Hey Brett, it wasn't until I tried this exercise myself that I recognised your amazing skills in predicting Petracca sliding to 16. Just did it myself and I can see it being very possible that one of the 5-10 ranked players could slip to our pick #16. Any thoughts?
Amazing how it worked out that way.

I have no clue to be honest. This draft will be interesting to watch unfold. You can throw a blanket over so many after the top 6/7. I hope we get a atley- like slip and then cockatoo slips to 25. If it looks like he won't last then pull the trigger at 16

Love the look of Daniel, but a few on here including Pykie have said that he really struggled physically at SANFL senior level. Is 167cm just too short? Every year there is some small fast guy that gets compared to Boomer but it's been a while since one of the tweeners has made it!

Really like Drummond too, good athlete and solid skills.
we are talking a speculative rookie spot, come on North prove there is still some romance in the game, give Caleb a go if he is still available.

Caleb Daniel (SA): mid/ fwd who smashed it in the last 3 games of the national championship, averaging 20+ disposals and 2 goals. 90+% effective. Evasive and destroyed the beep test.
What's wrong with this picture? He is a genuine midget at 167cm!!!
Yeah, but...: he was good enough to be All Australian. Oh yeah, and there's this guy called Brent Harvey...... (who's taller :eek:)
If he doesn't make it as a footballer: would look good being shot out of a cannon

If St Kilda snap him up I reckon he'll be on fire then............literally, at Mad Monday "celebrations".

I feel reassured, thanks to reading up on and studying highlights packages of the potential draftees available around our picks, that there will be plenty of players for us to select from who would have most punters here happy.

We're shirley set to land a couple of FHoFers.

Hey guys,

What sorts of players are you looking at taking at 25? Considering we've got the two picks after you it's interesting to see who you might take so I've got a better understanding of who is left for us! Cheers.

Rumours starting to come in according to those "in the know" on the D & T Board.

-Wright to slip to 10 or maybe as low as 12
- GWS to take Laverde at 4
- Pies to take Degoey or Langford at 5
- Pickett a certain top 8
- Eagles people think that Cockatoo will definitely go to them at 11

I guess someone decent will slip to us but shame about Nakia if true.

I'd be surprised if Degoey went that early. ******* West Coast...they continue to disappoint me

Looks like some midfielders are going up in the calculations, while the key positioners are drifting.

If a midfielder like Duggan or Ellis and someone like Marchbank or Goddard are available who would everyone like to take?
