How far back we going? Not like we've had too many of late

Still I'd take McVeigh, Fosdike, Crouch, Bolton and even Rohan.

Rocca and Grant were good players.

Yeah Stephens was a whiff but Logan will play out as a Swan
Nic Fosdike was SO good

I think ppl also need to consider that most likely from 27-29

The drafts will be compromised

aside from this year being a good year potentially

I think many clubs are preparing from current draft for the compromised drafts coming

Compromised is putting it lightly.

May as well wipe those years out Richmond tried to speed up the process but unless they pick perfectly they are ****ed for a good decade or so.

Clubs like Carlton/Port/Collingwood are looking stuffed they would hope to grab a flag or two to justify the upcoming lean years.
 
It's a shame we can't draft Leonardo Lombard. He would be ideal if we ever needed a ceiling mural painted at Swans HQ or to conquer the entire Western Sydney region through a bloody military campaign.
Some great names in this draft.

Loch MacTaggart, 184cm defender, would draft him so we can call him Lockdown Lochie and to offset the loss of McAndrew

Elwood Peckett

Jack Ough, though pronounced Oh (despite national champs commentator only realising that into the 2nd of a game)
 
Tom Morris reporting we have met with Ben Paton from St Kilda - was going ok a couple of years ago

I actually saw this on a random Facebook post and assumed they’d confused us with GWS

Haven’t seen enough of him to comment but he seems the type we’d recruit for a gap we seemingly have, but Horse would keep him banished in the VFL without giving him a chance

I hope you didn’t say Rohan
 
Apologies, you're correct.

But if 9 touches and 20 hitouts is what passes as a good game for Stretch, he's nowhere near Ladhams who averaged 15 touches and 20 hitouts in 2022 and 2023.
I still think Ladhams a waste of space. He is about as thick as a short plank. If he isn't, then how come he continues to get suspended, even in the reserves

The Age has put out a mock draft;

Our picks;
23 Jesse Dattoli
Northern Knights/Vic Metro
Midfielder/forward, 179cm, 7/8/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 23.1 disposals, 11 contested possessions, 1.7 goals
Dattoli is a confident and competitive kid – and that has shone through in club interviews, with a mixed response to it, but more believe it is a positive, particularly given what it takes to succeed at his height. A natural footballer, it would not surprise if Dattoli was snapped up in the teens. He will spend time in the midfield and up forward in the AFL, with his improved endurance, toughness and power combining to make him a good stoppage player, and he is a good mark for his size.

Note; Berry, Hotton and Hannaford previously 'selected'.

26 Matt Whitlock
Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country
Tall forward/defender, 198cm, 16/5/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 14.2 disposals, 5 marks, 1.9 goals
The second of the Whitlock twins is a couple of centimetres shorter, but proved himself more than capable at both ends this year. Like his brother, he is athletic, works hard and is a good mover for his size – demonstrated by his 20m sprint time. Whitlock’s key-position appeal for clubs is obvious, even beyond his height: He kicked multiple goals eight times in the Talent League, but his season also includes three games with four or more intercept marks. His set-shot kicking could improve.

Note; Faull, Trainor, Shanahan & Jack Whitlock previously 'selected'.

Pick 40 Charlie Nicholls
Central District/South Australia
Key forward, 197cm, 8/6/2006
SANFL U18s stats (avg): 15 disposals, 7.5 marks, 2 goals
Nicholls was viewed as a potential first-rounder as recently as before the under-18 championships, but is now more likely to be taken in this draft range – or even later. He is lightly framed, will take time to develop and might never be a No.1 forward, but there is potential here. Nicholls is quick and marks the ball well, and a club that is willing to be patient with him might be rewarded.


WA have named their summer training squad (starting prep for next year's National Championships).
42 players named, incl 3 underagers.
None have the surname of Warner.
