Norf?

Lots of talls in next years draft apparently, might be the plan to trade in again and grab one

It was encouraging to see. Our midfield lacks another player who can tuck the ball under their arm and go for a run. Wouldn't shock me if we throw him in the centre bounces to be honest.

Some clearer Howes footage here

Some obscure names for these Melb father sons

AMW > NWM

We don't really have a player like him on the list. Hope he can develop well.

Another from Perth? https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/judd-mcvee/ What a name, like something out of American Pie

We view Howes as a wing/midfielder, from JT's draft wrap

It isn't really. These are guys going pick 40 odd, every side had multiple picks to grab them if they wanted. Maybe one of them becomes an absolute jet but it'll be an error of 17 other clubs then.

Howe has Collingwood origins I know that much

Reading between the lines sounds like we were very surprised Howes was available

Take the weaknesses with a grain of salt. Draft central's write up of Bowey last year had toughness as a strength, but contested side as a weakness. They often contradict themselves.

Rookie draft

We simply don't rate anyone remaining, and would rather push the pick to next year, even at the expensive of a few spots, than waste it this year

Budget Bailey Smith I reckon by the way he moves Surely they'll look at him as an inside mid

Welcome to Demonland Pick 3-8

“I had an interview with (coach) Simon (Goodwin) and then they called me (Tuesday) night to see how I was going. So I had a suspicion but wasn’t really sure. “I feel obviously stoked and pumped. It’s really exciting and a dream come true.” Looks like they planted the seed the night before

Classy midfielder if possible. Sonsie probably will be taken by the Hawks. Will be interesting to see where clubs rate Goater. Could be a Dangerfield or could be a Sam Frost, I'm intrigued.
