Pick 29 - Western Bulldogs - Hamish Davis (Claremont/ WA)
Pick 30 - West Coast - Christian Moraes (Eastern Ranges/ VIC M)
He played wing and half forward in the vfl. Perhaps you think he’s a third tall because unlike Kmac he will run forward and kick multiples goalsSammy the star Davidson was overlooked by every club. He's a 191 3rd tall forward. I guess competing with Bauer, LeFau, Kosi, Fawcett, Ryan, Gray, Balta. Tom Brown even played forward. We rated Gray over our own Dr. Davidson.
Kmac plays wing ~ no competition with Davidson. Mid season draft a hit and more miss.
I hope a high quality top 24 KPF is on the cards.
9 spots to fill. See what we do with free agents.
The Tigers wouldn't be so stupid to pick Tauru at 6 and every other list manager knows it.He's trying to put the wind up North with the Tauru pick, no point trading with the Saints if we take him. If North really want Tauru and don't trade then they'll have to miss out or use pick 2 on him which would suit us.
I get the idea of building our spine with a KPF, Ruck/Forward, Ruck and a KPD, but I think we can fill 3 of those spots through trading and FA. We really do need a quality Ruck/Forward, of the talls probably the highest priority.
What we're crying out for is quality users of the ball all over the ground, a bit of speed attached would be handy, players like Lindsay, Berry, Oliver and Hotton should be high on our hit list.
*Edit.....I'm not sold on Allan whatsoever, his role when playing mid was purely defensive, once he got the ball he tears off like a hairy goat, there's not a great deal of nous in his disposals after that. Travaglia sort of fits the same bill, they both are good picks but not where we have ours, we really have the opportunity of picking they eyes out of that 2nd tier of players, especially after the Saints and Dees have had their snouts in the trough.
We need to consider the likely picks in 2025, which is a fair chance to influence selections this draft. I’ve got no idea of next year but it’d be a miracle if we don’t have a top-3 pick. If a mid is likely next year then taking an extra prime KPP in this draft if we really like them when the chance presents makes sense.
It’s like the Roos … bottom 2 for 5 x years straight and are still crud in the KPP department as they’ve just taken midfielders and galore.
I’m not saying we ignore mids, and I think we will take mids with picks 1 and 6 - but don’t be surprised if we also go KPP heave whilst there are some great prospects at both ends of the ground available.
A list build takes 3-4 years .. not one.

If his running action was fixed would that take pressure off his acl Surely we could send him off to the experts we send Gibcus.Just also wondering about his running action. Very long strides with some heal striking there I think, and it is possible this has led to his ACL problem. In the picture captured below he is turning/decelerating but that doesn't look a great position to put your leg in when running at speed. It is a bit hard to tell from the footage, other times he seems to strike the ground in a safe enough position under his body. The worry is definitely that ACL and we can see from the bandaging on his knee here the ACL is clearly not the first issue he has had. Very slippery looking player so if he was sound he would be a great prospect. A bit like Peter Matera?

Here’s another on the draft board with blueiris taking our picks. Once again, no trades.Every mock draft I see where we stick with our current picks is strikingly underwhelming.
Won’t have to cross that midfielders bridge with 6 I reckon as the way Rawlings has acted with your list management, and the report we’ve been talking to Port about our pick 10, gives a reasonable indication that our clubs have some kind of trade in mind for pick 2. Whether that eventuates or not may depend on other clubs in Port and GWS getting involved to make it acceptable to North and Richmond.The Tigers wouldn't be so stupid to pick Tauru at 6 and every other list manager knows it.
Your midfield needs at least two potential guns from this draft and you ain't getting them after pick 6.

Has to be Jagga.
"Small changes lead to big results"Call me old fashioned, but I reckon if it's not broke, why try to fix it?
Unless we get an offer we just can't refuse
I don’t reckon there’s many better options than Allan at 10/11.The link to Bo Allan has be nervous and confused. I really don’t rate him and wouldn’t have him as a top 20 prospect.
Can someone who likes him please explain what it is they like? Or at least link me to a nice highlights package. Every one I watch leaves me more and more disappointed.
He’s athletic but we aren’t recruiting for a decathlon. His poor ball use is impossible to ignore.
There are such better prospects (and other priorities we need to address) at 10 + 11.
Let’s just hope it’s posturing I guess..?
If his running action was fixed would that take pressure off his acl Surely we could send him off to the experts we send Gibcus.
Hmm, the fact that we have been talking to GWS, Port and Norf doesn’t ring any bells? Seriously! We are clearly after pick 2 if we can get it at a price Blair is happy with.
We've met with him several times.The Tigers wouldn't be so stupid to pick Tauru at 6 and every other list manager knows it.

way way way to tallI'd like to hear his summaries regarding those picks, could be the odd one or two here that would melt big time if that's how the draft plays out.
but but but but he is anAwful. Three KPPs, a ruck, two HBFs, a HFF and ONE mid.
Allan and Travaglia might make mids. At the moment they're HBFs who aren't great by foot. One of them is plenty.
Individually the players might be okay but the mix is terrible.
its worseI'd be happy with the outcome here. We're starting at rock bottom and getting a potential spine in place isn't as bad as some would believe.
