Knightmare (yes bigfooty, but only his phantom draft) now has Nakia going to Geelong at 14 :(
Really hope we can pull out a trade coup and get in to the draft early enough to get him...
The reports are this year the picks 5 through 20odd could go in any order. More a lottery than most years
So....
17, 20, 62.
Two mids with 17 and 20.
One outside with some speed and goal sense and the other a ball winner.
pick 17 and 20 to add to our stocks from the last 3 years.
Zerrett, Fantasia, JD, Ashby, Gleeson, Kav, Jerrett and of coarse Hepp.
Great crop of kids coming through.
our spine is looking fantastic.
JD (20) Buckets (23) TBell(25) Hurley (24) Hooker(26).
Wow.
Goddard and Garlett.
Cocktatease and Ellis.

Wouldn't be getting too excited or worried about that right now. Even the best of bigfooty (and knightmare is one of those) gets overexcited about some of these guys at this time of year. Generally someone who nobody's seen much of, so they haven't had a chance to get turned off by his weaknesses. I suspect Nakia is this year's candidate for the role.
Easily 17 & 20 the most important draft picks to get right for a long long time...we could actually lesson the sanctions pain significantly with Zach Merrett last year and getting these two right.
17. Cockatoo
20. Menadue
62. Shane Yarran
Won't happen but that's what I'm hoping for.

Geelong have pick 10 now.
We desperately need to capitalise on these two selections.
Carlisle, Daniher, Hurley, Merrett, Edwards, Gleeson, Ambrose, Colyer, Zaharakis, add these two selections.
I'm very pleased we got McKenna, I think he'll turn out to be something very very special. I think our windows closed, I'm starting to look at the future.
Then, rookie list someone with actual pace please. I don't care if they can't kick. Someone who breaks lines, who has the x-factor.
Outside mid and a key position utility.
Rookie another ruckman, Tippa hopefully, an inside mid.
Two fast dynamic mids with foot skills and good endurance.

I would be very surprised. We must recruit a big fella. Our key position back-up stocks are just about non-existent. Actually we should get two in.
List balance is all out in my book. Getting too old - the mass exodus could be next season - and a plethora of half back types but too few key position types.
Want to rookie Norwoods Wilson, genuine pace on small forward.
like Dell’ollio but probably time he goes, see if he can crack a team elsewhere.
Definitely want to recruit to good mids with first 2 picks. Kpp players would take longer to develop, so if looking for an immediate backup then would look for a cheaper/rookie mature age.

I like Wilson, would be a good get if we can squeeze him in.
Dell is gone, 100%. Can't stay on the rookie list any longer, and definitely no space on the main list now. Ambrose will struggle to be upgraded.

I’m pretty sure they’ve already committed to upgrading Ambrose

I'm sure that's the case. The point I'm making is that to do so they need either delist someone extra, or demote them from the main to rookie list. Kave perhaps. We're light on for options.
