    I have seen it mentioned that up to 25 players have actually been invited. Should that be the case it sounds like pretty great news.
    They haven't finished the list for the invites yet so things might change. It's a good sign if true though

      This is interesting:

        Very much so considering that they need a genuine tall forward and could honestly do with a little more height in defense. Might be a bluff to get Port or Gold Coast to trade up to pick 4 as both are keen on Rozee.

          Some of us just don't like the taste of alcohol. (Or being drunk, or being hungover)
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            They're also desperate for class. I can understand the appeal of Rozee, we seem to love him too.

            We may have the difficult decision on whether to take Max King or not. Port are rumoured to like Ben King and GCS might be tossing up between Caldwell and Hately.

              I get the feeling that the Saints want Rankine. Could they be using Stevo to try and bluff the Suns?

                That is brilliant news for us. Pick 32 should be maintained and we may even get a token late pick back if he gets an early 20s bid, although it may also be acknowledgement that a late first round bid will certainly get matched.

                  The Crows are keen on Claremont big man Oliver Eastland.

                    I just watched Bailey Smith's highlight reel. He looks an absolute ripper.

                      We need a key forward and he's apparently a ripper, but that knee is still a huge risk to me. He could be the biggest boom/bust out of the draft.

                        Yep - apparently ligament damage too.

                        He does seem super-dedicated though and the other positive is he was pushed in a marking contest so if it is an impact ACL that's far better than the Libba/Patton style innocuous incidents.

                          Ironic if we do end up with Smith, we really will have more Baileys than your Nan, and he wouldn't even drink it...

                            All these Baileys should really help us climb the ladder!

                                AFLW also with a Bailey.

                                Maybe we also draft the other Bailey Williams - just to confuse things.
