Really like CT’s write up of Jesse. Give me a fast, smart forward who can run through the midfieldWe’re very keen on Jesse Datolli

With the “old” system remaining, there is nothing to stop us using that first rounder. Dattoli second or even third round it would seem. Hoping we have somehow lined up a mature(ish) key tall. We can cover the Campos with bits and pieces if the bids are late enough.If true I wonder if that means we'll be looking to trade out our first or take 2 kids ahead of the Campo boys
Yep and our draft could end up being:With the “old” system remaining, there is nothing to stop us using that first rounder. Dattoli second or even third round it would seem.

Does absolutely nothing to address our immediate list issues re speed and foot skills thoughYep and our draft could end up being:
- First rounder - let's say Harry Armstrong cos why not
- Ben Campo second round matched bid
- Dattoli third round selection
- Lucas Campo rookie
I would be very happy with that
Wouldn’t imagine this years draft crop will play much next year if at all. If it’s speed you want, it’s going to have to come via tradeDoes absolutely nothing to address our immediate list issues re speed and foot skills though
I think a lot of players this year will have year 1 impact. Some very very good kids in this draft even if theres no superstar calibre talents at the pointy end.Wouldn’t imagine this years draft crop will play much next year if at all. If it’s speed you want, it’s going to have to come via trade
That’s fair. But very doubtful we debut more than 1 mid (if we actually take a mid) from this years draft next year. It’s why I think all of next years picks should be on the table this year to either go to the draft with or to trade. The time is nowI think a lot of players this year will have year 1 impact. Some very very good kids in this draft even if theres no superstar calibre talents at the pointy end.
For sure, i thought Windsor came in to AFL and slotted in great, he would have been great for us. Im on board with trying to get another 1st rounder but I wont hold my breath.I think a lot of players this year will have year 1 impact.

Outside of Austin, have we changed our recruiting team? No. IMO, we need some fresh ears and eyes.Tbh Austin has been putrid since been giving the job we haven't picked up anything special in the draft lately
Both of the Whitlocks should be there at our first pick, at some stage we have to draft a proper key position player at a much less speculative pick than we have been for the last 8 years

Draft for long term careers. Trade for immediate list needs.Does absolutely nothing to address our immediate list issues re speed and foot skills though
Tell me about it; it's not going to get any easier from here on and this may be a year in which the KPP value might actually align with where we take our first pick. You have to take the opportunities when they are there.Both of the Whitlocks should be there at our first pick, at some stage we have to draft a proper key position player at a much less speculative pick than we have been for the last 8 years

Long and short term needs are pace and footskills. Should be trying to address it via trade and draft right now.Draft for long term careers. Trade for immediate list needs.
Fair call. I still dream of Charlie playing as a roaming third tall.Long and short term needs are pace and footskills. Should be trying to address it via trade and draft right now.
Harry and Charlie are only 27 this year so we don't need to invest in an up and coming KPF this year like Armstrong imo. And that's from someone who'd absolutely love to see him at our club on a personal level.
Unless he's playing on a wing no team is ever going to let Charlie roam anywhere without 3 blokes stuck to him like a bad smell.Fair call. I still dream of Charlie playing as a roaming third tall.
Joseph Berry please godSo, what can we do with our top 10 draft pick?
Joseph Berry please god
Wilson is a player. Moir never been convinced on but has started to show some signs athletically of getting back to the 'freak' he was talked about before his draft year. Speed and agility improved considerably over the season.This year is a make or break affair for Austin.
He hasn't come up trumps so far with Moir and Wilson. I'm prepared to see how they go next year after another preseason but so far the gamble hasn't paid off.
Still not convinced on Boyd because we are hell bent on not using him in a role that suits him.
Sounds like Lord might be Austin's saviour.
