pick 6 we'll be taking Caddy..

Same time that that it was only reported yesterday by Jay Clark that the Dees will NOT be trading a future first to WC?

[censored]!.  

I’m hearing we have gone cold on him.

I may be in the minority, but I don’t think he will improve our list

Not everyone on your list improves it but you need coverage

Are you saying we would pick Caddy over Curtin? Cal had us taking Curtin if he's still available at pick 6. I doubt Caddy would have been taken before pick 6, although Cal did later link Caddy to the Dees.

That’s what I’ve heard.  I reckon I might have the top 10 by the weekend

Just listened to Gettable , Cal doesn’t seem to think North will pick Curtin at 2 or 3. Hawks are the biggest chance to take him before our pick. They are deciding between him and Watson 

I think the Hawks will take Watson.  I reckon if WC don’t trade with us then Curtin will slide past us

Jeez I hope not - no disrespect to Caddy but I really don’t think we need to draft a forward with our first pick three years in a row, especially if Sanders, Curtin or even Leake is available (which at least one will be)

Caddy is in the same mould as Charlie Curnow

I have heard if we keep 6, we’ll take Caddy.  In saying that we are definitely open to trading it to WC for their future 1st.

We had our chance many years ago, and turned it down. 
the contribution of Diamond Joe….

That’s good business if you ask me.

This is what a clunky, injured, top heavy mess looks like. Having Brown on the list next year is a huge liability.

Will always respect and love the guy for 21 but reality is he is the most overcooked player I can remember ever going into an AFL season for any club.

And it absolutely denies an 18 y.o an opportunity. Maybe not Kynan Brown but definitely some 18 year old. 

What a crock! Do you actually have any idea how he is travelling? Do you see the time he puts into the girls program?  How much work does he puts into developing our young key forwards during the season?

 If he was completely cooked and had no chance of getting through a season, do you really think he would be continuing?

Very good source told me WC are trying to turn pick 1 into 3 top 10 picks. Also told me that the stories about WC are wanting the WA tall are a tad embellished.

The stumbling block is North Melbourne. they want Pick 1 and to keep 2 or 3 so they get either the better Tassie mid or Duursma. 

My guess is that it could look something like below…. Which is 3 inside top 11. There would be some additional bits and pieces thrown in to balance it out.

WC 3, 8 + 11

North 1 

MFC 2

Geelong 6

Personally if that were to eventuate or something similar I would be ok with it.

Nth aren’t giving up 2 and 3 for 1

Interview in The Age today identifies North, Hawks, GWS and Gold Coast as the clubs that have interviewed him. Interesting that we apparently have not shown interest, at least so far. 

Every single club would have interviewed him at the combine

I think we've been saving 42 for K.Brown.

Has he nominated us yet?

Really? Damn did he go downhill or something? I remember him having a decent patch.

He has never really done anything.  He reminds me of Weed.  Looks like a footballer but doesn’t play like one 

Hopefully he can stay healthy

Koschitzke just went to the tigers for 49. 

Did we show any interest in him? That’s so cheap for someone like that, which might have been useful. 

He is useless
