Aahh, the irony of it all.
Shane Harvey will not end up at North Melbourne after the pre-season draft despite his best intentions. He will most likely be snapped up by Geelong if he gets through to that pick. I'm sure Essendon supporters will take great delight in Harvey not going to North...
Stop the applause please.
Amidst all the innuendo leading up to the draft and every man and his dog submitting phantom drafts, the Oggmonster delivered to you all on a platter the official Top 5 selections, in order, more than a week ago.
When shockingly-named TheClokes (is there a family...
When North Melbourne get kicked out of the league in a couple of years, which players would you take first if there was a North Melbourne draft?
I'd take Petrie. I'd be interested in other people's thoughts?
The AFL will announce next week that the man to replace Andrew Demetriou in Football Operations will be a fella from Sydney name O'Shaughnessy. He has had previous dealings with the Old Xaverians in the VAFA.
McLean will be the Mackie of this years draft. The others speak for themselves. Essendon will go for either Tenace or Bradley (who they see as a potential full back rather than ruckman) with Pick 6.
1. Cooney
2. Walker
3. Sylvia
4. Ray
5. McLean

Well done to all the guys who have submitted phantom drafts. As at 20 October, the following players who have all featured highly in phantom drafts had not submitted their nominations - Brent Hall, Fergus Watts, Rowan Bonson, Beau Waters, Llane Spaanderman, Josh Willoughby.
I cannot believe how high people have Will Gayfer being drafted. I thought at best he would be a fourth round pick. He doesn't really appear to have too much going for him. He is not tall enough to be key position at AFL level and is far too slow to hold down other positions. I would not be at...
Essendon has delisted Jordan Bannister meaning James Davies and Sam Hunt last another year. With Forster-Knight and Shane Harvey already delisted, McGrath traded to Carlton and Barnard and Alessio retiring, that leaves Essendon with 3 maybe 4 draft picks for the upcoming draft.
Word is that...
Danny Jacobs and Travis Johnstone both had meetings with Pagan at Optus Oval last week and Carlton seems sure of landing one of the pair in the pre-season draft. Johnstone in particular has been sought after by the Blues to act as a mentor to young Laurie Angwin.
From a very good source at...
