Twoomey suggesting Johnson very much in the sights at the Hawks. I would go Johnson over Ward.

No, but I would hope it's a deliberate ploy to fool Freo into taking Amiss or Erasmus.
My short priced Freo duo. The take Amiss first then let us pass on Eramus and snatch him or maybe Johnson first, not ruling that out. But I think it's a lock they go all WA with those picks. Makes sense needs-wise and risk wise.
Club recently held coterie zoom call re the draft.
One thing I can say is that we have now locked in our top 14 players and will pick the best available player regardless of position.
Our next picks may be more strategic depending on who we pick with our first

Personally, I’d trade all 20’s picks for another inside the top 10-12. With three picks inside the top 15 we’d be a near certainty to walk away with at least two “generational” type talents.

Fine for our second selection but I'm hesitant to use pick 9, I'm still not sold on Erasmus being a full time mid & Amiss isn't exactly a power forward.
Agree with you on Erasmus and why we won't pick him with our 1st. We will pick a player that we are certain of playing 150+ games. That's Hobbs, Ward or Gibcus IMO.
Erasmus could well be the best, but this is our 1st pick in the top 10 in the last 10 years, no way we take someone that is as risky as Erasmus is. He's a high risk, high reward pick IMO.
He didn't nominate for the draft. Suggests he has a guarantee somewhere.
I know a few on here don't rate Matt Rendell but the below article is still an interesting look at a recruiters view on a few players from their under 16 year. He had the Vic pool substantially ahead of the rest. Recruiters won't forget and will back their early judgment, their will be bargains to be had for sure.

A recruiter’s notes on the AFL draft crop of 2021
“Not a big head.” “Never seen a player get from contest to contest with such ease.” “Good luck tackling him.” Nick Daicos was one of the under-16s assessed by former Collingwood recruiter Matt Rendell back in 2019. Here’s what he had to say.
???, we have plenty of main list spots, no rookies spots though, unless that is what you meant
