Crows have just been in a strange old place since that GF against Richmond. That said, they’ll 1000% pick Sid if he’s on the board. Like what are we doing here lol

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

I think Sid is the surest thing in the draft, he will be good to great player and least likely to bust.
I’d like him and his SA mate Dodson.
If we got those 2 I don’t even care what else happens.
Dodson looks like the second coming of Dean Cox

Playing 4D chess so the Eagles don't pick him

 

[TheJackal]

I tell you what if Draper goes to Melbourne at pick 5 then Jack Higgins is off the Christmas card list for life. Reckon he would be pick 1 if he played CTL and had the exposure our Vic boys have.

 

[joydivision22]

Put all the scuttlebut together, rather hopefully I admit below would be ideal I reckon. Don’t think we have much of a shot at Hynes, Hannerford or Hotton reaching our 3rd pick but one can dream.

Also think Melb are pretty likely to take Reid which throws it all out.

1. J. Smith - Rich
2. H. Langford - Rich (Nth-Swap)
3. F. O’Sullivan - WC
4. S. Draper - Adel
5. H. Armstrong - Melb
6. A. Tauru - Nth (Rich-Swap) (GC-Rioli)
7. S. Lalor - Stk
8. M. Reid - Stk (B1-Battle)
9. J. Shanahan - Ess
10. J. Faull - Rich (Fre-Bolton)
11. J. Smilie - Rich (Fre-Baker)
12. X. Lindsay - Carl
13. T. Travaglia - Port (Carl via GC-Houston)
14. B. Allen - WC (Haw-Barrass)
15. J. Berry - GWS
16. T. Hotton - WB (Geel-Smith)
17. L. Trainor - North (Swap Rich) (Frem-Bolton)
18. T. Sims - Rich (Bris-Points)
19. J. Whitlock - Syd
20. M. Whitlock - Syd
21. L. Jaques - GWS (B2-Perryman)
22. C. Hynes - Rich
23. H. Oliver - NM
24. H. O’Farrell - WC
25. O. Hannerford - Stk
26. A. Dodson - Adel
27. H. Davis - Fre

Another 10+ guys you’d be thrilled with not even on the list..

 

[Klaatu]

Not sure Sids manager has got any brains for letting him state that he doesn’t want to go to certain clubs, AFL would not appreciate the comments is this akin to draft tampering???

If not us I hope he ends up at WC on a 3 year deal.

What is "The Josh Rachele saga"?

 

[dudeintheswamp]

What is "The Josh Rachele saga"?

I think it's to do with generally how Adelaide manage their young players, and specifically about Rachele towards the end of the season where he was dropped for the last game and copped a bit publicly from former Crows 'greats'.

“They won’t pick him Thomas” - McLure, probably.

Personally would love for Jack Whitlock to slip to our 3rd pick.
If we have and two top ten mids, it would be prudent to look for a key position player.

So Lalor/Smillie/Lindsey/Travaglia/Hannaford
That would be awesome.

That's the best summary of what might happen, be a few ffdps involved for those trades to eventuate.

If we get Lalor and dealers choice over Smilie Reid etc then that's as good ad it gets.

If we can get another pick in the teens from GCS or Blues as part of Houston deal our FFRdp as axswapbinto this years draft and thus get a Hotton or Lindsay or Travaglia we are laughing.

With the spread of talent, stkilda’s involvement and just complete unknowns about who will take who, this draft will be the most exciting thing I’ve watched all year. Can’t wait.

A great effort and taking out the early FS & NGA picks makes it look a whole heap tidier. It really does highlight how exciting this draft is going to be for the club, there are so many possibilities and they all have significant positives for us going forward.

The clubs we are trading with will be desparately trying to get pick #24 from us, but I think we can get the deals done without giving it up.

 

[gringo2011]

Gee, Taj Hotton, been compared to Chris Judd & might have been no.1 pick, if not for the knee injury. Smells of one of those missed opportunities & he lives down the road. Might be worth keeping Ollie for 1 more season to unite the brother's

A fair bit of projection going on. He looked very good but without being able to see him in the champs and under more scrutiny we don't know what he is going to be like. His run was a weapon and his knee going probably puts that back a fair way now.

Whoever gets him is going to gamble that he does end up a star but he's probably a gamble around pick 12 to 18 not a high pick. Take the hyperbole out and he's more a potential top 10 pick with a serious knee injury that has unexposed form. Could be a star or could be another Aiden Boner.

With Luke Trainor missing through injury, Hofmann played a key role in disrupting the Rebels attacking moves, roaming across the defensive line or setting up down the line a kick from the play and taking intercept marks or spoiling his opponents marking attempts. His bodywork and strength in 1v1 marking contests was especially impressive, and he was composed and constructive with ball in hand.

 

[joydivision22]

Reckon when Chris Judd was 12 he probably looked a bit like Hotton

Has a nice kick on him. Cheers for the highlights package.

thanks for this, looks really good, third tall eventual battle replacement. Can take a mark and a good leg on him. Only 13 touches but from the looks of things it wasn't down there much. I may be mistaken but if he's replaced trainor and is flourishing it indicates he's been ready just needed an opportunity, which is great for us as he won't get bid on early

There was a fair bit of Wilkie about the performance - he is possibly the most likely of all of the three to get bid on now.

I was thinking the same thing re the Wilkie comparison. Not sure what will happen with him, Cole and Peckett. Draft gurus aren’t giving any of them much attention. It would be nice if they all got to the rookie draft.
