Storma and Wiz

This years draft brings me back to the 2014 draft where there is a mirror image of Brayden George and Jake Lever. Lever would've been a top 3-4 pick if not injured in his draft year. There was also the failed trade attempt of Jack Trengove (pick 13 Richmond pick) to select Lever. We are here again with Brayden George. Injured in his draft year. I have no inside knowledge this. But I believe we are very hot on George now.

Maybe we might be thinking the other way around. We pick George at 13 and a key tall at 19. What key talls would be in the mix at 19?

If Sydney are interested with George. There is a strong possibility we will take George at 13. Initially, I would love to get Hewett. But now, I believe we have our hearts set on George, as we are hoping to get pick 19 as well. This is becoming a real game of chess now.

I was at Princes Park when WA played Vic Metro and Elijah Hewett looked a ready made AFL player to me - far more than any other player on the ground that day with the exception of Will Ashcroft. I’d like to know what he’s done wrong since that game that caused him to slide to a projected top 20 pick.

I listened to Elijah Hewitt's interview on SEN last week. Elijah seemed confident he will be selected within pick range of 8-12 range. I would be very excited if he is still available at our First Pick 13. But I'm no expert. It is better if we leave it to JT to make this call. Ed Allan will be gone before our First Pick.

I'll be happy for Isaac Keeler! 😁

St Kilda will take him (Isaac) with their second pick if he is still available.

Brayden George won’t get past the 20’s let alone the rookie draft. Phillipou will barely get past Essendons first pick let alone our first pick. Keeler is a chance. Jefferson will be the likely for our pick 13. Emile-Brennan will be on the list as a rookie if available.

I don't think Phillipou will be available. I'm thinking Melbourne would like to get in front of West Coast and select Elijah Hewett. It sounds like we are very keen on Ed Allan. 

I think Jacob could be making his debut this Thursday night.
