Phantom Draft Bishop's 2017 Draft Thread

Or you could potentially look back at to what JD was doing in his draft year? Just a wild concept.

That's an option - but who has 20/20 vision or any real knowledge of his attributes when looking way back to 2011 (being Joe's bottom age year)?

Pick 14 fair for O'Brien? Perfect fit for our needs I reckon.

Maybe a touch early - think he's likely to be a 2nd rounder.

Any idea Hedge or Bishop, when All Star line up is unveiled?

Few clubs have known for week or so - expecting announcement this week.

Who do you think North will target with 21, Bishop?

Hard to say at the moment - think some speed & class would appeal like a Matt Ling/Ryley Stoddart/Lochie O'Brien type.
 
Bishop, a little off topic but I watched Jack Lukosius play on the weekend in his debut league game In the SANFL. He touched up one of my mates in the first half.

Will he be a likely top 5 pick next year at this stage?

Clear No.1 for me.
 
Hey Bish, did you see much of Darcy Tucker in his junior years and if so, or even just based on what he's done at AFL level, how would you compare him to Lochie O'Brien?

Both have similar attributes, both talked up as good chances to go top 5 leading into their draft year, both underwhelmed, and Darcy obviously slipped to the mid/late 20's. Do you see one as being better than the other?

Any others feel free to give your views as well, eg Hedge, who presumably sees a lot of DT.

Yep - but it wouldn't surprise me to see him fall in the 20s.



20m SPRINT:
1 Jack Petruccelle – Northern – 2.820s
2 Dave Smith – Murray – 2.838
3 Josh Bateman – Dandenong – 2.864
4 Troy Brimble – Sandringham – 2.877
5 Jack Evans – Calder – 2.882
6 Ed Richards – Oakleigh – 2.890
7 Ethan Penrith – Northern – 2.891
8 Nicholas Coffield – Northern – 2.892
9 Will Leslie – Gippsland – 2.898
10 Ben Paton – Murray – 2.903

stephensons posted a 2.91 before...hes quick also:)
 
Bishop if North as rumoured pick Stephenson at 4 what is the likelihood that 1 of the big 4 (Rayner, LDU, Cera, Dow) slide to StK at pick 7/8? I'm thinking Freo & Coll are a decent chance to go tall at 6/7 (Naughton/Brander).

They're pretty similar, both had some good athletic traits mixed with nice kicks. Reckon LOB more of a Wingman long term, whereas I've always liked DT across half back. Would think LOB ends up in the 20s, so they'll be similar in a sense.

I've said for a while that I think Fremantle/Collingwood could/will trade back in the trade period. While if they don't - I'd put a lot of money on the Dockers taking Brander, I can't see Collingwood taking Naughton (or even Brander - who I think they don't have ranked that highly).

Not sure where all the Stephenson talk has come from (to North) - from the things I hear, Nick Coffield's just as big as a chance to be considered at No.4 as Stephenson is.

St Kilda might end up with whoever 'slides' / remains out of the rest, but I don't see them drafting talls & Nick Coffield is one that'll be high on their list from what I can tell.

Bishop

Cheers. If the Pies keep their pick who do you see them going for if not Naughton/Brander (I notice your current mock has them taking Brander).

Nathan Murphy or maybe Nick Coffield. We'll see. Might go for a classy ball user on the outside, opting to slide back a bit.
