    Damn, really like the look of Eddie Ford and was hoping we'd select him late!

      McDonald is currently the favourite for Pick 1 - whether Adelaide bids for Ugle-Hagan or not - and it is almost impossible to see him getting past the Roos at Pick 2.

      So the almost impossible does happen, sometimes.

      Cal Twomey thinks we did very well.

      Ludwig thinks we did very well.

        Balmer's card is marked.

        Very exciting evening.

          Fox Footy (David King & Mike Ablett) had us, Essendon & Collingwood in that order as having nailed the draft, based on players who can make an immediate impact next year. Getting Logan McDonald unexpectedly was the clincher.

            So who gets which numbers? 6, 16, 21, 31, 33, 36, 37, 39, 40, 47 and above are available.

            Perhaps Campbell = 31, Gulden = 21, McDonald = 6? I would love to see a number 31 running around again, causing mayhem for the opposition.

              they do. nick Daicos, who is seen as a Number 1

                For those concerned about McDonald's willingness to come to the Swans, I recall another player who was so desperate to head home he would have done it, if his Mum hadn't put the foot down and told him "you can't come back - I've sold your bed!".

                That one worked out ok in the end...

                  Errol Gulden was listed on the AFL Draft night board as being 176 cm. It looks like he has grown rapidly over the last 1 year !

                    I found this interview with Logan McDonald interesting and gives some insight into his character, family (didn't know he was a twin), players he's modelled his game on, and so on.

                      One thing that was shown in some footage on Fox last night Re: Campbell was his ability to fly high for a big grab. I hadn’t heard that mentioned before or seen it any footage. He can launch. Will slot straight into a forward pocket/ flank next year you’d imagine

                        hmmm a big pies supporter
                        dream come true if drafted by the pies he said ......ahhhhhh

                        On the positive can Logan start if no Buddy up front in the early rounds.......if he is fit enough.

                        Logan averaged 3 goals per game in the snrs in the wafl 2020

                          We got what we wanted and were able to add to the long list of reasons to hate Hawthorn! A great night for us!

                            I don't read too much into him barracking for the Pies (except poor judgement). How many players actually play for the team they barracked for would be pretty small you'd think.

                            Logan's a Blood now. His support group (friends and family) would naturally want Logan and his team to do well. It would be a natural progression for those around him to start cheering for the Red and White too.

                              By my calcs our main list totals 36 (i think min is 37) do we need another one either upgrade or pre season. Rookie list currently stands at 5,total list 41 allowed 44. any agreement on these numbers
