Macrae can't even crack a mention in the poll options ??? He'll be the Dog's next Brownlow winner and his onfield leadership by example is second to none. A combination of he and Bont would cover the captaincy situation pretty nicely for the next decade I woulda thought.

9 That loophole will be closed by next year I reckon. Nobody at AFL house saw that coming - nor the clever swifty the Swans organised with eagles.

Yeh, Foley pretty handy but still can't believe eagles chose him ahead of Valente. Reckon he'll turn out to be one of those 'if only' types that other clubs will rue not picking up - considering some of the ho-hum players selected earlier in that range.

Good on them. Saw what they wanted and went and got him. Stocker is seriously impressive imo. There may not be another of his ilk available to them next year. In the meantime he and Walsh both will probably have a dozen or more games under their belts. Reckon Brissy were very astute grabbing Ely...

The 5 minutes is to allow for any pick trading negotiations.

Hey guys, I would be staggered if Dogs didn't grab King if he's still there at 7. He's a ripper. Naughton and King - there's your defensive spine for a decade or more.

Since Dogs currently do not hold a full set of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th round picks for next year (pretty sure u have no 2019 4th pick left atm), they aren't permitted to trade away their 2019 first rounder. Keep 7 or not. But it would be crazy not to try trade into teens using 27 and 32 before West...

Trading out future first rounder is desperation. You guys don't wanna go down that track surely? Simply wait til pick 7 arrives - if there's someone available too good to pass up, then use it. Then bundle up those problematic 27 and 32 to perhaps get something in the teens for any one of those...

If Stocker was still there I'd think about grabbing him. Then I'd think again about how perfect he'd be for Freo. But then I'd still take Hill first. Just makes sense.

No other club is in the quandary you guys have with father/son because all their second picks are so late. Dogs have two choices with that pick 27 and/or 32. But MUST get rid of at least one of them. Either bundle one with a future second plus steak knives to get a future first rounder. Or put...

As I said before - AFL bending rules on the run to suit one club ie. essendon

Um..... but Clarke didn't retire? He was dumped (about 3 years later than he shoulda been). He nominated himself for last year's draft. How is that in any way 'retired'?? Mumford fits the profile but Clarke should be made to go through draft. AFL has opened a can of worms now. Players like...

Yep. Hill + Ely Smith would be a great get. And it is actually a realistic possibility at our selections.

I'm sure Gibbs will be pleased that you've outed him for betting on matches

Yep, that's the risk bit of my equation :) Personally, I'd be more than happy if Freo had a crack at West at 14. I really rate him highly. However, most on our boards expect Hill to be our target.

It's risk v reward isn't it? Losing 19 for a bid makes no difference because effectively 19 is swapped for 27 - which you would've had to use for bid either way. Of course there is the move of 7 back to 9 which hurts a bit. But if (as most expect) bid for West doesn't come til 2nd round, you...

You guys are in an interesting position. If it gets to pick 7 and the options left before you are much of a muchness, Dogs would be crazy if they didn't wade into some live trading. Something perhaps like eg. your 7, 27 & 45 for GWS 9, 19, 52 & 89. Gets you two solid 1st round picks, offloads 27...

Yep. Gotta trust your list managers. I was a bit surprised to see Campbell delisted myself. Always thought he showed a bit for your team. I do honestly hope you can pick up something a little better than Clarke in any case.

Yes, well aware of his role in Subiaco's premiership this year. If you only want someone for hitouts then he's your man. And if looking for someone to set clanger records as well, then he's definitely your man. :) I did know Fort spent time with your vfl. Rucks generally only peak mid twenties...

Hope for Dogs sake they look at Darcy Fort from SA. Three years younger, 2cm taller and 15kg heavier. And likely you guys will spend far less time with your head in your hands than you would if that gumby Clarke was lagging around in your midfield.

Ah ok. Must've missed the news on Nyhuis. Thought it was only Apeness and Hughes had the lifeline.

Maybe I'm a little biased being a Claremont supporter but I have always been more than happy when the ball is in Bolton's hands that we would retain possession after he disposed of it. Find it hard to believe there is a knock on him in that regard.

Huh..... Can't kick? Bolton is well worth a rookie spot. Pretty sure he'll get his well deserved chance this time around. I hope it's with Freo - even if as depth as you're saying.

Grand total for 3 matches: 15 runs off 37 balls plus one ridiculous drs appeal burnt. No catches, no wickets, no f****** idea! Gotta wonder what the selectors been smoking? On SM-G950F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Over the years the Tigers have made some absolute howlers. Nevertheless, our selection of Pitt ahead of Darling was imo our worst single drafting decision. I don't buy the notion at all that Pitt may have been something if it weren't for his health. The guy showed absolutely zilch, zero, nothing...

Bont, Cripps or Ollie Wines. On SM-G950F using BigFooty.com mobile app

None are right. Dunno what it's got to do with this thread though? :)

Yes you're probably right. Briggs not likely bid on til second round for GWS. Dont think a 26 or 27 pick is worth the effort to get hold of from Dogs or Swans. My only thought is that if we could offer up a mix to GWS for that 19 including a handy future pick, they may be tempted to swap and...

Not sure how we can get it done but would be handy to try snatching a second pick inside top 20. Only likelihood I can see any hope of doing so is that GWS may well be a slight chance to shift their third pick deeper for academy pick reasons - and the only club currently in top 20 that might...

It doesn't matter that it doesn't draw a 90k crowd. Pre 2017 years there was a zero crowd!! Kangas and Dogs put submissions in and both drove it hard to make this one stand alone fixture theirs. It's a game of footy and plenty enough would attend or watch on tv. But once again the AFL greed has...
