Hey Wayne-world,
Where are you getting these from, is it Cal Thwomey's Phantom being released?

I have no idea where this draft will head but I would be happy with any of this:

#14: Lever/Cockatoo/Goddard/Langford
#35: McKenzie/McDonald/Vioja Rainbow
#42: Wigg/Ramsey/Gore
#59: Daniel/Markov

Btw, is Langford related to Will?

Very good list, I'd chuck Bampton in there at #43 as well, he's an inside mid which we're solid with but so is Gore.

 

[Tex200]

I think we will take Langford before Durdin

 

[Mattrox]

How did we move up a spot?

It's pretty immaterial as we are still last pick in the 3rd round.

Did Durdin have an awesome 2013? He was so highly rated this time last year and now no one is convinced.

 

[jackster83]

What's Durdin's kicking like? Can he hit a target?

The AFL draft is nothing more than a lottery

The classic example of the shifting of power in the pivotal recruiting decision — in particular who is the first pick at a national draft — is perfectly highlighted in 2006 at Port Adelaide. Had the call on the Power’s No. 5 pick stayed in the coach’s office, Port Adelaide would have claimed Glenelg teenager James Sellar (who ultimately went to Adelaide at No. 14 and is now out of the game after finishing his AFL career at Melbourne).

The Power’s recruiting staff insisted on Victorian-born midfielder Travis Boak, the club’s current captain. It is a decision Port Adelaide will never regret.

Adelaide’s recruiting staff and football chief David Noble already has played a significant card that seemed in play on its whiteboard well before new coach Phil Walsh was formally appointed at West Lakes.

1 spot is 1 spot matters little what round it is Only 57 prior selections instead of 58.

Oh I wasn't being negative re Durdin.

Simply that both Skippos and Campbell's Chunky have indicated we will take Langford - that's usually pretty good mail.

That would be my preference ......of course would prefer Wright or Lever even more

Is Nakia Cockatoo out of the equation ?

I guess

It's a tough one if both were to be available. They will have their decision made by now. Durdin broke his hand, that would've really affected his performance and if he to fill out in the next couple of years there is a lot of potential, especially as a KPD. Having said that, Langford is underage and tearing it up, could even grow another couple of centimeters. Plus Cockatoo has been linked a little to us as well according to Thwomey...the more I think about it, we could really have 5-6 players that wouldn't shock me if we landed them at 14.

Seriously the real draft will not go this way ......no talls

 

[Glenny83]

Then they have us taking Drummond at 43...just throwing darts me thinks.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Surely we would have at least gone this way at #43

 

[Glenny83]

I heard Port supporters are choosing ours

 

[Crouch#44]

Where will duggan end up?
Still I think Weller will be good if he slides

 

[GROTTO]

With hindsight, if CC was entering the draft this year where would he land? Pick 20-30?

 

[GROTTO]

Do posters in here think that Walshy would have some inside knowledge of who the Power were thinking of selecting in this years draft? Especially given he obviously came over to us, late this year.

Why doesn't Rooch mention the fact that Port could've picked Selwood, who was universally rated as the 5th best prospect in that draft?

 

[Golumless]

Would it matter?

We wouldn't pick a player because we believe Port is

A hypothetical re-draft after 1 & 2 years would be pretty interesting.
