I really wish we were able to hang to pick 28 as part of the Bombers pick 9 trade. There's plenty of good talent left on the board including Shanahan and Whitlock. On the plus side, cheers Essendon for pick 9 (11)! Xavier Lindsay looks a player!

Armstrong continues to slide. A real surprise considering he was in talks to be our pick 5 about a month ago.

Wow, Richmond have passed on Bo Allen. Surely WC select him with their next pick.

Xavier Lindsay come on down!!!

Noooooooooooo! Tauru to the Saints 😔

Twomey with 9/9 so far. Let's hope that changes with pick 10...

Saints bid on Lombard. The wait for Tauru continues...

Saint fans would be upset I reckon. They are crying out for midfield talent and they've been pipped at the post by the first 7 picks.

Far out, Langford is a big unit!

Harvey's a Dee! Very happy!

As expected, we've bid on Ashcroft.

Adelaide selects Draper. Langford here we come.

Still holding out hope that Tauru slips to our second pick. Otherwise will be thrilled with Langford and either Lindsay/Allan/Berry

I'll be happy with any of Tauru, Allan, Lindsay or Berry at pick 9. I think all of them would slot into our round 1 team.

Sweet! Match turning performance in a GF here we come!

We picked up pace last year with Windsor. No issues if Langford is our first selection.

Poor Spargs had a year from hell with his achilles. I imagine the club will be very cautious in his return to full training.

If we draft Tauru, I think it shows how much optimism the club has that both Petracca and Oliver will both be back to their best next season.

I just watched Allen's highlights and there's some good attributes there. Solid in the air and physically he looks close to AFL ready. I wouldn't be upset if we snag him at pick 9. Hopefully the 'go-home factor' isn't an issue.

I'm bullish on either Petty or Turner eventually replacing May provided Jeffo comes on to fill the forward spot.

They did a great job in highlighting 'the scorching sun' as this is painful to look at.

His best year since '21. He and Windsor will be a formidable wing duo next year.

Hope that SEN phantom draft isn't a sign of things to come Selecting both Smillie and Shanahan would be disappointing if all of Langford, Tauru, Reid and Travaglia are available at picks 5 and 9.

Potentially the most intriguing playing on our list. He has all the tricks and will only get better with another pre-season. I still remember watching his debut live at the 'G at the start of 2023 when he'd seemingly come from nowhere after he had a great pre-season. Straight away you could see that he was a smooth operator. How about the baulk on Libba at 1:17? 👇👇 This year, you could see that his teammates were looking to get the ball in his hands more often when we were exiting 50. He took some great scalps as a small defender as well. He looked a little bit lost when we moved him into the midfield but I think the potential of him playing there is huge.
