We have enough WA boys to keep them here too. Club seems to hold interstate players well these days.

We are apparently interested in Adam Carafa.

Our Northern Knights love affair continues..... :shh

Phew...thought FJ must've been put back in charge of things there for a minute....... :help

Anyone know if we plan on getting involved in any live pick trading on draft night? :shh

I reckon we still need a big bodied midfielder.

Fyfe went 20 in the draft after we picked up “BigGirlsBlouse” Griffiths at pick 19.

We didn’t learn any lesson from that disaster because only a few years later we passed on Patrick Cripps believing “LazyArse” Lennon was of superior quality at pick 12.

I know we didn’t need them to win two premierships but my point is that it is possible to snare a potential future champion if you don’t pass on that type of midfielder
The club that keeps giving.

I think we need to have a better first pick to try and get someone like Dylan Stephens from Norwood. how we do it I don't know but getting closer to a top 10 pick could be important. Will Gould at 106kgs has lost me as a supporter. You cant be 6'2 and weigh in at 106kgs. Its outrageous. Dylan Stephens is my most wanted player for the Tigers  at the Draft.

Adam Carafa and Hugo Ralphsmith I expect to be selected with our later picks if available.

BF Carlton poster C42yadoor- one of the more reliable sources there - says us, Port & Dogs like Trent Rivers .. :shh

Like to know what the knock on Ben Kelly is - 200cm, lightning quick KPD/ruck that no-one anywhere is talking about.. :shh :shh

how do we get a pick around 10 or a pick inside 15.
Really like Kemp and it will take a top 10 pick. Also like the look of McAsey and he could be there somewhere between 10 and 15.
The other one i like whos a good sized mid and hes also had injuries Cooper Stevens.

Need to trade picks 19 + 38 + 56 (1,607 points) to the likes of:
Melbourne - pick 8 (1,551)
Carlton - pick 9 (1,469)
Fremantle - pick 10 (1,395)

Or maybe 19 + 39 + 41 (1,806) could get it done. Fremantle has pick 7 also (1,644).

Then go to the draft with 3 picks.

Have to hope that they need the points for bidding etc, which isn't too likely I should think.

Just another pick in the early twenties would probably do , maybe target Freo's pick 22 -as that would likely give us a shot at both De Koning & Rivers/Stephens.....- of course if the AFL hadn't completely shafted us over the Ellis compo we wouldn't need to worry... >:( we could also chuck in future picks if required but reckon we'll hang on to them as there could be up to three academy kids  (definitely Baxter, probably Dwyer & possibly Agog)  as well as MJ next year that we might need to match bids for ... :shh

Why would you trade down if you don't have  reason to.
You would have to pay over the odds like Carlton did last year

A top 3 player has a very good chance of playing 200 games, pick 20 not so good,
