[Chaisa]

First Round Mock Draft added to the front page!

Going to be interesting to see how highly rated Mills is if he continues to be injured.

...This came out today....

Swans Football manager Tom Harley has dismissed suggestions the club are trying to hide academy star Callum Mills following the news he will miss this month’s National under 18 championships with a shin injury.

Francis at pick 8?

Francis at pick 8?

Phantom Draft was written pre-Championships tbf.

 

[Jack Richards]

But even in his other board one, he has him at 29.

I would be stoked if Essendon got him earlier at 5.

front page now updated with a mock draft as of today (3/8/15)

Can't really see Kade Stewart getting picked up before the likes of Greg Clark. I see him more of a rookie selection at best - what makes you rate him so high, given he has been injured and didn't show alot at state champs?

I completely respect your rankings and most of your draft order looks pretty solid, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that there is absolutely no way on the planet that the Crows will select an inside mid with their first pick in this draft. Key forward, tall utility, any player with elite footskills or a speedy outside mid are all possibilities, but we are STACKED at inside mid, even if Dangerfield leaves. The blokes you have listed from 11-14 (Collins, Ah Chee, Bonner, Weideman) or even Ryan Burton, Luke Partington or Harry McKay would all be more likely selections for the Crows than Mathieson, so another club in that 7-15 range will no doubt snap Mathieson up. I'm not doubting his clearance / ball-winning ability for one second, but we need another inside mid with average kicking skills and below average speed / agility like a hole in the head I can assure you!

As a Crows fan, I'm praying Charlie Curnow somehow falls to us. I don't like our chances of making the finals anyway so maybe we can lose to all of Richmond, West Coast and Geelong in the last 5 weeks (hardly seems likely that we'll win any of those tbh) and drop down a couple more spots to improve our chances of getting him. Looks a gun. Dare I say it, 'The Package II'? Can easily see him going top 7 though, which sadly rules us out barring a crazy trade.

Realistically, I'm hoping for Ah Chee at Pick 8-11 which is our range unless we sneak into the 8 and win a final, but I'm also partial to the idea of taking the local lad Burton. A lot of water to go under the bridge between now and draft day though - no doubt there'll be a couple of bolters who enter the mix.

Been busy with uni and haven't been able to be here regularly enough to post, but front post updated with new Mock Draft with bidding included.

 

[Gollo]

Hey, I just noticed that there is no Ryan Clarke anywhere on your mock draft. Is this a mistake or do you truly not believe he'll be picked up?

be a pure mistake, I forget a player then forget another in the same process. He's in that late 1st round - early 2nd round bracket. A team might even want to take him earlier with the athletic traits + football skills he possesses.

Going to update the order and picks soon?

Mock Draft - 30th of October​

you have blake hardwick at 42 and 52 and i cant see hisham kerbatieh being selected by sydney

 

[dwoody15]

Don't think Oliver will last to pick 24. He may get picked before Mathieson.

 

[POULTERBEAR]

well Pick 24 = Pick 19 before bidding, he may go before Mathieson you're right but Mathieson could be a steal in the mid teens and think clubs will be lining up to try and poach him.

 

[POULTERBEAR]

think i would have put Hardwick at 52 because i probably thought i forgot him. And any reason as to why not? Heeney as he gets older will push more midfield time and is Sydney's only really livewire small forward, as people like McGlynn are 50/50 forward/mids. Provides a spark because Gary Rohan is suited to the backline so could be something the Swans need.

 

[Oddhawk]

Agreed, No way the Hawks will pass on him with our 2nd. First maybe... If there's a big slider

 

[Mofra]

If the Bulldogs take three mids with our first three picks and ignore talls (especially with our recruiter being interested in Ben McKay) we'd be very very surprised

didn't realise i did that tbh with you, but yeh not surprised are Dogs are surprised in him, and could also then pick one of Hartley or Brown with their 3rd round pick

 

[POULTERBEAR]

First Post to be progressively updated with Mock Draft with included Player Profiles.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

POULTERBEAR could you please extend your draft a couple of picks to include Port's first pick?

 

[VanDemonxx]

Sydney has f*cked themselves in the as$ through COLA, buddy, tippett etc

 

[dylan93]

Surely Curnow falls now due to his stupidity.
