Love ya work Callum

Interesting that Berry is linked at a lot of picks before us. Saints at 7/8, Dees at 9, Richmond at 10,11, Eagles at 12 (via the West), Port at 13 not listed by Twomey but has been linked elsewhere. But still seems the most likely one to be there at our pick

Also, Cal mentioned today that the Lions are sweating on where the pick comes for Ashcroft because there is a maximum points deficit they can go into with the new rules coming in next year, and sounded like it could effect matching Sam Marshall. Cal has him expected to be bid on at 5, why cant clubs grow some balls and bid on someone you know is 100% being matched?

Especially from the flag winner. It's just dumb, make them pay full price and then some if you can

Twomey got the whole top 20 mostly spot on last year. He had the GWS picks back to front (but correct players), and the only thing he stuffed up was Curtin and O'Sullivan. And even then, in the comments he said Adelaide were trying to trade up to get Curtin, and O'Sullivan was one of the main 3 options for Geelong.

Maybe this draft is a bit different with it being less clear cut, but I reckon Berry to Freo is looking like a 70-80% chance of happening.

Late mail normally changes a few things, but i am getting excited.

Richmond wont bid at pick 1 as the pick 1 gets some $$ from the AFL and it sends a message to them that we thought the other guy was better (which he probably is but its the sentiment) than their pick

Brisbane might need to trade out their future first then for points this year. You'll have to send them back a future second to extract it though.

It absolutely sickens me. Sometimes I wonder are these teams even in genuine competition with each other?

Carlton have zero excuses not to bid on Ashcroft - they are in the window and a direct rival for the next 2 or 3 years of the lions.

I really hope we bid on Marshall like it’s been speculated too.
100% they will match regardless. Make them pay!!

Will be watching saints very closely too after all Andrew Bassetts whinging. They bloody better bid on Lombard at 7 or 8 otherwise they have just about zero credibility.

Will be an interesting listen

Oh 100% agree.

Can't shake the feeling it may have something to do with player managers given how dodgy they seem to be with the revelations over the last 3 years.

Something along the lines of if you draft my client you won't sign another one of my players or they will request trades.

It's the only way the late bids over the last few years for father sons make sense to me.

Marshall would be a nice get.
