So from all reports Jake has:

  • had a chat with woohsa
  • meet with Xavier last week

But can I take that to the bank?

My source tells me that in order to woo Stringer to the club our apparel sponsor has agreed to bring back woolen guernseys.

Next year’s supposedly a weaker draft, so I’d try and offer next year’s first rounder first.

Other way around. Next year’s supposed to be a much stronger draft

I’m just going off what Lloydy said on Footy Classified.

Wow, no it isn’t, I’d offer 11 this year before I’d trade 18 from next years.

Just like every year, absolute guns are taken anywhere, in any round. This whole weak draft/ strong draft is always garbage

he’s right that the line
“next years draft is stronger”
is trotted out every year.

He’s a match winner will help us beat ■■■■ side like Brisbane,Freo.

I can’t speak for the overall strength of next year’s draft, but there’s certainly several of the most highly-regarded tall prospects in many, many years coming through.

Mind you, they also said that in 2006, and for various reasons (not all of their own making) Gumby, Hansen, Leuenberger, Sellar, Thorp etc never really ended up setting the world on fire.

They were also saying last years draft had top quality talls early in the year.

Judging a draft 12 months out is not an exact science.

“They” might have been saying that. i wasn’t.

100% agree with that, though. Judging a draft one day out is not an exact science. Hell, judging a draft a year AFTER the draft isn’t an exact science. You never know which way the dice are going to fall with injuries, development, long-shots, which of the kids are going to adapt best to the AFL environment. All you can do is make the best call you can based on experience and gut feel.
