Would be pants around the ankles, laps of the table (is that the quote) stuff if he was still floating around at #2.

Watched a few videos today... I like any of Wright, Lever and Langford. Goddard looked good too (probably better than Lever IMO) but I assume he will be gone by our pick.
Don't think much of the look of Marchbank, although this is based on about 3 minutes of footage so I would trust our recruiters over my opinion.

What if GWS go Laverde at #4?You're not quite right.
Collingwood then have to decide on Pickett or Langford.
GWS are in reasonable shape either way.
Unless GWS go Goddard at #4?
Aaaaagh it's the bloody GWS picks that are going to shape this draft.
Think they will go Pickett, Goddard, Wright. Perfect mix.

Hope GWS don't take wright because it sounds like the cats will take lever if wright is off the table.

Yep that's where I was going. Too many KPDs off the table. Langford is starting to fit as the option.
Geelong wouldn't do that to us would they?

If the Crows get a combination of Lever/Wright/Cockatoo/Langford at pick 14.
Menadue/Maynard/Rainbow/MacDonald/Gartlett/Ramsey or either McKenzie at pick 35/43.
Foster/Howe/Hamilton at pick 59.
I'll be a very happy supporter.

Geelong pick is also draft-defining for us. If both Wright and Lever are there at 10, you'd think they'd go one of them which would leave the other to us.
How ironic that the pick we handed to them, ends up being so decisive to us!! Although...we could've just kept it!

Having another look at the players invited for the top ten there was already more than ten. Before Durdin and Langford got the late invatations so that makes me think Langford is going to Collingwood and i'm not sure about Durdin.

I think its a bit rough having people say "if we draft <player x> I will be disappointed" with it being mostly based on a very rough 2-3 minute highlights package and a handful of mixed comments by draft experts. I am still excited about who we are going to draft, but the gap between trade week and draft day is way too long and has created WAY too much speculation. The AFL has to have a good hard look at itself cause its not right. If we are all thinking who is going where and getting nervous imagine how the players waiting to get drafted feel. Should be like a bandaid with a quick rip and its all over.
Like I have previously said, I believe our recruiters have done a pretty awesome job previously and will back them to make the right decision with our picks. Look at what they achieved last year with Crouch MKII and (Cant say no to) CC. If they think the guy we want will be available at 14 then who am I to judge as someone looking on? Yes we have needs and from the sounds of things we will still be in a good position at 14 regardless of what way the picks do ACTUALLY go before us. Getting us 35 in a deep draft is obviously a sign that our recruiters feel that we will have a good option available then too and it was worth an exchange of picks.
I look forward to sitting back with a beer and seeing how it all turns out.
Go the Crows.

Goddard and Lever are both key defenders, which is good for us as it is extremely unlikely that any club would use two of their 3 top 7 selections on defenders. After taking Pickett at 4, it's a safe bet that GWS will take Goddard and either Wright or a mid with 6 and 7. Hopefully they take Ahern or something. I'd love either Wright or Lever to drop to us. Lever is my first preference.
Why not ? You want to pick a kid that can hit a target with the footy daniel is your man.
How do u know who gets invites?

An article from Emma Quayle on the the age website.
Gws will take Pickett.
Pies are the unknown.. Hopefully take Langford as this will be good for crows
Gws then need to select another mid hopefully ahern and goddard.
Gc seem to have locked in duggan
Then cats have choice of Wright, Lever, Weller, De goey or Durdin.
If it all pans out like this it will be gold for afc as wel get 1 of them.
Yep, and I'm saying he won't be there!

Key comments from Hamish Ogilvie...
- ADELAIDE recruiter Hamish Ogilvie has confirmed the club has eyes on VFL ruckman Sam Tagliabue – but says he’s just one of a stack of state league talls on the radar.
- Ogilvie told AFL.com.au that acquiring tall talent remained a focus, but insisted the club wouldn't be blinded by short-term thinking at Thursday's NAB AFL Draft.
- “(Gold Coast recruiting guru) Scott Clayton said 'if you know you need a tall and you go too hard on needs, you end up missing a Joel Selwood'.
- Ogilvie said it was almost impossibly tough to separate players in the pick No. 8-20 range, which led to the club downgrading its first pick from No.10 to No. 14 in order to upgrade its late picks.
- Ogilvie was adamant serious value could also be found with the club's three remaining selections.
