Could be Naughton cause he doesn’t like the coach and Dogs can’t pay them all but I feel like it’s more likely to be someone older, a Walker/Hawkins age demographic/type (not saying it’ll specifically be them) who can help out for 1 or 2 years until JVR and Jefferson are fully ready. Makes more sense and wouldn’t have to give up a stack of draft picks especially pick 5 which we need to take to the draft. You’ll end up losing one of Petty JVR or Jefferson if you bring in a 25 year old because they can’t all play forward. Yes I am on the Jefferson will be a player side as opposed to most

Tom Hawkins rumour got any truth to it? Anyone know?

Hawks are going for Duursma that’s the narrative

Why

Maybe now that North aren’t getting Sanders, they’ll take him at 3 with their own pick anyway instead of Mckercher? Which would leave the door ajar for him to slide to our first pick

Perfect for us, sounds like North will grab him after Curtin with the McKay compensation (3) though , maybe we could make a charge for their pick 3 instead of GC 4, probably the only way. Duursma to Hawks then Watson to Dogs (at the moment that’s the narrative) so North really is the only roadblock to Mckercher

To me it doesn’t sound like we are as keen on pick 4 as I would’ve thought? Usually extremely aggressive with this sort of stuff and we’ve been out of the limelight with it, only hearing Dogs and North when it’s obvious we have the picks to do it as well. Wonder why

Not the first time I’ve heard this so fingers crossed

Bulldogs will grab Watson

Joel Selwood mids coach and Stevie J forwards coach ahhh

Skills seem meh

What position does he play?

This ain’t the draft for midfielders they’re few and far between

Sounds to me that Sanders is out of the equation for them and they’ll just get pick 11 outright?

Should throw 900 a year at Jamarra Ugle Hagan, or some sort of offer he can’t refuse. Dogs have to sign up Naughton and English on close to a million next year, Jamarra is out of contract next year as well. They have Darcy and now Croft waiting in the wings as key forwards too, that’s too many with Lobb as well. Dogs are after high draft picks this year, pick 5 + whatever else we have could get it done. Don’t see anyone in this draft as talented as him at our pick. Long shot but as Gerard said, shake the tree!

With a good pre season Howes should be on a wing next year. Langdon has had a terrible year and an awful finals series, Hunter has been ok but no penetration in his kicking, time to give Blake a go if he’s injury free, it’s his best position

So you think it’s unlikely the club will go for a key forward again in this draft? Even if Morris ends up being a late pick? We’d want to be sure Jefferson’s gonna be good to ignore a Caddy or Morris imo

Shame Bedford didn’t hang around to play footy with his cousin

Have to

Looks like Hibbo rolls up to his speech on a scooter?

Pick 4 going to the dogs at this stage

We do not have the tools up forward, Fritsch will be on one foot by then. If Melksham and Petty were playing it’d be a different story

Watching Brisbane v Port, it’s really dawning on me how badly we’ve stuffed up on Thursday night. Port or GWS in a home prelim? What an outcome that would’ve been, straight through to the granny in my opinion. Now we have to play Carlton AND Brisbane at the Gabba, that is really rough. I cannot see us beating Brisbane up there, down here in a grand final? Quite possible

When/ if north get their pick 3 compensation for McKay, can they split it? Maybe it’s more realistic for us to target that pick and try and get Duursma before the Hawks? Offer them 5+ whatever else ? Not sure on the rules there though

Errol gulden went alright last night at 175cm. Kozzy 1cm taller than Watson, height won’t be an issue
