2017 Draft rumours

[Drewie11]

Collingwood grab Fogarty at 6 and Adelaide grab Richards at 12 and we will swap them in 2 years

North must seriously hope to assemble the slowest midfield in afl history if they pick Constable. Zeiball, cunnington, Constable among other slow mids is very yuck

Ziebell won't be playing much midfield if we pick up LDU or constable.

I doubt constable will be available at north's second pick anyway. Picking up an inside mid with our first pick, whoever that is, means we will definitely target outside run with the second pick as that was directly stated by the club. Ling, spargo or Richards with the second round if LDU or Dow is picked up.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Agree with this, the Bombers did it well and it's exactly how Carlton are building as well. Talls have to come first.

It's definitely the direction re-building clubs are heading, targeting top 25 kpp's first is the way to go. Carlton have done it well and north did it with McKay, Durdin, EVW and Nielson.

Has everyone forgot when Richmond stuck it to GWS and Brisbane in 2015 with their academy players?

They bid on Kennedy and Hipwood in a row before taking Rioli.

We swapped picks with Brisbane, so unlikely they will bid. GWS a good chance to bid after pick 25. In 2015, both these clubs stocked up on later picks to allow for earlier bids. It was not like they lost picks in teens when the bids were made.

I can see the system be used by clubs to allow other clubs to have their picks first before bidding on their f/s if the player is rated around that range. For example North doesn't bid this year on Naish with pick 23 and then next year don't make a bid on one of North's f/s if our pick falls before North's.

You realistically wont have a chance on two of them.

Although straight out of the horses mouth, this could be a bit of bluffing so I guess it could still be considered rumour at this stage.

Hine on Collingwood's website last night essentially said that, like usual at the top end, we'd have them in best available order and cross them out as they're called out on draft night. On this basis, likely to be a mid/utility type (read: not Naughton).

Pick 38 likely to be needs based (a KPP of some description). Likely won't match any bid on Tyler Brown before our second pick at 38 if there is one.

Once we get to our third pick, we will assess to see if any decent players who have slid that are worth taking a punt on (as we have with Jono Marsh and Tom Phillips in recent times), otherwise we will likely take Tyler Brown regardless of a bid and pass on our fourth round selection.

You mean the 2 that will nominate other clubs, Blakey and Scott?

Obviously they haven't picked us yet, but you won't get a chance to bid on either of Thomas or Blakey.

This could have been the first "live" trade done on Draft Night .......sadly a year too early

Are they rated well before pick 18?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Are they rated well before pick 18?

Yep, rated as top 10 talent.

 

[RUNVS]

Yep, rated as top 10 talent.

Impossible to really tell at the moment though as look at how the expected top 10 today were rated a year ago. It is quite a bit different.

Blakey likely to be at the Swans though

True, but I rate both kids based off the comments of those that have watched both boys.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

True, the home factor is very strong.

 

[RUNVS]

True, but I rate both kids based off the comments of those that have watched both boys.

He could end up being like that Ballender kid at Brisbane (or however you spell his name). A year or two ago he was rated as a possible number 1 draft pick and now come draft day he is expected to be bid on in the 30's.

Still a reasonably exciting prospect though as not many men that size can kick as well as he can but he is not the exciting prospect he was a year ago.

Who is Will Powell from Claremont? I can't find any real info on him

Dow on RSN this morning, "Would be very special to play for North Melbourne, I would love it, it would be awesome. I would also be close to my family".

Not sure if message to Carlton. LDU or Dow it may come down to for Carlton if Freo go with Cerra/Brayshaw combo, so it'll be interesting who Carlton choose in that situation.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I might be alone here but I think Fogarty would make quite a good clearance mid

I don't think you're alone there at all.

Happy draft day everyone.

Doubt SOS would care about that.

The kid is basically gushing about North.

What do you make of that if you are Carlton?

Carlton are picking Dow 100%. Guaranteed
