    For arguments sake, say West gets nominated with pick 28 - we are able to then use pick 27 on a player and the points from pick 32 (and potentially some from 45) to get West anyway cant we?
    He says West will go before pick 27 most likely "(bid on West likely to come 15-30)".

        I’d be stoked if Smith fell to us
        I only saw a small body of work , but it was impressive .

          Jordan Clark seems to have been linked with us more and more. As a guy who's mostly played off half back, is he what we need?

            A second Ed Richards?
            Although a HB at the champs he played elsewhere at lower levels. Pace + kicking skills, he's definitely in the frame.

                          Irrespective of which club he plays for, he's clearly talking about alcohol in the context of himself and not generally of alcohol on others. I'm not sure why it would polarise anyone. No more if he chooses not to take drugs, or have tattoos, or bad hair cuts, or be/not be monogamous, or eat or not eat carbs. If we are trying to re-set standards, on the track, on the field and off the field. It sounds like he's got the capability to be an example in all areas in addition to being a good footballer. If we get him and any other player has an issue with his personal life choices and doesn't give him a shot, they can get another club. Personally, I think it won't mean a thing to the club and its players that draft him.

                            AFL.com have finally added the vision of players on their draft tracker.

                            For those having doubts on Jye Caldwell have a look at him.

                              I got a little confused watching it as he must have gone from #4 to #3 for a game and in the next clip, there's another #3 that looks very similar.

                              Obviously they're highlights so they're designed to look good but they certainly do look good. Good movement in traffic, nice kick on both sides, also handballs easily on both sides. Very impressive set of highlights given how little he played this year.

                                Yes, noticed that as well

                                He's explosive with good skills. Very much an impact player
