Spoke with someone at the club the day after the trade period but not much to add that has not already been said. Still actively looking to trade up but we know we'll get someone we want at 10 regardless of what happens in the first 9 picks. Swans had interest in Dow but Dow did not want to move. Club needs and wants to hit the draft hard the next few years. Bullish on next year.
 
What this says to me (from my very limited knowledge), is that I wouldn't want us to trade our first pick (currently 10/11) in order to gain an extra pick in top 20 (to get say 15 and 19). Whilst there is a variation in order of top 12/13 draftees, there seems to be a consensus as to who they are. Just the way I see it at the moment, but understand the counter view point...
Think it will depend on who is available at our pick. If we don’t rate the players at that pick (but another club does) then splitting for two makes sense.

Thanks for the info on Paddy Dow, pity the stubbornness about moving interstate , at least we would have had some compensation.
Next year as an OOC and probably delist, we’ll get zilch.

Or on the other hand he catches a break, gets an opportunity, gains some confidence, becomes best-22 and continues on to a 200 game career with a couple of premiership medallions. It ain't so completely unlikely.
 
Fwiw - ESPNs October rankings:

1. Ashcroft
2. Phillipou
3. Wardlaw
4. Tsatas
5. Sheezel
6. Cadman
7. Humphrey
8. Clark
9. Mackenzie
10. Busslinger
11. Hustwaite
12. Hollands
13. Hayes
14. Hewett
15. Voss (SOM) 🙂
16. Konstanty
17. Hotton
18. Jones
19. Ginbey
20. Phillips
Surely that's not the consensus rating for Voss, otherwise how was he overlooked in the MSD.

KM has persisted with Voss in his top-20 all year. Now also has listed another mature ager in Phillips who at least is more likely to be drafted that Voss, but still wouldn't go top-20 you'd think. Haven't seen any other draft watcher put Voss in their list. Happy for him (and for MV) if he does get picked up, but doesn't seem likely.

I know some of these are gone... but this is my rough rankings at the moment.

1. Cadman
2. Ashcroft
3. Wardlaw
4. Tsatas
5. Ginbey
6. Clark
7. Phillipou
8. Busslinger
9. Mackenzie
10. Humphrey
11. Hewett
12. Sheezel

Which ever name is the highest, I would strongly consider drafting.
EDIT: I forgot Tsatas

Sheezel at 12!

This guys a jet top 5 all day.

If both are available, it will be interesting which way we go at Pick 11...
Needs - Jefferson (could be a star)
Best Available - Phillipou

I believe we'll participate in at least some sort of pick swap, but my preference for what we've got at this stage is Humphrey/Jefferson at pick 10 (too early for Hotton then?) and Gruzewski/Szybkowski/Burgiel at pick 29. Would also love to pick up Ned Cahill as an SSP recruit.
Wasn't Jefferson a 2nd round prospect a few weeks back? Why the love? I do not see that as a need at all. Have at least 5 ahead of it as far as positions go.

If we're going KPD, I'd understand a little more.
 
Perfect result draft wise

2 genuine forward/mids, KPD, KPF/chopout ruck
At best you’d think that we may get two good players with our first two picks, any other draftees after that is just pot luck

So we’ll have to prioritise positional needs or just go for best available. IMO we should go with best available this year as our list is in good shape I.e. quite balanced

Cal Twomey has Jefferson 10th in his latest power rankings. I personally think a KPF is one of our biggest list needs, we have 0 depth behind Harry and Charlie (JSOS/Kemp/Gov do not count and I see TDK playing predominantly ruck).
 
I’ll take the challenge - with our current picks - 10,29, 49, 66 +

10 - Hayes
29 - George
49 - Allan
66 - Knobel (Now 206/91)
+ - Lieu

How‘d I go.
I'll go with Phillipou, Hotton, Keeler, Van Es (dependent on getting the extra pick ~20 that we're after)
