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

We're really going all in on midfield bulls, aren't we? It'll at least be a nice change from watching mids like Kelly, Gaff and Sheed getting brutalised over the last few years.
We won't be bullied, that's for sure.

Reid's probably going to be our 'smallest' FT mid :oops:
 
Makes a nice change from having a precise-kicking gameplan, then drafting blokes who couldn't kick for shit.

Plus, we have enough classy players who go to water when the pressure ramps up. Good to have some tough campaigners that will dig in when the game is on the line.

We are setting up to build a midfield half back line that are hard nuts. Will add Warner and a top three pick next year (to Reid and Hewett) and we add the class to the round us out.
This is key. Warner is the cherry on top if we can land him, then it will make all the goers we've been picking up worthwhile.
 
Reads like a much bigger version of Liam Baker.

Yes was trying to come up with someone and Baker is a great comparison.
We are going to play quick footy and that’s exciting. Be mistakes a plenty while we get it burnt into our DNA but the end product could be exciting as hell.
