Yea I was wondering about this.
On the AFL form it says lodgement for F/S & NGA's is Thursday 31st of October
Maybe the club will release a statement on Monday regarding who they nominated.

Analysis for Charlie.
“A contested marking key forward who presents at the ball full-chested, combining speed and strength while also chopping out in the ruck.”

Charlie West Draft Profile
Woodville-West Torrens key forward Charlie West is a strong contested marker who attacks the ball with vigour.

i dont know if the difference betwen Allan/travaglia vs Hotton is enough to warrant us trading out 29 in a deep draft. i would only do this if a reid, smillie or tauru slid.
Maybe we're not nominating anyone?
Would say somewhere from 40 onwards but more like around 50
I highly doubt it. I'd have loved us to if we had an extra pick in that range and a list spot. But we have 3 rucks already and we might lose 29 which would mean there's no chance
I definitely would get Dodson at 29ish. He will take a few years to get going and by then Soldo will be gone.
My only issue is we have more immediate needs over a ruck but I wish that wasn't the case

If only Soldo went back to Vic as intended, I would have loved to draft Dodson at 29 assuming he still is there by then. Having 4 rucks in the squad with 3 of them playing in the magpies isn't ideal and would hinder their development.
My issue isn't that we would have 4 rucks in general. My issue is that we would have 4 rucks while having other deficiencies that won't be filled if we took Dodson at 29, assuming he slipped through
We just had to lodge by 31 October
They have a couple of weeks to accept
Won’t hear news I assume until the players give green light
One would've thought they wouldn't have lodged them if they didn't already know they would be accepted
Hotton and Trainor not in first rd of selections as they didnt get invite to opening draft night.

I agree. Port has some deficiencies and constantly trying to plug it up with B/C grade talent has only shown how badly exposed we are at the pointy end of the season. Doesn't help that for whatever reason the team's intensity fails to lift a touch or two and has to be emotionally driven to get to that level which isn't sustainable in the long run.
Yeah can see Trainor slipping, there's some big concerns amongst recruiters about his concussions apparently. Hotton will be a first rounder no doubt, so weird he didn't get an invite
Ken's already insisting we draft him at 13, just to make sure we don't miss.Analysis for Charlie.

Charlie West Draft Profile
Woodville-West Torrens key forward Charlie West is a strong contested marker who attacks the ball with vigour.
Won't even have to learn a new name for his game plan.
Just thinking out of the box, we need an inside midfielder, not immediately but for the future. It would be wise to delist a Cat A rookie like McEntee or Williams and open up an extra spot for Ollie Francou. I think with time he could become a solid inside midfielder. This would save us a pick in the top 40 and focus on other needs, maybe even allow us to get Dodson if he gets to 29. Ollie only started putting in consistent performances in the 2nd half of the season but the potential is there. And it'd come at no cost.
As it stands I don't think we'll draft Montgomery or Francou but would've liked to take Francou for sure. He fills a bigger need over Burgoyne and Montgomery.

North firming to hold on to pick 2.
Melbourne and Saints now keen on Tauru so apparently not worth the risk of trading down.
( Melbourne and Saints maybe playing games to bluff North into using 2 so a player they want slides?)
Ashcroft to one side.
1. Richmond takes Lalor.
2. North takes Tauru.
3. Carlton now has a call on Jagga/FOS/Draper and all of a sudden everyone wants Bo?
Someone is sliding to 10 if a deal can be done?
The other way Hotton isn't in the 1st round I'd trade down and go for
Hotton
Dodson
Mraz

Hope this is true and makes our choice easier
If this Charlie has talent, that would fill a need on the list big time.
At 195cm, unless he has a growth spurt, he won't be playing ruck at AFL level.

Trainor
3 concussions in 2 years?
Last one "mild." Not sure about the mild thing with concussion?
**** he's hard to go past on talent.
