There are various minor draft rumours about who goes where, but essentially it's minor variations on theme. Looking at that list 5 to 15, are there any we'd really not want or need? The way I see it, with the likes of Cerra, Hewett, Acres coming on board, we've got an essentially 'balanced list'. And so I'd be happy with whomever within that list from 5 to 15...1.Brisbane … Ashcroft
2.GWS … Cadman
3.North … Sheezel
4.North … Wardlaw
5.* … Philippou
6.GC … Ginbey
7.Hawthorn … Tsatas
8.Geelong … Clark
9.WC … Busslinger
10.St.Kilda … Mackenzie
11.Carlton … Humphrey
12.Footscray … Hollands
13.WC … Hewett
14.Melbourne … Jefferson
15.Sydney … Allan
Bit of a Sunday morning stab in the dark.
Reckon Dodoro has locked in on Phillipou.
Craig Cameron is reported as saying GC want a big bodied bull midfielder.
Tsatas looks perfect for Hawthorn.
Geelong, WC and St.Kilda take/get their respective men.
Carlton land Humphrey as an explosive forward/mid hybrid.
Footscray believed to be keen on Hollands and likewise, Melbourne keen on Jefferson.
Leaves Sydney to snaffle Allan as a possible Kennedy midfield replacement …

Can’t remember what?I can't remember.........
Fair call Red. For us, I think a natural forward target is not a bad option. Beyond Charlie and H we don’t have a lot. Kemp I think will play 3rd tall, but a mover and shaker with size like a DeGoey or Greene is a hole we have. We have outside run covered in Walsh, Cerra, Acres, Cottrell and LOB, though I’d love an X-factor indigenous lad like the Carlton version of Yaz - Lloyd Johnston with our 3rd pick would do me fine. Though I like Van Es there also.1.Brisbane … Ashcroft

"With pick 49, Carlton select..."Lloyd Johnston with our 3rd pick would do me fine.
Q’s are whether HFC take Clark before Geelong, and do the WCE’s select Allan before Hewett (and who takes him next, or does WC get another opportunity later @ #20).1.Brisbane … Ashcroft

You can't say we don't have a history of deciding who we are going to draft too early and not meeting any resistance from other clubs. If you said we didn't, it would be a fib.I wouldn't waste your time with Paf. We’re a week out from the draft, he’s in his zone - everything we do is a mistake.
You’re a fibber…..no you are. Fibber!You can't say we don't have a history of picking them too early and not meeting any resistance from other clubs. If you said we didn't, it would be a fib.
I think there's definitely a chance we try to trade our F1 for another 1st this year (would obviously need an F3 back, but we might offer #49). Not sure Swans would be keen to trade #15, maybe #18?Any chance we might offer our future first for Sydney's 15 on the night, or is this just fantasy? Swans may be willing to cool their jets after a very good year from a developing squad, and have a big crack at next year's strong draft.
Would be great to get two of these youngsters in now, there are clearly going to be very good players available around that 15/16 mark.
Yeah makes sense. I feel like if we could get two picks Jefferson would be worth a crack with our second, big upside with him. Really like the names that are shaping as being available from 10-20, hope we can orchestrate a second selection.I think there's definitely a chance we try to trade our F1 for another 1st this year (would obviously need an F3 back, but we might offer #49).

I don't get it Stam... you've been jumping on anyone talking about 10+29 for say 15+19, as you rightly say it needs a higher premium to move up five spots in the first round.I think there's definitely a chance we try to trade our F1 for another 1st this year (would obviously need an F3 back, but we might offer #49).

I have to say I was blown away by this young man!

We would be on the different side of the equation (trying to buy into the first round vs another team trying to trade up).I don't get it Stam... you've been jumping on anyone talking about 10+29 for say 15+19, as you rightly say it needs a higher premium to move up five spots in the first round.
And now you're suggesting F1 for 18? It's essentially betting that we finish premiers for that to be an even deal. Whilst I love your optimism, and I agree we should be better than last year, a more realistic scenario would see that F1 pick being 11-14. Even F1 for 15 would be in the Swans' favour, though not unreasonably so. Perhaps F1 + 64 for 15 + F3 would be fair.
I still don't think we'll do it. A trade involving our F2 would seem more likely.

Thanks - how do we get him in our team?

I wouldn’t do it, 2023 cohort is special, not exaggerating nor hyping it up I know it’s said every draft year so there’s always cynicism too.Any chance we might offer our future first for Sydney's 15 on the night, or is this just fantasy?
