So.... Which team is rumoured to be drafting McGrath's dead water buffalo?

 

[RUNVS]

Still a pest in America as well.

They’re native to India and South East Asia. If they’re found anywhere else, they’re an introduced species.

Water buffalo, wild boar, camel, deer and horses are all pests in various parts of Australia, and other parts of the world.

Now if we’re talking elephants, big cats, rhino etc then that’s abhorrent.

Just checked and it was Africa



I am not sure what the bottom left animal is.

Draft rumours people...

 

[T__Y]

Been hiding under a rock (work) the last couple of weeks, are the 16 invites to the draft published anywhere?

Any chance we can get this one answered? I’m keen to know too.

 

[master bate]

Any truth the rumour about Tom Green and a hunting trip to North America..

Anyway, turns out I was been led on about this one. Nothing to see. Sorry for the distraction.

Could Finn Maginess be the next Josh Kennedy and be shaken loose from the Hawks nest by an early bid ?
It certainly would lift the fog of collusion that has descended on this draft.

Doubt it, a bid would have to come before 11 for us to pass on him and i just see that as less than a 1% chance.

They would only not match if a bid comes before 11 and idoubt that happens. He probably doesnt get bid until Geelong at 17 or 24.

What fog of collusion?

The same one your team will be looking for next year?

More of a mist or gentle drizzle next year, but yeah pretty much.

 

[SL16]

Has a list been released of who has been invited to the first night of the draft?

 

[BORIS332]

Any truth to the rumour Freo will overlook Robertson due to his kicking and because they selected Valente last year?

I've had someone who gets quite a few things right (won a carton off a poor sap when he had good mail that Kelly was going to be one of the first trades done) that has said we arent taking Robertson due to concerns on his kicking

Sounds like Stephens locked in to Freo if he gets past Adelaide then.

Stephens and Young make the most sense from a list perspective. If we rate them pretty much equal on talent with Serong, they fit a list need much much more. Would stoked to walk away with Young and Stephens

Is inside mid not a list need after the loss of Neale and impending retirement of Mundy?

 

[weltschmerz]

I was picking for Freo in our board's mock draft, and I traded up just to get Stephens.

 

[Joao]

We need good players in both positions but slightly more outside than inside. Anyway, Stephens can play both.

 

[BORIS332]

Sounds like Adelaide are just about certain to take McAsey:

When asked what the Club’s needs were, Ogilvie said long-term key position prospects would come under strong consideration as understudies for Taylor Walker (29) and Daniel Talia (28).

“For us, if there was a high level tall there that would be interesting,” Ogilvie said.

“Common sense says Tex and Daniel Talia are closer to 30 than they are 20, so in time you’d like to replace those.

Hawthorn interested in Elijah Taylor if they can trade back into the early second round of the draft

Heard that on The Age’s podcast today. They seemed to think he might even be in the conversation at Hawks’ first. Serious talent.

Is this actually a thing?

Not sure.
BallaratBulldog - do you guys have facilities now?

Can confirm. No broken glass on the ground either.

We have inside mids that have been played out of position or have yet to debut. Outside run and good kicking are our priorities.
