No, not really. The story is who we pick up with our first round pick. We haven't had the opportunity pick an "A Grader" for some time.
We've gotten good value in the latter rounds with our current recruiting team.

Boyd will take 3 years
Patton will be fully developed Cameron fully developed if buddy ends up at Gws players will become available due to salary cap.
If the stories about the money the Giants are tempting Franklin with are anywhere near being correct then half the Giants list might be up for grabs
due to salary cap issues...
Nup the money Isreal Folou received was outside the cap for marketing purposes. Only a percentage of his wage will come out of the salary cap.
Don't worry the AFL confirmed 2 other players have been paid that way to get them into a developing market both stolen from us--Lockett and Hall. Doesn't suck balls that we pay for Sydney to exist then they use our money to steal our player who aren't even under the same salary cap constraints. I think they must have this deal still going at the Swans with some current players.

i'd take him with our first pick.. just for that last name.
"The Bishop went wild, as Saints' Honeychurch goal'd"
Would have been even better if we still had Goddard. "Goddard and Honeychurch combine"

a few i like the look of from the WA under 18s are ...
obviously Sheed
Clem Smith
Tom Barrass
Aliir Aliir
and Jon Marsh
Everyone knows how good Sheed is so no point going on about that
Clem Smith reminds me of Chris Yarren the way he streams out of defence but his foot skils are his big wrap .. I first spotted him at a his local club Thornlie playing 16's after the game where he destroyed his opponent he was mucking around kicking a footy 40m into a rubbish bin with his younger brother or cousin on the left on the right while being tackled ... i saw he had made the cut to the WA under 18s this year and i see he has been tearing it up ... only thing is i think he is too young to be drafted this year
Tom Barrass is a defender from Claremont colts is a key back player and is still growing is hard at it he is one of the old fashioned honest beat your opponent one on one style player can take a good mark and is pretty good kick .. from what i hear the kid is also a genius has a really high IQ and is also considered to be a strong leader
Aliir Aliir is pretty raw and will take some time but he is a super athelete runs as fast as a gazelle and has real courage - he has a great back story coming from Kenya as a refugee he plays well down back and is really good at spoiling the ball with his good leap
Jon Marsh is a goal machine marks just about everything that comes his way and slots them from everywhere .. against Vic Metro he kicked 3 goals against NT he kicked 4 and got one against Tassie ... be interesting to see how he go's against Vic Country tomorrow

"The Bishop showed gringo what he thought of him for pointing out the obvious."
Dom Sheed broke his collarbone against Vic Country yesterday late in the 4th quarter after racking up 29 possessions and kicking 4 goals - WA won with a kick after the final siren

Cheers for this, I wish those two games were on a Saturday I probably would've gone - would actually prefer to watch that on TV over VFL and Foxtel cup too...
Anyway, just based on a hunch, despite his obvious class, Aish might slide a bit due to being underdone in the Champs.
Strength through Loyalty
Go those mighty Sainters!!

Aish doesnt appear to living up to the lofty standards some pundits ascribe him to.
He may well get his wish and end up at Port or Adelaide if his low possession form continues
Aish is the youngest person ever to play in a sanfl premiership. He has been playing sanfl seniors since 16yo.
He will be a star.
Personally I think we will go Scharenberg at pick 3, after GWS go Boyd and Melb go Aish.
A utility isn't quite what we need, but he is the best available at pick #3. having said that he could well end up like a Watson/Goddard/Kennedy who were all touted as key position players, but because they are so talented have been able to turn themselves into A Grade midfielders. Even a Ryan / Nat Fyfe type would be handy!
IMO Scharenberg will do his apprenticeship on a HB or HF flank and will then move into the midfield when ready.

Apparently there's a kid by the name of Sam Crocker who is an elite kick
Would also fix our banner problem.
