Roost it far

He’s a Red Bull Ambassador so has been heading there for the last few years. Let’s be honest Canberra or Austria? I know where I’m going! I was hoping Clarry would be joining him.

Cultural mentor……the less that is said the better!

The thing that worries me with these so called super drafts is in reality they only become super drafts 3-5 years down the track. There's been plenty of busts picked at 9. Whilst I trust JT to get them right we can ill afford to not nail the picks we get. There's no doubt 2, perhaps 3 standouts in the top 10 this year and I don't want Carlton taking the guy we're chasing. Twomey thinks we may try to trade our picks again, it's going to be interesting viewing that's for sure.

I don't think that's going to happen. I do think we'll see several changes over the next 12 - 24 months. Richardson, Pert, Green and likely several board members all possibly to be replaced.......total guess by the way.

Nothing would satisfy me more than watching Macrae leave Collingwood in tatters in 2 years with an old list, no youngsters and no first round picks, all the while we've gone all Baby Demons and won a flag.

Who do they want and is it the same player as us? I'd really hate to do all this trading and then watch Carlton trump us after watching Houston go to Collingwood.

Just to finish on: Demonland when discussing Clayton's contract.

There's always picks if you want them bad enough as we proved today.

If Stringer lands at GWS which seems more than likely does that open the door for Derksen or is it shut?

Still chasing at least 2 assistants, seems to have gone quiet lately. Jones probably taking the role Sloane was earmarked for? He's got passion that's for sure. Would be interesting to know what if any qualifications/experience he has aside from being our former Captain?

Do we have 49???

I can’t remember, the season is dead to me

Daisy Pearce will be half a chance to become an assistant then an AFL coach over the next few years

Once they turn 30 Collingwood will take them both.

Sounds like you've got a friend for your afternoon walks........Couldn't help myself :)

All quiet on the Oliver front this morning. Must be real news to report......Like the hapless, beleaguered, wretch of a club securing pick 9 to add to pick 5 in a strong draft......all from a team that hasn't fired a shot for 20 plus years. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Be nice to add pick 34 to this arrangement. That’d give us a good chance to pick up a solid citizen to go with the likely top end talent we’re locking in. Maybe 2024 won’t end so badly.

It never ceases to amaze me just how much better players look in our guernsey.

Nor has there been any Indication that he’s a first round selection. The club will likely have answers to both those questions.

Preferred outcome

No idea just running the law of averages over a 23 year old mid season selection who hasn’t played a game yet. Always happy to be wrong on these hunches.

The thing is if we nail these picks and Petracca and Oliver have strong seasons it puts us in a much stronger position to trade one or both for serious compensation.
