Just joined forum but accidentally clicked on St Kilda instead of Sydney. Anyone know how to change clobs in your profile or is it impossible?

Not sure Edwards was ever mentioned as a potential 1st or 2nd rounder.Hardly a shock the others have more exposed form. Cochran probably goes late if at all in the National Draft. Edwards was the same rated a year early and fell to the rookie draft

Wore his number 3 on my jumper as a youngster. He ran a milkbar in Middle Park for a while when he played. Went to its opening. Got a free coke. Never forgot it. He wrote me a letter as well.Welcome McGowan3 … any connection to Brian McGowan, former 2nd rover to Skilton and goal sneak?
So far down that he didn't even get drafted?Was in the discussions a year or two prior, went way down the board in his draft year

Much rather that than "licking their lips"I think every club in the AFL will be "interested for sure" in Warner
Especially if he's playing forward.Regarding Cleary being picked this week. I know it's only one game and they don't all play the exact same roles but further bad signs for Vickery, Konstanty and Magor. All second year players, none yet to debut and being leapfrogged in the pecking order by a first year player.

I just had a look at the 2022 draft. Apart from the players taken in the 1st round. A lot of the players from that draft have yet to debut or play many senior games.On track for our worst draft.
I was thinking about Dalrymple and what he brought to the Swans. In the end I feel it was Warner, Rowbottom and McInerney. All stars but our other picks feel like they were made regardless of him being there
Why have you picked out those three as Dalrymple selections over and above the other (non-academy) picks in recent seasons.On track for our worst draft.

Matt Roberts and Sheldrick I count as Dalrymple picks as well and both look good. But can go through itWhy have you picked out those three as Dalrymple selections over and above the other (non-academy) picks in recent seasons.
Geez 2019 1 out of 9...but what a player that 1 is.Matt Roberts and Sheldrick I count as Dalrymple picks as well and both look good. But can go through it
Dalrymple came in 2018, the following players have been drafted and picked up since then
2018 - Blakey, Rowbottom, McInerney, Foot, Tucker (R), Reynold (R), Wicks (R), McLean
2019 - Knoll (R), Hirst (R), Stephens, Gould, Taylor, Warner, Rowles (R), Maibaum (R), O'Connor (r)
2020 - McDonald, Campbell (A), Gulden (A), Curruthers (R), Sheather (R).
2021 - McAndrews (R), Sheldrick, Roberts, Corey Warner, Rankin,
2022 - Hall-Kahan (R), Konstanty, Vickery, Mitchell, Owen (R), Magor (R), Edwards (R)
Maybe I'm not giving Dalrymple enough credit but picks like McLean and Amartey in the rookie spot are on point to Beatsons regular rookie picks. Tall athletic guys with some talent who may or may not pay off.
Players like McInerney, Curruthers, Magor feel like the classic Dalrymple pick. Talented kids who can play a number of positions but haven't yet mastered one spot when drafted
Once you remove the academy selections, the tall rookies (who maybe I should give to Dalrymple) and Logan (because I feel that was a gimme from North) you're left with a lot of mid sized players who didn't last long at the Swans.
Those 3 for me are the wins from Dalrymple over his time here.
Roberts and Sheldrick could come through (and Roberts in particular looks like a big win) but over 5 seasons I feel there are a lot of misses there
Actually, I believe Sheldrick was in large part a Don Pyke selection - through his connections to Claremont.Matt Roberts and Sheldrick I count as Dalrymple picks as well and both look good. But can go through it

From a Bulldogs source who would know , they offered a straight swap with Ugle -Hagen for Gulden , not accepted by us.
They are very keen to off load Bailey Smith , other players have had enough of him .
I think we should enquire about Leek Aleer. I've been so impressed by him this year and he did a great job on Amartey (who also played well). GWS have Himmelberg, Buckley and Taylor as their first choice tall defenders whereas we are only playing 2 true tall defenders in Melican and McCartin.
