Draft Watch
My wants this draft
Selection 8
Any of
O’Sullivan, Smith, Reid, Draper, O’Sullivan, Smillie, Langford.
Cannot lose with any of that group - all lay claims to being the best player of that draft class
Do not want at that selection
Trainor - in fact - any tall
Most probable
Reid or Lalor
Selection 9 (if we get that)
Again, who ever is left from this group
Would also consider Trainor if all of that group is taken and we got a quality mid in
Selection 19
Cooper Hynes - plays like Mitch Owens
This kid I know well, have done since he was 14. Always been an absolute jet.
If Trainor Slides would seriously think about him here
Selection 24
Christian Moraes - plays like Caleb Windsor
Outside mid with pace and finds the ball
Other option - a tall (one of the Whitlocks)
Selection 43 (trade)
Next Selection
Adrian Cole (match bid) - tall defender
Last selection/Rookie
Elwood Peckett
Great mates with Cooper Hynes - is a project play
HF/Mid

Where do these extra picks come from?
We have 7, 24, 43...before adjustments.
Im assuming we get end of round 1 /R2 early compo... but Pick 19? For what?

Re: Draft Watch
We need to delist 1 or 2 more to open up space
We will get either pick 9 or pick 19 as compensation for Battle - not both obviously

Re: Draft Watch
If we are looking at LDU as a free agent next year, I'd be up for trying to get our hands on Gold Coast pick 12 for our F1.
Take 4 kids inside top 30.
Reid at 8
Smilie at 9
Looks like a chance.

Re: Draft Watch
I like that idea, get #12 for next years first round pick and load up, assuming it is doable with GCS.Banger9798 wrote: ↑Wed 02 Oct 2024 10:19am If we are looking at LDU as a free agent next year, I'd be up for trying to get our hands on Gold Coast pick 12 for our F1.

#8, #9 & #12 would be nice.

Re: Draft Watch
Space for who?
Already gone:
Battle
Allison
Van Es
that's 3 picks in the national draft sorted
Ross
Campbell
Bonner
That's a 4th round pick, a rookie elevation/pick, and a PSD/SSP pick.
We will only need to delist more if we're trading out picks for players.

Obviously CURLY knows something and he's come up with a conclusion

He's very introverted and his performance fluctuates as a result.

Re: Draft Watch
Haven't seen all those guys play, but one I did like was Jack Whitlock, moves well, good hands, good size, decent kick looks like he could be a very good player at both ends of the ground.B.M wrote: ↑Tue 01 Oct 2024 6:47pm My wants this draft

Cole didn't impress me much, lacks physicality, I'd say rookie pick at best.

Re: Draft Watch
Trainor concussion issues
I'd be looking at Lindsay - is a good decision maker and has a lethal kick also loves to get stuck in (tough) and has speed & agility (athletic ability)
Won the Morrish and was BOG in the Vic Metro v Country match
Not sure what the knock on him is

Re: Draft Watch
Lindsay could slot into the half back flank role pretty smoothly in his first couple of years
Good replacement for Jimmy Webster and should be able to transition into the midfield as his body grows.
I like him

Re: Draft Watch
Looks like a natural winger.
Lindsay and Wilson on the wings.
Assuming Lindsay slides to #25
