Thanks to Lore for this great resource

Murphy Reid would be amazing but I have this feeling the saints are just gonna call him out at their pick 7/8. Look at their midfield and I just cant see how they don’t take a ready made mid.

Its exciting to have a relevant pick at the draft this year after a boring last couple years. Sucks that it cost us Houston but hope we make the most of this.

Turning Houston into Reid/Shanahan/Armstrong/Hotton plus Mraz or Barrett (or trade up for Trainor) would be good business in the end.

Thomas Sims is a commanding forward presence. I'd be happy with him as our second pick.

I dont mind day-wicks as a late pick.

I think Travaglia is going to be a gun but we won't get him.

Re Lindsay, Your view is different to mine.
Terrific long leg.
Very scrappy with the ball inside and lacks toughness and agility.
Ball use has no touch.
You made me go back and look at a game. 22 disposals, 8 go to a team mate, 4 turnovers , and 10 loose balls.
His ball security is shocking in the games I watched him.
Consistently run down from behind including what should have been a highlight centre clearance with a shot on goal and was rundown before getting outside the centre square.

To be fair I grabbed a game frome tom gross.
23 disposals, 12 go to a team mate, 3 turnovers, 8 loose balls. No releasing of the ball insides. Clean hands .
Very different players. Gross a genuine mid. Lindsay looks like he will be outside wing.

Watched a lot of his games and think you might've picked a bad one to watch haha

The other option for me is Charlie West later. But that depends on how we go with the first 2 picks.

Ok I went and watched another Gerryn game, in this game I can at least see why some people like him. Marked better, kicked very well, showed some poise.
However I still fall back to not for me. I just don't think he will cope with the speed of AFL.

Its interesting, for the Saints I would say a Bo Allan type is more of a need because their midfield/HBs are good ball users in NWM, Phillipou, Clark, Sinclair, Hill etc. With the ever-injured nature of Crouch and Jones, I would say they need someone to partner with Steele in that midfield to win some contests. Thats Allan's strength, while his disposal is average, his ball winning abilities suit them well.

Tauru maybe is a need because of the loss of Membrey and Battle, but I certainly wouldn't be taking Travaglia if I were Saints given he's at least a year away from being in the midfield

Crows picking Draper will spoil my night.

Why? He’s likely to be a slider and the last ranked mid in the top 20.

Geoff Parker on AA tonight when questioned about Murphy Reid.

Very very giddish.
Half let it slip that if he was available he would be the one!

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he went earlier”

“You never know, you might get a nice surprise that he comes to us”

Is there a podcast? I can't find one

The Age has switched focus from Whitlock to Armstrong for Port now too. Apparently he didn't interview well. Parker mentioned He's a pretty relaxed customer. Maybe he isn't as focused on his football as clubs would like?

On the other hand Matthew Lloyd rates him as the best contested mark of any young tall forward he has worked with. Lloyd also said he is a man of few words so maybe the recruiters didn't like that.

Does Armstrong’s slide end here? He was long considered a top-10 pick, but how he came across in interviews appears to have hurt his stock. Likened to Jeremy Cameron

, Armstrong is a good athlete with a mix of speed and endurance who works up the ground and is strong aerially, so the Power could get a bargain here.

He was in hospital last year recovering from a staph infection and left hospital to cheer on his Haileybury team-mates in the grand final.

Come around to thinking if Shanahan is gone maybe Port are too invested in Whitlock and his up side over Armstrong.


It's an insane choice to have at 13 though.


Armstrong just shouldn't be there.

Then Reid or some elite talent will slip in to our pick . Why we have to take Whitlock ?
