r they gonna be good or duds?
I have the feeling that Andy Walker won't be as great as people think he will be. Perhaps a good player.

I think Bill Morrison will have a great career. Along obviously with COONEY
Farren Ray will flop I feel.
Bradley a monty for the Rising Star..put your money on him right now.

Bradley to struggle.
Dunn and Tenace to become stars.
Cooney, but based on my assessments of the WA players this year, don't read into too much of what I have said as I clearly don't watch the same games as the RM's
Spaanderman will be the biggest flop

I certainly hope not. But I have full faith in Scott Clayton none of his early picks have been bad from memory.

Sylvia will dominate the competition for the next 15 years.
Bill Morrison will be a star at AFL level.
I have a feeling that Chaplin and Bradley will flop.

The Bummers tradition of first round duds will continue with Kepler "Bandy" Bradley and Stanton
They will be the biggest losers of all the teams when the results are in and Tenace is starring for the Cats and Chaplin whom they both could of taken
why does every one think stanton won't do too well?

He's an athlete not a footballer
Sound familiar?
Mr Croad
Mr Bolton
Actually stanton is only 180cms and a wingman so comparing him to bolton and croad is silly.
Stanton has good skills on both sides of his body. Im not sure he gets enough of the footy to hurt teams to be honest

Sylvia will be a star.
Chaplin won't amount to much.
It's amazing how these professional recruiters who are skilled at spotting junior talent and watch hours and hours of junior games each year, and who are putting their careers on the line, have picked all these flops. They should really just save the bother, log onto BF and rely on the opinions of people who have (in most cases) never even seen these kids play.

There's a difference between having an opinion based on something and just baseless speculation.

You would be surprised how many people on here know there ****. There are plenty of guys who watch a lot of junior footy. Just because they havent played at the highest level does not make there opinions any less right or wrong as the recruiting guys.
Essendons Adrian Dodoro did not even play VFL/AFL football..where is his credentials

not a footballer, hasnt every1 been saying he is one of the most skilled players in the draft this year? he also made the ais/afl thing last year, and his club won the developement team of the yaer cos of him.
people usually use the term, athlete not footballer for people who can sprint a mile as fast as lightning, and jump and touch the sky, yet fall with skills and game ethic. by the looks of stanton, he seems to be more than just an athlete, slyolddog.
Looks like most people are just mentioning the players their club drafted. Good to see we're all remaining positive. :D

No, I've never been more serious in my entire life!
Sylvia and Watts will be stars for years. I like the look of Ray as well.

i'll be very disappointed if Brock Mclean doesnt go as well as Kane Tenace.
But Sylvia will be a star and so will Billy Morrison

cooney to be very good
walker to be alright
sylvia to be a star
ray to be very good
mclean to be a flop
bradley to be a mega flop
tennace to be very good
clarke to be soft but pretty good
trotter to be very good
dunn to be very good
morrisson to be inconsistent but brilliant when on fire
chaplin to be a mega flop
watts to be alright
waters to be very good
nash to do well, stanton to flop
Bradley = DUD (impossible to match up on................please)
Clarke = DUD (understatement, but I thought I'd stick to the adjectives delegated to the topic)
Like alot of people, I've not seen most of them play any substantial amount of football, nowhere near enough to make an educated guess as to how good a player they might be.
