I still wouldn't lock it yet. Not this year. Very classy player though.

 

[DaVe86]

so whats their source if Fremantle have not directly said they will take Hill.


I need to know how accurate this is for my Big Footy competition draft

 

[Bay Pie]

That would mean Rich most likely to Port.

Would the Bombers take Hartlett over Hurley?

I'd be pretty surprised if they've actually got it from someone at Freo. Things aren't leaked down there since Harvey took over. It wouldn't be the first time the worst have made up stories either (having said that, they may well be right, in which case, whoever the leak is, they should be sacked on the spot).

I don't think it really matters. I think the first two picks are set and that Watts and Naitanui will go 1 and 2 in either order. Fremantle essentially have the first live pick and have chosen Hill. Now Port are on the clock

I agree, unfortunately 'the west' doesn't always have it's finger on the pulse of afl rumours.

Is Hill managed by Colin Young?

haha good question, that guys a knob sock

Gees, I hope not. Rich is though, so if he's been made aware that we're not taking him, you might be onto something pinkus.

So the rough draft looks like this so far;

Melbourne-Watts
Eagles-Nat
Freo-Hill

That leaves the likes of Hurley, Hartlell, Hurley, Yarran, Zieball, Rich, Vickery

I wonder if North at pick 9 had the choice of Sidebottom whom we have supposedly told we would draft at 9, and say a Ziebal etc slipped through would we change our mind with Sidebottom?

 

[Neville Bartos]

Please let Rich fall to pick 16!!!!

The top 6 I reckon will be Watts, Nat, Hill, Rich, Yarran and Hurley. Then your left with Hartlett, Ziebel, Vickery, Sidebottem, Trengove. If then Brissy then go Ziebel, Richmond will snap up Hartlett (very sure, rated very highly at Richmond). Then North will be able to decide between Vickery and Sidebottem. Who would you guys take?

I hope so! I'm still holding out for the SSB at pick 18!

I would hope he would not fall past us at 5.

 

[pinkus maximus]

rumour is that Rich falls to 7. I don't see it myself but you never know

It all adds to the excitement of Saturday.

 

[elsler]

Rich will not slide past port id say he is the type of player we need and would be best available with our pick

 

[HalladHawks]

Rich > Hill

There is no chance they will take a class player with leadership skills over Hill who seriously does not impress me

then again it is freo

 

[escobar75]

if choco overlooks rich given the oppertunity (which means we would have chosen hartlett).....i will yell abuse till my throat is saw...maybe not so much if they choose vickery over rich...

Our strength at the moment is out ruck/bigmen division; Hale, McIntosh, Goldstein just for ruck duties. Our main weaknesses are onballers first, followed by a strong bodied defender; fullback.

We would have to go for the best onballer available with our pick 9, then the best available KPP/backman at 27, say Lisle, Post, etc.

So what have you seen of Hill or Rich to determine that Hill is not impressive? Some youtube? Maybe one or two games? You really think that your opinion is going to be factored in by recruiting people who've been watching both players for years?

2008 Rich > Hill
2011 Could very well be Hill > Rich

Anyone who's not impressed by Hill is seriously clueless.

why? Rich v Hartlet is probably a 50/50 call. Go with the local I say

So who does every WC fan think Melbourne is going to take at pick 17?

Because every time you read about a player sliding a WC fan chimes in with "and we'll take him at 18" or "hopefully he'll come to us at 18", so obviously you all know that Melbourne will overlook Swift or Sidebottom or any other highly rated player at 17, so WC can get them at pick 18.

Fall on down to Essendon please Rich!!
