Given the mids still left im taking 2 mids at 24 and 25 (if im wells) then either conway or bazzo at 32 depending on which one gets past wce at 31. That said if you could get 2 good mids and someone like taylor or roberts make it to 32 id take them too its a good mids draft. Great position to be in. You could always prioritise mids at 24 and 25 then live trade back in after that if we think we need to beat someone to conway.

Hopefully get him back in a trade later on in his career.
Sonsie looks like Sam Mitchell level of class. He is better than Sheldrick and Hobbs.
I reckon Zac Taylor is just a notch below Sonsie.
Still think Knevitt is more a Third Tall Forward, rather than a Midfielder.

Taylor is more consistent in a way but Sonsie is a matchwinner theres more risk there but at his best hes elite.
I agree knevitt could easily be a de facto chf or a 3rd tall back not just a big mid i agree the versatility appeals with him.
Have to agree, just stockpile the mids and see which can go next level. I still think we need to get Fejo Jnr with our pick 50 (or maybe trade in around 40-45), because he is something in between Brad Hill and Isaac Smith. He will be super effective as a Winger, with that speed and sidestep and he can kick the ball flat and hard.
We can probably find a make shift Key Defender with that Pick 90. Schlensog will be there and available at that Pick worst case.
Bhazzo looks okay, but I would've preferred Aleer.

Yes he did
think as the Tigers went KPD anod back flank with their first 2 then their 3 picks in the late 20,s cleans out any really good mids left bar one or two - so really hoping for something like Sonsie, McDonald, Roberts, Frejo jnr and Schlensog - just having trouble spending picks on Conway or Knevitt as 24,25 and they may then go prior to our next. High quality proven low risk mids for those 2 picks please.
What do we think it would take to get pick 22 from north?
Would they entertain 32 (was 30) and a future 2nd if they think motlop will slip to the 30s?
I'd love to jump the hawks and take Sonsie.
Exactly what we need in the middle.
Assuming freo takes MJ at 21, we take Sonsie at 22, Hawks take their pick of goater, Knevitt, butler, draper, taylor.
We can then take a swing at one of the remaining (Wishful thinking the goater to run off half back with nick stevens or our new irishman) and macdonald with 24/25.
Take a Wells swing at a project tall with our 50 (now in the 40s). Have our next 10 years of midfielders all set up in Stephens, O'Connor, Parf, Sonsie, Macdonald and whoever slips through.

I actually think we might take one tall and one mid. Reason being there are only 13 selections between now and our third pick (pick 33) and we have two of them. There are only 7 teams amongst the other 11 selections.
Richmond haven't yet taken a MID but I can't see them using all three of their late 20s picks on MIDs. Hawthorn and North both have two of the picks but they've each already taken one MID. Fremantle, Sydney and West Coast all have one pick but they've already taken a MID each. Lastly Carlton have one pick and haven't yet taken a MID.
Given this, I think there might only be around 5-6 MIDs taken between now and our pick 33 yet there's almost a dozen highly rated MIDs left on the board:
Arlo Draper
Blake Howes
Connor MacDonald
Josh Goater
Matt Roberts
Matthew Johnson
Mitch Knevitt
Sam Butler
Tyler Sonsie
Zac Taylor
I think Fremantle, North and Hawthorn will all be receiving some serious offers for their picks. Not sure what it will cost, but I'm thinking it will be too much.
North could take it up if they want either Motlop or Butler. Drop down a few spots and gain a F2 and still get their man. That's the most likely trade (if there is one) that I can envisage.
Depends who they rate higher and how big the gap is. Motlop might be available later but Butler maybe not.
Think we should deal our F1 with Freo preferably for Johnson, or North for Johnson/Sonsie and take the best mids that dont overlap with Stephens and Johnson/Sonsie with 24 and 25. Then best fit for our gaps from there, probably including Schleshog with our last pick. Thats a 10 year midfield with Parfitt thrown in as well. For example, Johnson, Draper, McDonald with Stephens and Parfitt or maybe a Butler or Taylor or Warner thrown in there for variety.
Dealing with our F1 is dangerous giving the amount of tall talent potentially available next year. I think we're better off taking two MIDs with our existing picks and holding on to our future first.

He did but i think we would likely take him as a rookie on friday not in the ND tonight.

I agree...i really really rate johnson but our future 1st could be top 10 in a talls draft and we need quality talls. If freo for example would do 24/25 amd our future 2nd for 21 id probably do it for us to get johnson but i wouldnt trade our FR1. We will get good players with our picks at 24/25 anyway.

The issue is north dont have their future 2nd or their future 3rd as they traded them out so they can only offer 22 and 34 for 21 and i doubt freo do that unless they think north wont take the player freo wants. Hawks with 2 picks in the 20s are the most likely club to trade with freo if hawks really want johnson.
Apparently Car are interested in Conway .... Im not against taking him if we feel we must but the draft "seems" to have fallen to us a bit , we have a chance to prep our mid group for the impending holes.

Strategically i agree with you as i think the mids run deeper and at least one of the good mids gets to our 33 (add long and corey warner to that list) so its smart to take the talls earlier but im not sure if any of the talls are worth 24? Do you rate conway or bazzo as worth that pick. 20s is too early for pegoraro or dean or morrison imo. Its a tough one.

BORIS332 has a point in that all the talls could be off the board by 33 whereas all the mids wont (eg you likely get roberts or taylor or long or warner at 33..knevitt would be the dream if he gets that far) and theres basically only one ruck in this draft so it might be we need to go early on conway or a kpd strategically. Im surprised by carlton though i thought they would need a key defender more than a ruck (hello TDK).
Sonsie and Goater with our B2B picks would be "special"
