After JUH they changed it to 20 Then after the saints got Owens and Windhager it went to 40

Once again, WE DONT HAVE THE LIST SPOTS! this pick was spoken for when we traded for Billings. Funnily enough we gave them a future 3rd and got a F3 back for 42

GWS annoy the heck out of me with how good they are.

Cal’s tipped every pick aside from the trades and Gothard in the first 16. Teams and player managers all leak it

I’d have picked Jimmy Leake. But not upset with Koltyn

GWS 🤝 Me Loving Phoenix Gothard

I’m baffled that in extended highlights from 5 different games there doesn’t seem to be a single clip of Windsor on ball. He’s clearly Eastern’s second best draft prospect and was in first round calculations from mid year. Just seems baffling to have him on a wing the whole time rather than give him the chance to prove his value as a clearance player. Might be a blessing in disguise and his value would’ve only gone up. But it’s confusing coaching.

The thing that stops most teams trading back is other teams coming up and poaching their guy as they move backwards. For instance. GWS want Leake, they know if they trade back with Adelaide it probably goes Curtin, Caddy, O’Sullivan, Leake if teams hold their spots. But if we trade to Ess spot and nab Leake then GWS are stuffed. Given we can’t go more than 5 minutes without signalling our intentions to move up and the need to telegraph trades to sides so they’re ready to deal on the night it makes trading up very difficult.

Or the NFL, or potentially a lot of other leagues. The old format was just reading out names. If you want a similar experience just Google the draft when it’s done. They haven’t nailed the format yet but more time to discuss picks is a good thing.

I’d think long and hard about Charlie Edwards over Tholstrup if we went Watson. Assuming there’s very little difference in their rankings. Darcy Wilson and DeMattia too. But it depends if they think Tholstrup is a midfielder and can add more run and carry in his game.

Been heavily linked to GWS where he’d perfectly suit their game plan and list needs. Im sure we’ve done the recon on where he’d go. Take someone else at 6. Curtin, Caddy, O’Sullivan go 7,8,9. But unfortunately there’s pesky GWS in the middle.

Clarko camped at his house. The Eagles offering a future first. Adelaide and other teams going hard to trade up. But potentially North, Hawks, Dees and Giants passing, and those anonymous statements by recruiters are about as harsh as you get about a top 10 prospect.

Cowboys Chargers SeaHawks Wanted to go Cardinals but I could quite get there

Absolutely. Just more a comment on endurance. At least from what we know by way of 2km time Windsor’s not elite elite. It’s unlikely he’s running with ANB and Langdon in preseason 1. Of course the recruiters get Yo-yo test, GPS and observing game running live to get a far better gauge. I think (if we pick him) they’ll aim to have him in the side playing half forward and taking some 3rd wing minutes when he’s ready to debut. The role Taj had this year when he played. The chase down tackling is an exciting part of his game.

The tank is interesting, both short term but more so long term. If we take him there must be belief he can really run. But you’d rather see a 6 flat 2km time total for a winger than a 6:36. The last pure winger JT took was probably sauce Baker and he took 6+ years to become an afl wing runner. Clearly the hope is Windsor doesn’t take that long. There’s got to be belief he can contribute as a half forward or half back too.

About a dozen times this year she’s got the fumbles or missed simple goals running in to open shots when pressure from behind. She’s 95% there but for a captain there’s another level required. Our star players this year fell short. That’s Hore, Harris, Zanker (pre q4), Hanks (more of a rotation mid), Purcell, Gay. They have to go up a level to match the oppositions stars.

A lot of similarities with the girls end of 23 with the boys 22. Untimely injuries. Poor depth. Game plan figured out. Mucked up the first final. Nearly won the second at the end. But it’s damn hard to back up a flag Not sure it’s similar to the men’s issues this year (which was mostly no forward line and no dash). You lose more finals than you win. Got to analyse why the Brisbane game rattled them and fix the midfield problems but I’m confident the girls will front back up. Need some quality list management tho.

If Loz Pearce could kick she’d be the games best player by a mile. Thought she’d done it with that snap for a second. Great fight back by Zanker. Huge last quarter by Goldy on ball. I really think they’re were shell shocked by Brisbane and took 7 quarters to realise how to get the balance between contest and spread right.

Clear block in the ruck just ignored

Put McNamara in the Birch and Bannan trade.

Kate Hore is a bit soft when there’s pressure on her at ground level, she should’ve ate Emonson in that contest before. Not Banno level soft but room for improvement

He’s so bad. I admire his confidence in becoming a commentator despite the most unpleasant voice this side of Kelly Underwood

Physically or mentally? Looks fine physically but makes so many lazy errors

No tall on the line. Birch not within a mile of Parry. Just a joke

Sammy Zankerman is playing one his classics
