Why do you think that? Can you see into the future or something?

It's called a prediction. They are often made on football forums.

Clearly, I'd be happy with Logue at 7. Tarrant is a great player but he's not in the same league as Hurley, rance and Talia.

Tarrant is so much in that tier now. Guy is an absolute Gun!!!!

Still not as good as rance, Hurley and Talia. When he does it for more then one season I'll be convinced.

No, I'm not taking advice from a 40 year old.

He's a gun but those 3 are comfortably better.

Some people don't need more than 30 to 40 games to realise Tarrant is a gun. U not watching North games if u don't think he is an elite KP defender.

Lol, it's not like I said that Tarrant was a horrible player or anything... He is a great player but saying he's on on the same level as Rance Hurley and Talia is In my opinion not correct ,if you think he is then good for you.

I'll throw in Tarrant at 15 - you're right though, nothing wrong with paying up for a gun defender.

Nathan Brown pick 10, Ben Reid pick 7, although Reid was drafted as a fwd.

The jungle drums continue to beat that the non-Vic clubs will grant Florent's wishes and not draft him. Landsberger reporting today that Geelong (who have pick 24) interviewed him yesterday.

Chance for North @ 11? Or is that too high?

When we had pick 10 I was really warming to the idea of us getting him there, but now with talk that Brodie might still be there I suspect 11 might be a touch high for him.

Hurley was in that tier, can't say he is anymore...

Yep, the exception seems to be Cale Hooker, a steal at pick 54.

I think they are accurate. Unless north takes him he will slide right past the interstate clubs-i cant see the dogs taking him if marshall is on the board they need a key forward or back so he probably then goes to essendon (20) st kilda (23) or geelong (24). I cant see brisbane risking him given the retention issues they have had in the past. St kilda would be my tip but its in that range i expect him to go.

As I said on our board, I don't think it's necessarily a "go home factor", but more clubs being compassionate to his unique situation and respecting his wishes to not be drafted by a non-Vic side at this time.

Sure if he was Jaeger O'Meara good they'd still do it and even let him stay home for the first year if it came to that, but it's probably so even between about 10 and 24 that they won't lose too much sleep about overlooking him if they have him higher on their board than the next that's available.

I'd be absolutely pumped if we land him though, as I was really starting to get comfortable with the idea of us taking him at 10 if we'd kept it, after the way he finished the season.

Perhaps Twomey didn't know this he drafted him to us in he's mock draft last week

Not a rumour but I am not going to start a new thread for this but when is the draft on? I have looked on Fox Footy and I can't find it anywhere there.
