From the article:-

CONFIRMED NAB AFL DRAFT SELECTIONS
Pick 1: St Kilda
Pick 2: Melbourne
Pick 3: Greater Western Sydney
Pick 4: Brisbane Lions
Pick 5: Western Bulldogs
Pick 6: Carlton
Pick 7: Gold Coast
Pick 8: Collingwood
Pick 9: Adelaide
Pick 10: West Coast

Melbourne has pick two but could also gain pick three as compensation should free agent James Frawley leave the club.

What are Angus Brayshaw's draft stocks currently like? Could he be someone we look at with pick 6-7?

Very much so. He along with Durdin could slide a little, and guys like Laverde, Ahern and even Lever could find themselves inside the top 5.
It really is a very even draft this year.

I hear a lot that this years draft is even, but what is the quality like ??? Is the top 5 stronger or weaker than in previous drafts ??? Are there lots of B-class players or are they all elite ???

 

[teknodeejay]

If Angus Brayshaw is available at 6, bite and bite hard. Will be a star.

Frawley worth Pick 3? F--- off.

IMO, there will be a hell of alot of very solid AFL footballers in this years draft. Aside from McCartin, Wright and Petracca who I think will be elite, you could almost say the next 15-20 names called out could be very very solid.

 

[BluStreak]

HBF what is your opinion on where Danny Jones is at?
He seems like a good option as a 3rd Tall Defender.

[Mr_Plow]

Decided to look into our recent middle round picks.

I try to forget our inability to land these mid-range picks, what a nightmare.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Thanks for reminding me

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Is pick #6 still a curse??????

 

[etsal1]

Is pick #6 still a curse??????

YAZZZZZZ says no.

 

[HARKER]

YAZZZZZZ says no.

..............Scharenberg says yes.

Macrae and Wingard would have well and truly taken care of things though.

 

[etsal1]

..............Scharenberg says yes.

To be fair, Collingwood knew of his feet/ankle issues pre-draft so they only have themselves to blame.

Wasn't Wingard pick 6 too? Or was that pick 5?

 

[Omega Blue]

wasn't there a rumour that wingard wanted to play footy for only a couple of years then try his hand at basketball, if that is the case is he considered a draft failure?

 

[1981]

I'm starting to think this is a good year to get lots of mid range picks

If it is a even draft

Someone said it's a draft where clubs rate the same player very differently and so a club could get a hard on with who they get at pick 40

Maybe a good idea then to lose a
Lot of Warnock, Robbo, Jeff, Lucas, Levi etc and get a big haul in the 25-45 range ??

Could be a way to really turn over the list in one year, refresh the list, change the culture

I say this having not read many expert views on the draft other than the one above who said it is a even draft which to me means having lots of picks isn't necessarily a bad thing

 

[Sin City]

Correct.

I actually shuddered reading that....

Scharenberg may still come good. Remember the issues Cotchin had in his first 2 or 3 seasons? Everyone called Kreuzer the undisputed winner of that draft. How times have changed since.

 

[Quazza]

Yer no way would I be labeling Scharenberg a bust just yet. Has a ton of talent

 

[etsal1]

I'm not labelling him a bust by the way. Can't be a bust if Oues knew of issues before they drafted him.
