And McGovern and yeo desperately wanted to play for freo….
I hope we get in front of them with norths second and snake them, either that or take Coen Livingstone who they seem to be trying to keep under wraps

Well there we go. Draft Aiden O'Driscoll, plug him into the wing/fwd roles, inject Nathan O'Driscoll into the stoppages for a bit of big bodied chaos in there as well as giving us a very quick clearance running forward out of them and he can even just play defensive mid roles so Fyfe/Serong can win the ball and start the chain while he keeps his opponent away from it.
He had a great quarter. So did Sanchez and Hardeman. That may be our options at our first pick. Commentator said Aiden usually has great skills so that is great on top of everything else he brings.
For mine, Delean was the genuine crumbing goal kicker out there today - got in really good positions, he probably will go 15-20 but if he falls through we definitely should be looking. Sanchez was good in the first half (two goals) and a better kick than O'Driscoll; O'Driscoll was probably the hardest runner on the ground though and setup a bit of stuff in the second half - both are interesting but for mine more sort of pick 35 onwards.
26 possessions to Daniel Curtin as a massively tall midfielder that took I think 6 tackles as well stood out for mine as well as Edwards dominance in the ruck and generally around the ground. Clay Hall was also dominant in the centre and his kicking was pretty reasonable and Hardeman off half back was very good without being dominant. Also Tholstrup had his moments with high half forward attacks on the ball and good delivery but didn't make it onto the scoreboard. Livingstone was good in the first quarter but disappeared after that.
But let's bear in mind this wasn't the greatest SA team.
Glad to hear O'Driscoll and Sanchez are possibly pick 35 +
I think Clay Hall is a hard running midfielder we could use. Hardeman looks great
Not the greatest SA side but these are the many if the same WA players that stood out against the Allies imo.

Didn't know Troy Longmuir had a son playing footy.
Ohh that would be convenient - I have dogs named Fyfe and Mundy, and a cat named Taj. He would make a welcome addition to the family

With our pick selection we should be looking at the WA boys.
Hall would fit our midfield perfectly when Fyfe and O’Meara are gone or in
decline.
I like he played wing as a junior, but the other boys all sound reasonable.
After Henry’s game against the Bombers I still think he will replace Walters.
Which includes midfield minutes, the same as Sonny at his best.
Forward line of Amiss, Treacy, Jackson is good enough for a flag.
Just need to ensure a hardness at the contest, it’s really our only Achilles.

Jed Walter looks like a phenomenon.
Charlie Curnow like and he’s already as big as him. Eagles would have been thrilled to access him if he was in the open draft. It’s also kinda funny that’s he’s an Eagles fan
It’s beyond horseshit that Gold Coast get access to him coz of their silly academy.
3 academy guys in the top 12-15 heading to GC - farcical

The AFL want GC and GWS to succeed and they will trample over our bones if needed to get it done. They don’t give a flying cuck about usJed Walter looks like a phenomenon.

In all likelihood Gold Coast will bleed talent in the next 5 years because they have too much top end again. Wouldn't be surprised, for example, if King leaves next year.

I’d agree with this.
However I wouldn’t be surprised if they get an extra million in their cap over everyone else. Nothing would surprise me at this stage.
very clever lol it's Taj Burrows, but I'm prepared to change it to Taj Longmuir lol

I forgot we held an early second round pick this year, so maybe the draft isn't quite as irrelevant for us as I thought. So here's my top 30 for anyone interested...
I still have a lot of questions over this draft. Particularly around the KPPs - other than Jed Walter. I think it'll really open up once the picks are into the teens, which is probably good for us considering where our picks are.
One good thing is that I don't think it's a great draft for West Coast to be rebuilding in. I'm really not sure what I'd do if I was them. Maybe aim for Edwards and Curtin as talls, I wouldn't drop too far though - the next tier of WA guys probably aren't the types that you build a team around.
For us? I'd love Jack Delean as a genuine x factor small forward. I'd steal Lance Collard from West Coast too, although I do rank him higher than most. Riley Hardeman, Kolsytn Tholstrup and Clay Hall will all likely be around that mark too. And I wouldn't rule out Ashton Moir being available either.
