      - Clubs are permitted to have a minimum of 37 players and a maximum of 44 players on their books. Primary lists must have between 36 and 38 players. The list can be just 36 Primary listed + 1 Rookie up to 38 listed +6 Rookies. So it is OK if we don't add any more to the primary list.

        It was worth the heartache of having a @@@@ season, to pick up our own kids.
        Lovely first two rounds.

        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

          I'm hoping today is Brothers day. Another McCartin and Papley would round out a very successful Draft.

            Tend to agree that brothers day could be on the cards. What about a Walsh (Bro of the Blues gun?) if we had 3 spots take them all McCartin, Papley and Walsh!

              My thoughts on selections

              Bloody well done!

              Firstly didn't think that McDonald would be available. Big plus (While Phillips was my choice, he was gone and has boomer number out of retirement - well done Roos) Happy with that and welcome!
              If Campbell is/was rated by the Hawks, and we got him. (Suck eggs hawks) and validates that we have a gem.
              Noted that the Cats traded to try and get Gulden, and we got him. (Suck eggs cats) and validates how highly they rated him also.

              Agree with the draft ratings of A+ for the swans!

              Welcome to the big league, good luck and play well.

                As annoyed at the Hawks probably are about us getting McDonald... We'll look back on September 20, 2020 as the day they lost him and we got him.
                If they hadn't pumped the Suns.. or if Rowbottom hadn't been smothered by Bliclavs.. we would have DGB and they would have McDonald. Going to be a great rivalry to watch bloom between them.

                Really hoping we go for McCartin today. McDonald is 3 to 4 years away from being the forward we need. Yes he'll play next year, but it takes time. The King boys are about to start season 3 and yet to dominate.
                With Buddy, Reid, Sinclair all on last legs, we really need another key forward, and a 24yo McCartin is right in the age sweet spot.

                  Paddy McCartin and Henry Walsh are the obvious options. A potentially good KPF and a decent project ruck.

                  Young Papley is not needed but the romance of picking papleys brother is certainly appealing

                    Kudos to our recruitment and list team for what they've done to replenish the list over the past three or so years.

                    Not every player will make it, but we've gone from a plodding, unskilled side to one with the potential to play with dare and dynamism, and filled some crucial roles along the way.

                    Blakey, Rowbottom, McInerney, Stephens, Campbell and Gulden potentially give our play through the centre a great mix of run, kicking skills and contested work.

                    McDonald up forward, McCartin down back and the potential for one or two others like Gould or Ling or Warner to come through gives us hope.

                    A way to go, and some more holes to fill - but our trajectory is good.

                      Agree..

                      On another note, can someone confirm if we ran a points deficit last night?

                        A trivia note. JUH and Logan were born on the same day and Logan is 2cm taller and 2 kg heavier according to the AFL.

                          No. Errol was picked up at 32 which requires 584 points (387 points only after Academy discount ). Still points left.

                            I agree with this.
                            I think the biggest thing we need to see is a willingness of a coaching staff to back these kids in and let them play. Over to you Horse...

                              Agree, and I know Horse has critics, but I think the signs this year were that he recognises the changing talent at his disposal, and wants to unleash them. Let's hope he keeps it up.

                                Very subdued reaction in the McDonald household when we called his name out. But it's understandable - their 18yo son is about to be a 6 hour flight from home now. It's up to our club to do it's very best to help Logan prosper.

                                The Campbell household was a contrast. No celebration when the Hawks called his name but pandemonium when we matched the bid. Clear he didn't want to go anywhere else other then us. I'm excited to see Braeden play and hope he has good enough form to debut early.

                                Of the 3 though, I think Errol is the most likely to play R1. He will be a great sidekick to Paps in F50. Paps has been a bit of a one man show in applying F50 pressure but Errol will help him in this and hopefully free Paps to really hurt the opposition in attack.
