McCarthy, Ballas, Langdon, Grey, can't seem to get theirs heads around the shape of the Sherrin. Total fumbletown. Do they train with footballs in preseason?! yuck
I've just watched some pre-draft interviews with Cerra. He really does seem un-excitable at times, compared to interviews with Brayshaw, Rayner, Stephenson etc who seem quite bubbly. Perhaps he's just like that, even if he was taken by Carlton or North, he has a pokerface type attitude. He can...
Such a worry when Crowden was called out and there was bugger all highlight videos on afl.com about him. Then Freo finally shared a highlights package and you couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Low centre of gravity, tree trunk legs, can't be tackled! Love it!

Dad: Happy birthday son, I know you've been wanting a car for a while, so here it is (hands over some BMW keys)
Cerra: But father! All my friends are getting Mercedes-Benz. I shant drive this car, I just shant!

Lowlights of the draft:
Cerra's attitude
One too many ruckman (Jones)
Eagles taking Hamish Brayshaw ahead of us
Not taking Krueger (fingers crossed for rookie draft!)

Highlights of draft night:
Brayshaws enthusiasm
Landing a key forward with Dixon
Mitch Crowden coming outta nowhere, what a bull!
Sean Darcy getting a new sparring partner in Meek
Eagles not improving their midfield, bottom 4 next year, 1st round draft pick traded to Gold Coast. Haha!
On...
I didn't think i'd be as stoked to get Brayshaw as I am right now. I think he's really won over some Freo fans with his enthusiasm!
Cerra will make our forwards look good, he's a great kick and smart decision maker. I'm worried about his commitment to the club, hopefully the boys get around him...
The rest of the comp is laughing at us. We've gone from top dogs in the trade period (weller for 2) to the club that overlooked LDU and Stephenson for a double scoop of vanilla ice-cream
Cash was a big factor, but don't think player's will be happy playing wherever a coach wants them to play. Look at Howe and Carlisle, moved clubs because they wanted to play specific roles.
Totally, I worry that if we add both Brayshaw and Cerra we're running a risk of one of them deciding in 2 years time that they're not getting enough minutes in the midfield, and then they'll request a trade.... I think the lack of midfield time really p!ssed Lachie Weller off and contributed to...
Just noticed that interview! Lloyd doesn't give much away!
Says LDU and Cerra are 'in the mix' for pick 2, when asked about Naughton and Allen says 'they're around the mark'
The fact that we've been 'pretty settled' on who we're taking makes me think this Cerra talk is just media hype.
For what...
I think there's some genuine legal precedents with this in other codes internationally. We're seeing the landscape change with concussion in sports, I think the legal question is based around pre-existing medical conditions if something bad happens (we're not talking a damaged knee, we're...
Stephenson is in my top 3 this year. Part of me wonders if he went into an interview with Brisbane and said 'I want to play here, I want to play for Brisbane' - would they consider using pick 1 on him. He does support the Lions, has amazing talent and seemingly has passed every medical query...
Is everyone sticking to this thread for live melts during the draft? I cancelled my fox footy subscription but might get it added back on for one night only! I've advised my girlfriend to take the dog out on a long walk whilst the draft is on, I don't want either of them to see a grown man cry.
Only another 10 hours until we get put out of our misery! It's been a bloody long and stressful couple of weeks. I think I prefer the good old days when the Dockers are a top 4 team and we don't need to worry about nailing a top 10 draft pick! Hopefully this is the last year of that!!!
Another...
LDU has been ranked as top 2 in every experts mock draft I've seen over the last 2 months. For Freo to think we're now a chance to get him at pick 5 is bloody ballsy. Sounds like something only Lloyd would feel comfortable attempting. Apparently he did require an extra seat on the flight over to...
I'm not sure if I'm the only one here, but I did lodge about 7 different 'top 10' results via the Draft Machine site on afl.com.au
Really needed that $10k!!!
And after all my submissions, this rubbish 'Cerra at 2' bombshell gets dropped. Every one of my submissions had LDU at 2

Fox footy Riley Beverage has updated his phantom in the last 20 minutes. Now has Cerra at 2. Yuck!

Brad Lloyd's brother (some spud called Matthew) coaches LDU, Brayshaw and others at Haileybury(?). Surely he'd pass the word onto Brad if LDU has what it takes to be elite in AFL. He did say that LDUs 38 disposal game was the best u18 performance he's ever seen
