Maybe Berry is just considered the better pick in the same position so no team is thought to reach for Hannaford. If Port grab Berry, maybe we will consider Hannaford instead?All popular phantom drafts gives us either Hotton or Berry. And Hannaford goes pretty much soon after our pick in most of them. Surprised Hannaford not linked to us in atleast one of those phantom drafts.We are not interested in him?

This is the wayEveryone is frothing Berry too much, so we won't be taking him when he falls.
Simpson in 2012?I think 2021 is the only year we pretty much hit the board consensus for draft picks although even then I reckon plenty preferred JVR.
So don't get attached to Berry IMO.
Not a coincidence it also lined up with when we took 3 West Australian players tooI think 2021 is the only year we pretty much hit the board consensus for draft picks although even then I reckon plenty preferred JVR.

It's absolutely in the top 3 priorities I reckon. I'm not so sure a first year player would/could be the solution, unless they're some kind of prodigy-savant at reading the game+composure. Very doubtful they'd then be available beyond top 5.Interesting I've seen today that Peter Bell has stated he sees another good user off half back as our biggest need and suggested that may be the way we go with pick 14.
Wouldn't be surprised if that's where we go. Thinking about it a bit more Aish and Wagner both feel like short term solutions that could be upgraded by a draftee in 2-3 years. Wouldn't be the worst pick of that's what's available.
So the first two picks HBF & Small forward.Interesting I've seen today that Peter Bell has stated he sees another good user off half back as our biggest need and suggested that may be the way we go with pick 14.

Who is in the draft that fits spot around 14? Harrison Oliver looks like it at probably a later pick but doesnt seem to have the speed to run us out of the back half like we have been trying lately. Allan?Interesting I've seen today that Peter Bell has stated he sees another good user off half back as our biggest need and suggested that may be the way we go with pick 14.

Harrison Oliver and Angus Clark fit this description. Oliver seems to fall in most experts around 25-30. Clark just after. We may need to consider upgrading using a Future pick to make sure we get one of those. Neither fall in the range near our first pick.Who is in the draft that fits spot around 14?

Yes he looks good but won’t last till our final pick around late 50’s. We’d need to upgrade to an earlier pick.So the first two picks HBF & Small forward.
That leaves a medium forward as a position we’re not flush in. If he makes it to our third pick, how about a mature agent player like Sam Davidson who is 190cm and won the best young player award in the VFL. Kicked 26 goals in 17 games and finished the season with flurry.

A more mature pick could be the go further down maybe.
Internally...Michael Walters as an off-the-wall option?
Just imagine having a second Clark in the team: the proliferation of extraneous "e"s on this board would cause Snuffaluphagus to suffer apoplexy!Harrison Oliver and Angus Clark fit this description.
The other way to go and also a very good option is draft Xavier Lindsay with p14(provided he’s there) then go small/med fwd with our second - hanneford, Dattoli, Alger, Davis all possibly availableWho is in the draft that fits spot around 14?

The problem is it seems at least plausible that Freo have given guarantees/assurances to Narkle and Jaren Carr.Yes he looks good but won’t last till our final pick around late 50’s. We’d need to upgrade to an earlier pick.
The Carlton pick 38 is an interesting one. There is a decent chance Scott Camporeale is bid just before that pick.
Not sure if we need to upgrade Worner prior to ND. If not, we can go into draft with 4 selections.
If Camporeale is bid on at say 37, I’d happily trade say 58,66 and F3 for that pick
Narkle hasn’t nominated for ND so he is a lock for SSP rookie. Carr is certainly on the ND nomination list and appears we are considering him with our third pick.The problem is it seems at least plausible that Freo have given guarantees/assurances to Narkle and Jaren Carr.
If we have, that leaves 2 "open" picks. So realistically maybe we trade 30 up a couple spots if there's a player we really like and want to avoid being pinched.
Maybe. But achieving at junior levels in most cases takes a while to adapt to AFL level.Wouldn't rule out a first year playing contributing in a half back role. I've seen Oliver referred to as Wilmot 2.0, and while Wilmot (pick 16) took all of his first
year to debut, they thrust him into the side for 3 finals and he looked right at home and has never looked back. Darcy Wilson (pick 18) is another one from last year. They played him all over the shop, including wing and forward, but he is the sort of player that you could slot in at half back.
Won't be surprised at all if we pick Oliver at 17. We have been linked to him. And his bios on the various draft guides reads very impressively. My main question would be on his speed. Herald Sun says he plays with speed and power, but Rookieme only gives him an "average" rating for speed.
