How have I never heard of Nick Robertson before? was injured during the champs so didn't play but he looks like just the type of player FJ loves.

Looks like a great option at pick 50

I have no idea. Looked like a 1st round prospect at last years Champs. You must have blinked.

 

[Toadvine]

I've been rubbish this year. it's frustrating because usually at this time of year I have a better grasp on things.

oh well...

To bad you can't see after Groupie_ puts the black out hood over your head and chloroforms you before you awake in his/her/its dungeon.

Chloroform ftw

Always works a treat

I doubt he makes it that far. Both WA teams know all about him.

Very good player.

 

[Stylo]

Any love for Nick Favretto or Darcy Lang? Lang in particular looks an interesting prospect.

 

[Stylo]

Current wishlist

12 - Scharenberg>Acres>Dunstan (I've come to terms with the fact we likely won't have a chance at Salem, he'd be equal number one otherwise )
50/68 - Any combination of Wilson, Robertson, Bourke, Karpany, Holman, Hewett or Lang

 

[the push up king]

Friend of mine just told me his mates with sales bro. Was pumping him up a lot!!! Rates him highly, he thinks 12 is a steal.

It's funny reading Inside Footy mag they have him as a rookie. Lol no chance.

I don't mind Favretto. Though I don't think he's damaging enough tbh

 

[TheAnt]

I would take Dalziell plus Mellington in a heart beat..

 

[Danog]

Mellington yes, Dalziell no.

 

[hectic]

Anthony Miles has been delisted, any takers?

 

[RichoLedio]

Can't believe anyone's keen on Dalziell, he's terrible

 

[strauchy]

Dalziell is rubbish.. I watched glimpses of Mellington and shocked he was delisted! could be a VERY handy at tigerland. Cant see it happening though.
any chance we can get Freeman? If collingwood take bontempelli, and melb take salem, Collingwood would either go for freeman or someone else like a crouch or Mcarthy or anyone that slides...Hoping to god freeman slides.

 

[RichoLedio]

What sort of player is Mellington? I wanna say small forward

 

[Tigerbob]

If our club hasn't looked at brining Mellington in they aren't doing their job.

Would be a top 30 pick this year and has been developed by a good club. Couple of pre seasons and ready to go.

Anyone have any impressions of Cripps from WA ? SEEMS like a desent sized mid just not a big tank at this stage but has good contested ball numbers and skills seem good.

Won't be available at 50. I like Jansen at 50. Another big bodied midfielder, super fit who can go forward and kick a goal.

Just taking a look through this thread and other draft boards around here. Holy crap. My rankings are totally different. Guys like Crouch, Taylor are Hartung are ranked so highly.

I'm releasing my top 50 power rankings over the next two weeks. Might get ugly.....

Some of the guys in even in my top 20 haven't even rated a mention. Starting to get worried.

Should be interesting.

This draft is horrendous so there'll be varying opinions. I was speaking to one recruiter today, and I quote, "I am finding a lot of kids I wouldn't mind rookie listing. Pity the rookie draft doesn't start at pick 23."

Seems to be a general consensus among other recruiters I've spoken to.

Where's this Matt Crouch top 20 talk coming from? The Herald Sun? I mean there are 18 clubs and someone might like him but don't be surprised if he doesn't even get drafted. I've only included him in my draft (pick 50) because I want to write about him.

Very interesting!

 

[Stylo]

Very interesting!

I'd be very interested to see your rankings. Where do have Salem, Acres and Scharenberg sitting?

Salem 10, Acres 6, Scharenberg 5 (WTF is with him sliding, no chance).

howbout Lennon?

13.

Kicking is his issue. Everything else I like. He's not too bad.
