One would have to assume that GC will go the Rowell & Anderson combo, thus we would know who we would draft with pick 3. Unlike others waiting to see who is available at their pick on draft night, if we were going to 'split' our pick, we will be doing it during the trade period.

Agree that is good for the game (and the Hawks and Blues get rejected!!!). But i wonder how much of his deal will be ticked off by Gil as 3rd party endorsements?

Sorry Stigga, but Ingerson is an absolute class above any KPD that has played with or after him at our club (May TBD)

Nah, just take him in the PSD.

god no. We'd have more success splitting the atom.

Stuff that. Get Young with pick 3 & Langdon swapped for pick 20.

Who, according to the Sun, has chosen us as his club of choice. No it doesn't make it a fait accompli, but it goes bloody close to it. Pick 20 will get it done. Clean and simple.

The sooner Benny Gale becomes the CEO the better

In good news SWYL, Coniglio has spurned both the Hawks & Blues to stay at GWS for 7 more years.

I might be in the minority here, but unless we are able to trade in a quality player, i'd rather we held onto pick 3 as opposed to 'splitting' it. I know the draft is said to be top 2 then a bit of daylight to which you could throw a blanket over a number of kids, but having seen Hayden Young's kicking ability, i'd much rather bring him to the club than having to compromise and pick up any leftovers.

Stick him on one wing and Langdon on the other, put Young on a HBF and our run and kicking have all improved.

What is Young's pace like? I know it's not anywhere near Lachie Ash's (but no others are in this draft). If he is deemed as 'quick' or 'fast', then with his laser boot he is our guy.

Raid the cattery............for who? Ablett is on his last legs, Taylor Selwood Hawkins & Dangerfield are getting long in the tooth, Kelly is off to WA. That only leaves Tuohy as one who i'd go after. They are their core and it falls away dramatically after that. Everyone else are just tiny bit player's. The Cats' quality is real quality, but they are starting to get rather old, not much young quality talent coming through down there (aside from Kelly).

To hell with trading Brayshaw. Like most have recognised, he was played out of position for the majority of 2019. Maybe it was because he didn't have the fitness base to stay in the middle full-time due to his lack of versatility. What i do know is that he is a much better midfielder than Viney. He kicks just as well (or is that poorly?) on his left as Jack and he still has his preferred right foot. Jack is prone to injury, and he selfishly brings himself back way too early. I know who i'd trade first out of them 2, but it ain't gonna happen. Bring in Young with pick 3, put him at half back or on a wing and keep Angus in the middle (centre is his position). It's either that or we go after Ben King with pick 3.

Or Trengove & Martin

On that kick alone i am sold on Young. What a weapon! As the Hawks showed during their premiership years, kicking skill conquers all.

I'd say 18 clubs would want his services Troy, don't discount our own

Appears to only be a good player when on the secret sauce!

I'd rather we draft Young over Ash, if Anderson goes @ pick 2 to GC. We lack both pace and foot skills, but when looking at Hunt and Frost, their foot-skills detract from their pace badly. Foot-skills ftw.

I’m not sure about Martin. Has all the tools to be a serious talent, but imo lacks the desire/hunger. Not worth the $ and trade cost

He's probably a bit too extreme for MFC's tastes.

No, i was hoping to hear that same announcement but it didn't eventuate ?

He played one hell of a test match.

Yep, we are bereft of true leadership on and off the field.

Our second rounder, be prepared to walk away if they want more. There's always that Cutler bloke who would cost a lot less.
