I wonder if the swans are looking to get another pic in the 30s Maybe possible if Ladhams or Wicks or Parker leave There is gonna be some gems in the 20s and 30s Very interesting draft for the swans Langford Hynes Bo Allan are very interesting possibilities So Christian M Then you...

I get the feeling this is a draft where we will unearth a gem or two

Even if stays this height In the half back line with Lizard What a line breaking combo Who do you guard ?

Large 190cm + powerful type who can run and cover ground - basically a utility could be our target and there is a few of them Basically Heeney with 5cm

Hanily looks like a good pick Knows how to play and good footy IQ Due to the depth of this draft I think we will take our picks and maybe even try to acquire more picks Deep even draft all the way into the 40s So there will be gems into the 30s and 40s

So am I correct in assuming we don’t have anymore pics in the national draft ? Just one more pick in the rookie draft ? 1 Cat A and 1 Cat B?

Looks like KB and the Swans rate Will Green highly - he is in the mix Caddy and Sullivan also in the mix if there available We are going for best Available We might even trade 12 for 17 and 18 from NM - not offical

Does not surprise me Heeny replacement ? Very skilled and talented guy and start of the year was seen as top 10

That 15 to 40 space is very eve. Few months ago i said 20 to 40 was a very even space and could hold a few gems That’s before our trade period And yes we will most likely only do two picks this session as I reckon Reid will be re signed - something I said when he was put on LTI Honestly...

KB interview on SEN Sounds like swans trying to move up the second pick higher ? Currently 45

Is he key position or a flanker. If flanker he is ours KB is salivating.

4 years for JJ Contract worth too 50% of players at the club

Reid was never gonna be on it When fit - he is a outstanding player still He can play back forward ruck Only genuine swing man we have

McLean was one the first to train Francis and show him the ropes Someone mentioned follow Teddys program etc Good idea but Moore Andrews etc are all 200cm + U can’t train or teach height

I am aware - but it’s a salary dump for melb They are not happy to have a VFL player earning 650k They need that money off there books ASAP Because Grundy is contracted he has a say in where he gets traded etc Seems like Grundy picked us over the only other interested party

It makes more sense for a pick in the 40s Considering the picks used to acquire Grundy and considering we are picking up the whole contract This is effectively a salary dump by Melb - let’s not forget that.

Stephen Future 1st. It’s in the Roos benefit to trade away those FF and keep good relationships. No one achieves anything by low balling on Stephens. Also reported that everything is amicable It could even be an upgrade of future pics Eg our third for there end of first Something like that

Did not develop as expected His younger bro is a Cripps size midfielder supposedly with more talent - draft year potentially next year We have a few next year that look decent and could be anything - good size as well - key position size

He has played key back I mentioned him a few months ago Lions have a outstanding deep defence and Tom does have some talent Since we do need a key back as a emergency option Tom does have some highly desirable traits - size speed athletic decent kick e

Agree. I would not mind him at all. I would not be surprised if he goes top 15 I doubt he will be around for our second (hawks)

Saddington? Lewis ? LRT ?

Moir Archer Reid and Tholstup were all considered top 10 in Jan / Feb 2023

I have said that for several months now. Many are underestimating this draft especially the 20 to 40 range Our Clearly might even fall out of top 40 Nothing special

Nathan K and Charlie D from magpies could come cheaply.

could we rookie draft Oscar Macdonald as some were suggesting in the mid year draft We could be that emergency Luke Teal also could be in the mix for a rookie listing

1 for him 3 for Amartey Both injury prone and shown glimpses Perfect example of the difference in importance between Forwards and Defenders

I am actually a fan of this guy and I think he is a great Rampe replacement - seems to have size speed and is considered the best field in the draft .. if we get McKay and Grundy .. with pick 22 he could be an option (might still be around) If we get McKay and Grundy and keep Melican .. I don’t...

The GC pick 4 to bulldogs for there two first round 10 and 17 could work cause GC is open to trading 10 to maximise there options That’s why many think Bulldogs are better placed then Sydney Obviously that only works if no one bids on Croft until after bulldogs picks which is a possibility

This draft just has the feel of some gems after pick 30 Obviously top 10 is very strong But I just feel that there will be number of gems found in the 30s and 40s

Goodes was an athletic freak - I still remember him rucking against giants like Cox and winning the tap and bursting out of the middle kicking to Hall. (Before he did his knee)
