Nobody seems to have a clue about Other. If even Bullus has no idea about him either, then he must be a serious smokey.You haven't mentioned Other either. What's the knock on him?
I'd say it will be a mid but perhaps Gibcus if he's still there.No idea re draft kids. What type are we likely to take? Mid, fwd?
Johnson whisper getting very strong.Gut says Hawks
They need an outside runner so it will be Ward or Johnson, the coach likes Johnson so maybe the choice has been made. Don't know but Ward is fine as a back-up plan.Johnson whisper getting very strong.

Interesting idea. If we are keen on Hobbs ,(and Hawks take Ward) we could play the WA teams off against each other. Johnson Amiss and Erasmus.My tip.....
We are going to trade pick 7 to Freo (most likely) for pick 8 and a future 3rd.
With pick 8 we choose Hobbs or Ward.
If we don't trade it to Freo, we will send it to West Coast for their first pick (10 I think) and a future 2nd round pick. Would think we end up with either Hobbs or Sonsie
Yes, I think I prefer the more rounded mid, Ward has a far superior outside game & I generally think you need that to justify such a high pick. Some interesting comparisons being made, Dan Hannebery just got a mention. He's a bit like Marc Murphy for mine, I think Hanners lacks polish at times whereas Ward is more clinical, even if that usually entails 30 metre kicks. His tank is exceptional and he has demonstrated a run and carry game. Overall a good package and a solid pick to get things started.If Hawks take Johnson then you would choose Ward over Hobbs?
Gibcus is tempting but I think Erasmus slightly aheadHobbs which please me as we have genuine gaps opening up with our contested and clearance ability
Have heard this as well.Johnson whisper getting very strong.
Or Hobbs slips out of the top ten, toss of a coin but I think Clarke will go with Ward.Have heard this as well.
IMO if Hawks pass on Ward then he slips outside the top 10.
We're pretty closely aligned. Rather than hoping for sliders though, I want us to trade up to secure Butler and hopefully Howes. But at least Butler. Him plus Sonsie and one of Rachele, Johnson and Hobbs, and whoever else we get is gravy.I haven't mentioned Rachele given he's looming as a Crow's pick but I would be pleased to get him nevertheless. I think I would be happy with a Johnson/Sonsie double act and then grab a few sliders down the order, whoever that may be.
I don't mind bundling a couple of twenties picks, those two would add a nice element.We're pretty closely aligned.
