Ignore the blokes who gets matched and the push down impact, they're irrelevant to us. We have pick 52 of the available players. There will be a lot of trading for points or to move up. When the dust settles, there will probably be about 5 picks between 42 and 52 set aside for matching. Thus...

We won't really move up 10 spots. Even if we trade up to 42 a fair few if the picks between 42 and 52 will vanish in matching.

Yeah Thursday night and late on Sunday are the two tv slots they think they can make big.

There's going to be fury if we don't draft this bloke

There's a few varieties, a couple are close to extinct, but a couple are going a bit better

He was talking as though there will be no pick swaps though and going solely off what Brisbane and Essendon currently hold. There will be pick swaps. Who knows what gets used to match when all is said and done.

I agree, but I'm talking angry Port fans. Reason doesn't come into it.

I'm certainly not saying there's anything wrong with doing it, just think Port fans won't be happy.

I'd send him to China for some pangolin blood. What could go wrong?

Port fans will flip out if that trade is done.

Yep. We've got about 9 nearing the end - covering pretty much all player types. Any hits in this draft is one less we need to recruit to replace them.

They weren't even premium draft picks he listed. In the lead up to domination Hawks spent pick 3 on Xavier Ellis, pick 6 on Dowler, pick 6 on Mitch Thorp.

That's the ginger not the grass.

And get him to eat some grass - Works for Rowell - he doesn't have OP.

Imagine making a claim for unfair dismissal when you haven't performed well in a job that involves sacking 20% of your players every year for not performing well enough in their job.

The next Scott West. Looks a ripper.

Reaching is a myth built from the false idea that there is a clear consensus hierarchy of talent amongst the experts. Made to seem real because the actual experts on the draft cohort don't publish their phantoms - those published tend to be built from a few knowledgeable people and are very...

I think they're stacked too, but I think it's shifted a bit with the focus moving from winning the most clearances to being the most effective from clearance. I think you want a pro who sponges up the opposition's attempts to go out the front of the pack. THe Cotchin role. I think that's what...

I'd be taking Tauru at 6 if he is still there and I was the Tiges - but I rate Reid and Allan as being as likely as the mids set to go in the top 5.

LDU, Wardlaw and Sheezel is going to be an awesome centre square - need someone playing a more defenisve role with them rather than a top liner.

Last year: 3 of our double ups were against previous year's top 6 - we won 6 from 6. 2 against previous year's middle six - we had one draw from 4 games. 1 double up against a bottom six team - we won one and lost one.

Worse than that. I think he'd only just gotten up.

The AFL are playing a long game. It's about generations to build a big following in the area and big supporter base. It's not about the 10 years that these guys have been in the AFL.

Yeah, there will be a different player type who they rate highly who gets through to us.

You haven't had any go early for a while with some likely prospects likely to go a bit later. Cleary and Cochran? Obviously Gulden, but that was probably covid.

2nd rounders will increase in value as they're prime matching points. Late first will drop as you won't be able to trade in as many points as Brisbane for example did this year. I think it will be short lived with the Northern academy kids though, as with the extra price, they'll start hiding...

I must be a fitness guy as I was trying to write get real.

Get rule. He's a fitness guy - of course he can't write.

The highlight video of Urquart made him look undraftable to me - it wasn't only that he was a technically shit kick - he was just throwing it on his boot without looking. I hope we don't pick him.
