You're making it out like nobody on our list can kick at all. I think we'll be fine.

If Warner becomes available next year, what are we comfortable giving up? Is there any scenario where we can bring Warner in and retain our F1?

Well done all. I dropped the ball timing out in one of the games but squared the ledger in the other.

That's cause it was linked to Hawks finishing position. If we're ever going to benefit from FA compo, it's while we're down the bottom end. That said, if rumours that we tried to get Band 3 compo for Graham and AFL said "no chance", I wouldn't be surprised if we get a similar outcome for OA...

I want him to be an Eagle for life, but also conscious about his knee. If he wants a long term contract, the tail end needs to be performance based or with triggers (e.g. 5 yr contract with triggers for yrs 6+7).

Ah fair nuff, I wasn't aware of that.

He's 22 in a fortnights time, so he probably should have shown something beyond 10 disposal average at VFL level. As a defender, Barnett showed more in the WAFL. Nothing else you wrote really convinces me he has anything to offer. When you're limited to 2 train ons per available list spot...

So what's the appeal of giving Brock a train on spot? Coming off a rookie list, never cracked an AFL game, delisted after only 3 years when KPP are usually given more time to develop. Doesn't exactly scream "AFL quality" does it?

Looks like he has great instinct and can read the play. Small frame, but Eddie Betts and Charlie Cameron do too and they're guns. Excited to see him play.

I suspect Jamieson is also one more injury away from getting a tap on the shoulder, so he may be another avenue to a MSD spot opening up.

Credit to Duane Massey for a brilliant draft. Even if we kept 12+14 and traded 26 for Baker, I'm not certain we'd have necessarily had a better haul than what we ended up with.

I missed how we got our hands onto pick 48. Can someone fill me in what we traded for it?

Hopefully trend continues with Champion not getting bid on.

I hate the people running the AFL. Still milking the full 5 mins per pick like Richmond haven't had 24hrs to choose who they were going to pick.

The draft has really unfolded beautifully for us, hasn't it? Allan sounds like a great pick up, athletic, can football, didn't look out of place at WAFL vs men. And what's available to us at our next pick is exciting, Mraz or Shanahan at our pick would be awesome, Moraes or Urquhart if we...

Look, maybe he was just relieved to get selected. But it looked like an awkward smile rather than a "best day of my life" smile.

Reid didn't look impressed getting selected by Freo.

Bo Allan's athletic profile is exciting, now its up to us to develop him into a midfielder.

Bo, Reid, Armstrong, Shanahan and Berry still available. If ever we were going to take advantage of our draft position, this outcome is it.

Bombers didn't pick swap to keep their 2nd rounders. No takers or are they worse at trading than the Eagles?

Either or both of Bo Allan and Reid left at our pick.

Well done mate, you jinxed us.

No KPP picked so far, WCE nightmare draft order quickly emerging here.

For all the rage at our drafting, at least we have the sense to draft positions other than midfielders.

We're all going to break into song to show our support for the boys? Lets be honest, we're all going to pay our memberships, buy our merchandise and think we've turned the corner every time we win a game. Pyke aint worried.

Prediction of pick swaps to happen on the night. Eagles pick 12+F3 for Freo's 14 + 30 Freo then draft Reid at 12 Port take Shanahan at 13 Bulldogs trade 17 + 25 for our 14 + Hawks F3 wanting to grab Berry, who they have been linked to. We take Hotton at 17 and hold 25, 26 & 35

Ashcroft, Kako and Lombard weren't available to us at pick 3 anyway, so it continues to be pick 12 in the context of this conversation.

It's pick 12, not 15. And yes, there's probably been close to a dozen players who have been mentioned as top 3 prospects over the last few weeks including Lalor, FOS, Taura, Draper, Reid, Langford, Smith, Smillie, Travaglia & Armstrong.

I was as angry as everyone else on here with what transpired around the Baker trade and anyone pretending Clarke wasn't reemed at the trade table is kidding themselves. But I'm starting to swing across to the Obeanie1 wagon that it's become one giant bed wetting exercise now. Clarke is a list...

Its such a short test with no room for error, I'm surprised its just one attempt rather than taking the average across numerous attempts. Slightly slow reaction or a misstep can be the difference between 3.0 & 3.2. Suddenly "burst of speed" becomes "trickle slow".
