Just read the thread on Weitering on the Drafts board, after not really paying much attention all this time.

Things just got messy in camp T2B_
good to read some unbiased opposition supporter views on the BigW.

Sounds like he is also a versatile type that can run around and do stuff - instead of just punching the ball over the boundary line...

There is talk that Melbourne are looking at Howe and there pick 6 for GCS pick 3.
So it looks like GCS think the player they want will still be there @ pick 6.
Or dont really rate Francis who is the obvious pick 3,

Means little but we know that the Academy guys are very highly rated.
4 in the top ten would be a very unusual outcome given the relative size of these Academies compared to what the major football states have to offer.
Seems bizarre, and i suspect that the development within these academies is so strong that it gives them an unfair advantage against the TAC kids. Although i rrckon that this advantage will be negated once all the kids are inside an AFL system.

........and then you've got Keays hovering somewhere not too far away.

Even as it is, there are 3 Academy picks in the top 6...........50% from NSW & QLD academies................we need more academies... :)
It is important to remember that the GWS academy is BS, they do sweat FA and just have a lucky zone that already was a football dominated region.

No way Francis will slide to pick 10.
Has been likened to Brendan Goddard.
Think he is in the 2-6 range

I know he's been injured but is there any footage out there of Weideman? Don't think I've seen any since the NB highlights of our game against the academy kids, where he gave Watson a bath.
