seeing the funny side of this ...."but I honestly think the kid has not 100% decided what he is doing". Are we talking about Kelly who has three kids?

Wasn’t aware of his exact role but yes I knew his uncle Craig used to play for them (from pies originally) and was still involved up there.
Still makes no difference to the fact that he was a reach at that pick
Not sure what the point is of this. There are people out there that get paid for what people do on BF for free. So what, some get it right some get it wrong, but unless you are getting paid for it, what does it really matter?

Longmuir would be me if I had to do a presser 
The point is that the self congratulatory wamk that posters on here have posted when they criticise the club is hypocritical when the same posters were attacking the club because they didn’t pick players who turned out to be shite.
I am happy for posters to talk up prospects and even to make mistakes. But it gets up my nose when those same posters claim that they could do a better job than the paid recruiters because they have forgotten their own mistakes.
Not sure how you didn’t get that point, or that the posters who liked your lack of perception didn’t either.
I'll put all my chips on we should draft Trent Rivers
Think he'll end up a great player but I'll make sure to bring up how I wanted him when he ends up worse than Masten or whatever

Is Freo still interested in Mason Wood? I was (and still am) a bit uninspired but he's tall, fast, agile, a smooth runner, strong mark, so if we were looking at him playing on a wing (that could swing forward at times) I wouldn't be totally against it if he wanted to reignite his career over here. Decent left foot, and knows where the sticks are. He's just incredibly inconsistent which is probably something you don't really want when recruiting a 25yo (and alarm bells are ringing that he might be on the scrap in a year or two). I wouldn't be recruiting him with an intention to play him in our forward line (we're already tall enough there). If cheap enough I can see our reasoning for looking at him. Won't care too much either way if he ends up on our list or not though.

If the argument for having a local list manager is that we wouldn't have overlooked Kelly or Pickett - wouldn't the opposing argument be that if we did have a local list manager, we would have overlooked Barlow and Ryan?

He feels like a Kersten selection to me
It's Monday, if Kelly isn't making an announcement until Friday then our final pitch hasn't happened yet
A heap more talented than Kersten imo but yeah I completely get what you mean.
It isn't really about who you want though. It would verge on a disaster if Rivers was grabbed with pick 6, and at this stage we won't have pick 24 either because of Henry. I really liked the work the club did last draft to get Valente, and maybe we will see some of that to get our targets, especially as this draft is reported to have less distinction about individual players rankings.
We're more likely to lose the pick from the Langdon trade (pick 21) then Pick 24.
Pick 5 (Ash/Robertson/Rivers) Pick 6 (Ash/Robertson/Rivers)
Pick 21 (Liam Henry)
Pick 24 (?)
If it does end up like that then gee we've done pretty well. Grab a late pick for Pina or if he's rated high enough, Butters
Reckon GCs pick 11 is a prime candidate for a Henry bid...

That’s next year thank God. With the concessions they got given we are lucky the AFL didn’t give them the top 10 picks. Something I didn’t realise at first is that the academy concessions were applied to all their academy picks, thought it was just the NT ones.
Imagine being able to just sign up Western, Henry and Walker without matching a bid. Completely ludicrous concessions when you compare to what we ever got

Yeah I had a panic when I thought that was this year.
I don't think it comes before 10, but I could see any of Port, Hawks or GWS bidding. Otherwise I'm sure west coast would have a stab at 14
Beats me why any side will bid on him if they know he’s coming to Freo.
Billy Frampton from Port wants out.
Apparently we are favourites to get him with Adelaide not far behind, according to Kane Cornes.

And here we were thinking we weren't getting a South Freo star this trade period.
