i'm sorry but Luke Jackson isn't a forward. he is a ruck. 

It doesn't take a doctor to figure out he's not rucking over max next year

Mihocek is the type of forward you can play with other talls, especially if one is as mobile and decent below the knees as Action

Won't get much attention, but Harmesy really showed up, especially early in the game, down back taking a few grabs and clearing the ball out of trouble with a couple of ground balls

6. Brayshaw

5. Viney

4. Oliver

3. Pickett

2. Gawn

1. Hibberd

Unluckiest player in the comp, hoping he doesn’t let this setback get to him too much.

On the other hand Preuss being so close is a nice surprise

The interesting part is that he thinks only 1 or 2 players will miss Rd 1, not including Bennel, KK and Neita. Preus being an obvious pick I’m guessing either May or Vanders. How’s Hannan been tracking because he may be questionable as well

I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought I heard this

Completely incorrect mate, we just got away with robbery. 

All those who wanted Young, we've got the next best thing here and a player who is arguably a lot more flexible positionally. 

Was so worried they would pick Rantall, who's a butcher, or Bianco, who is undersized and quite outside. 

Don't get me wrong I rate Rivers highly, even stating he'd be one of the three i'd like us to take.

Whoever picks Ryan Byrnes at this stage has got away with robbery

Jack Mahony

Also knightmare has linked us to Brady Rowles which he says is another reach

Byrnes, Rivers, Mahony

Please

Apparently yesterday someone noticed some horns starting to grow on Pickett’s head.

I heard his teammates call him basil

We’re still doing riddles right?

Got word this morning that Weightman is confident he’ll find him self in a kennel come tonight.

Doerre's latest and last take....has us taking Weightman with 10....

https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/28164931/every-club-every-pick-espn-full-afl-phantom-draft

I feel like Weightman would be a mistake but I’ve been wrong before

I'm punting that other teams might have their favourite recruit in mind and none of them are eyeing off a back flanker. 

One can dream

Doerre stating on his twitter that Young may drop to pick 10 potentially. Sydney and Fremantle only teams that may get in the way according to him. 

Obviously thats an amazing result and the recent pick swap makes even more sense

No need for another ruckman as Austin Bradtke is now the size of three normal sized ruckmen combined

Now we know what happened to Stretch and JKH

So if this is true we’ve turned 3, 26 and 50 this year into 6 and 8. Feels like slight overs for mine but happy to see what we do with them before losing my mind

Haven't seen any of the above play, but as Serong was in this Phantom Draft as our pick, can you tell me a bit about what he would bring to the side that is a little different from what we have?  Genuinely curious.

There’s a video in the pick 3 thread @Wiseblood that I think really highlights his ball winning and crumbing in the forward line. He seems to have a bit of bulk on him, despite his short stature

there'll be a few demonlander's wanting to see the weekly votes with this result

It’s the GNF special. Tell a riddle then when anything happens, claim that’s what you were talking about. Voilã.

I'd love to know the process that got him to say Basil if he's pulling our collective leg

Also suggests picking up Tomlinson and Amon in free agency on top of these moves. Both good options imo

I don't mind his 3 options for the draft/trade period. Has there been any more mention of Ben King coming out of GC?

1) Trade pick 2 for Brad Hill and Ed Langdon – potentially moving on a player if you need to, to make the salary cap work. Take pick 20 to the draft.

2) Trade pick 2 for Ben King and pick 20 for Ed Langdon.

3) Trade pick 20 for Ed Langdon, and take pick 2 to the draft – or if you can downgrade it for two picks, like say two first-rounders from GWS, consider that.
