gotta be best available at 13 and speculate on a roughie at 37 with a different type then

Smith has worn 44 for 7 years can't see him changing now really, or the chin moving out of 37 for the same reason, particularly while gawny is his player sponsor ;) Ahh well in that case maybe he does consider it, hunt did have it for his entire career at mfc to date so u might be onto something it was available when we drafted him as howes has it, think it was just one of those things, higher draft picks get first choice or he didnt want to live in dads shadow and instead make his own name for himself

i'd imagine we made Hunters existing 2 years a 3year deal and schache got 2, but thats pure speculation, hunter could also be 4yrs taking him to 31yo early look at next year puts Hibbo and Melky probably low on priorities, Jordon could be the one who looks elsewhere for opportunities, WCE could target rivers for the hurn position however i think he will stay and dunstan and chandler will be the last to get signed up. McVee and DeakSmith need to show something more deak will be at the end of his 3yr maximum rookie stay as well

after the top 10 the FS and NGA bids tend to slide a bit further out than they are reported to be rated, due to club draft boards differing and clubs wearing of making a club pay rate vs actually being comfortable getting that player should they not match for these reasons i see the Fletcher bid AND the Alwyn Jnr bid come after the first round in the low 20s remember also the draft is over two nights so that first pick of the second night (currently 19) will likely to heavily targetted by clubs trying to get THE ONE who slipped out of the first round

i watched one of youngs games that year and it was enough for me to deeply desire recruiting him, think itll be a hard sell to move him out of freo now + we recruited rivers who was a similar player later in the draft anyway. but i agree managers certainly have changed the advice they give their potential draftees, it probably used to be sweet talk them, tell them what they want to hear and get drafted we can sort the rest out down the track to nowadays tell them your staying in ur state and you will ur good enough at the top end u wont go un-drafted but at least now you have a better chance of staying home

correct but theres rules with nominations like that, or at least there are for F/S as we saw last year with woey where if you nominate them in the national draft you have to take them, not sure how this applies with NGA, i think as FS cant go cat b but NGA can it may be different but we saw with adelaide a couple years back they nominated luke edwards son of tyson as a rookie FS only so WCE were able to nab him in the ND. i believe NGA is different were if he goes unnominated through the ND, he essentially skips the rookieA draft and gets immediately listed as cat b should we choose -which i believe we will at least for 12 months until we see how raik andrew is progressing

it's mandated that a club use 3 selections every draft. we've managed to position our two live selections as well as we probably could for the time being, so it's likely we use both picks and then chandler upgrade is our last selection

So noticed this pick didnt have a thread yet so here it is. and for free you also get a collection of players i hope we are looking at in that range. i'm of the belief we will go midfielder as best available at 13 (i want hollands, and ill take his homesick brother in 2 years time too thanks) so these are the guys i'd be talking to, i dont think we will take two generic shape/sized mid types as we've recruited plenty of those recently however we have tended to target talls/smalls either through unnatural pathways (SPP/MSD) or from other clubs unless they've been high end top prospects recently so its hard to tell the clubs thoughts but heres some names anyway Isaac Keeler H: 198cm W: 88kg -- tall athletic KPF with NGA links to the crows. for me, so much more upside than say Cadman, why you ask because cadman is the biggest body playing against 18yo's only, keeler has shown flashes but has heaps of development, growth and muscle to come. they use the term x-factor when discussing him James Van Es H: 197cm W: 99kg --tall defender, strong overhead, confident to mark the footy, will be ready in 3-4 years time to take over from may and be really aggressive in the air. Lewis Hayes H: 197cm W: 81kg --tall defender, infamous for collapsing on the finish line of the 2ker at the combine but has upside and potential, could be a little passion project for the dev coaches Lachie Cowan H: 188cm W: 81kg --slingshot rebounding defender, good height but beautiful kick out of tassie, great combination of speed and using it correctly and kicking Josh Weddle H: 192cm W: 89kg --probably out of range here but players do slide, tested really well for speed and endurance, strong overhead, going to be a player as a rebounding intercepting defender Darcy Jones: H: 175cm W: 67kg --small forward, super zippy, broke the agility record of 14yrs, small forward but like spargo is a strong midfielder at junior level and would play up the gorund, maybe even as a daniels type HB Max Knobel H: 206cm W: 91kg OR Harry Barnett H: 202cm W:93kg --the two top ruck prospects, knobel has been growing and putting on weight all year, barnett won their duels during the year, project players Anthony Munkara H: 186cm W:77kg --linked to essendons nga, he could be anything as a leaping third tall, raw but has serious talent and x factor and knows his way around goals, excites me

he was out of contract this year, likely to be delisted after their recent high profile draft and trade/fa recruits and we've grabbed him for a pick in the 60s even the doggies are unlikely to use. we get to choose the coin and the contract length. and im sure he woulda said yes to our first offer because it was us or the scrapheap

key forwards OOC 2023 according tohttps://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/out_of_contract_players?year=2023&action=submit -McAsey, Tex -HIPWOOD -TDK -Mihocek, WKelly -HJones, 2MP -Treacy, Lobb -Sav, SNeale -Casboult, Day -Himmelberg, Riccardi -Jeka, Kosi -Comben, Edwards -Dixon, Georgiades, Lycett -JR8, BALTA -McLean, Amartey, Franklin -Jamieson, JWilliams -Bruce, SDarcy, TOB take ya pick

there it is and hunter can have 26 if he comes pick 13 -12 pick 37 -29

Harmes 43

mitch lewis, taken the pick before the rookie draft? also sidenote can anyone explain to me why bruzzie maynard was at the aflw game on the weekend? was it just cox corey/fathers involvement?

7.30

its a goer from me, would be happy to see it, especially a f3, happy days. dogs probably want one of our 2 F2's tho

4 flat and an injury is just stiff [censored], wasn't a broken system so why fix it. same goes with the stand rule. if a rule isn't going to last for 5 years or be changed within 5 years, then imo we don't need it. feel like people in these roles feel like they must make changes either to A) prove they are doing something in their role or B) for their own self-admiration that they had the ability to make a rule change so they just went and did it

thats right...!! i'm just turner

i have the pleasure at working at the aflw and was on site for this weeks dees game. i made the mistake of locking eyes mr burke on the doggies bench at this moment. fair to say he wasn't happy. in his defense that tackle was high and shoulda been called

stinks, leave it at 4, we can barely field 22 down in the amo resies, dont need to try and find an extra player every week now

OR we have 5 senior, 1 A-rookie and 1 B-rookie available if we chose the 38-4-2 method instead of last years 36-6-2

groo-zoo-ski

We owe it to Weid to let him explore his oportunities at the dons where he likely gets more looks in and schache can play the mb38 role for a year or two until the big fish lands

he's a better tap ruckman than darcy

i agree with layz here, 3 year deals for all draftees is too much given the average career is 3yrs length. and quite often players are delisted after 2. less players will be drafted as there will be more clutter on each list each year, this would therefore bulge the cap and the top players would have to play for less etc etc theres too much flow on, the idea for the first round i would be ok with as usually they're given longer than 2 years in the system regardless and whilst i'm on it the end of 1st round should also be the cut off for NGA bids as well, 40 is too far out and gives no incentive to clubs to invest in it

im of the view we should go smaller here and try and get our second pick into the 30 range to have a go at keeler, i rkn he has the best athletic build of the talls. cadman i feel has peaked early and benefitted from being the biggest bloke out there against other 18yo's which as we found out with weid doesnt necessarily transition to the big league. keeler has the leap and the athletic ability to get around the grounds. pair him with hollands i say and then bring elijah back to melbourne in a few years time ;)
