Perhaps Draper has been giving out JHF vibes to recruiters. Good lad. I think JHF leaving after 1 year has made a few recruiters nervous of star SA youngsters. Let's hope so. Would be as good as when Chad slipped to us.
 
Re Ratugolea, hopefully kern took note of Aliir having to tell him to pick up his opponent when he was tried as a key defender, and then later in the season when he was played as a key forward and Georgiadis motioned to him to get out of the way!

Both those situations unfortunately reflected on the blokes lack of footy nous which should relegate him to a back up player in an emergency only, but as you suggest the kernster has been known to go back to the same well time and time again and then nothing changes but the date on the calendar, so I too have no great hopes for 2025.

I also expect Lord will get plenty of opportunities to become the `gorilla' forward to compliment the likes of Georgiadis and Luko, and he could rise to the occasion if he has a trouble free preseason and can hit the ground running.
Whether we draft a tall forward or Lord and Esava get first crack, it must be mentioned that whoever it is will more than likely be getting the 3rd best tall defender every week.

Hasn’t the indication been that his preference is to play in Victoria if anything?
 
And the last time we traded a future 2nd to move from 14 to 12 to get Sinn, were we even sure that Essendon were going to pick Sinn with 13? And hindsight suggests it wasn’t worth it.
It wasn't about moving ahead of Essendon.

It was about staying ahead of all the other clubs that West Coast were looking at trading pick 12 to.
 
I guess the Kangaroos have a plethora of young midfielders and that is on the menu at pick 2 where they really need key position players.

It doesn't surprise me if they want to drop down.

Someone like Lalor at 2 would be worthwhile for them to play as a fwd/mid
 
Where does Tauru play in the our team? Do we drop out Sinn again or play Tauru forward?

A backline of Bergman, Tauru and Logan Evans is versatile, athletic and tall.

He comes in and plays as a 3rd tall, Bergman maybe moves further up into the Houston role

Hypothetically speaking, based on C4’s information.

Richmond Bid on Ashcroft at #1 and trade #2 and #11 and #25 out and receive #14, #15 and #23.
Port trade #14 and #30 out, receiving #11 and #32
GWS Trade #15, #23 and #32, receiving #2, #25 and #30

?

So Richmond trade 2 and 11 down to 14 and 15 to get a 2 pick upgrade on 25?

I dont think youve thought this through
