Re: 2022 Draft Watch

Yes please. From what I've seen this kid can play. But i've got MJP ringing in my ears.

He's got ability no doubt but I'd prefer others.

I can’t see Oskar Baker nominating, who we are reportedly into. Sitting back away from the draft for an SSP straight to dogs? (Or DFA if list balance is tweaked)

Interesting…

Tinnitus

My joke either failed miserable or you just plain rejected it which is the same thing.

I have it too and remember when It started. Billy Thorpe at our school social, small room, amps full blast, my ears rang for 5 days.

I have slowly lost some hearing over the years and tests showed I can't hear high pitch sounds, so bit the bullet and have a hearing aid. If you want to go down that track, I highly recommend Costco. Best set up with equipment and pricing for aides - not cheap $1800 to $10k.

Forgive me if this seems like a stupid question, but have you noticed a big difference?

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

Yes I have and the tinnitus has basically stopped - or I don't really hear it like before.

The biggest issue I had was watching TV, and I can understand a conversation better as I don't miss words any more.

I have an app on my phone to control various situations, like wind outdoors, noise in small room etc, and there are some advantages such as phone calls straight to my ears, listening to music and radio on my Phone.

I think many people don't get them because they feel a bit embarrassed, thinking it is an old persons thing, but that doesn't worry me. People happy to get glasses, but don't look after their ears.

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

From the Age. Will we make a late move?

Melbourne are contemplating trading a future first-round pick on draft night as they battle with a number of clubs to get hold of the Giants’ valuable No.19 selection, which will launch the second night of the AFL national draft.

The Demons have two future first-round picks after receiving Fremantle’s future first-rounder in exchange for premiership ruckman Luke Jackson, who requested a trade home to Western Australia at the end of the season.

Melbourne’s premiership list was built on canny trading of draft picks, with the club securing two top-10 draft picks across multiple seasons when they were pushing towards finals.

The Western Bulldogs also hold two future first-round picks, having landed the Brisbane Lions’ selection when they traded Josh Dunkley. That also gives the club a strong hand to go after pick 19 on draft night if a player they seek remains available.

The Giants, who have three selections before 19 and a future first-round pick, are happy to assess what might be available before agreeing to any trade, with trading of picks not allowed now until the draft begins on Monday, November 28.

The Brisbane Lions, Fremantle and Port Adelaide traded out their future first-round selections during the trade period for Dunkley, Jackson and Jason Horne-Francis, respectively.

Clubs have also been battling to get hold of a top-10 pick since the trade period ended, packaging up multiple selections in an attempt to secure a prized early pick, but clubs holding those early selections have stood firm.

North Melbourne (picks No.2 and 3), Greater Western Sydney (1, 15 and 18), West Coast (8 and 12) and Sydney (14 and 17) have multiple first-round picks this year.

Essendon are listening to offers for their No.4, knowing South Australia’s Mattaes Phillipou may be available down the order, but recruiters who spoke to The Age believe none of the top-10 choices will change hands.

The asking price, if a trade does eventuate, will differ depending on whom the Bombers engage in discussions, but industry sources said a future second-round selection may be enough if they go back only one to three spots.

Melbourne have had success in being aggressive in their approach to trading selections during their rebuild. They managed to top off their 2021 premiership team when they traded a future first-round pick to North Melbourne in exchange for pick eight at the end of 2019, meaning they had two top picks, which they used on Jackson and Kysaiah Pickett in that draft. Both played key roles in the grand final victory.

The first selection on the second night of the draft has increased market value because it gives clubs the first pick of the pool of players not chosen on the first night. The club which has that pick can take their time to assess the remaining players available and either guarantee they get their targeted player or take a player they rank highly who has been surprisingly overlooked by other clubs in the first night.

Fremantle (Nathan O’Driscoll, 2020) and Brisbane (Deven Robertson, 2019) both completed trades in previous years to nab the first pick of the second round and secure draft targets who had slid.

The first pick on the second night is likely to move out to pick 21 or 22, with father-son prospects Will Ashcroft, Jaspa Fletcher and potentially Alwyn Davey jnr all chances to attract bids on the first night.

Melbourne already have pick 13, on top of No.37 in the second round, and are showing interest in defender Jakob Ryan and forwards Matt Jefferson and Brayden George. The Demons picked emerging forward Jacob van Rooyen with selection 19 in last year’s draft.

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

My hope is still Picks 39, 60’ish and F2 for Pick 22 (24) after shuffling of Essendon:

Now Picks: 11, 21, 22

Imagine 19 added 11, 19, 21 & 22.

If WCE wanted Buss and we didn’t (made them believe the opposite), swap WCE 11 for 12 and 20 for 22 and F3 tied to Port

Then Pick 12 (not a biggy if we didn’t want Buss and they did) - and then the first three picks on night two 19, 20 & 21.

Say Allan or another good mid (mid) on night one, and with possibly Konstanty (sml fwd), George (fwd), Hayes (kpd) - all top 25 talent. Plus Lobb & Jones. Oskar Baker looks like a noticeable non draft nomination so maybe add him on a wing too as a SSD/DFA.

2023: F1, F3, F4 x 3 and $1M+

Dunkley would effectively become Picks 19, 21 & (in part) 22 on the above. Taranto 2,216 DP’s. Dunkley about 2,250 weighting 1/2 of Pick 22.


I’m not convinced we will be that aggressive.


All lot can be done. Fun to think about what ‘could’ be done through the live trading.

We did state publicly we're taking three live picks to draft (plus two rookie upgrades), so like you said I don't think we plan on being too aggressive.

GCS are all but set on Bailey Humphrey apparently - Essendon's pick 4 still the wildcard.
