[hilly]

I think pick 68 is Richmond's.

Good luck Pykie, don't draft Rohan at 5, Fitzpatrick or Christensen.

 

[WALL-e]

Been looking forward to this.

 

[TradeDraft]

Been looking forward to this.

Me Too - It is Interesting to Follow and Read

 

[lionshine]

Very excited to see peoples thoughts!

 

[GoldenboyHird_5]

Just a few short notes

- Shocked if Melksham goes 2nd round.
- Shocked if Lucas gets past #11
- Shocked if Christensen goes 2nd round.
- Expecting Butcher to go top 10.

oh, and if Jetta goes to Essendon then I will kill someone.

 

[saxymaxy]

swannies, please try and get 3 of:

Jetta
Lucas
Colyer
T Taylor
Bartlett
Butcher
Duncan

been looking forward to this...

 

[Cruiser23]

Damn Blues, leave me just 2 picks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well said!

 

[BLUE BLEEDING]

Damn Blues, leave me just 2 picks.

What happened to pick 59? Just read that we might use a late pick in the draft on a delisted player and I don't think they're talking about pick 43. Also, why is this draft finishing at pick 68?

 

[Silvagnis]

You should post the top ten picks in reverse order to make it more interesting.

 

[cmndstab]

Our very survival depends upon you, Thunderstruck!

Awaiting this with glee (Though it feels somewhat emptier without Vic Crow this year )

 

[Stylus]

What happened to pick 59? Just read that we might use a late pick in the draft on a delisted player and I don't think they're talking about pick 43. Also, why is this draft finishing at pick 68?

My guess is that this is the number of empty places on club lists.

 

[Salaryman]

You should post the top ten picks in reverse order to make it more interesting.

 

[Vader]

My guess is that this is the number of empty places on club lists.

That would be exactly the reason.

 

[cmndstab]

You should post the top ten picks in reverse order to make it more interesting.

Hahahahahaha

 

[bulldogsman]

Recruiter Simon Dalrymple states in this interview below that the bulldogs will use 4 picks in draft (pick 15, 31, 63 and 79). Eagleton is eligible to be veteran listed.

Will you settle for 2 of?

 

[Bombers41]

Can't wait been looking forward to this badly...hopefully it stays as tomorrow morning as I won't be home tonight.

On topic enjoy the overall read and back Foj1, wonder what the strategy will for the bombers?

Best player available Bombers41. Dont think I will steal Cunnington and Melksham as I did in the trial though. I think Essendon lack A grade players and we need to try and nab a couple!

 

[rusman]

Thinking of taking some risks are we?

I wish this thing started tonight it will distract me all tomorrow and I'm mean to study.

As long as "best available" does not contain the words "Jetta" or "Rohan" I will be happy!

 

[Nater]

As long as "best available" does not contain the words "Jetta" or "Rohan" I will be happy!

personally i'd be dissapointed if Rohan slipped to you, i think he's an outstanding talent and would love POrt to snap him up if he's still available

 

[saxymaxy]

Will you settle for 2 of?

depends who the third is
and who the two are that you get.

Ive got a feeling your talking about a certain tall forward in griffiths?
Have you had a look at T Taylor yet

 

[LemmingMaster]

Occasionally in the past they have started the day or night before, for convenience sake......just saw TheBigUnit has Melbourne (good position to be in this year ), being from WA perhaps he might kick it off with 1 and 2 to get the ball rolling early tomorrow?

While it is a good position, when picks 1 and 2 are almost given, it reduces the excitement a little.

Port Adelaide on the other hand have a heap of top selections and in positions that could go any direction.
