GWS must think that Toby Greene is a "jobber" too then with their continued intetest in small forwards.

Or else Ben King is in for a big surprise!

They can trade 2026 and 2027 1st rounders, but they will likely be in Tasmania compromised drafts.

Collingwood don't have an F1st they traded it for Houston.

Should be - they had to learn to kick in clogs over there.

West Coast should realise through media reports that our shocking culture has destroyed his character and not go near him.

Plus a F1 our way thanks

According to your observation.

Look who's talking!

Observation

Probably stoppage goals or turnover goals.

Oliver's role when we don't have the ball is not to run forward.

Burn baby burn, disco inferno!

Message from a friend ... Bloody hell, check the rig on this 18yo in the training camp rowing images. He's ready to go R1. Look out Riv and Spaz, the new calendar man is in town.

"Push in the back" free kicks in general play are an extinct species, they are never paid and players know they can drive forward in the tackle with impunity. This change was partly brought on by the playing community diving forward at the slightest pressure from behind to simulate "in the back" and umpires' reaction to ignore that. The pendulum has now swung too far in that direction now and blatant "in the back" frees go unpaid.

I find Wikipedia is the best source for trade and draft detail across the years. They've refined their format as the years have progressed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_AFL_draft

There's already a vacancy in the back 7 with Rivers moving to the midfield. Lindsay would easily be in the conversation with Howes, Woewodin and AMW.

Makes sense if Kolt is taking 12 as reported. 19 and 30 are next lowest available with 10 reserved for Andy Brayshaw.

AFAIK you have to turn 18 in your draft year to be eligible. January birthdates like Jagga Smith have a decent age advantage over November birthdates like Alix Tauru.

His birthdate is 5 May 2007, he will have played the majority of the season as a 17yo. Not sure where you're getting "15 year old" from WSWS?

So it looks like we had the 6 Langford and 11 Lindsay jumpers ready to go. That's pretty interesting, we must have had good intel on what other clubs were planning to do. Pick 6 for Langford was probably predictable since we were the ones to bid Ashcroft. We must have known the Crows would take Draper. Cal Twomey was rock solid on this before they made the pick. 11 for Lindsay is a bigger get, we must have known the Saints would bid Lombard and take Travaglia and Tauru. And that Richmond would take Smilie. All probably predictable but interesting nevertheless.

Agree, a Kako bid at 5 was probably a real consideration for us at trade time, ultimately we preferred to go with Langford. If Essendon hadn't made the trade, things could have turned out very differently.

I'll get a piece of that $31 for the flag - that's way over. I see Hawthorn is second favourite at $8.50 - madness!

Think of him as a Derksen replacement
