We traded it to secure the pick for Brayden George.

Cheers

Pretty evident we need another KPB so we should be looking at Curtin with our first now.

Use Poorts first on Watson and our second on a KPF.

Hopefully Sanders is allocated NGA too.

Rookie list a project Ruck or use future picks to trade for one.

I'm pretty certain Sanders will go top 20 (especially if he keeps up his current output), so you can pretty much rule him out of the NGA picture.

 

[Shermanator]

We don’t have our second.

We traded our second and our PP.

Fair call.

Haven’t the Dogs been kissed on the dick with F/S and NGA’s recently. They’ve got two first rounders this year too..

I somehow doubt Brisbanes Pick will end up pick 5 and theirs ends up pick 3.

NM/PA R1 remains the best combo of 2 R1 picks imo.

I think we end up with a top 5 pick from ours and a late top 10 from Poort.

SA TEEN ON THE RISE

AFL clubs in need of key forward help have a new name to follow throughout this season, with the emergence of Central Districts target Liam Fawcett.

Fawcett finished last year strongly – kicking 14 goals in his last five under-18 games – and has picked up where he left off, including racking up 27 disposals, 14 marks and 13 score involvements, and kicking 3.4, on Saturday against South Adelaide.

The 17-year-old is a big, powerful forward whose contested marking has come on in leaps and bounds, and recruiters are also impressed with his work rate and significant improvement in the past 12 months.
Fawcett appears to thrive in pressure moments, too, slotting a game-winner from a set shot in the dying seconds against Norwood last season.

Can't find anything on Fawcett's height. They throw the word key forward around a lot, but often these kids aren't key forward height.

Looks pretty tall in this video.

Only omission is George Stevens

Are we doing this to take everyone’s eyes off the player we really think we can get.

Nice dukes!

 

[year of the roo]

theres a kid from wesley college tom winneke, think he was eligible last year but have heard around he has a big upside. can run, can kick, can tackle. not in any nab team yet, but i think we might see him come through mid year if he peforms well in APS.

Solid first post, Tom. Can't imagine what your angle is, Mr Winneke.

 

[Souup]

Just want to be on the record as saying Nick Watson is a freak and I'd use pick 2 on him.

Hope like anything he's on our list by years end.

Boomer 2.0 with him moving into the midfield.

Going to be one hell of a damaging player in transition with the space at AFL level.

If we can get him with Port's R1 pick and still get one of Curtain/A.Reid/Duursma, I will consider that daylight robbery.

Other than Boomer, I can’t recall a player is his stature that can kick the ball as far him. Can genuinely kick 50+m with relative ease.

 

[Mav]

Will Patton at 13, FMD. Watched him closely last weekend and racked up cheap possession taking kick ins and had very little influence. Mean while his direct opponent had 28 touches and 5 inside 50's.

Thats a hot take, but you can go hotter ... "Nick Watson is the best player in this draft"

Haven't read too much about the 2023 draft crop but heard there appears to be a clear number 1 (Reid?). Given we have currently have 2 first rounders and don't finish bottom would the club that does be open to say our pick 5, port pick 10 and our future first in exchange?

If it was an interstate team then maybe. But I wouldn't do that trade as North. I wouldn't even trade 5 and 10 for 1. This is a good draft.

If Reid was in the last 3 years drafts, he’d be the sort of player you’d do that for, but this year there’s so much value in the top 10. Imo Moir, Curtin and Duursma could all very well be pick 1 level prospects compared to drafts gone by, I.e. better than a Cadman. And then it almost feels like theres 15 guys who can all be top 10 level talents besides them.
