Gee your a wasted talent. Your knowledge on 17yo in their draft years is outstanding. Must have clubs banging down your door to find who to draft or not.

Haven't they publicly declared interest in McGrath as a replacement for Shaw hence why they moved from 7 to 3 to 2. If they were after Ainsworth there wouldn't have been much point in the 3 to 2 trade as McCluggage and McGrath have been locks for the first 2 picks for a couple months now.
Latest whispers have us taking McGrath at 1
Not if Essendon take McGrath which most people have at the moment. Brisbane have apparently liked Ainsworth for a while but GWS also like him McLuggage doesn't really suit GWS but McLuggage suits Brisbane perfectly Brisbane getting another top 20 pick was too good for the Lions too pass up
Seems to be it's really just the supporters talking themselves into it. Not sure about any "whispers". There's talk of Robert Shaw being an influence, but I doubt Dodoro would be swayed. He'll know who he wants.
Why McGrath is easily the best player in the draftAs an Essendon "hater", i would cack myself if Dodoro read out any other name than McCluggage.
He is easily the No.1 Pick. Special talent. You can then throw a blanket over the next 7 or 8 imo.
Dodoro WILL read out Hugh McCluggage......but god i hope Shawry can talk him out of it
No he's not. I really, really rate McGrath but to say anyone in this years draft class are "easily" the best is ridiculous. I think McCluggage and McGrath have probably earned the title of consensus top two but there isn't a clear as day number 1. In my opinion McCluggage is number 1 but not by much. I'd have McGrath at 2 and Ainsworth at 3. Throw a blanket over Brodie, SPS and Taranto to round out the top 6.
Love both him and McCluggage as draft prospects and find it really hard to split them. Merely going with McCluggage due to the fact that he has had the best year imo out of all the draftees and genuine goal kicking midfielders are hard to find but McGrath's pace and agility to go along with his footballing ability and the fact that he is a superb leader make it very difficult to go past him. I would be very happy with either but I think the Lions will end up with Ainsworth who I would also be very happy with. Oozes star factor.
Perhaps Bowes but no certainty there. Our recruiters will only bid on players if they genuinely want them and think they are worth bidding on with pick 3. If we rate Bowes and Setterfield in the pick 6-10 range I highly doubt we'll bid on them with pick 3 for the sake of it just to keep the Suns and Giants honest. If Ainsworth is available I suspect we'll select him quick smart. From all reports the Lions recruiters love him and have had their eye on him since last year as a gun prospect that they want to recruit onto our list.
North interested in Bedford with pick 87
