Crows and Giants both paid a premium for matching those bids and that’s exactly what the Giants should have done by calling out Ashcroft at pick one. |
We need someone to bid on Alwyn Davey before Essendons next pick.
The next 9 picks are:
22 GWS
23 WCE
24 Dogs
25 Ess
26 North
27 Swans
28 Pies
29 WCE
30 Pies
I could see all of GWS, WCE and Dogs bidding on Davey. If Swans had a pick beforehand, I could see them doing it too. The other thing for Essendon to watch is a bid on Munkara, if it comes before pick 40 they miss out on him.

In an attempt to mitigate any go home factor, do we consider taking another Claremont or W.A lad that Edward Allan would have played his junior footy with?
Our exisitng W.A lads are Tom Mitchelll (Claremont), Darcy Cameron (Claremont), Bobby Hill (Perth), Bill Frampton (South Fremantle), Trey ruscoe (East Fremantle).
We have 28,30,47. I'd like us to grab both of the remaining Claremont lads, Sam Gilbey and Hugh Davies. Davies at 197cm offers KPD potential, models himself on Darcy Moore.

Gilbey could be a Howe replacement down the line, with both offering us the potential to bolster our defensive stocks from 2025 onwards. I'd be rapt if we make a move on both of them.
WCE have picks 23,29
Freo 33
Cal Twomey's Phantom Draft ~
30. Sam Gilbey (Claremont)
A medium intercept marking defender, Gilbey is an exceptional reader of the ball in flight who not only gets to the right spots behind the ball to take intercept marks but also displays sticky hands overhead. Despite his light frame, he absorbs opposition contact well and holds onto his marks. An athletic defender who moves well, Gilbey is a capable rebounder and sound ball user.
33.Darcy Jones - Swan Districts (WA)
A small but speedy outside midfielder, Jones breaks the lines and takes on the game with an unmatched level of dash and dare, displaying rare speed and agility. Breaking the record in the agility test during this year's AFL Draft combine, while Jones plays a high impact-per-possession game, he also finds and wins a good amount of his own ball.
44. Jed Hagan - East Fremantle (WA)
A small, speedy impact player, Hagan possesses the versatility to play forward, back or through the midfield. An advanced player for his age who earned eight WAFL League games this year, Hagan possesses a neat burst of speed, is a composed and reliable kick who is a capable contested ball winner for his size and particularly excels winning loose balls.
45. Kaleb Smith - East Fremantle (WA)
A star during the WA state combine, Smith won the 20m sprint and placed third in the agility test. One of this draft's most damaging rebounding defenders, Smith is a line breaker with speed and power who aggressively takes on the game with ball in hand and hurts opposition sides with his penetrating kick.
55. Hugh Davies - Claremont (WA)
An excellent reader of the ball in flight, Davies is one of the premier intercept marking key defenders in this draft as a high leaper who is a strong overhead mark. Displaying composure with ball in hand, Davies is a clean and reliable rebounder from defence.

Not me. If you’re good at your job, then you’re good at your job.
Twomey at least attends a lot of junior footy games. There are plenty of “ experts “ who don’t. Stack him up against Montagna on Foxtel and you will quickly appreciate Twomeys credibility and knowledge much more. |

Is there room for sentiment in football still and is it getting in the way of a Davey bid?
Father son, indigenous and a twin whose brother will join Essendon also after overcoming multiple knee injuries. That's a triple whammy of the warm and fuzzies.
He'd still get to Essendon anyway I know but it's bizarre to me no one has bid and are giving Essendon a free ride when he was rated by most as an end of 1st round talent.
Stuff sentiment. Make them pay a price!

Going By Reports and Rumors I say most likely Outcome could be
Pick 28 - Ryan
Pick 30 - Richards

If I recall correctly the last time we were linked to a 23yo regional lad we overlooked him and took McLarty instead.
That player, Tom Stewart.
If we go with Richards I'll be keeping an open mind.

Any two of those listed below will do me:
Harry Barnett (West Adelaide)
Brayden George (Murray Bushrangers)
Lewis Hayes (Eastern Rangers)
Lachlan Cowan (Tasmania Devils)
Jakob Ryan (Glenelg)
Max Gruzewski (Oakleigh Chargers)
Henry Hustwaite (Dandenong Stingrays)
Sam Gilbey (Claremont)
Anthony Munkara (Tiwi)
Barnett or Keeler as a ruck option
George, Munkara as exciting forward
Cowan, Ryan, Hayes as defenders
Not to say the other lads are without a claim.
Take Barnett Keeler or George at Pick 28
Take Cowan, Munkara, Ryan or Hayes at Pick 30
