Hawks interviewed O'Sullivan this week as well. Sounds like due diligence but not sure it's a solid indication of their plans. Yet.

Speaking of preseason, anyone knows when it starts for us?
-
Interesting that they specifically stated we would strongly consider Caddy at 11, not 6. I doubt he gets that far.

Cal twomey 12 hours before the draft most likely.

Disappointingly meek.

Hanks is an absolute star, would be lost without her today

Few players caught ball watching that quarter, more promising signs in the last 5 minutes but still a bit of kick and hope without much system at the moment. Roos should have converted more and if we kick an early couple it could really smash their confidence. Get it done girls.

Fox sports have done rankings (not a phantom) for picks 26 - 50 and will release 1 - 25 tomorrow night. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/draft/afl-draft-2023-power-rankings-2650-afl-draft-prospects-2023-news-fox-footy-rankings-50-to-26-shaun-mannagh/news-story/9ee29cf2709722c2ae31bb448586cd53

No link with Wilson or O'Sullivan either. Not sure I fully believe it. Beyond the usual names for our first pick he has us as showing interest in Windsor, Tholstrup and Charlie Edwards.

For the McKercher fans

Nice try Mr. C.I.A did Dill put you up to this?

Extended highlights. Massive props to the person that's been putting all these draft videos together. This one is slightly different in that the video is broken down by skillset eg. Marking, contested work etc..

I've somewhat come around to the idea of trading 6 for West Coast's future 1st. We would need to have their 23 come our way as well and we can give them Sydney's f2, though they would likely push for our f1. Perhaps then 11 and 23 can net us pick 8 and we secure who we want anyway and have a top 2 pick for next year. Still think I'd prefer 6 and 11 now though.
Most likely smoke and mirrors. If true, I don't think our recruiting team would be too pleased with a player manager signalling our draft intentions two weeks out.
Not sure this would be a significant block unless we are fighting for the same player. Footy fan speculation I've read suggest the Eagles are keen on McKercher. While I haven't heard anything concrete on us apart from our offer for Reid, we could very well be keen on Duursma. Therefore it wont matter who holds 2 or 3 if the end result is the same. Club targets will probably be well established and known between clubs which may help facilitate or hinder the deal.
Blind Freddy apparently does
Probably not hugely significant, but if be angling for their first pick of the 2nd round, currently 23. This often has good currency with teams often willing to part with future firsts for it as well if a player slides through that they like. We could flip 6 into WC F1 and perhaps another F1, or take 11 and 23 to the draft. Still, my preference is to take the best player available at 6. Only way I'd be angling to stock pile picks into next year is for trade purposes if we have a near certain fish on the hook.
If West Coast are desperate to add a top 6 pick, they will be the ones adding the steak knives.
Maybe there's a three-way scenario involving us, WC and North that results in us giving up pick 6 but receiving pick 3 from North, with North receiving WC's future 1st. Other factors would need to be involved obviously.
Think someone posted this a while ago but could be very apt for this situation.
