We're past the pick 55 mark so that helps our points situation.

OK, from pick #56 onwards, Logan Smith won't cost us any points to match a bid.
We clearly took a punt that any bid would be late ... presumably had some back-up trade ready to go.

Re: 2k TT. Is it really that important for AFL? Tommo used to kill these things but was slow as a wet week. Burst speed is far more important. Most players wouldn't run 2ks in a game before going to the bench for a rest.

Well, if you want your midfielder to be able to run up and down the ground and then impact a contest, they need reasonable endurance. Even the forwards are chasing back and then running into I50, so they need reasonable endurance too.
Presuming Hannaford's is not as terrible as 7 1/2 minutes indicates, he could play fewer minutes in bursts. Peatling only averaged something like 57% game time IIRC.

But I think it's rare a player would need to run continuously in a game for 3-4 minutes without a stoppage, score, throw in or something that holds play up. Pace for repeated shorter efforts is a better asset than endurance pace.

I think the 2km is more a defacto measure of how much of a quarter someone can run out. You are right that it's more a case of repeated sprints in-game.

Basically all the best pure mids were gone by our selection, so we can't blame recruiters for that.Ough as developing mid (he isnt 18 yet)has upside and rated pretty highly in a quality draft .

So Ough listed at 1.94,Green 1.91 and Callaghan 1.92.Big boys to feed it out to our mosquito fleet.

Logan Smith might slide all the way to our next pick at this rate.

Also, Ough has a December birthday, so he's very young in comparison to most of this draft class. There's significant potential upside to him.

Smith is finally a Giant. One of only 4 specialist Rucks picked up.

And the end came quickly.
That leaves us with 1 live rookie selection - if we want; otherwise we might leave it open until the PSSP.
Plus Fahey, Keeffe & Wehr to re-select.

If this is correct we must be moving at least one of our current Cat B guys to being a Cat A rookie

If our Cat B list is full, can't we just automatically add him to the Cat A rookie list?
As far as I'm aware NSW/ACT prelisted rookie guys are only taken as Cat B rookies. But maybe I'm wrong.

I guess we'll see tomorrow.
It just strikes me as pointless to move someone from B to A just to put someone else onto the B list.

Brisbane has done both in the past - moved players from Cat B to Cat A (although that was back when it made a difference) and prelisted into Cat A because Cat B was full. Nothing ever seems to be announced on the breakdown of B vs A.

I've seen some club lists (numbers not names) on other boards quoting footywire or zerohanger sources that GWS is showing 1 Cat B and 2 Cat A (no names). That indicates that we've already moved someone from B to A. I presume that Madden would be the most likely (rather than Wardius).
