If we draft Finn might be a good strategy to draft bo Allan too, capital for Harley Reid plus finn and Harley are mates. imagine the speed with Windsor fos and bo allen combined with bulls Trac, Oliver and viney

If we do want Armstrong I hope we hold our nerve and wait till pick 9 Richmond will be hoping for some combination of lalor Langford smith and o’Sullivan with pick 1 and 6 saints have massive holes in midfield and flankers ( young) so a smilie and Lindsay/hotton/travaglia or Reid combination would be a lot better for them, if anything they need a key back ( trainor) after battle left

Watching those highlights I’m not worried about his speed hopefully the bad testing means he drops to us at 5

I think you have to take the powerful dynamic xfactor midfielder/forward. They are hard to draft and you can build your midfield from there Harley Reid, danger, dusty , Trac , degoey,Warner. Blokes like Murphy Reid, Lindsey , Jagga, maybe Draper are easier to find, plus mcvee and rivers could Be our more outside mids in the future i would be going for h Langford then if he’s gone lalor and if they are both gone maybe O’Sullivan is still available

It makes sense from Adelaide’s pov to just have a crack and offer pick 4 and future first they have rankine Dawson Fogarty thilthorpe and a host of others in that similar age bracket to Oliver , they need a ball winner to go with their class. Pick 3 last yr was dursma who hasn’t done much this year

I just watched highlight packages of jagga smith smilie Fos Draper Langford lalor trainor and Joe berry out of them Langford and lalor ooze best players in comp potential, they make things look effortless and seem to have more time. They can have wow moments I really like Joe berry, he has a bit of sheezel or Zac Bailey about him. The way he moves side to side and can be really crafty with his kicking. He could start up forward and move into midfield with time. we would have to trade up into 12-15 range for him maybe a trade with Richmond for a future first when they get one of the freo picks?

Anyone see my man Jobe shanahan kicked 4 goals in vfl for Essendon. trade our next years first to get him.

If we go for a fwd in the draft no more athletic, potential players ie weiderman if we can snatch a low first round pick 15-17 from Carlton or Brisbane, go for Jobe shanahan, got something about him. Looks same mould as a mihocek, van rooyen , darling. They are the fwds u want in afl ( competitive beasts) A lot of the fwds that dominate school footy and tac cup rarely translate it to afl, mainly because the guys in afl are all taller and athletic too.

But your just picking out players randomly could easily be no good too. easy to look back 5 years later and say we should of picked that player. take less risk out and take certainty’s, but I’m sure tim lamb and team r all over it.

Can Rayner draft - pick 6 jaiden Stephenson and pick 11 aiden bonar Matt Rowell draft pick 6 Fischer mcasey pick 11 sam Flanders You don’t really know what your going to get yeah some super drafts work out alright but I would rather have cam Rayner or Matt Rowell type player

Haven’t seen the 3 1st rounders much either, could all be duds ??

Surely north would want O’Sullivan, take Ben McKays spot. They are desperate for more of a lockdown defender. Rather than curtin They have a surplus of potential midfield stars Could be perfect for them swapping 3 with our 6 plus our future first ??

I’ve been on Zane dursma all year so much going for him fast, elite skills, great mark and big leap when he was playing at Casey there was a few highlights of him linking up down the wing with harmes and few others and he already looked better than them. Makes good and fast decisions. Reminds me a lot of Conor rozee

What is Jarrod Witt’s or big o or similar player (top 5-10 ruck in comp worth) grundy played vfl because Gawn is better, that doesn’t mean he isn’t worth anything.

Trade for gc pick 11 get in curtain or O’Sullivan pick 6 Darcy Wilson pick 11 Throlstrop pick 14 powerful big halfforward types who are aggressive and good kicks. And a big defender to take over from may and let petty go forward for good

If we keep some of our 20s picks would love to go for will brown 194cm captain at sandy dragons bog in Coates granny 3 goals did some great things up forward but is a midfielder. Maybe could be similar to a Mattaes phillipou play a third tall and pinch hit in midfield

I don’t see hawks having enough pick 3 will end up pick 5 maybe next year hawks have a good year and finish just outside top 8

Bailey Humphrey too and we give future first and later 23 picks to help them with points for academy players

IF Clarry left would u take gc pick 4 gc future first Ben king for Clarry melb pick 25 pick 34 melb future second then trade gc pick 4 future melb first rd pick for nm pick 2 then trade pick 2 pick 13 and future first gc to west coast for Harley Reid melb end up with Harley Reid/ Ben king and (pick 5) Zane dursma/O’Sullivan/Watson/mckercher

Surely two high teen picks from bulldogs or whoever else isn’t what gc is after, seems like they will just get wasted on bids for academy players surely they would prefer maybe one later teen pick (roughly pick 18 ish) and or maybe some 20s picks. Wouldn’t they prefer 2024 first round picks

O’Sullivan will be a jet 198 cm and moves well seems really mobile and could be similar to a mark blicavs where he could play anywhere worthy of a pick 5 especially if we can get gc pick

Which none play midfield Collingwood for example have degoey crisp daicos bros Pendlebury it’s not always about your kicking skills, just making time to make right decision

Melbourne needs to get some elite decision makers, or this team is done. Viney, Oliver, brayshaw etc they just bomb the ball in 50 over and over How often do u ever see guys like Pendlebury, rozee , butters, degoey continually do that

Ok this is a bit out there but what do u think ? we trade Grundy and our pick 24 to SydneY, Sydney give us pick 11 We trade pick 5 pick 11 pick 15 to west coast for Harley Reid West coast can go after local talent throlstrop, curtin, edwards and hardeman We then trade future first and future second and whatever else picks are left for Gold Coast pick 4 we end up with Harley Reid and either dursma/Watson/O’Sullivan/mckercher

Would be a great addition, him and kossie could do some special things together, perhaps go all in on gc pick 4 and grab O’Sullivan too
