2017 Draft rumours

[bmaurizio]

I think that kid is a natural footballer with great hands, a great understanding of the ball in flight and a lovely shoe.

Reminds me of Fyfe with a better kick

Sound like a ripper, maybe Silvagni & Brodie will surprise us all at 3

 

[jesterwester]

Someone posted on our board that we have been talking to N Murphy and his parents, could be a left field pick at #5

I hope not

I would expect you would have talked to a lot of kids and their parents this past fortnight.

It might suggest that as he's come into top 10 calculations by a few, you've just revisited his file to see whether your rankings need to be updated.

Would be very surprised if you went that way.

 

[Dysfunctional]

Well I aint arguing with that

Why the knock on UDL did he interview poorly ?

LDU was actually seen by Brisbane as the most likely flight risk

 

[Dysfunctional]

*points to official league premiership records ... laughs*

Who cares. It’s a draft rumours thread not a pissing contest

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Of interest, how do Swans fans feel about your haul in the Blues BF Phantom (on our board)? I tried to address needs and get best available while being realistic as to who might actually fall. 3 picks in at this point.

I'd prefer Petty in the 2nd round. Even though I'm a huge fan of OBien if Richards and Murphy are there or LFog I feel we would take one of those 3

You can't blame them for being gun shy, geez they have lost a few over the years

They seem to think Rayner is slightly ahead of Brayshaw at the moment

Yes you can’t blame them for being gun shy at all. And they saw LDU as the biggest flight risk. They’ll take Rayner and hope Fogarty gets through

 

[WilloTree]

Rayner but they should pick Brayshaw

this

 

[Groin guru]

According to a reliable source of the North board we are into worpel.

 

[Matty411]

Just had a look,

your work was not to my tastes
LOB, Clavarino and Wooler have not been on my radar, infact I probably think LOB+ Clavarino are busts

don't think we really need a KPD either

but hey, we probably pick them all up now

I'd prefer Petty in the 2nd round. Even though I'm a huge fan of OBien if Richards and Murphy are there or LFog I feel we would take one of those 3

Fair cop - a lot of conjecture and disagreement on your board about your players of need/desire. Behind Alirr, Grundy and Reid (swingman) I wasn't convinced of your KPP depth. Also having lost a few taller defenders (Laidler, Johnson) and with Clav's rebound game - felt it was fair. Have also now funnily seen LOB's name bandied around at your pick by a few - maybe I've willed it into being!

 

[Mego Red]

So at this stage the Gibbs deal looks even better..

Pick 10 + upgrade 2017 pick 40 to pick 30 + Bulldogs future second rounder + Kennedy

for

Gibbs + future third

Are you completely forgetting the pick 20 or so in next year's draft that you're giving away?

 

[Taylor]

Knowing as I do how badly men are at reading signs, you guys are amazing at pulling information from the ether.

The Obrien pick would be one I love but I can just see our club a little sceptical of his lack of any inside game. In the last few days we've met Higgins and LFog- we did the same with Florent last season.

The 2nd rounder for mine is a best available sort of thing the draft thins out by then. Petty is a preference if we go tall. Could also look at a ruck.

And get Adelaide’s second rounder back. So it’s a move back of 10 spots at most. Plus Carlton will have 3 second rounders anyway.

 

[Mego Red]

Pick 10 + upgrade 2017 pick 40 to pick 30 + Bulldogs future second rounder + Kennedy

for

Gibbs + future third

It will actually be something like

Gibbs + 2017 pick 40, 2018 pick 22 or so, and 2018 pick 40 or so

For

Pick 10, 2017 pick 30, two 2018 picks in the late 30s and Matt Kennedy.

 

[Mego Red]

And get Adelaide’s second rounder back. So it’s a move back of 10 spots at most. Plus Carlton will have 3 second rounders anyway.

Carlton are a very good chance to be bottom two. The Crows and Bulldogs second round picks are almost the same as your third.

 

[Suma Magic]

According to a reliable source of the North board we are into worpel.

With 23?

 

[Wild Bill]

With 23?

If we took him at 4 we need to sack anyone that nodded their heads in agreement. 23 would be early - which I wouldn't mind.

 

[aussierulesrules]

With 23?

Hopefully 4!

 

[Dysfunctional]

Not a chance for bottom two with north and Gold Coast.

 

[Dysfunctional]

It will actually be something like

Gibbs + 2017 pick 40, 2018 pick 22 or so, and 2018 pick 40 or so

For

Pick 10, 2017 pick 30, two 2018 picks in the late 30s and Matt Kennedy.

Picks won’t be in the late 30’s. Dogs could easily finish bottom half. Adelaide could finish bottom half of the 8. You never know. Carlton hands down won that trade

 

[Groin guru]

Not a chance for bottom two with north and Gold Coast.

North will finish in the top 8.

 

[Dysfunctional]

North will finish in the top 8.

time to get off the crack mate. You’re dreaming

 

[Dysfunctional]

I could understand decent clubs hanging crap on North, but for a team who hasn’t finished on top of them for years. What would make North finishing higher than Carlton any different next year. Gibbs is a bigger loss than Mullet and Hansen. Let’s just face it we both currently suck.

I wasn’t saying we’d be playing finals. As I realistically know we won’t be. As I know north won’t either. And surely you don’t think they will as well? There’s no way the make the 8

 

[aussierulesrules]

Who cares. It’s a draft rumours thread not a pissing contest

Here here, so if you have any contacts are you hearing anything re who we're picking?
