2017 Draft rumours

[Billy Puller]

McCluggage's face certainly didn't paint that picture on draft night.

I'm talking about when his name was called out. He obviously warmed to it once his mate was picked up.

Geez does anyone else see Andrew McGrath when they watch and listen to young Brayshaw?
I think he may be the safest of all selections

Might have been mentioned a few times on the Lions board.

Check out Berry's reaction when he gets drafted by Brisbane. Dad's all chuffed and Berry is white as. Mind you, that might have just been Berry's Victorian tan. And that's McCluggages dad reaching over to shake hands with Berry's dad. At least the dads knew what was going on.

Not quite as quick and better suited forward of the ball than behind it but I do. I also think the number 1 pick is a burden that you have to take the right player not just the best player at times. Brisbane probably don't have to worry so much about the media doing a Jack Watts to a kid, but they do have to worry about having a kid stay there, losing a number 1 pick would really hurt them, more so than losing Schache - another who the media jumped on and impacted his form.

Aside from having excellent character and therefore being a good fit for the number 1 pick like McGrath, Brayshaw also is a bit cleaner with the footy than Dow and a bit quicker and takes the game on more than LDU. I really think he's right up there for the number 1 pick and it will come down to how much the Lions recruiters want to take the risk on Rayner.

Apparently Essendon have shown very strong Interest in kyron Hayden in interview

Debatable. From a media/PR perspective yes.

But from Brisbane the fans point of view, Schache was seen as the can't miss, won't go home, new beginning after the Go Home 5 (GH5) debacle. Schache was the draft pick to begin the healing. And he walked two years later.

This year, no one looks at any of the number one contenders as "safe" picks.

A number one pick walking out on the club, more than likely many fans would hope that would be the catalyst that would lead to draft reform and locking in draftees to longer contracts.

Most of the kids are shitting themselves nervous on draft night, it’s not necessarily an indication of how they feel.

We better Bloody Pick Fogarty in that Case

With a bit of luck he'll be gone at #5

Then Collingwood would Happily Pick Cerra or the Mid that does not get Picked

 

[masai]

Darcy fogarty seen at Cockburn Aquatic Recreation Centre in perth today.

Could be a slider ?.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

The Brissy go home thing, yeah maybe, but every year there's stuff like (and I can only use North related examples, but I'm sure they apply to every club) how Bastinac was definitely going to GWS because he was mates with Scully, or Kelly would choose St Kilda because he was mates with Steele etc.

So yeah, in the extreme circumstance - Brissy - I'll grant it can play a role, but I doubt it has any impact otherwise.

It's not about mid-career decisions - it's about settling new draftees.

Is collingwoods priority a mid this year ?

 

[TradeDraft]

No but IF 1 of the Big 5 is there then we could easily Draft Them as a Safe Bet

Figgy is trying to create a whole team in his image.

Who's this "Big 5"? Obviously LDU, Dow and Rayner, but are the others Brayshaw and Cerra?

Yes they are.

Our club recognised a top 7, not sure who they had in mind but you would think it was all the guys you mentioned plus Stephenson and Fogarty.

I'm only guessing though

I don’t blame them. Very physical midfielder- the exact type they need. One of the more underrated players this year me thinks

Ya boi Chris Fagan says it's down to two for pick No.1. Didn't say which two obviously but you'd have to guess it's Rayner/Brayshaw.

 

[Mego Red]

You Crowbots seriously overrating Gibbs.

2x first round picks for a 29 year old..

We got Gibbs for Charlie Cameron and some pick downgrades. Seems fair to me.

Brayshaw looks the safe bet but I still think they will call Raynor. Tough to pass on who people are calling the next dusty.

 

[FAITH]

Is this Nathan Murphy kid any good, who does he play like?
