Random Task

Wasn't a big fan of the move so I'm happy with that.

Say we end up doing the trade, that would leave us with 5, 15, 45 and 61. 45 for Daniel? Or perhaps future 3rd? 61 for Derksen?

I've been impressed with Davis as well. Doubt he would be interested in giving up his media gig, but I would love for him to be involved at the club. Whether it be in a coaching capacity, leadership role or player management/welfare position.

They'll have to find a trading partner willing to put up more than we are. Could be a few clubs willing to do that but impossible to predict prior to the trade/pick swap period. Richmond could be the trouble maker and trump us like the doggies did last year. If Richmond lose Graham they could end up with pick 21 and 22. They also have pick 29 as well. 21 and 22 = 1723 Or 21 and 29= 1531 Both already higher than our alleged offer without later junk picks thrown in.

Early days yet and sure whispers will stay filtering through about which clubs like who. But this is a genuinely fascinating draft in how even the first round appears to be. I wouldn't be surprised if some names really elevate themselves into the top 10 or even top 5 that haven't been discussed too much. Armstrong is the one to watch I reckon, could easily see him go top 3. When the trade period is done I'll attempt to do a phantom.

Can cross a line through Angwin, re-signed for two years recently.

How about Perts 2-in-1 Centre?

Damn, I've been demonstoned.

Fair point, but still maintain that he won't command high compensation given he's a player in the back half of his career and been given permission to chase better opportunities (inside mid or otherwise) next year.

We've been linked to him numerous times this year it seems, probably has legs.

If he's been told to go elsewhere and not part of their best 22 plans then they surely can't expect a 2nd round pick, no matter how late it is. Bulldogs 3rd at pick 50 should do if we were interested.

Toby Bedford and Andy Moniz-Wakefield are both graduates from our NGA program.

Guess we can expect to find out the intentions of a few GWS players this week.

Zorko, Daniher and Ainsworth get a win. You hate to see it.

Ew

Couldn't be happier with how this is unfolding.

Waterman most likely.

He turned 27 four months ago, not sure why everyone thinks he's 29. He won't be 29 until 2026.

Not sure if serious but trac would have to sit out the year and then enter the draft in 2025 if he went down this route.

He's a big inside mid with average athleticism at best. Can kick though.

It's such an interesting draft with no clear order. Despite everyone talking about the mids I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Armstrong goes in the 1 - 5 range.

Pick 25 is reasonable for ANB and gets us a good piece for this draft. What's done is done with McAdam.
