Collingwood's next generation academy tall midfielder/defender Reef McInnes is being regularly linked by industry sources to one of Essendon's trio of top 10 picks.

If that happens and Collingwood have to use #14 on him, they've essentially traded Treloar for nothing. lol.

Theres no way the Crows bid on him. Whoever they end up getting will probably misses out on 50k through salary, any promotional sh*t that comes with being pick 1.
Bet you Jack Watts wishes he went at 2.
 
The Bulldogs have the points to match pick 1, but it is worth noting that 526 of those points are from the Treloar trade which isn't even agreed between the clubs (#14 out, #26, #33 and #42 in).

I reckon they will. It will take some pressure off whoever they take at pick 2. The club can pay players extra than the mandated amount via the ASA's and in their second contract to make up for not being #1.

Plus if they pick a dud or a go home as quickly as possible player, they can say, when we finally got the #1 pick we couldn't pick the #1 player in the draft under the rules, and that's why we took X who didn't turn out like Ugle-Hagan did.

The Age had a story on Ugle-Hagan and extra bonus he could get as pick 1 in September.


In the event that the Crows call out Ugle-Hagan's name first, he will go into the record books as pick one. He will earn a $10,000 bonus from the AFL and, on past practices, a further $20,000 from NAB. Adelaide would lose the marketing advantages of owning the number one pick; pick two doesn't generate the same hype.

Carlton's latest pick one, Sam Walsh, underscores how that honour changes perceptions of a player's performance. Walsh, by any measure, has been outstanding for the Blues. He won the Rising Star last year, has done everything right and is the main support to Carlton's midfield Atlas, Patrick Cripps. But, as a precise midfielder who accumulates rather than dazzles, Walsh is already being compared, unfavourably, to the more spectacular King brothers and Connor Rozee.
..........

Whoever they pick, though, would be better off as the draft's second banana. Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir, pick two in 1998, is more of a saviour for the club now than then.

To be released from a messianic burden is worth far more than a $30,000 bonus.
 
A record-low number of selections are set to be used at next Wednesday’s national AFL draft.

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing several underage leagues, most notably the NAB League, to come to a halt, AFL recruiters have had a tough task identifying prospects this season.

But come next week, nearly a quarter of the overall national draft selections expected will likely be tied to the 18 AFL clubs.

Foxfooty.com.au has found there will be approximately 53 selections taken on draft night, with 12 of them likely to be bids on players already tied to AFL teams.

The 2020 draft pool for some time has loomed as the most compromised in recent history given the abundance of Next Generation Academy and father-son prospects.

Port Adelaide: 35, 47, 57, 59, 73, 95 (likely to use two picks)

This is great news for us if we lose all our picks to match Jones and Schofield.

Our next pick ends up being 53 at worst rather than much later.
