Saints trading 40 and 42 for Gold Coast's pick 27,
Suns sending 24 to Brisbane for 30s picks
and Freo landing Suns' pick 38 for third-rounders.

From James De Ven - the bloke posting Tiger draft rumours.

My 2023 AFL mock draft, this was extremely hard to make, so much uncertainty and it’s so even.

I’ll look back at this picks and think what the hell was I thinking, but I tried going different, and I’ll see how I go come the end of tomorrow!

Hate these picks as much as you want!
