I’d be taking those two over Duursma and CDT (West Coast)

I don’t think he makes it past Tigers Reading the tea leaves it seems to be shaping as Duursma and CDT for WC, Robey and Grij for Rich, and Sharp and Taylor for Dons Lots of play out though

Seems like our picks are going to fall just short of the top players in this draft which is a shame There’s a few names I like in your list - Lindsay, Dovaston and Taylor in particular - but they all come with question marks

Some good highlights in there - he definitely has a bit of Nick Watson/Tom Papley in him I like that he can get possessions up the ground and some of his hand balling in close was impressive for someone not playing midfield I don’t know if he’d be a reach at 7 or 8 but he would definitely fill a need for us and it never hurts to bring in a player with a bit of attitude 😈

Is Robey and a later pick really much better than two of Lindsay/Grij/Dovaston etc? I like the look of him but we still have holes all round the ground and would prefer to bring in another two highly rated players than put all our eggs in one basket Of course I’ll back JT in if he thinks it’s worth it

Is Robey really that much better than who we’re likely to get at 7 and 8? I know JT likes him but we’ve made a lot of having “8 first rounders over 4 years” - burning a first to move up a few spots seems to run counter to that *acknowledging it’s only a rumour

Was watching some footage of your boy Taylor this morning - looks a jet Do you prefer him over Lindsay?

Interesting that Twomey had Grij in the teens in his September Phantom Draft though - do you think his combine results are going to push him further up the draft boards?

Incredible recruiting from JT to nail both Dogga and Kozzy, and very handy that Rivers slid to the 30s too!

This is what I’d be hoping for Teague was a poor head coach (or maybe Carlton was just a mess when he got the job), but he’s always been very strong on offense and ball movement Would love to get another experienced tactical head in

Any more word on Teague? Reading the Guerra article this morning it seems like Hawkins might be the last appointment (other than that possible Head of Strategy role that was flagged last month)

Lindsay at 7 and Grij at 8

We definitely still need an A grade half back to wax and wane with Bowey for the next decade, so wouldn’t be against Lindsay at all Would also help Rivers and Xavier develop into full time mids

I’m always suss on taking key forwards early in the first round, unless they’re a clear cut above like a Cadman or Walter in recent years Hopefully we continue to add to our mid, half back and small forward stocks ahead of guys like Marsh and Schubert

Same, but just concerned our picks are going to fall just outside the real top end of this draft and we might be left with a couple of those players I agree with AB10 though, we hopefully should be able to grab two of Lindsay, Grij and Dovaston which would be a great result

Do we take a Sharp or Greeves type if they fall to us? I know we’ve all been crying out for more outside midfielders, but we probably don’t have that young developing inside bull other than Langford (of course that depends how much you see Windsor, Kolt and Lindsay developing in that mould)

Jeez I hope so But also appreciate Paul’s willingness to be open and communicative with members

A future first makes this a completely different deal and a win for us Disappointed we won’t be getting Humphrey but this is the next best thing, and you’d have to be delusional to think otherwise

What the [censored]? There better be a future first rounder coming back or this makes no sense

Between who? Us and Trac, or us and Suns?

Not sure why we can’t offer 28 instead of 24? Or why we’re even sending a pick back at all? Resigned to only getting picks for Trac, but we shouldn’t be doing the Suns a favour in regards to the academy players

@Dannyz did you ever get any more intel about our talks with the Suns today? Seemed to be radio silence from the media

Mate the supporters would be [censored] themselves too 🤣 We wouldn’t be boring that’s for sure!

If you didn’t hear this at a BBQ I don’t believe you
