For me looking to the 2025 (and 2026) draft I’m looking at gaps in our forecast best 23 for 2028 (e.g. in 4 years time). Obviously a lot of the below is based of potential and development will be huge moving forward.

HB: Trainor, Gibcus, xxxx
B: xxxx , Balta, Brown
C: HRS, Smillie, Campbell
HF: Hotton, Faull, Clarke
F: Rioli, Amstrong, Sims
R: xxxx, xxxx, Lalor
Int: Taranto, xxxx, McAuliffe, Alger,

Looking at this the midfield still needs players, out number 1 ruckman (this could always be a traded target in future), small defenders.

2025
Dyson Sharp - midfield grunt
Oliver Greeves - midfield
Fred Rodriguez - midfield outside speed and skill

2026
Cody Walker (dream scenario) - Midfield class, NGA prospect, will have to beat Carlton F/S so unlikely
Tanner Armstrong - small forward/defender, NGA prospect

I would be trying to front load contacts as much as possible, even using pick purchasing (if it comes in) to maximise salary caps over the next 3 years. I would then target free agents in 2027, this could work in our favour if a number of players line up contracts with Tasmania entering the competition.
Still got to have Mansell, was our best small forward this year other than Shai and only 24. I'm hoping they trial Banks down back to give us some run out of defence or Judson once he's recovered.
 
Going to be a lot of salty oppos if we get Sharp. Adelaide have a thread dedicated to him 😂😂😂😂

Had a look at their list to work out which young kid we could nab if they got desperate. It’s Draper and Thilthorpe, that’s it and both are from SA.

What an awful list.

Don’t want Rachele, hears footsteps.

Yeah had that thought too. They have nothing to trade, they should have grabbed Langford if they wanted him.

What do Port have? Margarine and late future 1sts

Butters would be the one but he’d be 25… probably yes if he were 23.

Berry and future firsts otherwise. Unless something silly happens and Georgieadies goes to WA.

Maybe Saints go after Butters and the collateral would be offered to us with some extra stuff.

Knowing Port they'll bend over for a top Vic team and get like pick 15 for him. 🤣
 
Sharp is a bulldozer. See ball and beat opponent to ball. Greeves more skilled, strong mark up forward.


Think he averaged 8 in the seniors this year.

Last year in the 16's he went 37 disposals and 5 tackles a game. Think I've read he's been focused on his defensive game this year rather than just racking up the footy.


Beast.

The Lalor pick could also be a bit of forward projection by Blair and co thinking of guys like Sharp.

Not to say we didn't rank him 1st but as a bonus Lalor can easily sit up forward and impact period of games while Sharp and Smilie dominate the mids. Not many of the top prospects that were picked can do that.

Oooo Tauru 😍

Don’t port do the opposite and bend over other clubs?

Zero clue how they made JHF and Rioli work, they gave up 2 firsts and a bunch of junk.

Scammed Norf for pick 11 for Polec who they scammed the lions out of for a 2nd two years after he went pick 5.

Scammed Hawks with Wingard for 15 and Burton

Got ebert for a late 2nd from WCE

Ryder and Howard + 10 for 12 and 18

Though given recent history bending over Norf and WCE in trades isn’t exactly rocket science.

I was just thinking this year, giving up a good pick for Luko & taking unders for Houston. They got reamed by GC 😂😂😂
 
Lalor, Smillie, Sharp, McAuliffe, Hotton

Not just Adelaide but North fans are also gunna sook hard when our midfield ends up better than theirs lol
What about the mid we take with North's pick?

Ha Ha Ha Lol GIF
