A few stories about this morning that clubs are coming hard at GWS pick 2/ they might be willing to trade. The idea is that they would be more interested in Gibcus or Andrew and that a pick that satisfies that might be an option. Unfortunately that's not us, but I wonder if we could try. Offer 14, 18 and next year's first for pick 2 and a future 2nd round pick? Then we could take Callahan at 2, Banks or similar at 41and maybe a mature age KPD late or in the rookie draft allowing is to upgrade Madden. I had a look at points to see how that works and we would likely be paying a premium of a couple hundred point in that scenario. Would anyone do that? Would GWS?

Personally I wouldn’t just because I don’t view Callaghan as that much better than the rest of the first round.

YEah fair enough. If we did see him as the clear number 2/3 mid in the draft I would be pretty keen on him. Bear in mind the second and third mids in drafts from 2015 are; Oliver and Parish, Tarranto and Clugga, Brayshaw and Dow, Rozzee and Smith, Anderson and Stephens, Campbell and Hollands. That's a pretty impressive list.
Article in the Limited News sites this morning pumping up Casey Voss's chances of being drafted this year as a mature ager. I presume we're still able to take him under father-son if we were still interested?

No we’ve had our chance he goes into the open draft
Man, it would suck if it turned out he was a late bloomer and played in a Carlton premiership

even if he is a late bloomer, zero chance of Carlton winning a premiership anytime soon
Would love to see Casey Voss get a chance on our Rookie list. 21 years old and Sturt's B&F winner is impressive. My guess is that we don't have any list spots to allow for this, unless we use something like pick 41. Wouldn't surprise me to see him get picked up by someone.

Careful, it’s Port’s third not GWS’.

Knightmare 's latest phantom draft has my (realistic) dream pair of selections for us: Goater and Wilmot. Interestingly, the writeup for Goater sounds like he's everything we want in a half-back - good run and carry and strong intercept marking. Much like Starcevich, he sounds like a good pick for his defensive potential alone, and any midfield time would be a nice bonus.

And little chance of playing for Carlton you would think. Maybe Vossy's old mates MaCrae/ Leppa might pull a string or two at Collingwood. They would be looking for a few late selections too, with all their picks getting wiped out.

He has been in SA for the last 5 or 6 years so can’t see why it would be only us and GC who might be likely.
GC weren’t mentioned in the article but there may be other teams interested if we are.

Do we really need to draft another hb/small med defender. We have Coleman, Madden, Answerth, Prior pushing for that spot and Carter Michael, Uosis developing. Seems like we have that area covered for a cpl of years at least.
Sm/med fwds and mid/fwds we have plenty of as well.
I'm thinking we need a tall fwd, outside Joe, Hippy n Mcstay, it's Fullerton n H Smith and Smith is probably more a fwd/ruck, ruck/fwd than anything. If there's a good one we could get this year jump on him. They take more time to develop, the sooner we get one the better.
Even a tall defender, Andrews n Payne are our only genuine tall defenders, with Gardiner and Adams capable of playing tall. All are somewhat injury prone. Harris now has a knee problem that hindered the back end of this season. That could become more serious and recurring.
I don't think we need midfielders either, not after Devrob stood up this year and Ashcroft is expected to come on board next year. Quality both of them and should leapfrog our mid depth quickly.
Hard to know what the club is thinking, what they are likely to do. We have previously just taken the best talent available, regardless of the position they play. So I'd reckon that's the way they will go. Trade for needs n draft for talent has worked pretty well over the last 4-5yrs.

I’ve answered the bolded part.
Short answer is there’s only one, and he likely goes before our first pick.
Long answer is there’s only one, and he likely goes before our first pick. There are a few defenders, one likely goes before our first pick, then there’s another three who should go in the early to middle second round.
Next year looks to be loaded for KPP’s.

Personally I don't see us taking a tall with the idea of playing them forward, as you've mentioned we will already have Fullarton, H Smith, Fort and Lane all mixing between key forward and ruck over the next couple season in the VFL so I don't see the need for a key forward. Key defender on the other hand I do see a need for with now only Payne and Lester as the taller defenders in the reserves.
Yes.
