Ratkins will be better than any of the noobs we pick up in this draft.

lel can you believe rory atkins is still on our list

Seriously though i really dont remember the last 5 picks that we have taken in the 20-40 range. Mason Shaw and Tom Clurey come to mind, seems our strategy is to stack the list with injury prone/high ex draft pick SA boys, players pick 50 onwards, random discards from other clubs and kids picked in the top 20.

Explains why we have a winning list but not a premiership list. No depth, trading potentially 3 top 40 picks for someone that could easily end up the next Butcher/Moore. Its all swings and roundabouts in hindsight in a few years time just food for thought

Apparently he's closer to nominating Saints than us atm. Obviously things can change in 12 months
I would highly doubt that…… all his friends and family live here and yes his father did play with St Kilda but that was a quarter of a century ago, Darryl is still involved in things at Alberton and the young bloke would have grown up knowing nothing but Port Adelaide.
 
Im that hot on Draper i just dont see how that happens. But it could go:

Rich - Smith
NM - Lalor
Carl - FOS
Ade - Langford
Mel - Armstrong
Rich - Smilie
StK - Reid
StK - Allan
Mel - Tauru
PA - Draper

That isnt out of the realms of possibility i guess
Inside word is North have a massive hard on for Tauru, hence their keenness to trade down with Richmond.
I reckon the Roos are gonna blink and take 6 + 18 for 2 where they will then get Tauru at 6. If not pick him at 2.
In no particular order the first six picks could be: Tauru, Smith, O’Sullivan, Lalor, Ashcroft, Langford & Draper where:

Tigers take FOS and Lalor.
Blues grab Draper.
Crows... Probably Smith. Langford? Smillie?
Dees are keen on Reid?
Roos take Tauru.
Saints grab Smilie and and maybe Reid at 8 & 9.

Leaving Bo Allen or Luke Trainor for a little later, hence the rumours we trade for pick 10 to trump the Eagles for Allen

I mean you can doubt it except for the fact that Darryl said it himself on radio haha

I hope we aren't moving up to grab Allan or Trainor and its actually to grab one of the names you mentioned for the other clubs

Seriously how in the hell do we trade up?
I just mathematically can’t see it.

I can't see us trading up for this reason too


Travaglia seems like a realistic first pick.

Then I think we will be hoping for Dodson or Gerreyn, and best available with the others.

Don't think Dodson will last till 29
Travaglia imo is quite underrated generally across the comp. Think Will Day. This kid has that about him. He'll start at HB sure which may annoy some here (and I totally understand why) but in long term, he can become a seriously good midfielder. There's huge upside with him so if we moved up to get him I wouldn't be upset.

Gerreyn more likely to be available at 29 than Dodson
