Should've been top 10 on talent but went to the filth at 18 or 19 from memory

Yeah there can certainly be some gems that are picked much lower. It has to do with having the right recruiters in there.
Re: End of Season - Trade Targets
First pick must be the best mid available, IMO. You look at the rise of Port Adelaide this year and its off the back of a very strong and young midfield group - Boak, Hartlett, Wingard and Ebert. Add a wily old veteran like Kane Cornes and you can see the impact the midfield has on a teams fortunes.
Let's get Aish!
Re: End of Season - Trade Targets
I really really want Jack Billings at our first pick. There are some concerns with his ability to move into the midfield but i don't think it will be an issue after 2-3 pre seasons. He is just the most naturally gifted footballer. Vision, skills, smarts, marking ability, goal sense, good speed he ticks them all.
I would be happy to part with pick 21-22 for Crameri, no worries.

There is a rumour on bigfooty that we are seriously into John Marsh - some super quick 190cm forward/mid. Most phantom drafts say this would be a huge reach at pick 4/5.

Speak to MJP, I think Marsh is one of his colts.
4 or 5 is very high from everything I've read this year though and the little I have seen.
Re: End of Season - Trade Targets
What other full forwards are we looking at besides Tom Boyd of course who if we are serious in getting him will be hard to secure.

I don't think we'll get a chance unfortunately.
Going to be a very interesting draft for us as there isn't perhaps any one standout who'll be available at our selection.

Agree. Boyd, Aish and Scharenburg are certain to be top 3. After that it gets interesting as there is no clear 4th. Kelly? Sheed? Billings?

Quick outside mid with great skills and who cracks in would be perfect
Re: End of Season - Trade Targets
Josh Kelly looks like an absolute gun.

As an outside player he is probably on par with Aish from what i hear. Only issue with him is his physicality and ability to get the contested ball. He's got a good head on his shoulders so hopefully he can add some bulk over a few preseasons and have no issue with the contested game

He ain't overly quick either.

Sounds a bit like Toumpas. Running at one pace all day as an outside midfielder makes it tough at AFL level if you don't have absolutely elite endurance. Kelly isn't high on my list.
