    Brander sees himself as third banana. I think we would want a tall who could play at least number 2

      North farewells Trent Dumont (October 18, 2021) - YouTube

      It will be interesting to see given Kennedys maybe last year, Dawso and Hewett moving on whether we will opt for value experienced mid again to help our depth come finals........?

          I am new to this site and I am glad I have found it. I am a close family friend of one of Angus’s auntie’s in Melbourne. He has a big AFL family in Melbourne and he is one of 5 kids ( 4 boys and a girl) he lives in northern NSW (unsure where?) What I know about him, he played or the eastern ranges u16 NAB team ( unsure how he got the invite? Was living in Nrth NSW at the time, I think his older brother was playing for the eastern rangersu18 team at the time) and went to box hill sports school ( coached by Leigh Clarke, head coach of the northern knights NAB team). Lived in Melbourne for 4 months ( lived with one of his aunties).

          Return to Northern NSW for yr 11 and 12 .He is very smart boy and is parents wanted him home to finish his schooling. Played for a Nrth NSW AFL rep team, was made captain, played against Southport colt in QLD .Senior Southport coaches watched the game and invited him to train with /try out for their senior VFL team 2021 as a 17 year old. He was invited into this VFL team but his parents wanted home to do his Y12. Invited into the swans academy u19 program at the start of the year. Was made captain at 17. Play 2 games for the swans VFL team ( Melbourne and gold coast). Travelled with the swans senior team for 3-4? Weeks ( Melbourne and QLD). Then was brought home again to focus on his Y12. Made the allies squad and the only academy player to get an invite to the Melbourne combine.
          He is 190 cm and 90kg
          Run a 6:14 for his 2 km on a dirty track
          Yo-yo 21.8 and he can play ,I watched his Swans VfL game against the bulldogs in Melbourne

          From what I know about the family he is a quality and very humble kid. Loves afl. He played in the u15 Oz b/ball champs and in the NSW union country champs.
          He has a younger brother who is in the swans academy. Hamish Anderson ,I think he is 1 or 2 years younger than Angus

          Good profile on him draftcentral.com.au angus-anderson

            He wants to be a forward at his new club.....not a defender. He started as a forward in his junior days and was recruited as a forward by WC and just couldn't force his way in so they tried him as a defender. He's not a natural defender and he wants to be a tall forward.....which we don't need. Perhaps the Swans had the same opinion of his defending.

              They need an underwhelming KPF to replace Finlayson. At least he'll be cheaper than Lobb.

                  That was very interesting too. Finlayson seemed to be disinterested last season. I think there may have been some sort of falling out with the coach because 2019 and even 2020 were really good. Maybe he had already decided he wanted to go home

                    Welcome to RWO vicswan!

                    Great first post. You'll see that, when we stay on topic at all, these kind of quality insights with reliable information in them are not only not expected but they are quite exceptional. Mostly we go in for ranting, panicking, speculating, whingeing and that sort of stuff. So no need to wait until you have such good info to share before you next post. Thanks for sharing!

                      Would anyone be interested in swapping our pick 16 for Geelong's picks 30 & 32? AFL draft 2021: Geelong picks, Cats could trade selections says Steve Hocking

                      DVI point wise it's an improvement of well over 100 points (over 150 points when you factor in that the picks will get pushed back a couple). More importantly, it would give us three consecutive selections which gives us great assurance to be able to grab multiple players we want without having to risk missing out. And there will be a number of decent players still available at that point in the draft - although obviously probably not as good as in the first round. If we were being greedy we could push the cats to swap 34 for 39 as well and have 4 out of 5 consecutive selections.

                      Thoughts?

                        Don't know that we are intending to use more than three picks in the National Draft. Would need some more delistings to make list space on the senior list while we are likely to have more spots available on the rookie list.

                            We do not need points this year.

                              Yes, it depends on us deciding we can get a better player with the extra second round pick than Clarke or Ronke or whoever.

                                Be more interested in swapping 16 for Richmond's 26 & 27 and taking Corey Warner with one of them :-)

                                The club will be all over these type of trades if we are not that wedded to the handful of players likely to be at pick 16. Be prepared for anything to happen and don't get disappointed because the club knows waaaay more than we do about the draft pool.

                                Don't try and justify pick swaps on points as points are only relevant when matching bids. Pick 7 & 8 may be worth more points than pick 1 but you never swap pick 1 for them
