Would Carlton do Pick 1 for McGovern and Adelaide's Pick 7, or whatever it is?

✔️✔️✔️

I suspect Sydney wouldn't release him unless he was shot. If we managed to come up with pick 12-18 somehow, I'd rather use it in the draft or on someone else. By Round 24, Hannebury may demonstrate his value as more around 58 (if he can actually get back on the park). Would be keen to hear from someone with groin/calf insight - @Webber

Yep and looks like Mum still cuts his hair.

It's actually dead easy and I've done it many times. You drive up to the underground carpark next to the shop. You tell the dude on the gate that you want to go to the Demon Shop and he says 'No worries, park right here.' .

A caller on SEN rang in and said he'd watched Austin play Under 12s, U13s and U14s and said he was as good as the Kings. Whopping grain of salt alert, but.....sounds pretty exciting!

From The AFL website: McGovern has put talks on hold, probably until season's end, while Gaff is reportedly being targeted by five Melbourne clubs.

Sounds all plausible. It could also be just a case of McCartney being more suited to arresting the possibility of players throwing in the towel again at ground level. Appreciate your feedback and anything further that may arise. Cheers

Would be interested in the views of @Leoncelli_36 on this matter

Or accused of splitting red hairs

I think Ginger Rogers (aka Tina Louise) with that mop:

Just butting in here - I would, but only because of the forward option. If he was a pure ruck, I'd pass (also on Coleman-Jones). I could see us taking a Ballard or Brander if either happened to slide (unlikely) but no other KPPs. The rest will be players who are either mids or capable of running through the middle. If they don't love a contest, they wont get picked, no matter how much run they might provide. I think they'll look for a small forward (which i include in the capable of running through the middle brigade). I doubt we'd pick up more than one player under 180cms. I could see us getting Spargo if medically cleared and I'm definitely expecting at least one from the clouds. Some of the players predicted to go in the 30's around our picks I don't think we'd take - eg Houlahan. Also wanting to put it on record how wrong I expect to be, as Taylor has so far surprised with each draft and isn't afraid of high risk, high reward picks. I'll take a stab at the four picks shortly just to prove it.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but here's Brett Anderson's SEN Mock Draft: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2017/11/20/brett-andersons-2017-afl-mock-draft/ Interesting he has us taking Oscar Baker. I'm expecting some left field picks from Taylor as has been the case in the past.

Port still have 5 or 6 picks after pick 45 for this year's draft. It makes some sort of sense that they've picked up all these FAs and DFAs rather than take more picks in the hundreds. What doesn't make sense is how they found themselves in this situation in the first place. And gee, another year for the Toump

It looks like we've spoken to him so I would be interested to hear from track watchers @ChaserJ or anyone? Is he a possibility to add to our midfield depth at 47? There's a bit of speculation on BF that St Kilda want both Andrew and Hamish.

Love the bloke and hope like anything he gets a good run at it. He deserves every success. Don't care who he plays for, I'll cheer him on regardless (maybe not against us). Go you good thing JT

Howe also struggled to take a chest mark without face planting - odd combo

I'm thinking Tex Walker probably was too

Same old story - posturing. Adelaide demand 2 first picks and declare they want to deal with Pies (or whoever). Lever's manager insists Melbourne. Deal gets done for first and second picks early if Adelaide need the picks for another trade, or they act like tossers (Essendon style) and hold out to the last minute of trade week, or AFL 'mediators' step in and tell them the deal's fair and grow TF up. PS. Don't usually pay much notice of what Lloydy says but he said this morning that 10 and 27 seemed fair.

I'm going to insert that into the RM dictionary (Volume 3) of useful and amusing words. Thanks Nasher

Hope it's not Motslop

Nudge/Chilli Boy was a ripper and clearly went for quantity over quality. I was always saddened when he would disappear after about 5 minutes of posting gems when someone annoying would call him out and he'd vanish in a huff.

Quite possibly, but I'm happy to run with it until he/she gets blown out of the water and in the absence of Nudge / CB. Not much else on offer eh

That'll be the case with Kelly. Everybody wrongly assumes he goes to North because of the monstrous, offer only to be pipped at the post by the Dees, with Kelly deciding, he wants to play with his mates at MFC (for less). Dreaming? Absolutely

Agreed - Kelly! But, on a slightly more realistic note - yes Whitfield would make a huge difference and might be more gettable
