2017 Draft rumours

[TradeDraft]

Could be an exaggeration. Recall reading something about Brander not wanting to be drafted to WA. Saying you prefer to stay in a certain state is one thing but flat out refusing to go is taking it to extremes. Very unlikely

Didn't Duckley do that a few years ago?

If you mean Dunkley it seems he nominated Sydney but they passed on a Dogs bid.

[Wild Bill]

Whitfield is absolutely a gun and in the same bracket as Wines & McCrae.

Would you swap Wines for Whitfield ?
I wouldnt

I still think you'll go Rayner. Clubs should be able to pick the best draft prospect at pick #1 and feel confident in their decision. Recruiting Hodge should negate any go home factor imo - at least in the short term. He suits your needs doesn't he? And you have created a quality list and now have a quality coach. I could also see you guys outperforming Carlton this year so I don't see why they'd be that much more attractive as a destination.

The club has repeatedly said we are targeting mids this draft with our first three picks. If, in the long term, Rayner can't spend at least 50% of his game time impacting through the midfield, then it's arguable he fits a need.

Carlton are in Melbourne. Unless you live in Brisbane it's hard to describe how little exposure the Lions receive in the local market. There's little to no media or marketing opportunities for Lions players locally, to earn an income off the field. We're a city of 1 million plus people and less than 2% of the Brisbane population are members or attended home games.

Apparently on the radio in Perth today, it was reported that one high ranked potential draftee has said he will refuse to go to Freo if drafted. Does anyone know who it is or have any info on this?
If that’s the case the AFL should step in and suspend the player from the draft because as ai understand it, if you nominate for the draft then you are saying you are prepared to go anywhere.

Fingers crossed it is Brayshaw

 

[Wild Bill]

It would be a huge upset if the rumours of Brayshaw going 1 is true. I can’t see that happening.

It's Aaron Naughton, has nominated Collingwood as his club of choice.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Ess only had 2 that they were taking at 1.

This year we have 4 that could go 1.

Yes, but that was narrowed down to 2 with about 3-4 weeks to go ...

It's Aaron Naughton, has nominated Collingwood as his club of choice.

It is getting a bit ridiculous now.

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Hearing Bonar is firming for a hard rise into the top 10 position to the doggies pick

 

[M Malice]

It is getting a bit ridiculous now.

Yep, I despise 1st and 2nd year players nominating clubs they want to be traded to, now you have a player nominating a club pre draft, unbelievable.

We've got a player from WA who doesn't want to play for a WA team. It'll only get worse with draftees.

I feel ashamed for liking this post.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Must hate his family and friends then... imagine saying you don't want to play in your home state (would be refreshing at least).

heard this a week or so ago. Dogs been sniffing around A.Bonar.

Give the dogs A Bonar

It would be a huge upset if the rumours of Brayshaw going 1 is true. I can’t see that happening.

He was one of the 3 players Conole mentioned after day 1 of the draft combo that were a chance at pick 1 the other two were Rayner and LDU and Fagan apparently rates him very highly

IIRC the speculation around the time was that if a Victorian club bidded on Dunkley, the Swans wouldn't match it, but if a non-Victorian club did, that the Swans would.

 

[BPikkers]

Interesting to see that in the mock draft, which is more a "needs" draft, on the AFL website that Twomey has suggested Fogarty at #6 to the pies. Im pretty sure l have heard him also say previously that the Pies wont use 6 on Fogarty!!

He’ll end up being correct.
