The lack of picks next year in what will be a better draft than this year will be an issue. I doubt many clubs will be trading out picks like this year ... but things change I guess.
dfa's and FA will mean we are not short of options just not much in draft. I would not mind us adding a couple of dfa's to our VFL side ..to have a look at them
Be nice to see him have a solid run at it. There will be a lot of change soon so ther4 will be a chance but the concussion thing is a cloud over all players and clubs
Hoping for:
#8 Phillipou / Clark
#58 Van Es or best KPD
Rookies: hagan & McKenna along with Riccardi
Where do you have these two rated. ..... 7 & 8 ?
Rate phillipou 5th (after Ashcroft Sheezel wardlaw Cadman) and Clark 6th

I saw this, but I have to ask as I do not remember, why was he playing? He was only depth even then so my question is who was missing?
Assuming you are spot on ... who do we draft in your opinion. Humprey? Tsitas?
Think Clark gets to us. Reckon that’s who we will select as we typically favour falcons.
Ginbey Tsatas and Humphrey probably go before our pick
I agree... Just feels like we are destined to land Clark for whatever reason (right or wrong).
Maybe one of Tsatas or Ginbey are also available when pick 8 comes around (doubt Humprey will be)... But I just think we will take Clark anyway (assuming he is still available).
As per usual... Only time will tell if we pick a winner.
I certainly wouldn't be shattered if we got a Tsatas, Ginbey, Humprey or even Philipou instead of Clark... But in the end all that matters is whoever we get ends up a very solid player in the future, as what we think about them now means nothing compared to what they end up producing.
I don't care who we get as long as we can look back in a few years and be happy we made a good call and I guess the other exception is that one of the obvious options that we pass up turns out to be a superstar (because that would suck).

If Tsatas is actually there I think we'll pick him tbh, one of few genuine quality outside players in the draft and most of ours are north of 30, has inside scope aswell once he adds some more size, would be surprised if he gets through though the 3 sides with picks before us all need his type for mine.

Yes...he had a breakout game... I think against Brisbane where he racked up nearly 30 disposals but then injuries and niggles intervened before the big hit on him in the GF in 2020.
He has taken a long time to recover from that...here's hoping he gets a good crack at it this time.

If we don't select Tsatas though the fact that he even made it to our pick would suggest that many clubs passed as well.
It happens every year, there's meltdowns on club boards ranting saying "How could we pass on him?".... Forgetting that the reason he even made it there in the first place is because other clubs had the same views.
To me he feels very similar to Dylan Stephens from a couple of years ago. These players have the ability to slide because they're the cream of your side, not necessarily the prime movers. I rate our youth pretty highly and the broader AFL community is finally starting too as well, but we're still not yet at a stage to be picking players who are the icing on the cake. We still need our Selwood replacement.
according to 7 news Geelong are outsiders for McKenna
Cal saying Gold Coast interested in Clark or Gibney. What a let down that would be.
Mitch reporting that the Saints now in for McKenna with the Bombers, Port and Brisbane and that we are now outsiders. Will know over next 7 days. If Mitch is reporting that then I’d say the ship has sailed.

At least he'll get a game.
Plus he seems like he's coming back for money more than anything.

To be honest I don't even know where we'd put McKenna

He’s not going to move back to Aus for a chance to play in a team on mediocre money.
He’s moving back to Aus to play and get paid a decent wage.
That rules us out
