2 - use it to hopefully draft Will Phillips
If we can't bring in one of those A grade mids and we're confident Phillips won't fall to #7, then we look to downgrade it but only if we can trade them both for gun players. Something I suggested earlier was #13 for Hunter and #16 for Saad...
...U18 talent with mature bodies.
I hope they seriously re-think the draft strategy, particularly if they think they can target Wil Philips with #7, whether directly or by trade. I don't rate the talls either, but there are some midfield and medium gems in the mix in that top 30.
I mean...
...has taken picks #13 and #19 as top twenty draft picks total in the last seven years (Since Cripps was drafted)?
Compared to Fremantle which has used: #2, #5, #7, #8, #8, #9, #13, #17 and #17
You're making my point for me. Hawthorn has not had the high picks injected into their side like we...
...good, but maybe Geelong & Brisbane don't want to head down that path. What then?
I guess Essendon would offer Saad and their second for our #7, but I just don't think we'd want to do that this year and hen just how we can manufacture some clever manoeuvring via the draft.
Maybe there will be...
...an impact in big games and brings some flag success with him too.
No wonder Richmond didn't want to let him go...
As for Dodo wanting pick #7, Saad is OOC... he can demand all he wants, he will settle for a reasonable deal or they will risk losing him for nothing. That happens and he can...
In #3 he is next to Darcy #4 and Cerra #5 in the locker room with Fyfe #7, Brayshaw #8, Acres #9, Walters #10, Aish #11 (so pretty much the entire starting midfield) with Logue #2 and Hogan #1 on the other side.
In #22 he is going to have two new teammates next to him in #23 and #24 with...
We have pick #7, not #77 :)
Yes, exposed form counts for quite a bit and it hasn't hurt McDonald this year either, but it's still not out of the question that DGB may be there a around #7
I'm somewhat out of the loop this year (as most of us would be) but a McDonald, Hollands, Phillips...
...at the real pointy end of the draft with Weitering being the exception.
I didn't (and still don't) think we'll go to the draft holding the pick #7, but it may yet pan out that way and if we did DGB would be a great get for us.
I just can't get into the pure mids this year....for us. Hollands...
If Pearce #1, Miles #2, Harbrow #5, Brodie #7, Fiorini #8 are on the verge of leaving. Can we get some guns to replace them, Gotta have your best players in the lower numbers
The state of play.
If we lose 36 to 60 - we will drop below Carlton on the ladder to hold pick #7, which will drop back to #11.
If we win we will go above GWS which will mean pick #9, which will drop to #14
It's important to remember that we will also have the compensation picks for Corr...
...spot for now as this is his sole target and he looks cherry ripe but has a couple of solid contenders breathing down his neck
2 - TIGER MOTH (LW #7, $28) - always looked the best profile of the NH 3yos but hard heard nothing about him coming. Dominant win on the weekend should get him a...
Will be interesting to see if Phillips could potentially get to the Melbourne pick.
Interesting Twomey is inferring he thinks he's back end of the top 10 rather than the pointy end.
If we manage to get a pick as low as #7, we might be right in the game.
How does that work when he was taken the pick before Hunter?
Even if he was available at #7, I don’t think many would take him ahead of Hunter or Coff.

They lost in 2016, won in 2018. Depends on if you include trades and if you just mean the team on the grand final or include those in the squad who weren't available due to injury/suspension.
Kennedy went #4 in 2005, was part of the Judd trade.
Masten went #3 in 2007
Gaff went #4 in 2010...
...There are effectively three rules we have to follow:
We have to use 2 first round picks in any rolling 4 year period (2017- #2 & #5, 2018- #17, 2019- #7, #8, #9)
--- So we have used 6 in the last 4 years, we don't need to take a first round pick to the draft until 2023 but we will need two...
With all due respect, players taken at pick #7, especially in a superdraft are not regarded as steals (that is reserved for gun players taken plus at around pick 40 onwards)
Also we do know part of the season he slide was he (allegedly) told interstate clubs at his pre draft interviews he was...
Stoked for Sam Mayes, there was some talk that we would draft him in 2012 when suddenly Ollie became available, IIRC.
I think we got Ollie at #7, Mayes went with the next pick at #8.
...in that year's top 30. Anyone know the story of these players? Some were obviously plagued by injury.
2000 - Laurence Angwin (Adelaide #7, 4 games) ... could have had Shaun Burgoyne (#12), Daniel Kerr (#18)
2001 - Luke Molan (Melbourne #9, 0 games) ... Nick dal Santo (#13) Stevie Johnson...
...a top #6 pick in his second year, as well as #23 and #31.
Then picked up Cyril at #12 in his third year.
This is ontop of inheriting #2, #5, #7, #21 in 2004 and a 22 year old former #1 pick in Luke Hodge, as well as the return of a former #1 pick in Croad who was 24 at the time.
Clarkson...
Freo currently have:
#2, #24, #93, #111
Adelaide hold:
#1, #7, #20, #22, #39, #54, #71
Geelong:
#4, #9, #11, #28
I'd be surprised if we don't hold a top 25 pick from at least one of those teams by draft time.
...I can easily see him crack the Top 50 at least.
56) Greg Ritchie - A Queenslander!
57) Matthew Wade* - In his first stint, he was a useful #7, but a substandard wicketkeeper. In his second stint, his keeping was much better, but his batting was much worse. In his third stint, he's done OK...
Yea, I really hope one of them falls on us at #7, not sure that will even happen tho.
Browns with a very similar need basis to us in the first round it looks like, I'd settle for one of the tackles at #7 also, but Okudah and Simmons are the guys I really want.
...with more Tests together would be formidable:
Warner
Burns/Renshaw/ other stable grafting opener
Labuschagne
Smith
Pucovski
Head/Green
Carey
Cummins
Pattinson
Starc
Hazlewood
Lyon
In fact, if the top 6 are making runs, they might go with 5 bowlers on some decks. Cummins can nearly bat at #7, now.
