Cream of the draft? Thats Reid, Walter and McKercher, and potentially Curtin. Watson/Sanders are in the next bracket along with Windsor etc. I don't see the point unless you've got a specific need. Sanders and Watson don't really fit that bill.

What are you basing this off? So the hawks and dogs full-time recruiting teams who have watched these kids all year and poured over hours of footage and conducted hours of interviews are rumoured to be picking up Watson and Sanders despite being a bracket below Curtin?

 

[danster168]

Watson doesn’t fit the bill? Did you not watch our recent final series with * all creativity up forward?

Spot on. Watson looks like a gun to me. would be stoked to get him. He might be able to show Kozzie a thing or 2 about doing the basics well.

 

[Crusty Demon]

I hope we pick 2 random units from some far flung bush leagues at this point

Marty Hore pick 6?

 

[mrmonkey]

I feel tonight might be the most unpredictable draft night's in a while. Top 3 seems set but after that who knows? If everything stays the same we probably end up with Windsor and Tholstrup but the live trading will be interesting. Seems more talk about it than usual. Having said that now, probably nothing interesting will happen.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

At this point I don’t care much who we pick other than we shouldn’t be taking Sanders. But if we throw away a F1 to move up a spot or two that would be troubling.

 

[excitingnews]

We will get there F2 back anyway, pick 23ish. So it’s basically us trading 2024 pick 18 for hawks 2024 pick 23.

5 pick downgrade for a 2 pick upgrade.

Would do it any day of the week to upgrade Windsor to Watson/Sanders.

Going from a good wingman to cream of the draft.

We swapped our F2 with Collingwood’s

Classic Bigfooty poster TheBoss
, talks about a rumour than goes missing without clarifying anything beyond that.

Your BF experience will be much more enjoyable if you put that one on ignore

It’s hard to get enthused about Windsor and Tholstrup after the trade with Gold Coast. Could have more than likely got both guys with the picks we already had then used 27 and 35 on some decent kids too.

Ashton Moir is the standout at that range for mine and it also looks like a lot of the kids touted as top 10 or 15 picks during the year will still be available at those picks too.

I’ll back in Taylor and Lamb though, they’ve got the runs on the board.

yeah we basically threw away 27 and 35 for nothing. I think it was a big mistake.

 

[ozzy2012]

Seems a few clubs in talks to get up the order to have a crack at Curtain.

such as who? he was listed as pick 10 to cal twomey

Gave up 2 2nd rounders to move from pick 14 up to 11, only to draft a bloke no one had in the top 15 of rankings anyway.

 

[Scythe94]

Weird coincidence that both of my sporting teams (Melbourne and Orlando) have had Picks 6 and 11 in the draft this year.

Goes well with the coincidence of Melbourne being full of players who can't execute a fundamental skill (kicking) and Orlando being full of players who can't execute a fundamental skill (shooting). Both teams are hyper-defensive in style, too.

Anyone else have any strange links between their favourite teams?

They both went out in straight sets.

Rankings weeks and months out from the draft really don't mean much, especially from journos.

Curtin has been top 3-4 all year, now could go as low as 10. Wilson has been on the cusp of the top 10, now has slipped as far 20 for some (including Twomey). Leake was barely on the radar a while back, now will likely go top 10. Charlie Edwards will likely go top 20, nobody had heard of him two months ago. Moir was seen as a top pick earlier in the year, now will be buried in the second round most likely. The list goes on.

 

[Scythe94]

They both went out in straight sets.

Oooh yes how could I forget!

Not quite the same, but Orlando also lost in the first round the last four times they made the playoffs, too ️

Kind of feeling the same way now tbh. But I guess we were only using a couple of picks, so at least at 6 and 11 we have a good say in who we want. I think we moved up to seriously have a crack at Reid, which didn't work.

Anyone know what time the draft starts?

Presume it’s on Foxtel.

I think 7pm

 

[pjfairbairn]

But we're not reaching for Windsor if we believe that GWS will take him at the next pick if we don't?

Awesome thanks a lot

 

[TheBoss]

GWS have different considerations though. They will reach for players if they are confident that they are not a flight risk.

See Cadman last year.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Even if it's correct mail that we're leaning to picking Kolthrup with second pick, based on what Taylor has said about picking best available there may well be someone left on the board at our pick who we didn't expect and who we rate higher. I think there's plenty of room for surprises in this draft because after pick 3 it looks pretty unclear which order everyone will rate the next 10-15 picks in.

 

[jhong]

Would not be surprised if Curtin goes to the Hawks or Kangas . TBO i have no idea what will happen tonite .
