Interesting reading. I don't necessarily agree with about 30% of it and from a PAFC point of view I cannot see us taking a tall with our first pick.
Don't see Collingwood taking Freeman, Cutler and Impey seem a stretch to me as well.

How reliable is this guys predictions?

He speaks to clubs so he knows abit.

He speaks to clubs so he knows abit.

Thanks. Looks like he thinks the Swans are mostly interested in big bodied midfielders judging by what he said for pick 15.

Why wouldn't the Saints be looking at Apeness? I don't know there list that well but I haven't heard of any successor to Roo yet.

Apeness is more of a ruckman who can pinch hit up forward so he wouldn't be a direct replacement for Riewoldt. I think they will wait until next year when they should be able to snag a decent KPF with the likely early pick they should get.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Aish at 6 would be fantastic.
If he is available at 6 and we don't take him, I will be disappointed.

Fair enough, I know he started as a Ruck but I thought that the sentiment was that he had become more of a forward/ruck and was why he was looking like a draft bolter.

That would be massive for the Pies, though it would be hard to overlook S/Berg.

S/Berg is carrying an injury. I hope Hine wouldn't risk it at a Pick 6.... Maybe Pick 10 though.

Just look at his 2012 draft. Way off!

I think the Saints main priority this year is to bolster their ageing & slow midfield & they should be able to do it in this draft. I reckon Essendon will take Apeness with pick 26 if he is available.

Got majority of 2012 wrong. Seems there's more leaks this year though.

Exactly. Someone posted a link to it on our board.

Basically NFI.

Why stop at 30? Bring back Burgan

 

[tigerz18]

in fairness to Twomey, all you need is to choose someone in the top 10 incorrectly and the rest of the draft goes to sh*t. just like on draft night, a smoky taken high throws everyones picks around when all of a sudden players that were not expected to still be around are there and vice versa etc.

so hard to know what clubs are gonna do on the night.

 

[missionpossible]

I am very disappointed he has only done a top 30

 

[go_the_dockers]

I am very disappointed he has only done a top 30

He did mention the names clubs are interested in later, and it is really too hard to do an accurate draft past 30.

 

[missionpossible]

It never stopped Burgan or whoever use to do it, and he use to nail a lot of late picks.

[Chachi]

I reckon he'll go very close. Interesting how he changed our pick to Dumont, which is much more likely.

 

[joop]

He speaks to clubs so he knows abit.

I guess that's why he nailed 7 out of his top 30 last year, meanwhile Emma Quayle could only manage 16/17

 

[SizeMatters]

Lions win this draft... but I guess it would have been impossible to lose it to start with...

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Brisbane relying on the bulldogs picking Bontempelli to get either Aish or Scharenberg
