Competitions 2016 Draft predictions

[daddy_4_eyes]

As it looks like we'll never reach a consensus in the drafts thread on who to select and will have to put our faith in the actual WCE recruiters, I figured it'd be good to get our predictions on paper.

Mods have promised that whoever gets all picks right will get lifetime platinum BF membership. Also 12 months bragging rights as the official forum draft guru.

We have picks 12, 34, 54, 89, 94.

My predictions will come later...once I've read a couple phantom drafts and had a think about which one to plagiarize.

I've read 3 phantom drafts and used ctrl+F a lot in my research. But in my expert opinion:

12: Berry - A kid who has fallen in most people's rankings, he showed a lot prior to an injury interrupted 2016. Sounds like the typical kind of player the eagles like to nab when not at the pointy end of the draft.
34: Hayward - With so much depth in midfielders, Hayward will slip much lower than a lot of people's phantom drafts are predicting. A lead up medium forward is a big punt, but at this pick you need to either take a gamble or draft vanilla.
54: Fisher - Everything I've read about him suggests he has serious talent, but in an age of 190cm+ midfielders he just doesn't fit the mold of what clubs are looking to add to their midfield stocks. And while Caleb Daniel looks to have bucked the trend, my prediction is that Fisher falls and we are more likely to jump on a WA talent this late than a non-WA punt.
89: Waterman - Because I don't know how the F/S bidding system works and choose to believe that we can use pick 89 to match anything post pick 54.

I would be pretty happy with that mix.
Doubly happy as I don't read the name Petrie anywhere in that list.

You don't think that we might redraft the other Waterman as a rookie ?

He'll need a full season at WAFL level before he's redrafted I think, otherwise we would have just kept him on the rookie list.

Surely not even our list management team could be dumb enough to draft 3 ruckmen?

Not so much a prediction, more of a preference

ND:
SPP
Bolton
Fisher
Waterman

RD:
Any of Banfield, Zurhaar, Hura, J.Bolton, Liam Ryan.

Would be happy with any of the following: Brodie, Logue, Clarke, Berry, C.Cox, Rotham, LeBois, Hayward, Cameron, Goddard.


*On Fisher, I would like him at our 3rd however I fear because of his height the club will try turning him into a small forward which we haven't had luck with in the past. He also may be snapped up before then and my knowledge of potential draftees from the 35- late range is basically non existent. Based my rookie picks on what I've read and watched on YouTube.

So you would be happy with pretty much half the available players in the draft? At least you should have a smile on your face on Friday night..
