I thought he was expected to go in the 20s.Isn't pick 12 a bit early for Dodson?
Who knows as the club might have him high on their talent order and be keen due to it also being a massive list need. Kid is a real talent.Isn't pick 12 a bit early for Dodson?
Around 20, give or take.I thought he was expected to go in the 20s.
I swear Reid cops it more because Ogilvie has missed on his midfield or early picks over the yearsstop worrying about list spots they can work it out easily
I must admit, if we did end up with 12 along with 4, if we took Draper at 4 and Travaglia was still there at 12...I'd be calling his name out. 2 top end mids in a strong draft and we should be there and can then start to weed out who we don't want to hold and who will be there for the flag push.Around 20, give or take.
We need a project ruck, and hes the best one in the draft with HUGE scope for improvement. Would be a bit early, but not uncomfortably so.
Yeah 12 is an awkward spot.I must admit, if we did end up with 12 along with 4, if we took Draper at 4 and Travaglia was still there at 12...I'd be calling his name out. 2 top end mids in a strong draft and we should be there and can then start to weed out who we don't want to hold and who will be there for the flag push.
Alex reminds me of rehnyYeah 12 is an awkward spot.
Theres likely to still be some quality on-ballers around and its a touch early for Alex, but given what weve now seen from Strachan, the need for Dodson would be tough to ignore.

Reid knows what he’s doing more than people think on here
Let it play out then people can make their criticisms with the info at hand
May I politely enquire whether that’s based on anything intelligent, reported in the media or some form of objective analysis?Most clubs would have our future first as a top 4 pick on their whiteboards. It's worth more than a late first round for example.
Your right we have been active in pick swaps so who knows.
Lol, that's like the defining experience of this board.What are you talking about? We still have enough uncontracted players to get Welsh, pick #4, ANB and Cumming - with possibly enough room for another trade/FA target as well.
You're getting all heated up over things which haven't happened yet, and almost certainly won't.
Is the question whether he wants to accept the contract and play on?Smith is contracted. He hit his trigger. Fox are just wrong (standard).
Wasn't Rachele drafted as a potential Midfielder ?I swear Reid cops it more because Ogilvie has missed on his midfield or early picks over the years

Maybe we're trading down from 4?Strange if we are looking to bring in pick 12 when we are struggling for list spots.
Are we trading players out?
This has come up a bunch of times.What are the 6 spots that are available? I’m trying to get my head around it.
Sloane, Gollant, McHenry, Himmleberg.
Hamill and Parnell from the rookie list and put Smith/Walker there?
Schoenberg?
We arent going to end up with those 3 picksagree
Reid has copped a whack for Ogilvie poor draft record - I would also go as far to say Ogilvie is more to blame for our slow rebuild then Nicks
If Ogilvie ends up with pick 4, 12 and 25 in this draft and doesn’t ace it then he needs to be marched out immediately

Forward / mid . Still a possibilityWasn't Rachele drafted as a potential Midfielder ?
I have a gut feel, 2025 could be a breakout year for Rachele ...IMO the jolt he got, will get him really knuckling down and adding hard work to his talentForward / mid . Still a possibility
Forward half smalls win grand finals and games in general
And rankine pushing himI have a gut feel, 2025 could be a breakout year for Rachele ...IMO the jolt he got, will get him really knuckling down and adding hard work to his talent

Smells like they really want Dodson then if we are hunting pick 12
I just visited the GWS board. They can't believe the alleged offers of 850K for a non-elite, solid role-player Perryman, and wish him well. They think they will get end of first-round compo for him, and end of second round for Cumming.At the start of the year he was on the fringes of best 22 ....24 YO, with 45 games to his name
His 2nd half of the year allows him to get a 4-year Contract at probably twice his 2024 value ......he's gotta grab the opportunity now for his own good
The more I think on it, the more I would just love a Draper / Lalor and then a Travaglia coming in. Imagine the points of difference added to our midfield with the players we already have. Travaglia has been mentioned as similar to Will Day and if that was in any way true, then YES PLEASE,Travaglia is around that mark.
Otherwise I'd consider swapping picks with North. 2 + 22 for 4 + 12. Take the kid you really want at 2, Dodson at 22.
Negativefirst question, are you a tradie...mate?
Peatling would be a $300K a year player .....Murphy levelI just visited the GWS board. They can't believe the alleged offers of 850K for a non-elite, solid role-player Perryman, and wish him well. They think they will get end of first-round compo for him, and end of second round for Cumming.
They like Peatling but regard his disposal as suspect. They would expect to receive a third-rounder for him!
Also happy to let him go.
So you're happy to overlook Dodson ? .....then complain we haven't drafted a RUCKThe more I think on it, the more I would just love a Draper / Lalor and then a Travaglia coming in.

Although it might all be a mute point even if we got 12 should Carlton and Port deal for pick 11 - you just bet they would call his name out if he happened to be on the board still.
