No Jack Hutchinson?I'd be going best available.
We have pick 9 so here's my 9 to cross off as selected
Geordie Payne
Will McLachlan
Remy McLean
Jacob Blight
Noah Howes
Luke Beecken
Max Hall
Kobe Ryan
Oskar Smartt
Not in my top 10.No Jack Hutchinson?
Hope we are looking more long term and select a younger late developing type player, over expecting instant success.Are there any names here which would slot straight into the AFL side, or are we recruiting depth?

Who I'd like us to select: Caleb Ernst or Saad El-HawliOkay punters, by the end of the day we'll be welcoming another player to the navy blue.
Looks like the names we've been linked with in the media are:
- Riley Collier-Dawkins (Williamstown VFL) - 193cm inside/outside mid
- Liam McMahon (Carlton VFL) - 198cm forward/defender
- Corey Ellison (Williamstown VFL) - 194cm forward/defender
- Jack Peris (Essendon VFL) - 178cm small forward
- Remy Maclean (Box Hill VFL) - 200cm forward
Closest to the pin. Who would you like us to select (even a name not on the list) - and who you think we'll select.
I'll open the batting.
Who I'd like us to select: Saad El-Hawli - outside mid, speed to burn, goalkicker.
Who I think we'll take: Riley Collier-Dawkins.
Depends if they read BF or notAustin and Co have more information than any of us.
Will Hayes was robbed. He was a very good footballer IMUO.Hope we are looking more long term and select a younger late developing type player, over expecting instant success.
Past picks like Will Hayes and Josh Deluca didn't work out, although Deluca wasn't given a fair crack at it.
Cincotta was a shrewd selection.
Bring him to me!!!McLaughlin seems to float in the air with some Jarrod Waite like hang time.
Can Shrugs go through the midfield?
They did say the draft is going to be mid heavy. So going tall in the msd makes sense as the quality talls will be gone before we get to pick.Reading between the lines we are going tall.
Done homework on multiple talls.
“Getting ahead of the draft” means ensuring something we need, but may have trouble getting (due to Campo bids)
We have a few “needs”, but key depth/developing is essential and there are questions over those we have currently on the list.
Marchbank
Martin 3 rd tall maybe
S.Durdin
Akuei
also Mirkov
Not beyond possibility all of the above don’t go on for next year, certainly a number of them will be gone.
Young has not come on as we would like.
Lemmey needs to start stepping up, and best position still work in progress.
Do we go with the known in McMahon or one of the state leaguers we have done some work on?
Zac’s game forward with the other options should be adequate.
Cez back completes the midfield with Elijah stepping up as necessary. Cinc as a stopper also a step forward.
Plenty of mid sized defensive options.
Talls are the hardest to get and the slowest maturing investment. JSOS will be back but we need more.
Checks out with "getting ahead of the draft" tooThey did say the draft is going to be mid heavy. So going tall in the msd makes sense as the quality talls will be gone before we get to pick.
Empty words if the quality isn't there.Checks out with "getting ahead of the draft" too
Why? Doesn't Hutchinson have more upside?Not in my top 10.
Prefer McMahon (also not in top 10)
If I was taking either it would be for current needs and McMahon is ahead imo.Why?
Based on what? That he's come down from country footy?Doesn't Hutchinson have more upside?
True but we could be comparing to what quality will be there at remaining picks after we've matched FS bids.Empty words if the quality isn't there.
