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...!

Wiki Leake's first game of the talent league season as a full time forward. His hands in the marking contest weren't as clean as normal, but he competed hard in bringing the ball to ground. He stayed dangerous all game, contributing 4 goals and getting involved in scoring chains.

Essendon have Nic Martin, Duursma perhaps even Tsatas for their wings, Windsor would be a really odd choice for them

Everyone loves a smokey... SNAPSHOT: “A mercurial small forward with a deep bag of tricks, Lance Collard is one of Western Australia’s most exciting prospects, with his ability to create something from nothing.” West Coast NGA product Lance Collard shapes as one of the more interesting names in this draft class. A top-end talent with some freakish highlights, the Subiaco star is a classy, high-octane small forward, demonstrating similar traits to Bobby Hill or Shai Bolton with his ability to change a game. After an injury interrupted bottom-age campaign, Collard hit the ground running in 2023, booting 15 goals in the first six games, including a six-goal bag in the WAFL Colts Super Round to earn selection in the West Australian Under 18 squad. Collard had an indifferent National Carnival, playing forward in a struggling side, but he showed glimpses of his talents, booting two last-quarter goals against Vic Country to almost spark his state to an upset victory. Returning to Subiaco, the 18-year-old enjoyed a dominant finals series, booting 10 goals across two games to almost lead the Lions further into the postseason off his own boot. He finished the campaign with 32 goals across 11 Colts games to average the most majors of any small forward in the competition. STRENGTHS: + Aerial ability + Agility + Forward craft + Finishing + Speed + X-factor IMPROVEMENTS: - Consistency - Discipline - Opposite foot

This was the game in which James Leake transformed himself from a solid defender into contender for the top 10 as a dynamic forward. He was swung forward at half time with his Devils team trailing and he went on a tear in the third quarter, clunking every mark in his area with clean hands and slotting three goals for the term.

WCE fans think they love McKercher should they trade pick 1

Caruso seems a very astute operator

Gimme the box!

Lotta people seem to be forgetting we brought in KPF, KPD, Ruck (rookie), Ruck (rookie) last year

Feels like the type of player Giants might take a punt on at their first pick

Leake and Windsor named. You've outdone yourself Wezza

Off the top of my head.... FB: Rivers, May, Tomlinson HB: McVee, Lever, Salem C: Langdon, Brayshaw, Hunter HF: Pickett, Petty, Petracca FF: Fritsch, van Rooyen, McAdam R: Gawn, Oliver, Viney I/C: Billings, Bowey, Sparrow, ANB SUB: Spargo No obvious second ruck is a worry, unless they actually view Fullarton as potentially best 22 Want SparGod in the side for his kicking but someone like Billings may keep him out as a higher upside option, or Goodies golden boy & future best and fairest winner in ANB Hopefully we see someone like Woey or Howes keep their spot if given the chance Unfortunate that there's no direct competition for Sparrow's spot with a similar type of player, hopefully that changes when picks 6 & 11 have names Chandler still remains an unknown, fell away so badly that you probably couldn't put him in your October best 22...

You'd hope so if we're taking him as high as #6
