Random Task

Have read good things about Mellody but haven't seen any vision myself. Will keep an eye out.

Think this has been posted before but a good clip of him taking a nice mark and converting before embracing teammates, including our own ricky mentha. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_ZzdfovObC/

We could pinch Conor Stone from GWS if we rate him. Wonder if there's some unwritten rule of not touching other clubs players they intend to re-list.

Based off this years final ladder positions we currently have picks; 5, 13 (GC), 48 (GWS) 2 names that I like at this early stage are Jack Pickett (key fwd) from the Falcons and Will Malady (3rd tall fwd) from the Power.

If he kicks on next year Prasad will shape up to be our 3rd small forward drafted in 2 years. Fingers crossed he will land in the 2nd round so our two firsts can remain untouched.

At a guess.. #4 Langford #5 Lindsay #9 Steele #13 Culley #14 CJ #19 Matthews #20 Taylor #27 Heath #33 LSP #34 White #41 Mihocek

New highlights video

He'll be automatically listed as a rookie tomorrow. He's gonna be a 4+ year project and even then there's no guarantees he makes it. Has enough upside to see if he does. Perfect use of a rookie spot.

This kid wouldn't be a surprise or secret to any club. Good recruiters will be across literally 1000's of kids through the major talent pathways. Tom was captain of gippsland and made the vic country squad before injury. I saw him last year at la trobe put on some showreel stuff and looked a cut above most kids in their draft year. Even took a few centre bounces. I'm super excited he's on board.

Kids good. Be happy people. We have an excellent group of talented small forwards now.

Tom matthews, called this out last week. Talented small forward that missed lots of footy with a pcl injury. Kid has speed and can take a high mark.

Gold Coast double up games: Geelong , Brisbane, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Giants and Melbourne

Allen for me. Emmett or Ludowyke if we go tall.

Phillipou, Emmett, Thredgold, Byrne, Allen, King, Heatherton, Williams, Matthews, LeRay, Swaddling, Rodriguez, Ainsworth, Dalton, Whan, BOB, Onley, Holmes, Coulson, Kickett, Kondogianis, Walley, So probably none of these and some obscure vfl player

Looks like the GC death ride remains intact .. all hail the death ride

What time do the picks start dropping tonight? 7.00 or 7.30?

Surely bombers would just take Taylor and Robey then be happy with whichever one of Farrow or Sharp is available?

Random Tasks totally believable top 9 phantom draft (sans academy players) West Coast: Duursma West Coast: CDT Boring, everyone know what's happening here. Or do they?? *Suspenseful music intensifies... Richmond: Cumming Richmond: Sharp Richmond round out there midfield to complement their draft haul from last year that was more diverse. Taking two SA boys should mitigate the go home factor to a degree. For the purpose of this statement, I have redrawn the Victorian/SA border. Essendon: Nairn Essendon: Farrow After a moment of self realisation, the bombers finally worked out that they are terrible at drafting and have no idea what they're doing. This has resorted to the bombers recruiting team to spy on Jason Taylor and copy his work. Melbourne: Robey Melbourne: X. Taylor What? This is totally believable. Essendon: Adam Sweid After acquiring the next pick from the blues, the bombers team quickly realise they didn't look past Melbourne's 2 picks to see who we had ranked next. In a state of panic, they select their own academy member without a bid because that was the only name they could remember. Fin.

I would assume we would pair Taylor with Nairn.

Late mail to come tomorrow sometime allegedly.

From cals phantom draft. "The bulk of Melbourne's work will again be done early, with the Demons' back-to-back first-round picks coming from the Christian Petracca trade to Gold Coast. They are likely to use a third selection, with their pick in the 30s expected to slightly come in on the second draft night. If small forward Latrelle Pickett is available he would be expected to be snapped up, but he is set to be gone by then. Other plays they have looked at include small forward Talor Byrne and goalkicker Oskar Ainsworth, while Tai Hayes is also another they have done their work on. If Adam Sweid is still on the board at their third pick they could be a potential bidder. Kalani White has been nominated as a father-son and is likely to get through to the rookie draft. The Demons haven't nominated Next Generation Academy prospect Toby Sinnema, with the Dandenong Stingray a chance to be a train-on option after the draft if not selected."

I'm at work so haven't been able to watch, anything interesting in this video? Latest draft whispers as pick swaps loom https://www.afl.com.au/video/1453732

They mentioned his phantom will drop tomorrow and that he'll post a revised late mail version on Tuesday.

Twomeys last article linked him with us which is why I put him as a suggestion for our last pick. You might even note I placed a ? next to his name.

Farrow or Sharp? Edit: just realised that the slide may not even be related to Hawthorn. Could be any club in the middle of the first round. Edit 2: West Coast could be very keen to get up from 13 to 8 to take Farrow if available. 8 for 13 and future 2nd?
