In what way? The vision I've seen of him he looks to have good foot skills and vision. Just thought for a late pick he may be handy.

Yes, others that will almost certainly be in there. It almost never follows the predicted order does it? My point was that at 12 we should be able to grab a player of quality. Whilst having a couple that I prefer, there are another 3-4 that I will be more than happy to take as well. Will be interesting, as it is every year, to see whom Wells likes and who he bypasses.
I'm not sure he's in the conversation for the top 15? I don't know much about him, but his TAC numbers aren't great (avg. 19 disposals), and most phantoms have him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

said it before and I'll say it again, we have to get Curtis Taylor. How he isn't in any preferences by people in this board is beyond me! He just makes things happens which is something we lack in our forward line
I’m not sold on him. He only averaged a goal a game in the TAC and doesn’t find a lot of the ball. He seems like another Hayden Crozier or Jed Lamb. Pick 12 is too early.

Too much time on my hands...
Picks & Points.
Take away Father-Sons and Academy Picks.
Just doing some predictions... just my opinions boys so take it easy. LOL.
Here's how it might pan out, give or take a selection or two.
Nick Blakey (Bids 7-10) will cost Sydney Picks 26 & 33 at a minimum.
Rhylee West (Bids 12-15) will cost Footscray Picks 27 & 32 most likely.
Tarryn Thomas (Bids 12-18) will cost NM Picks 42, 47 & 48 most likely.
Bailey Scott (Bids 25-30) will cost NM Picks 49, 55 & 58 at a pinch.
Isaac Quaynor ( Bids 18-25) will cost Collingwood Picks 41 & 44.
Will Kelly (Bids 25-35) will cost Collingwood Picks 51 & 57.
Conner McFadyen (Bids 15-25) will cost Brisbane Picks 30... maybe 56 as well.
Kieren Briggs (Bids 30-35) will cost Pick 52.
Jarrod Cameron (Bids 30-40) will cost the Eagles Pick 61.
Buku Khamis (Bids 35-40) will cost Footscray Pick 45.
So with 10 players taking away between 17-19 picks things look a little different for our picks.
Picks 50 equates to selection 38 or 39.
Picks 59 equates to selections 41 to 44.
Picks 60 equates to selections 42 to 45.
Scenario #1
Picks 12, 38, 41 & 42.
Scenario #2
Picks 12, 39, 44 & 45.
So with Nathan Krueger locked in and Oscar Brownless most likely being pick 38.
We should have Picks 12, 43 & 44 going in to the draft.
Pick 12 can go a dozen different ways from ...
A King boy (Hope NOT), Jackson Hately, Liam Stocker, SAM STURT, RCD or a CHAYCE JONES.
The interesting part for me is what happens at 43 & 44
Some say Bailey Williams will drop(Twomey is an IDIOT)... I doubt it.
Will Ely Smith drop that far??... YeahNah don't think so.
FWIW I do like 2 from SA, Boyd Woodcock from North Adelaide & Liam Fitt from South Adelaide.
Conner Idun from the Falcons or even Stefan Radovanovic from the Jets look like promising young defenders.
Cheers Boys & GO CATTERS!!

Those later picks end up looking significantly better once the father/son/academy picks are removed.

Reckon Max King is more likely to slide due to his knee injury.

Heard the other day that Max is doing his rehab at the Saints.
Could be an indication they will select him
I think it's the other King that may fall if one will. I doubt it though.

That is a great summary and hopefully shows that we will get much better selections than we have at face value. I don't think we will have to use 38 on Brownless though because I don't think a bid comes early enough. If that's right then hopefully we keep 38 and might not even have to use a pick on him as we could potentially rookie him.
You made the same mistake that I did when I first did this exercise haha. In that the father-son and academy picks actually push out the early picks and then they come back in again. Basically, it doesn't actually change it as much as you think it will, because you have to consider that once the pick is matched, the team whose pick it originally was then moves down the order.
Here's the one I made (with the last 4 players exempted because it's only 1 pick and doesn't change the order)
FIRST ROUND
Pick 1: Carlton
Pick 2: Gold Coast
Pick 3: Gold Coast (received as compensation for Tom Lynch)
Pick 4: St Kilda
Pick 5: Port Adelaide (received off Brisbane)
Pick 6: Gold Coast (received off Melbourne, via on-trades)
Pick 7: Western Bulldogs
Pick 8: Adelaide
Pick 9: Sydney - GWS original (bid on Blakey, matched by Sydney with picks 33, 39 and 40)
Pick 10: GWS
Pick 11: Port Adelaide (received off Fremantle, via on-trades)
Pick 12: GWS
Pick 13: North - original Geelong (bid on Tarryn Thomas IMO this is the latest he'll get taken, could be the Dogs that try for him too. Matched by North with picks 42, 48, 49 and 55)
Pick 14: Geelong
Pick 15: Adelaide
Pick 16: Fremantle
Pick 17: Port Adelaide
Pick 18: Adelaide
Pick 19: Collingwood - original Richmond (bid on Quaynor, have put it with Richmond but could be later. Doesn't matter anyway, as Pies will have to give up all their picks anyway along with future picks to pick both him and Kelly up. Matched by Pies with -insert picks-, 44, 51 and 57)
END OF ROUND ONE
Pick 20: Richmond
SECOND ROUND
Pick 21: Brisbane
Pick 22: GWS
Pick 23: West Coast
Pick 24: Adelaide
Pick 25: West Coast
Pick 26: Bulldogs - Melbourne original (bid on West. Could be earlier, could be later. Matched with 32 and 45)
Pick 27: Melbourne
Pick 28: North - Gold Coast original (bid on Bailey Scott, matched by North with 47, 58 and 59)
Pick 29: Gold Coast
Pick 30: GWS
Pick 31: Sydney
Pick 32: Bulldogs
Pick 33: Melbourne
Pick 34: Gold Coast
Pick 35: Brisbane
Pick 36: Fremantle
THIRD ROUND
Pick 37: Essendon
Pick 38: Brisbane
Pick 39: St Kilda (received off Melbourne, via on-trades)
Pick 40: Richmond
Pick 41: Sydney
Pick 42: Brisbane
Pick 43: Melbourne
Pick 44: Brisbane (received off Collingwood)
FOURTH ROUND
Pick 45: Fremantle
Pick 46: St Kilda
Pick 47: Geelong
Pick 48: GWS
Pick 49: Hawthorn
Pick 50: Melbourne
Pick 51: Brisbane
Pick 52: Geelong
Pick 53: Geelong
Pick 63: Geelong

It’s difficult to judge really, the bulldogs are the next team IMO who would take Ben King, it’s all depending if they’re happy with Boyd and Schache.
Can’t see a interstate team taking him if the brother is already in Melbourne.
Maybe he’s the player that slips, maybe the saints try and get another pick inside the 10 and get both
Would be very surprised if we had the opportunity to take him but he’d surely be too good to pass on if we did. Funnier things have happened.
The vision I have seen he reminds me of a smaller mid who can get in and attack the ball and man... but I have not seen him look good to great by foot.
As you know 2 to 3 minutes of highlights can be quite deceiving so id certainly not put to much strength in my comments
Damit ..when Luko slips thru ..we cant take him

Collier Dawkins has had the big growth spurt will he remain a mid that's the question, think Mitch Brown he was drafted to the Cats on his midfield exploits and was anything but.

Yeah I would be a little worried about his endurance. I could be wrong but I think he tested very poorly for the 2k time trial. Might end up being a bit like stringer in the sense that it would be great to have him as a mid but he just doesn't have the endurance.
Really? I’m surprised Turbo. Vision I’ve seen, which is limited granted, is of a guy with largely very good skills by foot. At that end of the draft anyone will have some deficiencies so it’s a matter of predicting their ceiling I suppose.
He did test poorly and that is the major knock. Is he capable of building a tank sufficient to play AFL? It would be interesting to know what sort of conditioning he’s done over the past couple of years.
Wonder where Menzel and Murdoch are with regard to next year? Am I correct in assuming we take 3 at the moment but that will increase depending on whether they are offered and/or accept new contracts.
Pipe dream unfortunately, Crows will snaffle him with 9 I'd say (could even go a little earlier)
