McAdam out with depressed cheekbone fracture...and he has been a point of difference in our forward line

But Fog usually plays the eagles ok, so he might finish with a bag

Gollant comes in I guess?

TBH I'm no longer 100% confident we win. The emotional cannonball those players took on the weekend will be hard to get up from, especially for a single dead rubber game!

I wouldn't be surprised if we see one of the most putrid performances in 3 years. And TBH, I wouldn't really blame them.

Prior to the Swans match, I said that there was no way we would lose to WC after beating the Swans.
Afterwards, I am no longer sure. Quite apart from the mental consequences of the last match, it seems now that WC are full of in-form premiership players. McGovern will probably clean up our attack, Kelly looks ominous, and Cripps is also back to his irritating best.

 

[Crows I Am]

North Fans convinced they’ll have picks 1,2 and 3. What an embarrassment of a club. No other league in the world has the draft manipulation that the AFL does.

Where does pick 3 come from? I understand pick 1 and 2 if they get the compo for McKay, but not sure how they would also get 3?

Compensation for finishing bottom again.

100% AFL wouldn't care if we tanked round 24.

I want to see everyone punted off for surgery this week.

If we land Pick 6 we're a real chance at pick 4.

AFL want us to lose the last game so anyone saying we were robbed of a finals spot will have to shut up

 

[Crowman32]

I think darcy wilson is the perfect pick for us either be pick we have.

I hope we can get Gold Coasts pick and keep ours to use on Wilson.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I hope we can get Gold Coasts pick and keep ours to use on Wilson.

Losing to WCE would IMO be the only way to guarantee Wilson at our own pick, IMO

Otherwise I’m not sure he gets past GWS, Essendon or Brisbane

 

[Crows I Am]

Compensation for finishing bottom again.

No cance that happens this year, especially if they get pick 2 as compo.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Speaking of Wilsons' Billy had a big game again on the weekend for the Dandy Stingers..your speedy running defender maybe?

Remember his Young Guns game when he was on fire?

Several Dandenong Stingrays starred in the Vic Country v Young Guns representative match at Ikon Park on Sunday.


Billy Wilson, Kade De La Rue, Sam Frangalas and Harry DeMattia each strengthened their draft credentials with eye-catching performances for Vic Country.

Wilson took his usual aggressive rebounding defender post and took marks, took grass and weaponised his leg-speed to get involved multiple times in attacking chains.

It was a statement game for Wilson, who started the season outside of Vic Country but has been seen by the Rays as one capable of pushing in.

Combined with his scintillating start to the year and the upside several clubs see in him, he looks close to a lock for Vic Country selection.

Jeffcrowe you see many SA boys with this kind of rig?

Yep, the other Wilson goes under the radar for sure. I’ve got him top 30, particularly after a couple of standout games in the Champs too

 

[beagle2]

There'll be somebody there, top 10 players are usually good - there are always good players to be found.

Mutineer has indicated Darcy Wilson could be good, he'll be right in our range if Sanders doesn't drift down the order.

Pick 9 is likely to be 10 or11 after gc academy

 

[Dangerousfield]

Pick 9 is likely to be 10 or11 after gc academy

What you do is ignore the GC draftees and the picks they create.

If we have pick 9 we'll be selecting after 8 non aligned draftees have been selected.

For some reason, we need to have this discussion every year!

I haven't posted any of my stuff on your board yet. If there's any kid in particular you'd like to see vision of let me know.

Here's Darcy Wilson from the weekend:

[noobermensch]

Billy Wilson from the same game

Lachie Charleson's 8 goal game on the weekend

Yep both of those are on my todo list.

 

[Mostyn]

Is Will Rowlands likely to get drafted?

 

[noobermensch]

Lachie did his best Papley impression in this game, looking dangerous every time the ball entered the forward 50. He took marks, crumbed off contests and drew free kicks like all the best small forwards do.



Mutineer

 

[DaKids]

Is Will Rowlands likely to get drafted?

Has a national combine invite - I think he might be tied to suns as he’s a Darwin lad originally

 

[jackster83]

Lachie can also play midfield at a pinch even at AFL level like Papley, you just can't teach their kind of footy smarts.

Who was the last player we drafted with footy smarts?

Callinan?

 

[Crow till I die]

Who was the last player we drafted with footy smarts?

Callinan?

Rowe..just didn't have the pace at AFL level to be able to really use them effectively

 

[rabidcrow]

I hope we can get Gold Coasts pick and keep ours to use on Wilson.

That should be the goal. 2 top ten picks this year. Bring recruiting forward aka Melbourne as long as they feel a need/ right level of talent

The top 10 should still be quality.
I'd like Wilson and Duursma.

Maybe there was talks about it last year when we got boned for Rankine.

 

[1990crow]

Josh Rachele and Zac Taylor were both considered to have plenty of footy smarts and Jake Soligo is obviously not too shabby either.

Big off-season for Taylor. Hopefully gets fit and can be borderline best 22.

where do you see him going in the draft Bicks?
