How the hell do the swans not have a top 5 academy kid?
Exactly, if so they are the worst team in the world.Bursting with who?!?!
fear not, Collingwood have a top 2 father son and Western Bulldogs look to have a possible top 5 father son this year...oh and who would bet against the AFL giving a front ended PP top North this year...all is right in the AFL worldHow the hell do the swans not have a top 5 academy kid?
As well as some additional picks for Gold Coast...fear not, Collingwood have a top 2 father son and Western Bulldogs look to have a possible top 5 father son this year...oh and who would bet against the AFL giving a front ended PP top North this year...all is right in the AFL world
son of shane who played for port and geelong. Not sure if he played enough games for either side to be father son.Was playing half back mostly until moving into the midfield the last couple of games where he's been a revelation, a real workhorse with neat skills around the 183 - 185cm and 80kg. Another Horsham lad.
Vic Country rep at U16's.
Will be interesting to watch his midfield development as the season goes on.

I think we'll end up roughly where we are right now - around pick 7/8. I did a rough reckoning of our remaining draw and the teams around us and we'll probably keep pace with Freo, fall behind the Bumbers by a game and move slightly ahead of teams below us.Yup, we're outperforming all expectations. That said, if we did end up with pick 9, it's off the back of rolling the 1st and 3rd team on the ladder. We haven't been that crash hot against teams below us at the moment.
We got pick 1 last year, and there is no guarantee we don't get stuck for a year or two at this point (or regress next year).
Bursting with who?!?!
True that..but those 3 picks paid for Jeremy Cameron. He aint going to be easy to replaceGWS with 3 first rounders?
Fk mi have they ever not had a gun draft hand?
Yeah I know but didn't play the required games.son of shane who played for port and geelong. Not sure if he played enough games for either side to be father son.
If it's bone bruising to the knee maybe not that time frame if similar to Paul Seedsman's knee bone bruising event in 2019.Only bone bruising for Sonsie, couple of weeks out
They’re the definition of a feeder club. Develop players to 5 years experience and then poached.GWS with 3 first rounders?

good, operation get rankine 2022. they dont deserve both rankine and luko regardless. they were given a priority pick because they couldnt keep their gun players and then punished the rest of the league for it, **** off.Signing blokes like Rory Atkins and Brandon Ellis to long deals is not helping

Who'd have thought.Signing blokes like Rory Atkins and Brandon Ellis to long deals is not helping
The other issue is they sign Brandon Ellis and he's practically their best player overnight. Definitely top handful. Same with Hugh Greenwood.Who'd have thought.
Ellis is your prime example of a decent player made to look better by the system he was in. Atkins... Well I was always a fan but 5 year ?!?!
Pretty much, if a player gets bid on in the first round which both look likely to be, the matching team (eg. Pies for Daicos) gets a 20%. On current ladder position the pies have a total of 1623 points. To match the possible bid at pick 1 they need to have 2400 points (3000 points - 20% discount) or they will go into deficit next year.Question as I dont really understand the draft points system...but if the Pies select Daicos does that mean basically they wont have any more draft picks this year? Same for the WBs with Darcy?
Wouldn't have helped them this year. Academy picks can not be matched now in the first round. Only father sons can.How the hell do the swans not have a top 5 academy kid?
GC are we in a lot of trouble. They need decent experienced players. Ideally they trade out pick 3 for multiple first rounders, they then trade out those 2 firsts and their priority pick 19 for 2x or 3x ready made players.
Their salary cap is apparently bursting so it makes it hard to trade in guys worth first rounders. They might just go to the draft again.
