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?
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.
Yeah I saw Davidson listed at 191 and I thought he was taller.
Travaglia is one that I love in this draft, but we don't need him.
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 impact
Hipwood sucks, he'd be a seconds player on basically any other team including ours.
Yep. Not a fan either.
I know it doesn't get much more simplistic than reading the player comparisons on the Phantom Draft but the Nick Riewoldt comparison for Jobe Shanahan has me excited.
Describes himself as someone the crashes packs, takes marks and is a good set shot kick at goal.
Ok where do we sign?
Having said that i still think going smaller with either Berry or Reid would be good too.
Basically anyway that we can strengthen our ability to hit the scoreboard i support.

I just want the Crows to overlook Draper so he is free to say that he didn't want to go there. Also so he can come to us later when he wants to come home.

I'm happy with any of shanahan, reid and Travaglia at 13. Surely one of them is there.

Does Cal Twomey's phantom draft come out later today?
Addy23 - I really like Reid, Shanahan, Berry, Hotton, Travaglia and Armstrong at 13. Therefore, if only one was available at 13, I wouldn’t split that pick. If two were, however, I might consider splitting with GWS for 16 and 21 but not with anyone else.
My logic is if there is a chance of getting 2 of my top 13 by splitting 13, I will split 13. If I risk missing all of my top 13 I won’t do it. If I’m doing a pick swap, I would also swap 50 for a very late pick as insurance for Benny. I don’t want anyone pouncing on him at 50+ and not being able to match.
Who is on your “really like at 13” list that would lead you to try and split 13, if 2 or more were were available, using my logic. Also, is there anyone in the frame at 13 who, if available, you simply wouldn’t risk a split. For me Smillie and Allan are but not the 6 above. You?
Finally, what are the chances GWS do this swap: 13, 36, 50 for 16, 21, 74 or a variant of 13 for 16 and 21?
PS I completely ignore Kako Lombard Ashcroft and other FS and Academy prospect from my rankings, numbers etc- useless distraction as they will definitely be matched.

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).

That's what I was thinking
Shanahan and Reid would likely play round 1 for us?

Don't really follow the draft prospects as much as a lot of you guys. I just watched Shanahan highlights for the first time. I want him badly. It is very obvious he is a naturally skilled footballer. If he available, 100% we better take him over Whitlock (if we are going tall with our first pick).

Flick pass expert
Been impressed with Angus Clarke since I heard him on AA sports show on 31st October and then looked at a bit of vision of him and read his stuff on RookiemeCentral where they have him #35 on their Power Rankings.
At 188cm he was able to play KPD and swing forward in U/18 comps, but he will be a flanker at AFL level.
We don't really need another HBFer, but the kid wont be a flakey flanker type.
Lives on a dairy farm, did year 12 this year, still worked on the family farm and drove 4 hours from near Mount Gambier to play for Glenelg. If we get him at either 29 or 36 reckon he will be a good get.
Can see Geelong targeting him, they like the country lads and its not much difference in driving time between Mount Gambier and either Adelaide of Geelong to get back and see the family during footy season.
ABC have done a story on country kids who've had to make sacrifices to have a crack at getting drafted and he is the main player profiled.
www.abc.net.au
"I did my first class lesson in PE [physical education] and then drove home to dad and dad took me up every Wednesday," he said. "I stayed there that night and then left the next morning at four o'clock to get back to school and work." Two days later, the journey would repeat again. "Then I fly up on Fridays to get back to training if I make the side, and then yeah play either Saturday or Sunday," he said.
After speaking to several AFL clubs in the lead up to the draft, the speedy defender could be forgiven for dwelling on his future but life on the farm has kept him busy. "I cut firewood in my spare time, that's good fitness for me," he said. "Get the axe and do shear a bit as well ... I do the jobs that dad doesn't want to do."
Here is his AA interview. Goes between 1.05 and 6.15 and then interview Charlie West for 6 minutes.

For teenage AFL draft prospects, the big league is often the reward for going the extra mile
Angus Clarke spent this past winter making an eight-hour round trip twice a week to play his beloved footy. He's one of many regional young footballers sacrificing time and money to get noticed and will soon find out whether his efforts will be rewarded with an AFL draft pick.

Reid if he's any good.
Shanahan I don't remember a key position player playing round one at Port?
Georgiades did against GC in the round 1 game of 2020 (just prior to COVID lockdown). Might have kicked a couple including a nice mark on the lead from a Duursma chip pass.
The crows overlooking Draper is a bold strategy given their track record with Vic kids early in the draft.
that being said I'm surprised its Smith and Langford on their radar and not Smilie. I thought they would be all over the big bodied midfielder.

Maybe he is the faullback faull forward, if Shanahan and Whitlock go earlier.
Because Charlie Dixon picked up an injury.

They want pace.
As long as it is not a Faull from grace
Neither Collingwood nor Geelong have a pick in the first two rounds of the draft, but I wonder how many from those rounds end up playing there.
