  1. Not for me. Valente likely for Crows at 16 or 21. McHenry is like a Spargo. Energy but light frame. Small. Goalkicking is average. I think at 23 and 28 there are better midfielders for us (O’Halloran ,Mckenzie ,Ely.Smith , Duursma) We also can get Bedford who fits the small pacy forward with tackling pressure.
  2. Jordan Clark will probably get picked by Eagles at pick 20 or 22. He fits right there and is in the right mould for the Eagles.
  3. Fact. 12 off the top 40 picks are Victorian based teams. 28 picks are for the interstate teams. A lot of very nervous Victorian kids and parents at the draft. Dees two picks at 23 and 28 offers them hope.
  4. Sturt reminds me of a young Jack Gunston. Plays taller than his height and is a smooth mover like Fritsch. Definitely a chance at pick 23.
  5. Any delisted free agents being considered? Mav Weller? Perhaps he supports midfield depth.
  6. 36 on list now. Maybe grab a delisted free agent (Mav Weller?) Picks 23,28, 54,62,91. I think we will use all 5. #23,#28 - any of Xavier O’Halloran, Ely Smith, Xavier Duursma, Tom McKenzie or Sydney Stack #54 likely on Toby Bedford # 62 on Vfl mature type likely Marty Hore, Jay Lockhart or Corey Wagner #91 is a complete punt Keilty will be a rookie upgrade. Gives us 2 rookie spots to fill on needs. Tall forward for depth in case of Weideman or Tmcd going down.
  7. Mav Weller anyone? I know delisted from Saints who finished 16th but he is a tough competitor proven at the level. Even if we give him a 1- year deal to provide depth and cover across the year. Now Tyson is gone, depth is to be considered. It might also help out and protect the Casey mids development (we will probably add 3-4 young 18 year old draftees).
  8. Welcome to the real AFL. Suns are a disgrace.
  9. Yes Peter Bell wins. Mahoney caved but knew Jesse wanted to go home. We all move on.
  10. 384 pages. Wow. Longest thread on a single topic??
  11. Omg 378 pages
  12. Pakistan 5/77. Lyon 4/16. 4 wickets in 6 balls
  13. B grade journalists claiming they called it FFS
  14. Bazinga make the call

    GWS is seriously screwed up
  16. I hate Hawthorn i hate S$$$$$cully perfect match future 2019 4th round pick wow GWS must have really hated him i want Callan Ward for a future 3rd Round pick
  17. Scrimshaw was virtually delisted
  18. Pick 5 for Hogan no [censored] way !!!!!!!!!!!
  19. Agree 100%. That’s the price they should pay. He’s only 23 and is a chf/full forward.
  20. We got our Giants sell off earlier. Tyson Bugg Frost Mckenna. Frost is the only survivor.

    Absolutely. Best forward outside the AFL. Would need a 2-year contract to make the Nullarbor crossing.
  22. Peter Bell is trying to wrangle a tea and biscuits deal for someone they are trying to offer 8 year contract on. Tell him it’s 2x first rounders (pick 5 and Freo 2019 1st pick if that’s the offer)
  23. That draft would be ideal. Very good choices IMO. Mckenzie, Stack, Ayton-Delaney and Bedford all have pace. Real pace. Our outside run ā€œdevelopmentā€ would be addressed. Munn is a very good young forward and needs 2-3,years more development. At pick 62, definitely we would have to seriously consider. I like either Lockhart, Bewley, Hore or Hind as potential rookies. Hind again is the pace and break the line style of player. At 23, he could be in the selection mix early. I think we wouldn’t be disappointed with Hind as a rookie.
