We're gonna pick FOS, aren't we.

 

[Themanbun]

Melbourne is set to swap pick 28, 40 and a future first in exchange for Essendon’s pick 9. That would mean the Dees take 5 and 9 into this year’s draft. Potentially huge implications for us.

If they take 5 and 9 into the draft then you’d think they potentially go a mid (e.g. Smillie/Langford) followed by a tall forward, such as Armstrong/Shanahan. If they intend to use both picks to trade up and get the best mid possible then we are the obvious club they’ll target to facilitate a trade of picks.

Pick 2 for 5 and 9 would suit us perfectly; however, they might want something back the other way like our 25 (or a future second). What do we think about these possibilities?

Would rip their arm off

F2 would be ok. Keep 25 at all costs.

 

[shinboner magic]

If we trade 25 for Caleb and Hannaford is still there at 25 - you can pretty much bookmark he’ll play is and run straight past ,through and over Daniels when we play them.

I'd think we'd give up a F2 or F3 before we go anywhere near pick 25 based on not diluting our draft hand comments.

 

[kirbonavich]

Reckon we should trade out all our picks next year. Need a year off.

Agreed mate. Trade F1 & F2 (if we can) and just attack free agents!

Not allowed to trade both unless you get it ticked off by the AFL for a player. Have to keep either a F1 or F2/F3.

Has he done enough for another shot roos_fanatic08 Souup ?

Always thought he was a tad unlucky

Ex-Eagle’s draft promise: I won’t take it for granted again

Ex-West Coast forward Isiah Winder won South Fremantle’s best-and-fairest on Saturday night then was part of the Draft Combine on Sunday. He hopes he’s done enough to convince clubs to give him another chance.

thewest.com.au

"Former West Coast forward Isiah Winder has promised he will never take his football career for granted again and declared he is ready to return to the AFL if a club is prepared to give him the chance.

Winder’s hopes of getting an AFL lifeline rose when he received a late call-up to Sunday’s Draft Combine testing in front of club recruiters. The 22-year-old spent the season playing for South Fremantle after being delisted by West Coast and won the club’s best-and-fairest."

I haven't seen much of his games this year, I was a big fan of him as a rookie in his draft year. He hardly fired a shot at West Coast and wasn't really commited with his training standards and effort off the field.

No doubt he has plenty of talent, but you'd have to be certain he has matured before giving him another crack.

The big question I had with Winder was what type of player would he be at the next level. He felt like one of those athletic utilities (that Scott Clayton loves) who are a bust in the AFL. I don't think he is good enough to be a midfielder/winger and even at 180cms, he gives me more of a medium forward vibe than a small forward. We have enough of those.

 

[Phillyroo]

We're gonna pick FOS, aren't we.

I bloody hope so!!!

 

[The Nostradamus]

I bloody hope so!!!

Every club seems to be trying to get Lalor and FOS

I think tigers will trade a bounty to get both via our pick 2

 

[SWMD]

If unable to split for something like 6 &13, then pick 2, has to be best available, I'll back in Souup and Sphynx with their opinions on FOS. Looks a class above.

Splitting for two top picks has appeal, though it seems the only remaining options for that is to slide this year + F1.

Hanging on to pick 2 doesn't tick the list balancing box, but there's enough evidence we can't trade in elite players, the only way on this list is to draft them.

KPF or Small fwd at 25

Hope like **** Darling plus a resting Parker straightens up the forward line for a year until there's a better option.

Love this to actually be the case……don’t think we get 10,11 and 18 for essentially our F1 and F2. Would like to though

 

[iloveireland]

L Mac + 25 for Houston. Sorted. This list management stuff is easy.

 

[archereleven]

Would want pick 39 coming back - Lmac is a decorated captain after all.
