I love how Cripps & Bont snuck in there. Travaglia surprised me, I've not seen much about his lack of pace.

StCicatriz to save me from doing another post, wasn't Erasmus' issues that he was slow and had an average kick? Do you know his 20m times?

They also play alongside some more dour types who don’t mark the ball. As long as we have the right mix we’ll be fine

I’m optimistic we’ll have 2 future back pocket/half backs who can play above their height, can intercept and both have serious speed in Hoffman & Hastie.

Looking at his old pre-draft stuff, Hastie may well be the logical successor to Sinclair.

lol better than a never wassa.

Coming from Sydney I believed the 1980's propaganda that Aussie rules was soft so after playing Union and League all my life, changed over to Aussie Rules in my early 20's playing for Sydney Uni.

Got the absolute suitcase beaten out of me, broken ribs, multiple dislocated fingers, broken nose in a fight. 2 seasons and I was out, girlfriend threatened departure and I was only too glad to give it away.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

our defence this year was very solid, premiership level solid, our full back was howard who offered almost nothing offensively.. we don't need our full back to play offense, just hand it off to Nas or Sincs thanks

We love Travaglia. Don't be surprised if we pick him and one of Langford/Smillie. Whoever falls.

Yeah but you must be soft if you can't take a mid-game prostate exam.

Mate we love like 10 players, no surprises with whoever we pick

Trade 1
Out: Stk F1, P27.
In: Ess P9.

Trade 2
Out: Stk P8, Ess P9.
In: NM P2, NM P25.

Hit the 2024 with:
Pick 2, Pick 7, Pick 25.


Essentially brings our future First into this Draft and upgrades our first selections. Would do it if we have a FA lined up for next year.

We would want 2,7 and 22 in this scenario

That was in response to people saying we'd take both Langford and smilie should they slide.

Our investment in the draft for the past 4 off seasons (3 including this one) will hold us in very good stead for a sustained period. Some drafts have been better than others, but each has produced players with All Australian prospects

 

[Mighty_sainter]

I think we will target midfielders with our first two picks, as for what posters have said i think we will pair it with two that compliment each other. We need a centre clearance bull Langford/smillie/lalor/draper we will target and I think the other will be something of a different mix smith/reid/lindsay/travaglia. I think there’s enough solid kpp depth in the second and third round and acquiring Cole and hofman(I’m quite bullish on) I don’t think wel see the backline as a need. I could see us targeting a small forward aswell with one of our second/third round picks. Jasper Alger/hannaford/datoli would be in the convo.

How tall is Cole? Hearing mixed reports.

How tall is Cole? Hearing mixed reports.

Was recorded as 195cm early in the year but looks to have grown a couple cms. Would be pushing 198cm from the eye

sauce?

 

[sufficientintent]

We would want 2,7 and 22 in this scenario

Pick 8 + some other future pick to GWS for 15 + 16
15, future second and a promise not to bid on Kako at pick 7 to Essendon for Pick 9
Then bid on Kako at pick 7 anyways because **** 'em

Did some really nice things in the VFL as well. He'll definitely be a player.
