Well that's amazing. Not the actual picks/players, but that the clubs let intel out about what they will be doing. I much prefer the club to keep things tight. Thanks for the insight.

I think it is more like a flow-on effect in the first case - Rowell and Anderson are no secret so it doesn't worry Dees if Jackson pick gets known, then same deal for GWS for Ash etc. It's usually only once picks get all but confirmed it happens.
As I said, clubs often commit to players at different levels, but every individual club is different because things change. A firm commitment might come with a possible clause if a certain player dropped or there was a surprise like a medical issue or something like that. Whereas another club may stick to its guns and pick a player regardless once they've committed. Or a third type where the clubs don't guarantee anyone anything - this becomes basically every club once it drops outside the top 30.
I'm sure 18 clubs would say to Matt Rowell tongue-in-cheek "if you're there at our pick we will pick you".
With so much smokescreens going on, it's hard to filter through fact from fiction, but you can't get any closer than Caleb himself in this scenario, so if Fremantle don't pick him, then it will be a shock to him basically.

Some discussion on the RFC board as to taking a KPP v a mid at our first pick. Do you think we should take De Koning/Jones with our first and then mids/smaller types later on? The argument being there not being such a huge difference between mids at our first and second picks and that the KPP's possibly available at our first could turn out to be high end players.

I don't think Jones will be there at your first pick, and De Koning might not either. I get the feeling Tiges will go one of C Stephens/Rivers with a slight chance of Bianco if available. At your next pick you will have the likes of Hilder, Finlay, maybe Comben, Sharman Jamieson etc. who I expect you'll take a tall with one of your picks then.

I'll do the same for Pie 4 Life
Pick 31; Jeremy Sharp
Pick 33; Sam Philp
Pick 61; Jake Riccardi
Pick 64; Nick Bryan
If only it could work out like that

With the increasing rate of KPF needs, it's looking like most will be taken as reaches rather than sliders. Aka if you want Riccardi it will need to be 33. Every chance the top 6-7 are off the board before Pick 30.

I was hoping Adrian Dodoro would get creative with the picks in our hands (31, 33, 61, 64, 65, 80) and try to move up the order.
Riccardi will be gone by 61 but he fits us perfectly. Would move up in a heartbeat to select him.

7pm the official coverage starts with 7.05 I assume is the first pick (As there is a mandatory five mins)
But live trading!
Just hit the record button and watch it back later when you can't sleep. I'm sure you'll be up all night trying to work out round 2 onwards haha.

Pete any mail on where Jay Rantall thinks he's going, I've heard the Crows have shown interest especially of late so I'm hoping he's still there at #23.

I've got a brief thing on him going up today. Get the feeling he will be in that Richmond to Adelaide group from last pick of round one to those two picks the Crows have in Round 2. Thinking most likely Brisbane or Crows at this stage.

In the mix late/rookie. There's a fair few in that boat though. Very even draft.

Keidean Coleman and Noah Cumberland for Brisbane.
Ryan Gilmore, Josh Gore, Dirk Koenen for Gold Coast (given you have free access to them I figure why bother nominating them if you're not going to use your extra spots).
Liam Delahunty for GWS (assuming he's there), a chance of Matt McGrory. James Peatling a minor chance.
Sydney not sure, they have a lot they have nominated but Luke Parks and Hamish Ellem the two highest in consideration, though I also rate Sam Gaden and would give him a shot.
