Was just watching an old game and flash Campbell is playing - really need to find a guy with his speed in the forward line.

That Ben long kid would be nice.

there is a good article on Ben Long here:

http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?client=1-118-0-0-0&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=48643631

The 185cm forward booted six goals in their big preliminary-final win against Collingwood and another two in the premiership triumph over the Casey Scorpions on the big stage of Etihad Stadium, highlighting why a host of AFL clubs had nominated him to return to the venue for the recent NAB AFL Draft Combine.

At the four-day screening of the nation’s most sought-after football talent, Long recorded a level 13.6 beep test as well as times of 10:52 in the 3km time trial, 3.03 seconds in the 20m sprint and 25.90 seconds in the repeat sprint test, while also finishing equal-third in the kicking test

Any potential opposition F&S/Academy prospects we could bid on?

Be good for a laugh tho.

 

[shinboner magic]

After 2pm I'll be going to the phantom drafts board- I'll be back at 3 with my expert opinion

Perryman and Setterfield may both be in play when we get to 11, but would expect GWS to match both.

 

[koshari]

Surely GWS dont have the spaces to use all those 9 picks inside 60???

Wont they be using the 2nd pick for mcgrath?

I can see them rolling a hell of a lot of those later picks up for points.

I mean we will probably have the option of bidding on either at 11, but GWS will then match for both players.

So assuming we bid on both with 11, I expect one would be matched with 15, then the other with 37, 39 and 52. Might mean we can grab one of their other kids such as Macreadie with 32 or 33.

Not sure what their crop is like for 2017 and if they would be prepared to go into deficit or not.

[tazaa]

Do we need to use a pick to upgrade Preuss?

 

[andana]

He and Maj are up leaving us with 2 picks

We will make an extra list spot by delisting McKenzie. No way are we going to pass or elevate a rookie with a pick in the 30's.

Thought you had to take three players in the draft excluding rookie promotions?

Rookie promotion counts.

2011 we took McKenzie, Curran then used next 2 picks to upgrade Delaney and Pederson.

But we will take 3 players.

Forgot about 2011. Ripping draft that one...
You're right though no way we'll be upgrading with our pick in the 30s, lots of good players will still be available there. I predicted McKenzie delisted and rookied in the 2017 rd 1 thread.

 

[dus]

Delist Tippet and BMac.

Rookie List BMac. See ya Tippo.

4 picks. Let's use 87 on a underage speculative kid from the NT.

 

[king rising]

Pick 11 we should pick best available midfielder, simple as that.
pick 32 we should select Cedric Cox
pick 33 we should select Dylan Clarke who will be a direct replacement for Andrew Swallow when he retires.

 

[giantroo]

Those Melbourne boys going to GC/GWS/Brisbane will be coming straight back home after their 2 year terms end.

[Ohhh Errol]

We need someone to pull a wingard. We could effectively have pick 7 if the message to not want out of Vic hits the interstaters.

 

[giantroo]

Brett Anderson says that GC are interested in Jack Scrimshaw. Could be gone by pick 10.
