If you watch Jeff White's Dees MELBOURNE'S NO.1 focus on his X you can see why we are after Nairn. He coverts goals, marks inside 50, get ball inside 50.

Its a boost for us the GC has probably the hardest draw next season.

JT hinted we will not be picking a small forward at 7/8 - 11/12 after FS/Academy. Said a few available in draft so i guess that will be considered with 37 plus we have Prasad next year. JT said the work has been done and pretty well ready. So rankings set. I am thinking Nairn and Farrow if available. Otherwise Nairn and ??

Nairn and Farrow is looking good for us if both available. We have Prasad coming in next season as a small forward (if he continues to improve). So maybe not a small clever forward on the menu for picks 7/8?

The AFL have added Nairn to that list of invitees first draft night. So the AFL/recruiters rate him highly.

I think they call them Rankings now and Phantom drafts just before the actual draft when all the 'intel' is in so they dont look like they completely knackered it up.

Rookie me listed strengths and weaknesses for Nairn. Kicking top of strengths. " Nairn offers a unique makeup in the medium forward role, capable of playing above his height but also covering serious ground and possessing slick foot skills" " Most importantly, he impacts the scoreboard" " Nairn is a precise field kick and can hit targets heading inside 50 on his favoured left side." Cameron Nairn Draft Profile - Aussie Rules Rookie Me Central (formerly AFL Draft Central) STRENGTHS: + Kicking + Leading patterns + Overhead marking + Running capacity + Scoreboard impact + Versatility IMPROVEMENTS: - Consistency - Ground balls

In Gettable Twomey said Dees looking at Nairn at one of their picks. Taking into account FS/Academy/WC we have picks 11 and 12. Twomey seemed comfortable with Nairn.

Nairn and Farrow or Dovestan. If we think we may have a shot at Pickett via pick trades then Farrow for sure. As they say - the time is now. If we want Pickett go for it.

Cameron Nairn Draft Profile - Aussie Rules Rookie Me Central (formerly AFL Draft Central) Medium forward who may play wing/mid. Strong over head. With Melks and McAdam maybe in least season for 2026, ANB off a year ago and Fritter? out of contract? Probably a medium forward with a big tank and marking ability would be preffered if ranked around there. Only been in the State system one year so plenty of development in him. Look good. Recruiter and the Phantom pickers do not always agree. STRENGTHS: + Kicking + Leading patterns + Overhead marking + Running capacity + Scoreboard impact + Versatility IMPROVEMENTS: - Consistency - Ground balls

The AFL would never dare to tango with us. Oh, i dont believe i just said that.

Anyone for Sam Swadling: Sam Swadling (West Perth)Fellow Falcon Swadling put his name on the map earlier this season when he amassed 187 disposals in a five-game WAFL Colts stretch heading into the National Championships. The 187cm midfielder spent most of last season playing as a forward in an older West Perth side and he booted 15 goals from 16 games. Upon elevation to a full-time midfield role this season he established himself as the competition’s best ball winner, and he took prolific talent into the State Championships where he, along with teammate Farrow, earned AFL U18 All-Australian honours for his performances across the carnival. Just like Farrow, he was also awarded a WAFL League debut by West Perth against the Eagles in round 14 and he then won 45 disposals across the next two weeks against East Perth and Subiaco, proving he could find plenty of the ball at all levels. Swaddling and Farrow will return to the Falcons’ Colts side for the last round of the season ahead of an all-important clash with East Fremantle that they likely need to win if they are to feature in finals football.

The rumors have usually started by now. Bit late this season and its terribly hard to deal with - withdrawals. Seriously the AFL should make rumors compulsory.

Our forward line has been our Achilles heel. Despite premeirship mids delivering we could not get it right. Missing - One big KFP ala BBB. Kosi will go into the mid after as 'clean out' so a speedy pressure forward is needed. Could create havoc when Kosi drifts forward. Where do we get the big BBB type KPF? Do we already have one? Has the game passed big KFP's by - doubt it. Depending on how we rate our current young KPFs and Schubert he may well be seriously considered especially if part of the forward revamp includes sending Petty back. Melks probably last year and Fritter may get some hard to match offers.

Not sure on the selection here. Depends how we rate our existing young KPFs and how we rate him. The 5 person interchange gives us an extra forward ruck him and JVR as a 2nd ruck. Now listed as 198cm may grows a tad more. Depends to some extent whether King wants a fresh forward look. Kosi mainly mid dropping forward, Dovestan to move into a forward role. Petty to go back and maybe Schubert to play that extra tall crash agile KPF/ruck? Has all the right plusses except rookie me suggest composure needs improvement. In the end it will probably be where we rate him in the draft and how we rate our up and comer KPF's. We have 2, 1st rounders next year. It also depends to some smaller extent what is available 1st round next year. With outrageous money being paid to bring a good player in probably best not to pinch a proven KPF/ruck from another club. No way we could afford to pay a De Koning type salary. I am not ruling him out.
