Draft Day is here

Unlike last year when the excitement of adding No.1 pick Harley Reid to our list was palpable (and also near certain), this draft is uncertain and viewed with equal parts excitement and trepidation

We go into the first night with pick 12, which is expected to slide to 15 after academy and Father Son selections and a lot of guesswork on who we’ll take. Or even if we actually use that pick with rumours circulating that we might trade up or back

Night two we have pick 26 (subject to change) along with a gaggle of late picks. Again, there’s the possibility of trading into the draft with another pick using one of our later future picks and even less certainty on who we might pick

The one near guarantee is that NGA product, Malakai Champion, will be an Eagle at some point over the next couple of days

So sit back and watch to see how the draft unfolds whilst praying we don’t do something stupid

Whilst it's quite funny and I wish we could claim it...

I feel all this talk of is "****ing over Cockburn" is a bit over the top, and not exactly accurate.

We hardly ****ed them over. We had the pick, they didn't. At most, we refused to trade with them and allowed Port, who were picking in front of Freo anyway to take Berry.

I don't think we can claim some sort of trolling here. Freo were never in with a chance at Berry without our help anyway, which they were never getting.

If we dicked anyone over, it's Port. Feigned like Freo were a chance at their player when they probably never were.
The most likely scenario is that we knew Port were taking Berry, we didn't care, but we wanted more time to decide on our pick so just traded back one spot and picked up a free pick that we'd use and Port likely won't.
