It is quite funny. Have to hope he doesn’t need to mention Kynan Brown, until the ND concludes tonight. Then he can rate him highly as a Dees’ rookie.

And hopes Kynan Briwn is not selected.

Now that he has gone to Carlton, I hope it's the latter.

Well that's not much.

Repeat after me, quickly: " ooh wah, tagooh, siam "

I am annoyed Moir went to Blues. I would have been happy with any other club. Just a bit nervous he may turn out to be very good. Hopefully not. Our two look ok, here's hoping.

Yet Eagles are apparently desperate to get him. They would probably know him the best.

They wouldn’t do the deal until after our pick.

But it's not.

The only problem then is if Roos or Hawks take Curtin. Eagles admin could not survive the fallout of losing both Reid and Curtin.

May and Max probably have 2 good years left at best.

Understand that, but that was because we had 6. The real question is do we rate WC F1 highly enough to lose the player we want at 6. Then also possibly get 23, which with our 42, should get an improved pick for the 2nd player we would be taking. I am not saying 23 is the prize, it is the cream on F1, if we like that cake. If Curtin is there at 6, I assume we would get the WC call. So the decision would need to be made, to take who we want, or lose that selection for at least WC F1 and possibly 23 as well. I don't think WC would baulk at F1 and 23 to ensure Curtin. We would then have 11 as our first selection and maybe a teens selection next with F1 for next year as a gold selection to use or trade to get a top player. That could really enhance the Jackson trade reward for us.

Nik Nat has flown in to Melbourne to present his jumper number to a WC draftee, presumably Reid. If that is the case, game, set and match. That would still leave live trading for other picks. It is believed WC will try and get Curtin through pick trading. Curtin should be there at 6. We are seeing a late knock on Curtin, is that WC disinformation? If they offer us their F1 for 6, do we pass on Curtin, Windsor or whoever and take that F1 to use next year, either as a selection or trade ammunition? If WC rise a few spots, we could lose a player’s development for a year for a not too much better pick. I think WC are that desperate for Curtin they would consider throwing in 23 and you could bundle that and 42 to get a pick in the teens and could grab someone like maybe Moir or Murphy or whoever. Don’t jump all over me, I am just raising another discussion point. What are the thoughts?

Well the girls follow the guys and go out in straight sets. At least we are a consistent club.

His SA Coach saying he is one of the most talented kids he has seen. Could be a great later pick.

Don’t think the fans are feeling that great either.

Too many small, light, fumblers.

I was just thinking that. Fumbling, poor disposal, can’t kick, mark or handball. What has happened?

The commentators are the least of the problems.

How is Bannon going? Could she actually be more frightened of a contest? Get her on the wing where she can run.

I have tried to liven things up on the draft threads and the fish are biting.

One who starts a riot.

And another from left field. If we are keen on Reid and Windsor, could we give all our picks and future 1 to WC, who give their F1 for 7 and GWS F1 and we get 1 and 7 and get Reid and Windsor and then we delist say Woey and Laurie if they are agreeable, who go to WC in Pre Season Draft and/or Supplemental draft. Woey goes home and is probably a certainty for a rebuilding WC and Laurie gets games. Jed Adams or even Spargo could come into the conversation. That would mean for example we get 1 and 7. WC get 6, 11, 42, 78 and MFC F1 and GWS F1 and say Woey and Laurie, who would both be starting 23 for WC immediately. 6 appears certain to get Curtin, a future Captain by all accounts. GWS give 7 and F1 and get WC F1 which could be absolute gold. We get Reid and Windsor, or whoever is left. Am I missing something?

Here is another scenario. If Curtin is there at 6, we trade it for WC F1 and it would get us Ben King, if he left GC next year. Then if possibly Petty insists on a trade home, we pick up a couple of first rounders to go with our own and we are back in next year's draft in a big way, or in a great position for further trading. Fun and games coming up over the next 24 hours.

I think you mean they "are" set on taking Reid, as far as the reports have gone. Most reports saying they will keep 1. Still think if we want Reid and they are prepared to trade pick 1, we are the real chance.
