Laverde at 17 is interesting.

Be interesting to see it go a bit further than pick 21.

Nice draft for Essendon if that came true.

 

[george2]

Goddard at 21 is a massive slide

 

[Chaisa]

Goddard at 21 is a massive slide

As is Laverde at 17.

This night's gonna be fun.

 

[RUNVS]

Seems the pendulum has shifted in the past 48 hours from Petracca to McCartin.

 

[MightyDons4]

If we got Laverde and Goddard...

 

[coryne]

She went from Goddard being a lock to the GWS at 6/7 to sliding to 21 in the space of a couple of hours. ...... Think Emma is good when being given the answers but when the recruiters are keeping their cards to their chest she flip flops like a fish out of water. .... will be interesting to see if she gets much right.

 

[Silvagnis]

What's wrong with Weller if he makes it to 19?

The second media "expert" to have Carlton landing Weller. Wary of sliders, but it could be a nice return in combination with pick 28.

Don't see Weller getting past us unless one of Laverde, Ahern or Cockatoo is available. Would you still take Borekhurst at 28 if Menadue/Cavka was there as well?

Look at her last years one
She got the first 13 picks correct. Says enough that this is quite accurate (despite it being a harder one to predict this year)

Absolutely not. If he is best available then fine but of other more highly rated are there then it is a no brainer. If Rogers wanted him that badly then he should have pushed us to trade back into the 3rd Rd or pushed for Jones to walk to the PSD

The Draft order was fairly well set a couple of days out last year esp the top 10. She is all over the place after about #13 last year and has been all over the place today (watch her video from lunch time today and compare it to the phantom draft)

Yet Kavanagh was considered to be a young gun at 17 and a slider who made it to 19. Ditto Lucas who is bashed, yet wasn't tipped to make to it to 12. If Talia was gone by 12, then Sugar wouldn't have made it past 13. Better pick than Lamb, but they'll still have their drawbacks.

Know little about Boekhorst and Cavka who don't carry the reputation of other first round picks.

Absolutely not. If he is best available then fine but of other more highly rated are there then it is a no brainer. If Rogers wanted him that badly then he should have pushed us to trade back into the 3rd Rd or pushed for Jones to walk to the PSD

Hope we get Maynard/DVR/EVW and Boekhorst in order for the meltdowns. If we take Boekhorst, then we've done our homework more than the amateurs who shuffle names in their phantoms.

I think this is one of the most open Top 10s in recent history (outside of the top 5).

Picks 9 and 10 are the wrong way round, but yeah other than that it's accurate. Last year's earlier picks were pretty easy to predict, though.

I don't doubt EQ's connections and bios of the players, but I don't find her phantom drafts all that reliable.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The Gold Coast pick is just weird, that aside I would expect that to be ver close. If Laverde doesn't go at 5, expect him to slide. A lot of sides want KPP's or 'sure things'.

 

[TradeDraft]

Sounded not 100% sure about the Collingwood Pick at 5

 

[aussierulesrules]

Bloody hell, if we get Goddard at 21 I reckon I'll whoohoo so loud you'll all hear it from wherever you are!

 

[Play by Numbers]

Have Essendon pulled the same stunt that they did with Heppel?

Spread rumors of an injury so other clubs pass him over

 

[Smoocher]

Seems its gonna be the most open top 20.

To be fair a lot of teams above them want KPP's or genuine speed (West Coast). I'm amazed that Richmond will take Ellis over him though, but Richmond seem to love Corey Ellis.

Duggan doesn't represent genuine speed.

In fact Laverde is quick

 

[TN25]

I'd be very happy if Emma's predictions were correct. McCartin and Goddard will be a great forward duo. If Weller was available at pick 22 it would be amazing!

What's going on! one jurno puts laverde down a few places then bang they all do. I don't get how that can when he hasn't even played any footy! He must have stank up the interviews pretty bad.

Last week he was considered a top 4 talent in the draft now his out of the top 15!

I have picked that up as well. The journos mostly seem to follow each other with their phantom drafts
