      Would be good to see him slide to us, hard to see, but we're a fair way off from the ND.

          perhaps there are tradewinds blowing?

              That's as good as any rumour I've heard so far this year.

                  We would be negligent if we didn't.

                      How ready is he for AFL footy? Could he play 15 games next year?
                      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                          I wouldn't bank on 15 from any first year KPP recruits. He's a very good talent.

                              Not to be a spoilsport but why is this a thread? I would expect us to meet with every player we rate in the top 40, atleast once each.
                              I should leave it alone but you're not right

                                  Don't think that's the reality. Only a few clubs meet with each draftee - watch the Jack Billings / Luke McDonald / Ben Lennon doco for instance

                                      I'm actually with Soupaman on this one - it's not a surprise for me. I would be surprised (and dissapointed) if we didn't. How would we even know whether or not hes the kinda guy we want to trade for without talking to him and running him through the Macca-Good person test?

                                              I would also imagine that we would meet with all the top prospects considering we will have an early pick. In an article yesterday about St Kilda possibly trading the number 1 pick their recruiting manager Tony Elshaug said he still had around 60 home visits to potential draftees to make. That would be on top of those he had already visited. The recruiters cast their net wide.

                                                  Is there a difference between meeting a player now and interviewing them at say the ND?


                                                  Looking at the ladder right now and the teams below us who may want a key forward:
                                                  Saints Definitely
                                                  Dees Maybe, probably not
                                                  GWS Not likely
                                                  Lions Definitely

                                                  Carlton also may finish below us and may want a key forward.

                                                  I can't see us landing McCartin in the draft.

                                                      It would be a bit late to interview them at the draft! Do you mean the combine?

                                                          Freo has interviewed McCartin. Fascinating given there's no hope he'll still be there late in 1st round. Are Dockers plotting super trade?

                                                          Perhaps Freo looking at the Saints number one pick in exchange for???
