Hot Topic 2016 DRAFT

[Chism]

im hoping for a surprise and we get taranto or scrimshaw at 5.

25 will be interesting. i feel someone rated 10-15 will slip through.

with the late pick there is some real excitement machines. a lebois narkle baker or even poholke will be good gets.

going to be interesting. will there be a name that no one has thought of? I'm going in with a completely open mind.

Taranto with our first will make me very happy.

Hoping SOS has an agreement with GWS that they don't match our bid for Setterfield

 

[Azul]

Okay, dart board time. I'm sure SOS has other ideas and none of these players will be wearing navy blue but I had a stab!

5 Tim Taranto
25 Willem Drew
48 Bailey Morrish
62 Tom Williamson
65 Judah Dundon
69 Josh Williams (GC academy, not matched)

RD
5 Harry Morrison
23 Liam Baker
41 Sean Darcy

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Late Knightmare has us taking SPS, Cedric Cox, Zac Fisher, Myles Poholke, Kym LeBois, Mitch McCarthy.

I could handle that, especially Fisher falling to our 3rd pick.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Didn't realise it's on Fox.

May take an early minute from the liver abuse at AO......as frigging Smith runs himself out.

 

[Chism]

IF Taranto is on the boards as well as SPS come pick 5 who does everyone think we go with?

I doubt Taranto is but surely we do not pass on him amidst all the SPS talk and rumors.

Does anyone know if afl.com is showing the draft?

Just a live tracker i think and the live actual feed is only available for overseas viewers.

I'd still go with SPS personally, but believe the club wouldn't pass on Taranto.

Matt Rendell says this is an incredibly deep draft. Says it's the best top 20 he's ever seen and says some very good players will be taken in the 40s and 50s. This is what I have been looking for for weeks now, hearing from the horses mouth how strong this draft pool is. Bodes well for all clubs so let's hope SOS can jag talent with later picks.

Still reckon Richmond will regret folding and giving up pick #6 for Prestia in years to come, I mean Prestia is handy, but by no means is he an A Grade talent worth a top top 10 pick on current/exposed form.

 

[Soapy V]

any chance Venables can slip to 25? Here's hoping

 

[GoBlues!]

Essendon's tight lipped about #1, to get true reaction from the player. Gee those bastards are cruel. Imagine if the player's reaction is "oh ****!"

[Boltfromtheblue]

Are we there yet?

 

[Chalky Blues]

Brodie for me still 2 x BOG playing for Australia Academy team vs VFL players tells me he is good to go! SPS will leave within 3 years to big of a risk I reckon

 

[reubsblues]

McGluggage slips to 5 and Venables slips to 25 all a fantasies at once

You mean like all our other West Aussie players over the years ?

Reddit is laughing at her.

I've seen the AFL reddit, and it's not really much chop.

Of course I'm here to pot her.

A WEEK AGO she told someone on Twitter that Yazz would be an All-Australian contender for Richmond this year (2017 season).

That tweet was quickly deleted but not before it was screenshotted for all posterity. She has no integrity in anything that she says or does.

She's allowed some personal bias, but if you look past the idea of her not being a talent scout and instead a massive footy nerd who writes good content, then you'll relax a little bit and appreciate how lucky we are to have football journalists of her calibre at all.

Or would you prefer more Robbos?

Settling on Ridley before the draft has even happened is just so typically Carlton that it almost has to be true. I'm hoping it does happen just for the laughs alone.

He may be a good pickup, I don't know. But we really should be waiting to see what's there.

Isn't the policy best available??????

I'm guessing he's their current estimate. Most of the top 25 would have fallen into place by now.

We're not going to ignore a slider we like.

 

[Wickzki]

Good luck SOS and co. Here we go.

Really. You better ring SOS. ???????

If she's a big footy nerd surely she would have known that there was NO chance for Yazz to be close to All-Australian. Had this past week not have occurred I'm certain Richmond would have been happy for Yazz to get 15+ games of solid football into him.

I'd rather someone with some semblance of reality. Not a fanboy/girl.

As far as Reddit goes, it's a leap ahead of the BF main board.

Was the statement in response to whether or not he has the talent if he can get his mind and body right? We all know what the answer is there.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Who is this Ablett bloke on the panel???

Question: What do you expect Yarran to deliver in 2017?

Emma Quayle: If he keeps progressing you have to imagine he'd be close to All-Australian. -- end quote.
