Both are available at Pick 7 and freo select a different player
If that's the case I hope it will be Todd Marshall as I believe this young guy will be a gun.

Agreed. Has only played 1 year of serious footy. Before that he was a national junior off spinner (go figure). Has massive potential.
He's kind of the opposite of English. More a fwd/ruck than ruck/fwd (actually , no idea if he can ruck - sandi can teach him)
2m ish tall, takes a great grab, can kick off both feet, fast and can slot goals from 50+m.
Serviceable rucks can be picked up anywhere (within reason). Gun forwards are hard to find - freo has been looking for 10 years.

I voted Ainsworth. But thought Berry and Sympkin were stiff to miss out on being included in the poll. Likely to be picked ahead of the last 3 mentioned.

Can anyone tell me why we're not starting pre season till the 21st? It seems a bit late considering Carlton have already started.

Read the first part of the story on Ainsworth. Would be happy if we missed him.
The afl players finished at the same time, just the Peel players
Do we need a new Training thread?
I'm done worrying about our first pick. We are guaranteed of several good players being available at our pick including most probably all but a couple of Brodie, SPS, Taranto, English, Scrimshaw, Logue, Marshall, Florent...
My dream that Cedric Cox and/or Josh Rotham slide to our 2nd pick is fantasy land stuff so am getting on the Sam Walker train myself as I think we need to use our 2nd pick on a quality half back. Might not even make it to us but if he does I think he'd be ideal at #35. Other half back options for #35/#40 might be Jordan Ridley, Taylin Duman, Bailey Morrish, Harry Morrison. Possibly Ryan Garthwaite or Isaac Cumming but sometimes I think the academy players are overrated due to the extra exposure they get - and possibly the opposite for the SA prospects.

Breaking a jaw and also being reported for striking in the same game? Saying he only elbowed the kid high as he ducked a bit. Being thought of as arrogant on the AIS tour. That strikes me as someone who will not be a team player and we will struggle to hold onto in WA. And these stories are meant to paint them in a good light.
Impressive kid.
Nephew of Andrew Vlahov, maybe a couple extra cms left to go.
Would not be upset at all if we ended up with Logue.
Anyone got a clip?
Yes he seems terrific.
We traded our future 2nd rounder to have an extra pick in this draft in a bit of a sweet-spot from what I can see. This draft is talked about as being deep, especially for midfielders. A strategy I like would be to go early on a player such as Logue (or English) in the knowledge that there will be decent mids available for our later picks.
Finding quality talls is significantly more difficult than getting decent midfielders. They get taken early, and while we have had success trading in talls this pre-season McCarthy is the only one that is likely to approach A Grade.
Out of curiosity who do you rate higher SPS or SPP, I've heard SPS is a long way of playing afl

Sps = stephen hill type need time.
Spp= Daniel rich type reach peak early and drop off.
SPS and it isn't even close.
I'm picking the momentum we've established in the trade period will continue and whoever we chuck in the cab at seven will be sharing the fare with an attacking backman and a ruck I reckon.
SPP is a big bodied plodder with a God awful kick and terrible decision-making. Really hoping your mob pick him up.
