Agree. Crows in line to get Draper and he’s a future star. Crows 1st pick would be off limits imv anyway I think we need to keep Petty. Premiership defender. Can play forward or back. Reset his confidence and he’s a star.

He will be an interesting one to watch. Showed glimpses in the championships amongst tough opponents. Expect late draft pick or rookie in my view.

WA wrap up A weaker WA under 18 squad this year. I think only 3-4 youngsters will get drafted in the main draft , perhaps with a few through the rookie draft where identified. ⭐️Bo Allan. I only saw him in the game v He just has a footy IQ to get the right space and position. Good skills and size for a midfielder. His energy and transition running will see him strongly considered. Expect him to go pick 19-22 as early 2nd round pick 👏Luke Urquart. Big blonde bulldozer of a midfielder. Like a Cripps type, he goes into the contest and wins the footy. Skills were okay but let him down on occasion. He should be drafted but likely will be a pick in the 40s. ✅Malakai Champion. He’s exciting no doubt. But I was expecting more and he’s not a top 50 player for me. Late draft or rookie chances. ✅Cody Angove. Project type. Exciting runner and pace on the footy. Likely late draft pick as his skill is up to AFL quality which gives him a chance. Could a side take a chance

This draft is very strong and I’d like to see the Dees find room for 4 or even perhaps 5 draft picks this year. … @Whispering_Jack Langford is definitely a player that would be on JTs list. There is a lot of quality midfielders going down to picks in the second round and even early third round. I’ll look to do a top 50 by next weekend. I’d even by open to trade our 2025 1st round to get another 2024 first round pick. I’d call the GC suns to discuss.

Yes he didn’t star but did what was needed. Improvement still to be seen and he has a key role over the next 6 games.

Many many vote getters this week 6 Rivers 5 Langdon 4 McVee 3 May 2 Kozzzzy❤️❤️ 1 Windsor also 👏👏👏👏Melksham , JVR, Fritsch, ANB, Clarry and Disco

Last 2 seasons trade recruits Grundy - traded to Swans after one year Almost All Australian ruckman for 2024 Hunter, Schache, Billings, Fullarton, McAdam - all playing at Casey Hunter and Schache will be delisted in my view.

Gawn. Petracca. Spargo injured. JS29 suspension Gus Brayshaw medical retirement

F: L. Kentfield (44), B. Brown (50), M. Jefferson (21) land of the giants !! Noah Yze in … 👏👏👏 Must win game !!!

Fullarton might get a game if all of the following happens 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gawn out injured JVR out injured Petty out injured Tmcd out injured and if he buys Goody a coffee or red wine at the next opportunity!!!

With the Grundy experiment quickly ended, MFC sought out a second ruck option and Tom Fullarton was traded in to assist Gawn. Now not even playing at all with Gawn out injured for 3 weeks !!! wtf

Yes a good listing, though I’m a buyer if these players are available at those picks 10-Jagga Smith… I rate him top 5 14- Christian Moraes… rate him pick 7-8 31 - Xavier Lindsay… rate him pick 15-17 36- Zak Johnson… rate him pick 19-20 41- Kade Herbert… rate him pick 25-28 thats good buying

I think if he can recover and look to 2025, Spargo should be looked at as a midfielder option for next year. We have plenty of small forwards. I’d try him as a rotating midfielder. That was where he played as a junior. With an absence of midfield depth, he might focus on building himself into a genuine rover type.

Two of our best players are out, with the next 3 weeks being a massive challenge.

Lots of hits and misses. Perhaps the lack of drafting the next level of midfielder and getting too many small forwards is a current issue. 2024 we must get mids.

Gawn out for three weeks keep calm and carry on

Agreed. Missing the guys like Harmes, Dunstan, Munro who all won the tough contested footy. Unfortunately Hustwaite also now missing for 10 weeks

Likely still a rookie draft pick. Hes got some talent but looking at how he fits into an AFL position. Tall half forward possibly to start.

Moners!!! 👏👏👏👏another very good game

6 Rivers 5 JVR 4 Windsor 3 Langdon 2 TMCD 1 ANB

Agreed. Bowey and Sparrow (and Chandler) are underperforming. Need a wake up call !!!

Jefferson. Yes good development and with a big preseason, could start in round 1 2025. Adams. Development has stalled. I’m not sure he’s the future KPB that we might have after May retires in a few years. Few Casey players are okay but not the addition to the MFC squad. Loss of Hustwaite and Connolly has robbed Casey of their depth. Surely they delist Hunter and Schache. McAdam is VFL standard. Not worth a promotion. Hore was clearly our best player and is a worth promoting if we have a place available. Lack of quality young mids is OBVIOUS!!! Get Deven Robertson. He’s good enough for AFL senior teams.

SA is now finished. Wrap up as … Father sons- Tyler Welsh (Crows), Ben Camporeale, Lucas Camporeale (blues) Port Adelaide NGA products – Benny Barrett from South Adelaide and North Adelaide’s Louie Montgomery. Both could go top 40 or be available for Port ⭐️Sid Draper - star midfielder. Captain and top 5 draft pick 👏Kade Herbert - impressed in 2023 as an underager. Showed this year he is strong in the contest and can also play outside with good delivery and run in his legs. Some draft posters see him as a 35-45 pick. I’d have him around 24th/25th pick. ✅ Phoenix Hargrave - mid/half forward. Likely top 35-40 pick ✅ Charlie Nicholls - 197cm key forward . Excellent mark Likely pick 45-50 ✅Ned Bowman - half fwd skilled creative goalkicker. Likely late draft pick, perhaps 50-55. ✅Jett Hasting - SA mid/half back runner SA-eagles - likely late pick or rookie. I like his run and dash and style Type of player that has AFL qualities in my view (like McVee from 2021)

Any chance Fullarton comes in as a late change. Fullarton and Tomlinson are both holdover emergencies for tomorrow.

Agreed. Retschko is definitely a draft chance
