Tsatas is pretty clearly an absolute weapon, I see a lot of Bailey Smith in the way he powers forward with the footy.

It then becomes a question of weighing up talent v fit with everyone else around him.
 

‘I love them’: Father-son gun Alwyn Davey still likely bound for Bombers despite nomination delay​


So why haven’t either of them officially nominate yet? Doesn’t make sense to me
 
Wardlaw or Tsatas is my preference

Are we likey to have a rookie spot? There’s a big kid coming out of Sydney called Will Edwards. No idea where he ranks in mocks but he has some nice tools.

If Tsatas is a potential A grader but less of a need Vs a need but a likely B grader I’m going Tsatas.
 
I find the Tsatas 'less of a need' talk odd. I mean maybe he's less of a need if we are planning on winning the flag next year, but I feel we are building this team to win in 2025+, Caldwell, Hobbs, Perkins, Durham, Martin and Tsatas looks fairly balanced and can drive us forward.

all the vibes from the club feel like we are going to pass up on tsatsas - hope we dont mess this up

why do every other clubs fans get to be excited by draft night but my overall emotion is - pls dont mess it up, pls dont mess it up
its because we have an incompetant muppet in charge of list management. you are right to feel nervous!
 
Today's October HS phantom draft has us taking Tsatas at 5 "based on the latest mail". Not sure how accurate their predications have been in the past.
Their journos are usually actual journos with actual news, though some are more emotionally invested (e.g. Robbo). Although it depends on the specific journo as to whether I'd take it as gospel.

Twomey is generally very accurate when he does his final one, well connected at the clubs. Most of the others are as speculative as BF posters I suspect.

I meant the Herald Sun ones, the person I replied to said the HS had mail but didn’t say which HS journo it was. I’d take Peter Ryan or Jay Clark’s word for it. I rate Marc McGowan too, wish he wrote more. Robbo is suspect, has contacts at Essendon but those contacts aren’t necessarily in the know and then he puts his spin on things. Jon Ralph is meh. Landsberger is an ambulance chaser.

Twomey has been doing it for a long time, his speculation is interesting based on his contact with the draftees themselves and his attendance at actual U18 games and at the combine. He knows which draftees have been interviewed by which clubs and what their coaches are saying about them and whatever.

But the real value of Twomey is the final updated phantom he puts out three hours before the draft… when the club recruiters start spilling their guts a bit, final interviews are happening with draft kids, kids are being told “we’ll definitely take you if you’re available” and he can extrapolate most of the first round based on that.

It was by someone called Chris Cavanagh.

The Journo is Chris Cavanagh. I'm not really familiar with HS journos so am not sure how valid it is.

'51 Bewick Sorry, can't post the link because it's stuck behind the HS paywall. But you should be able to retrieve it if you google the journo's name and phantom draft.

He does the first 25 and then readers evaluate their assessment of each pick as well.
