From that you've got to think it's either 2 mids, or a mid and a "need" (best small or Tall Dovaston/Schubert). Was all suppositions from Cal. We're gonna have to wait for more water to go under the bridge.

Thank God. You'd think that after we just moved on Oliver and Tracc, have an ageing Viney and for the most part unproven kids as depth..

I've warmed so much to Dovaston I'll be [censored] if we don't draft him. It's not that I necessarily think he's elite - I've seen better highlight packages in my day - it's that I feel he will bring what we need, what Kingy wants, and in an area of the ground we're lacking.

@adonski bigfooty's a bit light-on in the phantom drafts this year no? There's only like a few people that are doing them..

Every year is a Collingwood death ride my guy.

He seems to make the right decisions, has a bit of composure and balance about him. Looks to be one of those solid peices you need in your midfield, a bit of break away and delivery to the forward line. Little bit of Spargo about him. We couldn't do much worse than him and Dovaston at 7/8

WA boy. Pass.

"Daz Talks Footy" had us taking Dovaston and Farrow @ 8:42

Aussie Rules Rookie Me CentralSam Cumming Draft ProfileNorth Adelaide prospect Sam Cumming is a powerful and competitive midfielder-forward with strong work rate.SNAPSHOT: “An explosive and competitive midfielder-forward who reliably wins contested ball and has added weapons to his game.” – Michael Alvaro Sam Cumming will be among the most highly sought after prospects at this year’s draft after an impressive couple of seasons with North Adelaide. The midfielder took out last year’s SANFL Under 18 MVP award as a bottom-ager, making 10 appearances for an average of 27 disposals. He also turned out twice for South Australia at the Under 18 National Championships, and was selected to play in the National Futures game. With such exploits under his belt, Cumming was inducted into the 2025 AFL Academy and impressed during a preseason training stint at Port Adelaide. He came into season proper with huge wraps on his potential, and delivered to become an All-Australian by the end of SA’s title-winning nationals run. The best was yet to come, though, as Cumming stepped up into North Adelaide’s League side and made an immediate impact. Amid arguably his best patch of form for the year, he starred with 21 disposals and three goals in Round 13 against South Adelaide. Unfortunately, his season ended in a fourth and final senior game after injuring his shoulder three weeks later against Central District. Still, Cumming was fit enough to participate at the National Draft Combine where he showcased his explosive speed with a sub three-second 20m sprint time. Cumming is quite well travelled already having played his junior football in Wentworth, a town over the New South Wales border in the Sunraysia region. He also represented Bendigo Pioneers in the 2022 V-Line Cup, but ended up attending school at the prestigious Prince Alfred College in Adelaide and thus linked up with North. He’s a Hawthorn supporter and models his game on the likes of Sydney star Isaac Heeney.

Nah

Throwing GC our second rounders this year has cost us Pickett. I understand why it had to be done, but that's the extra cost. I say we trade down with 8. Maybe Hawks bite with pick #22 and a F1 or Norf with #25 and a F1.

Would any of these scenarios make sense for either clubs? Ess- 5 & 21 for 7 & 8 NMFC - F1 & 25 for 7 or 8 Rich - 4 & F2 for 7 & 8

If the kid shows promise those Freo grubs will start whispering in his ear. Hard pass.

I had a stroke just reading that. Imagine trying to commentate that passage of play live.

They'd have to pay a premium if they're wanting to fast track a kid this year instead of waiting for next year's draft. It should cost them their second round pick this year. I'd do that deal - use that pick for Pickett. Edit - scratch that, their first pick is #49 this year. The [censored].

What else do we get?

Don't like it. Selling too much of the future.

Don't get too hung up on that comment my dude it was more tounge in cheek.

🤔 Intersting if true.

They play quite similar and have the same names. We have a better version - I'd need to see more willingness to take a body or two.

Warming to Grlj big time. I see the Butters comparisons in the way he moves - got that nice sideways movement. Like Dovaston as he looks a real goer- and you need guys like that. Will keep running and provide a link up player also gets dirty. Are there better small forwards to he had next year? No on Lindsay - we've already got a Lindsay and he gets more inside. Also no on Marsh - Jeffo's highlights were better.

We already have two first rounder next year innit

*No WA talent please. They tend to be poached. That is all.

Let's hold onto GC's future first so we can package it up with our own and have anotjrr crack at the BBQ Bear next year.

It's truly bizarre how you write off some of our young developing talent so flippantly whilst also refusing to acknowledge any of your boy Jeffo's shortcomings. You're playing some kind of weird long game where if Jefferson some how makes it and becomes a player, you can claim you're some kind of talent scouting savant and you saw things the whole time that nobody else did. It's a bold low percentage play, but I see you.. 😂
