To be totally honest Ahern interests me a little more than Brayshaw, wouldn't be upset if we pull the trigger possibly a little early on him. what draft range to people see Wigg going? would our second rounder be in the frame?

He was, commented that he felt Luke Hodge at the time was a far more complete player, but reckons Gary Ablett Jr is currently the best player of all time

I'm not sure on that one mate, I think there is a huge possibility they're going to back themselves to keep him regardless of what we offer, but if we offer a really good deal like that there is an outside chance they will at least look at it, anxiety over losing players for nothing will become much more potent a weapon in this sort of situation once the compo is scrapped altogether and it becomes a prospect of getting nothing for a star player.

I found it to be a strange comment on his part, surely McCartin the likely number 1 pick has been more impressive than Goddard, a bloke who will possibly slide outside the top 15

Sorry Pennant, are you referring to Durdin or Goddard?

If we were to look to replace Chip via the draft Durdin would be the obvious choice for mine did anyone else on here watch on the couch this week? Michael Turner saying Hugh Goddard is on par with Luke Hodge as the best two prospects to come out of the Geelong Falcons in his opinion, could very easily prove to be a bargain pick, was rated top 5 besides his poor champs

I Reckon that's a good idea, the top of the draft doesn't inspire me any more than the teens, the trade you suggested to the suns I think would be a huge win for both parties, if we could get that done with the frawley compo and add perhaps Corey Ellis and Lachie Weller, a couple of players who I think will be solid B+ for 200 games, Ellis has a really good left foot and can create off half back, Lachie has a really good turn of pace, but is also more than capable of winning the inside ball, the beauty of the paul roos game plan is every pick doesn't have to be a superstar, the player just have to be able to play a consistant role for the team

I rate Treloar higher than Shiel personally, if it came to a choice, i'd happily take both

Phil Hughes is a bit of a flop isn't he

Even Wright and mccartin haven't been convincing in my opinion, They will probably be decent players but compared to the last couple of years it seems a pretty weak draft, maybe the real gems are down abit lower, Corey Ellis, De goey, ahern, Weller they all look solid prospects, perhaps the Dom Tyson type deal could prove a huge winner this year

agree on Mitchell, I find the boyd comparison interesting, I consider him to be ultra consistant but not someone who is going to be damaging, just an honest ball winner, I see Brayshaw as a little bit better than that, I think his kicking can be damaging, I found his national champs extremely disappointing compared to his lead up to them, perhaps he didn't handle the step up in quality very well, which could be a concern it's a pick I have no issue with trading, i'd rate Dylan Shiel a long way above Brayshaw to be totally honest, Petracca is the mid from the draft that really interests me, I reckon you have it bang on with Dustin Martin there, I reckon he will have bursts of brilliance but I don't rate his tank, I think he could fade in and out of games a little unless he can improve that.

Just did, for the record, brayshaws disposal is rated A+ on both sides, which is his biggest weapon, hence the Sam Mitchell comparison from end

I'm about the same od if it means getting danger to the club, obviously Adelaide would have to be certain he was going to walk for nothing next year to even consider it

Dee luded we need to offer Dangerfield massive dollars to get his attention, and they'd want pick 2 and a player imo Would we give up pick2 and watts or Howe for danger?

So would you like to offer them? Or prefer just being a [censored]?

Why's that machsy? any better comparisons you can offer?

Brayshaw is your Sam Mitchell Petracca is your Nat Fyfe

Pick 4 to the suns for 11&15 Pick 3 & 11 for shiel and orourke Pick 15 for Tom Mitchell Pick 22 for tommlinson New midfield and versatile hardworking tall

Brayshaw has genuine toughness, is surprisingly quick and has elite skills on both feet, he and Petracca would be a great combo for us

I reckon we need some big signings, we have huge cap room, and trade assets

Look if you're offering i'd probably take Parker and Prestia for those picks haha.

I think saints will finish last but we might well be 17th

Young Russel seems to be a pretty solid player, could play a lot of different positions but probably doesn't have the talent to stay in their side long term when he is competing with 22 blokes who could all be superstars i'd take him off their hands instead of the second rounder.

I really like this idea! If I was Roos, I'd be talking to Gold Coast about trading picks 4 and 24 for picks 11, 15 & 31. I'm sure GCS would like to move up in the draft and consolidate their talent, especially having to trim their list further as it shrinks, while we still need to bring in weight of numbers. Of course, this is all Gold Coast would be a good fit for a icing on the cake type player like Pickett trade 11 for Jake Carlisle trade 15 for Mitchell suddenly a compo pick has seen us replace Chip with a better defender, and add a really good midfield prospect to the list i'd probably then use pick 3 on Petracca knowing Trengove and Hogan will come back in and basically be like new players as well

Again I say, Dom Tyson and Jack Viney, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Christian Salem, Dean Kent, Tom Mcdonald are all under 21 and making a difference Nominations are irrelevant imo, we don't need those to tell us our young list is on the improve
