This is the type of guy Essendon draft. avoid

It would be classic Essendon to take 2 mids and not develop them while the very next pick we take Taylor and he becomes a multiple times all australian star player

I think there is a very real possibility Essendon go the S.A double to try and mitigate go home concerns. I can see them taking Cummings and Sharp. This would leave us with the chance to take Taylor who is the best available but perhaps not something we specifically need.

If we rate him at pick 7 or 8 then what the phantom drafts say is irrelevant. the idea of another pickett in the Melbourne team is pretty exciting, admittedly i know very little about him though

Hard pass

The one positive about all of this is the board and Guerra will live and die by their outcomes. We are in a hole with memberships and attendances and if they don’t improve and improve quickly I don’t think the fan base will be patient in calling for changes to be made and appointments of people who can get results.

It's not outside the question that the Eagles take him at pick 2 behind Duursma. I think my concern is we'd probably have to give up 3 first rounders to even get into the conversation and then it's a lot of pressure on him to deliver.

He reminds me a lot of Archie Roberts.

If we rate Robey, i wonder if the Dons would do 8 and the future first from the Suns to move up a spot if Robey is on the board. It's a big price to pay but if we think he's a difference maker it might be worth a thought.

Unless CDT has been caught doing something really scandalous i would be amazed if he gets past Richmond.

I'm sure all of those conversations are happening internally, it'll depend on how JT rates the players available to us and if there is much interest in picks 7 and 8 when it comes to trading in future first rounders.

I can see king throwing the magnets around a little bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if Salem got a position change. I reckon he could move to half forward

It'll be very interesting to see how it plays out, he's going to get the opportunity though by all reports.

I like him as a mid

I still think Rivers can become A grade

For sure, i think the thing that seems to be really commonly misread relating to the draft in my opinion is the talent in this years pool isn't bad as much as the talent in last years was exceptional. Harvey Langford would have gone very high in a lot of the recent drafts for example

I think that’s pretty accurate though. Everything I’ve heard would suggest Langford would go pick 1 in this draft and Lindsay probably top 2-3

I’m curious how the draft watchers rate Josh Lindsay’s contest work. I love his kicking and decision making but my one question mark is if he’s maybe a little bit soft?

More like Lachy Deeveston

I’m noticing a huge change in how fit the players look virtually. The change certainly seems to have shaken the place up and everyone looks like running power and capacity has been a huge focus. Tom sparrow looks completely different to me already.

Couple of diet cokes and some board games for old claz?

Far out what [censored] news. Thoughts and condolences with the family!

That’s fair enough!

More interesting that Steven king doesn’t seem to be. I mean I’m sure it’s nothing but I’d have imagined he would be

Feels like the poor kid is spiralling a bit. I hope the giants, demons and AFL welfare people And his management step In and help him through this transition
