Sorry to intrude but thought id give my view on thisGWS picks.
I wonder who gws would be jumping up for since they have 15, and who they don’t expect to be there.
In isolation I don’t mind that pick swap, but can’t see shanahan lasting to 16 so I’m not sure if we should do that if we want a kf.
After the 2 highest rated kpf I’m not sure there’s as much between the rest.
Ie if I can have one Whitlock or 2 of sims , west Nicholls barrat ofarrell etc with later picks the second option sounds better.
Would make sense, it would be interesting to see how this pans out because if Freo really want Berry they may give up 14 and 30 for 13 onlySorry to intrude but thought id give my view on this
I firmly believe GWS would have their eye on Berry & Hotton or Travaglia
But Berry would be my guess and the chance he would be still available at #15 would be low with fremantle desperate for a good small foward like Berry that suits them perfectly and have pick #14 so GWS would want to get just ahead on draft night.
Well call him HaroldTwomey also linked us with Harry Oliver, who would be more likely to be there at 21 than 29. And GWS are linked to him with 21.
That would be pretty darn good but I'd go bonkers for Shanahan and Hannaford.Is there a universe where you could turn picks 16 and 21 into Shanahan and Hynes?
Addy23 Who is Brarat? what position?
At 21, you'd have to think seriously about Trainor.
My personal view is that the club won't take such a risk when we have Todd Marshall on our list who could have his career wiped out in the space of 30 seconds. While I do rate Trainor, and without the concussions, I think he's a top 10 pick, I would be surprised if we picked him.It's an incredibly good pick up for nothing or a couple of concussions away from a waste.
It's about the mark he's just too talented to not take the risk.
Pick 16 and 21 becomes 19 and 24. I don't see a universe where Shanahan is available at 19. Hynes yes. If we picked him as Dattoli using those picks (assuming Shanahan isn't available) it would be a good start to our draftIs there a universe where you could turn picks 16 and 21 into Shanahan and Hynes?
I don't think I could do it and I really love Trainor.It's an incredibly good pick up for nothing or a couple of concussions away from a waste.

Huge fan of Dennis, very underrated imo. I would even stretch and get him at 36.I'm really liking Clancy Dennis later.
If its not Shanahan or Reid, we have to trade back. Whitlock is a big question and Faull for me, in the long term, will be a Dixon type player and I'm sick of the bombing entries. Nothing against Faull as a player I think he's a good prospect. Whitlock I just have big question marks on.I would think if we were willing to trade back we will be taking one of the talls - Shanahan / Whitlock / Faull. I wouldn't expect us to go tall again at 21, especially if we are keen on players like Hannaford and Oliver.
If someone ridiculous fell down the rankings like Smillie as per Goodoil's phantom draft, then there would be no trade. Probably the same for Armstrong and possibly Shanahan depending how good their intel is on Freo.
Remembering GWS and Freo would both still have picks before 16, although you think we would have a guarantee from GWS who they were taking at 15.
