Three years ago we had roughly 10,11 and 14 and ended up with Amiss, Johnson and Erasmus. Amiss is a gun but the other 2 are unknowns at this stage. Picks are too overrated on big footy.

Not necessarily. Port more likely to go tall if a good tall is still on the board. WCE keen on Shanahan if available. Freo are reportedly keen on Armstrong. Richmond are playing a dicey game - if they think the key talls are still going to be available at 18. GWS also interested in talls.
If Richmond select Berry for example at 11 and leave the suite of talls on the board - it increases likelihood of Port and potentially WC going tall. Leaving someone Richmond overlook at 11 and also the other players that WC/Port overlook for the unexpected drop of say Armstrong and Shanahan.

Are we ok if its Reid? Highly regarded just not a clear need atm.
Lindsey or Berry
Lindsey or Berry
I'm not tearing my hair out if we don't chase a pure mid.
Berry plays in the forward line and midfield rather than being specifically a small forward. In his videos he shows plenty of midfield ability (and is the same height as Ivisic who was mentioned earlier as a midfield option). At our 2nd other dual position midfielders could be available; eg Hannaford, Hynes, Davis, Ough. But they all offer strength forward of centre as well
Simpson is one of the future midfield options not mentioned before. He doesn't really look like a small forward.
The club seems to think Narkle is better than anyone we could grab late in the draft.
If Longmuir doesn't give significant midfield/cb opportunities to Bolton, Jackson and possibly Chapman then I'd be disappointed.
Next year we seem certain to bring in 2 NGA players with midfield potential, and Robinson the year after.
The single reason we crashed and burned this season is lack of tall depth.
Murphy Reid has had Bartel/Sidebottom comparisons, why is he sliding out of the top 10?
The Wolfman's 2024 Phantom Draft - Final Version - The Mongrel Punt
The focus now shifts to the 2024 AFL Draft, and the Wolfman has the best Phantom Draft in the business. Here are Jeremy Wohlfart's picks
themongrelpunt.com
Has us taking Reid, but what I find interesting is the reason why he's got Port taking Berry just before us:
"I’m a Port guy and I’ve ummed and ahhed over this one for a bit. Port have been looking at a range of players, but especially talls. But that being said there’s something to be said for their multiple meetings with Joe Berry and the interest Robbie Gray has had in him. For context, the last time Gray was this interested in a player, Port drafted him. His name was Zak Butters. Enough said."

Imagine if Snuffaluphagus got so angry he posted something inappropriate.
Van_Dyke here's your opportunity to unleash the banzhammer upon him!
People tend to make unrealistic comparisons with superstar players and ignore that they are more likely to never reach that level. You will almost never get a comparison for a top 5-10 player with the likes of Toumpas, Phillips, Billings, etc, when that could be a perfectly reasonable comparison. Lukosius screamed Jack Watts, but people were saying Nick Riewoldt.
Can't wait for tomorrow when Sheehan and Ablett are waxing lyrical on the Foxtel coverage about how Pick 64 reminds them of a young Bontempelli or Gary Ablett Jr.

Steve Buscemi is a hack and not funny
Yeah sure, but today would be fun AF. Because today, they are all 6xAA 300 gamers.
Because according to draft experts, you can routinely pick up Danger in the 40s and N.Riewoldt in the teens every year.

Richmond taking Berry with 11 would be quite shit

Well it was great having you at the Wazzas...
why
If this happens, I think we will try and trade with WB.
Our 14(17) & 30 (33)
for WB 17(20) & 25(28)
Allows WB to jump ahead of GWS.
We can get Hannaford at 20.
and (28) steal a WA player the pick before WC(29).
For me depth in the next 2-3 years is making sure we have a number of players developing and hopefully ready to take over.
We've added plenty of KPDs and genuine rucks in 2022 and 2023. I'd almost say too many tbh. Having said that those players aren't ready day one ever - you don't go and draft even more just because those guys aren't ready. You've got to give a chance for them to develop and if it doesn't work we unfortunately need to trade or look at the state leagues.
I'm more than happy enough to draft almost everything else as long as we don't put too many eggs in one basket. I would almost consider drafting any two players that are very similar as overkill tbh.
