There are three genuine KPP (and all great full forwards) superstars in this draft - Lukosios and the King brothers. We MUST trade up the draft order with our first pick to get one. Any of those three would allow Tabs to play true CHF and give Cam Mac the freedom to be third tall, and take pressure of Apeness et al as ruck/forwards. But, do I really need to explain why Fremantle needs a star key forward?
So who have we got worth trading our first pick (likely 4-10) to Brisbane, Carlton to move us up?
I’d love it to be Sheridan, but more likely is someone like nyhuis. This trade won’t come cheap.
Secondly, we need to trade some of the older blokes for cheap, low, “nothing picks” so that we can use the points for our acedemy players.
There’s every chance our academy kid (I forget his name ) will pop up around the second round and if we have the points, then we get a second round player without a second round pick.
Then we take a punt on one more player late in the draft, and hope to draft well in the rookie draft. Upgrading some of our current rookies (like banfield) will help top up the list from some of the older players traded out for acedemy points.
If this isn’t EXACTLY what Freo are planning then they deserve every criticism.
