That shit was from Crowies Media . Kangas will be stupid not to do with Richmond in this strong draft rather than taking stink from crowes next year .
Dogs are not interested in him . Check their board . Because thy reckon he is too slow at junior level and would not stand a chance at AFL level . The reckon it will be waste of pick to spend on slow player .
I checked few days ago . I reckon it was page 54 and was not getting much love there. But their fans base may have good or bad opinions about Haynes .
I am assuming given we haven't nominated the F/S boys that we are targetting someone with a rookie pick.
My targets would be Polkinghorne and Ravenhill for KPF, Eastham and Toner for tall forwards. Hargrave and Luke Kennedy for mids. If we really wanted a HB I'd just take Burgoyne or Montgomery.

Yeah my point more so is that to most people, speed is the most important criteria in a player. Till my last day, I'll never see it that way. For me, disposal efficiency (in a positive way not backwards), ability to break tackles and ability to find space is superior. Speed is important for sure, but if someone has average speed like Hynes does, to go with the other attributes I've mentioned, they're a target for me. Especially in our midfield where we have lots of speed.
If I'm alone on this hill, so be it haha. Some of the best players in our game don't have breakaway speed
This whole narrative about leg speed is such sh1t.
Look at guys like Pendlebury, Swan just to name a couple. Not remotely quick.
The first few steps are in the head.
This applies to D.Williams aswell, it’s not just his leg speed that has him on the cusp.

Exactly my point! Pendles, Sidebottom, Gray even Bontempelli and Cripps who don't have that elite speed but just break tackles and give themselves space and time.
Would say Williams has an issue with endurance still at AFL level. Efforts sometimes may look average. I actually don't think Williams is slow. I think he's got average speed. But the thing that makes his disposals really good is the fact that he doesn't just blaze away when he has the ball and instead takes his time. But there are other deficiencies no doubt that's keeping him outside.
Just saw some content around Trainor and how the concussion issues are rumours and speculation (according to his Sandy coach). I don't know how true that is but assuming the club does due diligence on Trainor and he's fine, for me he's an equal 3rd option with our first pick behind Reid and Shanahan.
I would slide back and take that 16 and 21 deal. Would give us access to Trainor and one of Hynes/Dattoli/Hannaford.
If that were to happen, what are people's thoughts on moving Bergman into the MID/FWD role? Not wing! Centre bounce and forward in a rotating role with JHF and Rozee. And Trainor fits as the 3rd intercepting tall.

This seems clear.
Would love to hear from draft watchers if Whitlock can actually provide a 5 minute chop out at afl level?
The ability to gain seperation from your opponent in a pretty important as a medium forward.
Precisely, he can consistently break tackles and fend off to give himself the separation
I think he can give a chop out for sure but would say Gerreyn has way better ruck craft than Whitlock
Bennie the Nurse
Senior List
Really like the look of Kayle Gerryn , he is already an imposing physical beast……. but it’s his mobility that is impressive…….. he’s a genuine ruckman build with skills to be an asset up forward or around the field.
This is why I'd go Reid instead of Shanahan (assuming both are available) because I think Gerreyn has a high ceiling and can be taken with a later pick.
I wouldn't be surprised if Port went All WA after pick 13
Either Shanahan, Hamish Davis, Urquhart and Dennis
Or
Reid, Gerreyn, Davis and Dennis

Tallan Rosenzweig.
Suffered a seriously broken leg in 2023. Did an outstanding job to get back to playing good football this year.
Think he's worth wasting a bit of time on.

Decent shout, although I think I'd personally prefer him as a top ager next year after seeing how he goes at league level in 2025. Definitely something to work with and has good forward craft. Also needs a set shot coachTallan Rosenzweig.

Rookies we should be targeting with our ONLY selection in order:
- Jay Polkinghorne (SA) 191cm forward played primarily reserves for Norwood would be a great pickup.
- Thomas McKay (SA) 192cm defender can play either end could be a gem
- Josh Murphy (VIC C) 190cm strong bodied forward unlikely to be available at the rookie draft, kicked the most amount of goals at CLTs
- Harrison Ramm (SA) 201cm Key defender/ruck came equal first in the state combine 2km running 6:29 needs time to put on size but his versatility is key gives us potential ruck option to develop if Soldo tries to leave end of season 2025.
- Jacob Molier (SA) 201cm Ruck/Forward - another raw talent but something that could be worked on with both speed and athleticism his strengths

Feels like a straightforward decision that we should delist and re rookie a player so that we have an extra main list spot if we want to use it.
Like you said, highly doubt Murphy gets to Rookie Draft tbh.
We will also look at other states than just SA. Xavier Walsh is a recent example.
Polkinghorne is my favourite out of that. Surprised Hargrave isn't on your list! (Unless you think he goes in ND which is fair)
Use it on a SSP selection? I'd rather use it on a rookie pick tbh. We don't need another player like we had Mayes or Dumont or Sutcliffe in the past.
Yep. We should keep a fifth spot open for the main draft. It puts our last pick up say 20 spots to get someone rated like a Dennis or Josh Murphy.

Hargrave would be taken in the ND has been consistent throughout the years leading to his U18s. Its a shame he was inaccurate on goal during the Champs
SA talents are what I look at mostly but again if the club see's a player from interstate that is capable to be on a rookie spot like a Houston or Walsh thats great.
