TBH I know he's injury prone, which alone was enough for me to suggest he's a no go. I didn't check his age when it was suggested.Is this the same Sam Naismith who is 30 years old, has played 24 AFL games, and in the period of 2018-2022 played 2 games?
Man I feel even older now!

I think there’s a high likelihood we could pickup Broadbent in the RD or with our 5th pick in the ND. Haven’t seen him in any phantom drafts in the top 20-40.

Barnett depending how the chips fall would likely be one of my 4 picks, if not available Phoenix foster laster in the draft and either Broadbent or Knobel as a rookie unless a Kobe Ryan, Sam Gilbey, Jed Hagan are available. I would be planning to pick up a first ruck next year in the top 20 picks.

Adelaide traded out of the 2nd round and got norths F2 so they could get their F/S Max Michalanney with later picks .
I'm assuming Adelaide will be trying to buy back into the early to mid 2nd round with one of their future 2nds .
Trade pick 20 + 70 to Adelaide for F2 (north) and 46 . They get back into the 2nd round . We get Smith without reaching
46 is more kaleb Smith draft range and we pocket another high future 2nd rounder
12 14 17 26 46 + we end up with 3 x 2nd rounders next year

Yeah I guess. I was just wondering if Ginbey, Hewett was a great pairing for WA. Did they have a good balance of skills that we’d like to see working together at the Eagles?
It would be interesting if North went that way and drafted Wardlaw / Tsatas for the compliment of skills, having played well together throughout Juniors. Would be a good move for them I reckon. I know they’ve drafted an abundance of midfielders but you know those two work well together.
ROYAL EAGLE comments made me feel a bit better about taking some of the WA boys though.
Mackenzie projects as the more damaging midfielder to me.

Still reckon Hewett will slide just like Darling and we’ll get him with our third or fourth pick.

East Perth products Reuben Ginbey and Jedd Busslinger are firming to be first-round selections after being among the dozen invited to the opening night of this year’s AFL draft later this month.
The pair were reportedly sent invites to head to Melbourne for the event on November 28 alongside the likes of Brisbane father-son prospect Will Ashcroft and No.1 chance Aaron Cadman.
Ginbey is considered the best of the WA crop, with several clubs including West Coast and Gold Coast interested after a breakout season as a big-bodied midfielder.
Busslinger has long been touted as a top talent in this year’s pool, but the key defender’s season was cut short because of a shoulder injury.
Elijah Tsatas, Bailey Humphrey, Mattaes Phillipou, Cameron Mackenzie, Ollie Hollands and Jhye Clark were also reported to have been invited.

Swan Districts midfielder Elijah Hewett and Claremont son-of-a-gun Ed Allan are considered the other West Australian talent that could also be taken in the first two dozen picks, but it is not known if either were invited.
Allan was almost a Hawthorn father-son prospect, with his father Ben falling two games short of the 100 to qualify.
The Eagles hold one of the strongest draft hands this year, with four picks inside the top 30 in eight, 12, 20 and 26.
Fremantle does not have a pick until 30 at the moment after trading away this year’s first-round pick (13) and as well as next year’s and a future second-round pick for Melbourne ruckman Luke Jackson.
The second round of the national draft will be held on Tuesday, November 29 before the pre-season and rookie drafts are held online the following day.
Still Not known yet if Hewett got an invite.
Further proof that the Pieman gives away very little in who we will take. Busslinger and Ginbey would have been leaked by other clubs are are obvious
Clarke
Who says nai?
Jones in the handful of games I've seen him play doesn't really project as a small forward.
He plays much better as a midfielder (even though he may not have the stature for it at AFL level).
IMHO, Darcy Jones. He has everything needed, has pace, insane agility, and can stream goalwards from the centre with his midfield minutes.
A small framed 175cm 63kg player is just going to stream forwards of centre and kick goals at afl level..... Right.
Personally he might have better application and a better attitude but IMO Winder has a higher talent level playing that midfield role to the forward line and if he is kept as a rookie is still 2 years away from making an impact.
I get a sense that they are dialling back on the number of kids invited to draft night to avoid a repeat of the Johnson/Robertson disappointments/embarassments. So only first round locks get a gig. Which in this draft may mean only about 12.

Yeah I was wondering why it was only 12, rather than 18-19. The article also fails to mention Wardlaw and Sheezel, so definitely missing a few
