I haven’t listened to it as at work.
If they didn’t pick them though it means neither are in their top 15 to 20 yeah?

That’s correct. I remember Eddie gloating how they got a steal selecting Colby, only for the kid to retire 2 seasons later with a heart condition
Twomey picked Chesser as needs based but mentioned Sonsie & Taylor as distinct possibilities. What I've been saying for a couple of weeks is that Howes, Sonsie, Taylor, Butler & McDonald could all be off the board by the time pick 30 rolls around, hence the reason I would be open to bundling our 4th & 5th picks (likely 31 & 32) to ensure we get one of the two.
Agree it’s doubtful but he is a lot higher on several club boards than most realise.
GWS are planning in case a bid comes before pick 13. We are a big wrap so won’t be surprised if both Hobbs and Ward are gone before 9 to see his name pop up.
He played in a VFL game for GWS at Punt Rd Oval this year in front of a number of our coaches and he was their best player.
The last draftable player to catch Dimmas attention in a game was Bolton.
We bid at 9 and some chance GWS let him through. Bid at 17 and it’s no chance
From what I read this mock draft is based on clubs needs and not who they think each club will pick.
This week's episode of Road to the Draft podcast features a mock draft of the first round of selections based on each club's needs for those picks.
The choices are picked by AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey and AFL national talent ambassador Kevin Sheehan as they discuss each club's priorities and where this year's draft talent fits in.
Just on Cal, 2 weeks ago his phantom draft had Sonsie at (16), Taylor (25), Tom Brown (23) and Fahey (26).

In this bumper edition, Cal Twomey ranks a whopping 35 players in the 2021 draft pool

Taylor Adams, Dion Prestia, Oliver Wines (slightly taller), Touk Miller, Rory Sloane.
That's off the top of my head. There is heaps of them.
Don’t think he has the same penetration in his kicking. He reminds me a lot of Jacob Hopper. An inside bull with a few tricks
Freo surely won't pick Hobbs over Erasmus or Johnson. Freo's pick 6 and 8, I personally think they will stick with homegrown talent and thus pick Erasmus and Amiss.
Andrew, does anyone really see him going outside the top 10? I don't.
Taylor Adams plays quicker Pick 13
Prestia Pick 9, much better athlete
Wines no comparison he is a much bigger body and he is in the top 5 distance runners at port
Miller much better athlete 10.19 3km time
Sloane I agree with, same size and athletic profile, he went Pick 44
Freo don’t show any bias to local talent. Top 10 picks in the recent past have been Brayshaw, Cerra, Young and Serong all Victorians. Henry was only taken at 9 due to a Carlton bid that SOS used to buy time for a trade. Freo are still pee’d about it.
One of Serong or Brayshaw will be their next captain.
They’ll pick Hobbs if they rate him higher.
Well yes, can't disagree with that, but have they seen enough of Hobbs to pull the trigger on him instead of Erasmus, Johnson, Amiss.
I personally think they will pick the WA lads.
2 more weeks all will be revealed. Haven't been this excited for a draft for years!
I like Johnson's athleticism and height as points of difference if we miss Hobbs or Ward and go a mid.
I haven't seen much of Erasmus.
What would he offer over Johnson?
I haven't seen much of Erasmus.

I think there is a big chance of them picking Amiss at 8. They are desperate for a key forward and he is the best available. Then one of Erasmus or Johnson at 10.
If I’m Richmond I’m on the phone to Amiss manager regularly setting up interviews and requesting info and also telling him we are keen if he gets past Freo. Might just get Freo nervous enough to bite at 8
