Lol I wasn't considering them with a 1st round selection or anything, was thinking pick 57 or whatever it ends up being if we use it, there could be a late gem perhaps. I knew all the others mentioned in the article like Shoenmaker, Leake, Charlie Edwards, Moir and George Stevens.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Bodie Ryan was one of SA’s best in the champs. Strong marking neat half back.

Lorenz was being talked about as a top ten pick earlier in the year but just don’t kick on as expected, still some talent there though.

O’Driscoll is a small hard running midfielder who has a bit of pace. Was one of WA’s best performed players at the champs too.

Ok thanks, didn't know much about them, obviously knew the more mentioned names like Shoenmaker, Roberts, Stevens etc.

 

[Val Keating]

Any of these guys any good below? They've been mentioned as some underrated names in the draft.
Will Graham, Oscar Ryan, Kristian Ferronato, Will Lorenz, Bodie Ryan, Cooper Simpson, Aidan O'Driscoll.

I know one of Lorenz’s coaches, he has a really high ceiling, could be anything. Form is all over the place though.

 

[Val Keating]

The trading up to pick 1 discussion is exhausting.

This is what happens when Brady has a day off.

Holly shit, the media over there basically runs PR for the Eagles. No wonder their players got away with so much in the past.

If they want Reid so badly why don’t they just put it to bed and say they won’t be trading pick 1? No one is forcing them to trade it. If they want him so badly you’d think they’d start pumping him up as an Eagles player…

TBF though, its only Mitchell Woodcock

For some reason, the idea of Trading Pick 1 is personally insulting for him

There's no reason that can't be agreed to early next week. Get everyone in a room Brady and get it done.

Don’t write off Lorenz. AFL clubs are fully aware it was a very disruptive year for the Oakleigh boys. Lorenz is talented but we didn’t see the best of him and others due to the instability.

If Geelong are happy to do that, I'm keeping 2 and 3, and going to the draft with 3 in the top 10, and 25

what's the back story there?

Whatever you are talking about it didn’t seem to impact the elite under agers like O’Sullivan, Gross & Smith.

The reason that doesn't happen is that it's a bad deal for us.

I reckon that’s probably the most realistic and fair suggestion I’ve seen.

I’m not writing him off. Oakleigh almost did though..

What was the instability The_General#1 ?

 

[shinboner magic]

Shaun Mannagh has done a medical at the dogs

Our pick 57 should be before the dogs second pick when they match Croft bid

 

[northbergs]

For me, 2,3 and for 1 is the only way this gets done with West Coast (if at all). We still go in with 1, 15, 17 & 18 which in any other year we’d be going nuts about!

Geez, they're weird units over in the west. Explains a lot of the WC posters low IQ though.

It's a bad deal for Geelong too.

With that without trading WC we have pick 2,3, 8 and 25. I'm OK with that.

 

[Eggs11]

The smart move for Brady would be to start making an overt play for Geelong’s pick 8. If WC is holding out for a better offer they’d realise they risk getting no deal at all. It would force them to contemplate the deal on the table or acknowledge they’re not actually seriously interested in trading.

What was the instability The_General#1 ?

Well I don’t think it’s a secret why. From Davenport leaving for a bigger role at GWS 1 week b4 the season starting. Which led to 5 or 6 head coaches for the season. Including the appointed head coach being released 4 weeks out from the end of the season. From what I hear it wasn’t until lockyer took over that they started watching 1:1 development vision and this is when the top age boys started to appear in the best players. So clubs are looking at them with a bit more flexibility in their development.
