If we are not putting work into Faull they are not doing their job. .
A mid that I like is Gross if we are looking for one at 29/36 . I hope we just go tall with the first three.
Jack Whitlock looks like a nice footballer. The problem with that is I like my talls to have a physical edge to them and I am not sure he has it. Skills are there but he is more your third tall forward who you can run through ruck. At 13 I would hate to pick him. At 36 I would have a swing at him if a number of other talks have been taken.The comment read like we had upped our work into him recently, Twomey has been linking us to Shanahan/Whitlock/Faull for a while. That's why I wonder if we are considering a few scenarios with pick #13.
Gross looks like a hard nut (Angove looked a bit feisty too).
Davidson looks interesting, is he 190cm as listed? I saw some highlights where he rucked, looks a high energy player. Read he is studying medicine at Monash Uni.
What is your take on Jack Whitlock?
Not sure how he sits at the moment, but as of end of 2023 Hipwood had the lowest AFL ratings points of any player to play 100 games in the last seven years. I'm not arguing that AFL ratings are the be all and end all of analysis, but it is indicative of his lack of impactHipwood is the #1 key forward in the current premiership team and would easily get a game for us. Not sure this is the criticism it is intended to be.

Yep. Not a fan either.Hipwood sucks, he'd be a seconds player on basically any other team including ours.
I'm happy with any of shanahan, reid and Travaglia at 13. Surely one of them is there.It's looking more likely that one of Shanahan or Reid fall to our pick. If we let either slip past, we'd be absolute fools.
I'd still go Reid, with Gerreyn at 29. But if it is Shanahan I wouldn't be mad either. Just don't know who we'd take in that case with 29, maybe it is Clarke which I also wouldn't mind as a player but as a need it's not a priority.
There's also interest in Polkinghorne from Collingwood it seems to take him using one of their 3 picks from 50s. Would've loved him at Port in the rookie draft.
Can’t find the answer for sure, but I would think so, because a second ‘late mail’ one is usually released the night before the draft (it was last year).Does Cal Twomey's phantom draft come out later today?
