Hope we rookie a tall. Baldwin was a potential first round talent if not for ACL injury. Good marking tall forward who can play deep or lead up the ground. Yet to know how ACL has effected him. Callow is a good contest marking tall forward option. Not the most athletic player, but strong in the contest and consistently hits the scoreboard. Think Josh Kennedy. Henry Walsh as a ruck project player. Younger brother of Sam Walsh, 203cm and growing still. Very competitive, needs to improve endurance and getting to more contests around the ground. In an AFL environment improving his body, could become a solid ruckman IMO.

Their pick swapping was very well done. For the hand they started with, they were easily the biggest winners of draft night. They upgraded picks, got real talent in before the Mcinnes bid, and moved back next year with future picks to secure Daicos with lesser picks. Pretty much a perfect draft from them. Very frustrating to watch!

[censored] me dead. Righto that’s me done for the night. Not thrilled with our picks, but let’s see how they go. Good to get elite kicks in!

This draft has been excruciatingly slow. It’s horrible to watch.

Praying Carroll is there still at our next pick. Bowey would have been available still at our second round pick. Poor strategy by us IMO.

Good get by the Crows to get local lad Cook. He looks a real talent and I’m annoyed we passed on him with earlier picks when he was still available. He’s quicker than both the guys we drafted and kicks more goals too.

Passed on both Cook and Carroll. Seems like a [censored] up, but just gotta trust the recruiters I guess!

[censored] you Collingwood! Wanted Macrae badly. Hoping for Cook and Carroll now!

Tigers will likely take Macrae with the pick before ours. Hoping for him and Cook though!

Come on Macrae, Cook or Carroll!

He'll be in the 2021 draft pool and likely to go to Freo if he's good enough.

Isn't Kobe Farmer 2021 draft year?

He'll slide a few picks due to that, but still well out of our reach. He looks a talent. He's the one under age player I saw live last year that looked to have real x factor about him. He'll become that prototype mid-forward like Dusty, Danger, Trac etc if he can get his body conditioning right. He has the explosiveness and skill.

AFL premiership coach at Port and key in developing Richmond into a premiership dynasty. Helped develop Dusty into a star and Cotchin from worst captain in the league to 3 time premiership captain? Nah his CV is rubbish ;)

Don’t mind it. Reeeeeeally don’t mind it! Good to see the club on the front foot and reckon Choco will be give great guidance to some of our leaders as well as youngsters. Welcome!

Dwayne is a [censored]. Don't pay any attention to his comments. He's probably the worst commentator and analyst in the media. He makes Dermott Brereton sound smart! To become a star, I reckon Jackson will ONLY make it as a ruckman and not as a forward. His best attributes are his leap, his reflexes and follow up on ground ball. He looks best when following up a ruck contest and getting involved in linking chain with other midfielders, similar to Grundy at Pies. As a forward, he struggled to read the flight of the ball, lead to dangerous spots, and was poor in contests. He's still young and has lots of physical development to go, but IMO he looked better suited to ruck and around ground play rather than as a tall forward.

Only inside word I've heard this year is that we're keen to trade further up the draft and we like Macrae and Stone.

Not unless we traded into the top 10. He's the prototype mid-forward and could go as high as pick 5.

1. Jack Carroll 2. Sam Berry 3. Kaine Baldwin

If we hold and use our current picks, this would be a dream result. I expect one of or both those players to be off the board by the time our picks come around. If we could land either of them I'd be happy. Both have attributes we lack and have potential to become long term AFL players.

I thought he was not eligible until 2021? Also, he’s tied to Freo for both father/son and part of their NGA. He can still nominate us, but unlikely. Not sure he’s too highly rated regardless...

Probably the best possible outcome for us. Macrae won’t make it to us, and these two are next best suited possible at our picks IMO.

Agree we will trade up with a combo of picks like that. We did well to get two end of first rounders, however we’ve been snookered by other clubs (Ess, GWS) having more first rounders than expected. We need to trade up to get our hands on Macrae, Perkins, Cook or Carrol IMO.

Fair call. For some reason I thought he was 27. At 30 yeah he doesn’t offer as much and can see why he was delisted then.

Shane Savage just delisted. I’d take him ahead of a few on our list. Wouldn’t have bothered to sign up some of the depth players we kept on. Ah well!
