Me thinks both Kemp and Stephens will be top 10, with Weightman top 15. Would need picks 6 and 9, I'd reckon, and no single club currently has picks like that. Not sure we can do that only with 3 anyway. Might need to add our 2020 1st rounder. Back ourselves to improve with the knowledge next year's draft has heaps of academy and f/s in the top 30. Our first pick could end up being pushed back 6-8 places as clubs match bids, but I'm just speculating. Could end up being pick 15 or later. Which club could create 2 x top 10 picks this year, apart from GCS with 1 and 2?

Wrong. He did his left knee twice. He himself has said the first reco when he was a junior was not managed well. We have plenty of defensive options. We should focus on improving our forward stocks.

Yes, but they still have to find the points for him. Is his draft year 2020? Highly unlikely, but with all the academy and f/s nominees next year, some clubs may have to prioritise what they can take and what they might leave behind. All it takes is for a outsider club with an early pick to bid and it could stuff up a raft of planned selections. Other may know how many potential academy/fs Freo have next year, I'm not sure. We could do that this year with pick 3 and Tom Green. Makes GWS pay top price, or we get a bloody good player. Roosy did it by bidding for Mills when we got Clarry (thank christ)

IIRC, Spargo was to be a GWS academy prospect until that zone was removed. I agree that the 20% discount for any academy or f/s should be axed.

You mean like the 2nd rounder we paid for the guy who was AA in red and blue?

I've seen a couple of good games from Ben Long. Is he worth having a crack at as a small forward?

Actually, no we dont. Double gahhhh!

The word 'Ralph' best describes his writing.

Stop stressing about list numbers. We can go in one short or take another during preseason or mid year draft.

What are you like as a small forward?

That would make him like all but 2 or 3 on our list this year. At 27 he can recover his form.

FMD, Essendon want Heaney or Blakey as part of the Daniher trade. For a guy whos spent most of the past 2 years injured with chronic conditions. Dodobird is an [censored] hole. Swans should give him the bird and let the Bombers deal with Joe's disgruntled, huge salary.

@dazzledavey36 has shed some light on his character before. Can't recall which thread

Very good A F

If he's serious about reuniting his AFL career, it would be a good test of our player welfare abilities. He's hired a personal trainer and is apparently very fit. Won't be his body that stops him getting on a list. Do the DD and let's get him!

Exactly. They still have to find the points for academy or f/s nominees, even if it's 20% off.

That guy's a hack. Couldn't mark the ball if it was a balloon.

Really, they need to get the best assistants and FD people in the AFL and run the place properly. Make finals for a number of year and win a flag and good players will stay. Players want 3 things mainly: money, success and mates/culture.

No more a "terrible look" than doping them up on magical high draft picks. What a dogs breakfast.

Can't see them parting with McKay. He and Curnow will be twin towers for 8-10 years. They'd offload Casbolt well before that Edit. would we consider 2019 pick 9 and their future 1st for our 3?

Wish Frosty all the best. Very happy with the outcome for us. What was his contract length with Hawks?

Green looks not dissimilar to Clarry. Bit rough, good size, needs refinement, but good vision and delivery. Probably shows better foot skills
