Curtin looks thrilled to be going to Adelaide. Will be back in Perth in 3 years. I am in no way a avid draft watcher so who do we take with pick 47? Small foward/key forward?

I see your Neilson and Walker and raise you with Garner, McKenzie and Harper.Yeh but I’ll always back who has produced more now over projecting project types with earlier picks
Later picks I’d take the latter view
We don’t go well reaching for players (see Neilson, Will walker etc) take the proven talent early
Let’s hope wil Dawson bucks the trend
Those two positions are my preference for the last couple of spots on the list.
We lost Turner, Mahony and Spicer this season and haven't picked up any replacement.
Outside of Larkey, Comben and potentially CCJ / Nyuon / Dawson we are pretty thin in the tall forward department.
What does interviewed poorly actually mean? Arrogant? Uninterested? Poor game knowledge? Revealed a lack of professionalism in preparation? All of the above?

Not against putting our future second on the table for one of the first few picks tonight
If we rate a needs player like A.Reid for example, it makes too much sense.Not against putting our future second on the table for one of the first few picks tonight
Logan Morris for mineIf we rate a needs player like A.Reid for example, it makes too much sense.
Stoked with all our picks. Confused as to why we took Goad with pick 20. Other than that. Good job Kangas. Goad and Dawson will probably play late 2025/26 seasons
I think you're being unfair to Daniel Curtin. I've watched a few interviews with him seems like a very level headed kid, doesn't really show too much emotion when talking. Just because he's not jumping around doesn't mean he's not happy.Jesus, he didn't look too happy on the night either when they picked him. Already pretty glad that we passed, although maybe that's unfair.
Have a look at the vision of what Goad does off the ball vs. Edwards. His ruck craft will only improve as will his skills, it’s his running capacity to cover the ground quickly that sets him apart. His not a plotter. He will take a bit of time, but his upside if we’re patient is very exciting.A for mine.
With our early picks I really think we couldn’t have done any wrong with any combination of McKercher, Duursma, Watson, Curtin or Sanders.
Goad probably went a little higher than I expected, but we jumped the queue to get ahead of Adelaide which was smart. I rated Edwards higher than him, but there are some big question marks on his character and he’ll end up going later on in the draft. With Goad’s athleticism and frame (he’ll be 105kg once he fills out) he legit has the potential to be the best ruck in the comp.
Dawson is one of the latest born draftees in this draft crop, I had him rated a bit lower but based on his output this year and our need for KP’s I can see why we pulled the trigger here. I really like his physicality, he plays with a real intensity that can’t be taught. Like Goad, there is a tonne of upside there.
I’ve always been a fan of Hardeman, early days I thought he’d be pushing the top 10. So I was thrilled to get him. Good character, leadership capabilities and has natural footy IQ. Gave us some genuine intercepting depth across half back too. With a bit of time and physical development, I would see him being a Jordan Ridley type across half back.
Potentially.. but you'd like clarko wanted Curtin after those long conversations
Thinking we aren't all that concerned with tall forwards. Comben and CCJ will be the main forwards (don't think that he is a lock for defence) pushed to partner Larkey but we have invested a lot on medium sized marking forwards similar to the Pies so I think we might be going down the mobile forward path.
Careful what you say TFW, sounds like you're saying they're project players.Not sure where or if we rate them but Archer Reid or Logan Morris as a developing key forward would be a solid closer for this draft haul.
There's an old saying in my profession....."The Greedy become the Needy".........had their opportunities to trade for more picks.I'm loving the melts on West Coke board.
They have just realised they only had one pick in the top 29 and it's gonna be a long long rebuild.
They are cursing that teams that finished above them have had multiple picks.

The crows offer wasnt that goodLooks like we did make a play for Curtin with two of our teen picks. No one was going to beat Crows offer.
