Once you add priority picks for Port, GC and Bris plus half-a-dozen compo picks from GWS in exchange for out of contract players, our second pick will be around the pick 40 mark and third rounder in the late 50s.

don't we have a spare pick from last year in the 30s?

As mentioned on other threads we have the compensation pick we rec'd in the Tambling trade that we have elected not use this year

Banked for end of 2012

We're not using this year that end of first round compo pick we got for trading Tambling. Using it this year would make it a pick 30 draft selection. It's better off holding off until next year when it'll become a top 20 pick. We can use the compo pick in any of the drafts up to 2014 but we need to say which draft it is prior to the season of the year we want to use it.

I reckon using that pick this year might have allowed us to trade for a ruckman while keeping pick 1. Hope we don't lose our first pick and still get a ruck. Wonder what would Freo want for Z Clarke

The pick will be worth more next year. It's expected to be a stronger draft so a top 20 pick will be valuable to have; alternatively being pick 20 it'll be worth more at the trade table.

I won't be happy if we don't gain a midfielder with pick 10 and a high jumping ruckman in his early 20's from another club from the draft. Wonder what midfielder and ruckman we're most likely after

Dom Tyson would be a good get as a midfielder but he may not still be around at pick 10. Mitchell Grigg is probably next up around our first pick (another 6fter though at 183cm and 81kg). Grigg has the reputation of an elite left foot kick and is an inside mid. Hardwick may like/want a leftie given his Hawthorn coaching background.

If we could hold off another year we could pick and choose a top quality ruckman under free agency. We could also this year target another ruckman in a state league late in the draft (we have Derickx to come back from injury as well). Us supporters are going to have to tolerate more pain in 2012 so no point throwing away a top pick just to get a ruckman next year when we'll still struggle onfield. Next year's draft we could have say picks 5, 20, 25, 38, 56, etc plus target a quality ruckman free agent. Nail most of them (apparently it's going to be a stronger draft than this year) and our list management could be back on track.

Priority??? why would Port get a priority?

Priority??? why would Port get a priority?

Less than 4 wins in one season gets you an end of round 1 priority pick. Port has won only two games this year. Brisbane and Gold Coast could also potentially receive one.

i thought they canned the priority picks for 2010/11 drafts?

[one-eyed]

Here's an early mock draft from one of the blokes on BF who does one each year. It gives a guide on who is available this year.

Nope. West Coast received one last year (pick #26) for finishing with just 4 wins. They used it to select Jack Darling.
