Jokes on you I made it all up

But several live trades on draft night could yet shake-up the order as rivals including Adelaide (pick 10) and Sydney (12) zero in on pick seven from GWS Giants. Essendon (pick nine) has targeted key defender Connor O’Sullivan, but Adelaide and Sydney are plotting a move up the order to land O’Sullivan first and pip the Bombers if they can get seven. Geelong is eyeing powerful forward Nate Caddy at pick eight to help secure a replacement for Tom Hawkins. If GWS complete a deal with Adelaide to slide back to pick 10, the Giants could secure classy outside midfielder Caleb Windsor at 10. Versatile Tasmanian defender James Leake could also bolt into the top-10, while Geelong is also considering Murray midfielder Darcy Wilson and Essendon has kept tabs on WA defender Riley Hardeman if the Bombers slide back into the teens.

Melbourne is circling key tall Daniel Curtin and made the 8000km round trip to interview his Western Australian livewire teammate Koltyn Tholstrup. The Demons are in a strong position to land Curtin as a flexible key position player who could emerge as the long-term replacement for 31-year-old Steven May. The Hawks will have the first call on the 195cm Curtin at pick four but could instead pick up exciting small forward Nick Watson, while the Bulldogs like midfielder Ryley Sanders at five. It means the Demons could land Curtin at six and then take exciting forward-midfielder Koltyn Tholstrup at 11 after visiting him in Esperance in regional WA last week. Gun recruiter Jason Taylor is believed to have flown to Perth and then taken a light plane to the southern tip of WA to meet the 188cm goal kicker and his parents. It is understood the Demons are the only club to have made the mega trip down to Tholstrup’s hometown to interview the popular and physical game winner. The Demons also have Windsor in the mix to help bolster their transition game, but would be ecstatic to secure Tholstrup if Windsor is already gone. As the Herald Sun revealed last month, West Coast remains interested in swapping its future first-round draft pick with either Hawthorn or Melbourne to land Curtin. But the Demons and Hawks are expected to knock back that offer in the chance West Coast bounces up the ladder next year with an improved injury list.

Hope Georgie Samios is doing okay

ESPN just making stuff up

This Carlton Thillthorpe fella reads well

Bit of clickie the bait from the Sun Our draft experts Chris Cavanagh, Jordan Pinto and Dan Batten will play the role of club recruiters and run through their very own live mock draft from 12pm AEDT on Wednesday.

Where's the Simpson bit from

Heard he has Kolt following

Trade the pick to the Crows, they take Curtin and don't pursue Petty, 6D chess

Is there a world where we trade pick 6 back a couple spots to a side with a later top 10 pick, if they want Curtin, and pocket a future pick in exchange?

Someone mentioned Hawks flew Phillipou over this time last year too so might not mean too much

"...while there have been plenty of links to smooth moving running machine Darcy Wilson" I think Wilson is the only person I'm yet to see linked with us....!

I was thinking 12 hours after

We've been linked to almost every player predicted to go in the top dozen or so, wonder when the real mail is coming

Interesting that Twomey doesn't mention us re team thats are into Leake

We love medium defenders and players who can't move TOO MUCH!

It was a genuine question !

Do you know a player manager, D11?

Where were you when JKH was shot

I remember when Blake Howes was considered a sure thing to be taken by us at pick 19, only to be taken almost 20 picks later

Maybe the media have got their mail backwards and it's Windsor at 6, Leake at 11!

It'll be pick 7 or 8 after bids, cursed lifted...!
