Harley Reid didn't win his clubs B&F last year. AA means heck all. How many times has Dusty, Vlaustin, Grimes, Cotchin, Shedda & Riewoldt missed out when they absolutely should have made it. It's a popularity contest not a reflection of real football abilitywhens a number one pick not made the AA?
Would you believe Taranto with Short's footskills?Neither. Doesn't have anything like Gulden's penetration. Kicks a lot of up-and-unders. Good player but not at the level of Cotch or Gulden.
195cm key forward Harry Armstrong may have arrived at the Champs late, but in his three games he's sure made an impression. He launches at contested marks, finds space and separation on the lead, and possesses an accurate cannon of a left foot making him a threat anywhere within 60 meters of goal. His five goals here were a single game high for the Champs series and a critical factor in Metro's win.
Yep less pressure when they take 3-4 years anyway. Also being a KPF in a middle to top team would be far easier to develop than a bottom team.Funnily enough, picks around 8-18 seem to be a much better place to draft KPF’s than anywhere else … McKay (10), Curnow (12), Riewoldt (13), Lynch (11), Amiss (8), N Caddy (10), O Henry (17), Georgiades (18), Naughton (9), Fogarty (12), Marshall (16), Hipwood (14), H Himmelberg (16), Wright (8), Langford (17), Daniher (10).
(Then there have been some top end successes, but loads of top end failures : Patton, Schache, Boyd, McCartin …)
I know some players above aren’t always forward and others didn’t start as forwards, but history tells you not to be afraid to grab a KPP outside the top echelon of picks, and in fact selecting one or two with picks from 8-18 is the best course of action.

Just went 17th in BF Phantom. Not such a secret after all.My boy Hamish Davis had 40 & 1 goal in WAFL colts. Was hoping we might take him with our second but might not get there if he keeps doing this

I think we may to also have throw in a 2nd rnd or future 2nd rnd pick for Adelaide to even look at it, but wouldn't hurt to see if they would be interested.If we stay at pick 1 and Draper looks to be around the #1 mark do we trade Pick 1 to Adelaide for Pick 5 and and a 2025 1st. They will want to pick SA kids. If Trainor goes to North then we could get faller out of Smith/Smillie/FOS or whoever jumps up the order and still have a future 1st from Adelaide which would probably still be a top 5-8 pick.
What if suns trade Lukoscious to crowsI think we may to also have throw in a 2nd rnd or future 2nd rnd pick for Adelaide to even look at it, but wouldn't hurt to see if they would be interested.
Pretty sure Taranto was same.I remember Bontempeli and Oliver came on late in the season so I dare say the top 5 could change alot in the next 6 weeks
Harvey Langford is a mad Tigers supporter as well.Can see North taking Trainor with their first pick. Pick 1 or 2.
And I have a feeling the Tiges will take/ are keen on Jagga Smith @ 1 or 2.
Basically fills a glaring hole in our midfield.
- from Richmond
- best performed player this year
- trained with the team already
- similar type of player to N.Daicos
- can replace the class of Cotchin in the middle.
Complaints on him being slightly built don’t add up in this modern aged footy, the game suits players with his attributes well. - and with protection from Taranto/Hopper could come into the team round 1.
He reads the drop of the ball better than anyone he’s played with and is creative and agile with his evasiveness.
If Baker leaves that opens the door for us to secure another top 10 pick. The chance of a player such as:
Could be in the 8-15 range
- Toby Travaglia - long term Vlastuin replacement. Reads the play better than most, takes the game on and has sublime skills.
- Jonty Faull - legit natural key forward. Should grow into a big marking, stay at home type of key forward. Riewoldt replacement.
- Sam Laylor - another bull for the midfield, can possibly fill a fragment of the void Dusty will leave.
- Murphy Reid - classy goal kicking midfielder. In the mould of Steele Sidebottom, he is the player people on this board think Sonise is. Edwards replacement
- Harvey Langford - no fuss, get the job done type of midfielder. Is a taller mid that could compliment a player like Jagga.
- Jobe Shanahan - lead up CHF type of key forward, leads up the ground and can take a grab. Good kicking action. Lynch replacement.
- Harry Armstrong - different sort of key forward prospect. Jarrod Roughead is who could resemble at AFL level. Long accurate left foot kick.
Anything added to those prospects would be a great draft.
I wouldn't have thought so. I see him at athletics, school footy and just watching his highlights, I think he's fine athletically...Aren't there concerns about Langford's athleticism? I'm suprised he's jumped up to four.
If he has a big slow contested ball winner I'd rather we steer clear given the players we currently have in there.
Good opinion.Something special about receiving Pick 1. Fans get excited after going through a shit year. I'd keep it. Just my opinion.
i agree no one should but this is adelaide rememberNo one's paying pick 5 for Atrosious.
Star Dockers duo reportedly meet with out-of-contract Tiger in bid to lure him home to WA
“That was part of the pitch there when the Tigers were in Perth a couple of weeks ago.”www.sen.com.au
I am wondering if we trade Bolton and Rioli we could get a better pick swap with Gold Coast and Fremantle if we offer to pay half their contracts?Ok hear me out.
Right now we hold pick 1, 21 & 35 in the first 2 rounds. What if the following was to unfold
Baker chooses WCE who then trade back with Fremantle so they can then target a WA kid like Bo Allen in the draft and get picks 7 & 14 for 3 & 23. They then trade 14 to us for Baker.
Gold Coast comes hard for Daniel and trades picks 8, 9 & 20 for Daniel & 14.
Fremantle now armed with picks 3 & 10 then come late for Bolton & 9 offering both in a last minute all or nothing roll of the dice.
We lose Baker Bolton & Rioli but hit the draft with 1, 3, 8, 10, 20 & 21 in the first 2 rounds. Which could mean adding Draper Smith Langford Lalor with the first 4 picks and then target KPPs with the next 2.
We could then trade our remaining picks for 2025 picks and set up another raid in the draft .
A man can dream

whens a number one pick not made the AA?
I think North will take Trainor or will look to move back.
They dont need any more mids.
