I did see in one of the training vids that Polkinghorne was wearing the number 2. Not sure how much to trust but was the same session as Smith #3. Also think I saw 27 either on Retschko or Ivisic in one of the clips but again not 100%
I'm hoping more 'midfield' is him starting up in the centre bounces occasionally and dropping back when play moves on (hopefully to our forward line). I might be getting my games confused but I think it was against Freo? (or at least one of the GMHBA games?) this year he was put there a little...
Popped into Chris Cavanagh's live QnA about the Draft and he said that Nate Caddy and Darcy Wilson are the two that have been strongly linked to us and expects it to be one of those two if we don't trade out and one of them is still on the board - so take that as you will
I feel like the top 10 order of the draft significantly changes if North get Pick 1 as it would hopefully (and probably more likely) leave Sanders for us.
Say North Get 1 and lose one of 2/3 (along with other picks), then you'd think Curtin goes to WCE with one of those which just bumps...
Reiterating what others have said - but geez we are in a great position for Monday night. It's strange getting to know all the top talent for once after 8ish years (and even then Cockatoo wasn't really mentioned in that leading pack until late), so really since Selwood. Potentially having a...
Don't think it's been posted on here (and don't have access to it) but just saw this article recently posted - not sure what it says so if anyone has access to it that'd be great for further context.
AFL draft 2022: Geelong Cats emerge as potential suitor for ...https://thewest.com.au › sport ›...
Based on the silhouettes - I think re-signings look like Isaac Smith, Zuthrie, Tuohy (already confirmed), Atkins and Hawk
But not sure if it's gonna be 100% based on silhouettes
I expect if it's true that Simpson might get re-drafted through rookie.
Really happy with that trade period.
Sad to lose Cooper but with the names coming in plus development of Knevitt, Whyte, Jhye Clark? and hopefully Willis and Kroeger - can see why we traded him to get Ollie/why he may have wanted to leave.
I didn't realise Cooper was a Hawks man (based on...
I know he'll probably go quite early but jeez I'm in the camp for D'Ambrosio I reckon. We probably do need more players like El Nour or Faulkhead (young KD and/or mid) but having someone like D'Ambrosio who can not only run off halfback but has a brilliant left foot in something we need. I said...
Anyone got access to the Addie article in which Selwood names 3 players that have impressed him? Can't access it but am curious to whom is turning heads
Just saw Geelong website posted highlights of Dempsey - obviously raw but the kid has a great pair of hands! hopefully develops as we hope cause have a dominant aerial medium forward could be very useful
Even though I like Cal, most year he never really gets our picks right - obviously hard to pick past like top 7-10 every year so very rarely (if you look back at phantoms) has he accurately predicted who we get outside of Cockatoo in 2014
It'll be interesting, after the Liam Jones saga, if any of the potential draftees are unvaccinated or anything - saw a headline about it before and forgot that could hinder some talents' careers so it'll be interesting if some guys go undrafted despite being nailed on or something
Just after seeing a few recent articles, I can't see us taking Alleer or Dean based on Schlensog saying the Cats have been the most interested (from what I saw in the Fox Footy article). I think that taking one of the mature age mids could be good with one of our later picks - as has been...
I know he is linked to Port outside top 40 - but I wouldn't mind getting Jesse Motlop tbh or at least another forward who can make something out of nothing especially with Eddie here, we get Stengle but what is the harm in getting another to learn from both Eddie and potentially Tyson? Maybe it...
I feel like we need someone who has good foot skills with pace - rather than one or the other which we seem to have drafted recently in my opinion. Also, in a weird way we need someone who is 'cocky' - not lazy cocky but cocky in which they know that their skills are good enough because once...
Yeah I get that but I just don't see that philosophy changing til at least end of 2022 when contracts expire then we move into younger players. This is our last year with this list for a premiership push so I guess you gotta do something. I will say though when Ceglar's name came up I was...
While I'm not a massive fan of getting Ceglar - don't know why people are boohooing it as much - Fort is 28 so only a few years younger than Ceglar and I feel Ceglar could fill the hole while Neale and the Greek Freak grow and develop cause we'd want them playing footy within the next two years...
I haven't been on here for a while - any prospects in that 20-40 range that seem exciting or promising? Would love to learn some names pre-draft so I can overhype them in my mind before being initially disappointed when we select a smokey
Yeah that makes sense, cheers.
Kind of wish we just signed up Stengle now or confirmed he would be coming to the club but yeah looks like we might be waiting a month or so
As much as I'd like 19, I can take 22 + F3 - Clark is good and has that upside but he just has not shown enough defensively (running back etc.) and lacks polish still. Can still get better but I'm not crushed he could leave.
I knew once the Hill news came out that Essendon would sniff around...
Fox Footy said Melbourne were interested in him so I assume we just wanted him before they got him - hopefully Cook is still on the board with our next pick
