yeah i will eventually when it settles but a 2 time junior all australian ruck who could be anything is to much to pass up for coleman jones
Agree Hayes the better player imo. Jones is the type you let another club take then pinch him in 2-4 years

if hayes can improve his running he will be an out an out gun can do it all really. coleman jones is strong and a good mark but a shit house kick

Buckanera has Hayes at 7, Brander at 10 and Naish at 14 in his rankings. So in his eyes it'll be a massive draft for us if we land these 3 like everyone is saying

I think buckenara should be getting in on the concussion thingy with Barnes
 
So same friend just sent me a text stating Richmond have advised Balta they will select him if available with their first pick. Personally I don't believe it as everything is pointing to Balta slidiing and Brander is our KPP target. But then again, maybe we get both knowing Brander will be there at 20 too? This friend is very close to the Balta family so I'm not prepared to discredit him completely, obviously a lot can change depending on who is available etc... interesting viewing tonight either way!
If this is the case i would take Brander at 17 to be sure & Balta at 20 as he's not mentioned in the top 30.
Honestly i reckon we take Brander at 17 unless there is a slider we can't say no to. be stupid to risk it.

Looks as though everybody has been talking about the draft today

Well so was I , Speaking with a guy who has been involved in junior and senior football for over 30 years (customer) just 1 hour ago
His backround is mainly juniors but has been involved with clubs and knows alot of people who we see on tv involving junior players

Few Comments he made

* Stephenson wont be there at #17 and West Coast are really keen but even after Swans wont let him pass , I asked whats Richmonds chances he falls -5%

* Thinks Allen is our most likely with a sliding mid - Mentioned Higgins,Murphy,Bonar,O'Brien (said constable would be 20-30 range)

* Brander - I asked should tigers take brander at #17 incase he doesnt get to 20 - He's Answer 'IF' Brander is still on the board at 17 then he will be there at 20 he mentioned there are 2-3 other teams that really like him before our pick but dont have another before our 20.
* Naish - Thinks a bid will come between 30-35 (which put a smile on my face

* Hayes - I was a bit hmmm i dont like him, But he said thats a Bargain and didnt know for sure if we had an interest and mentioned we probably look at a mid but said a few things about Hayes that made me think.

He believes that Hayes is a very very good player thats been played in the ruck and is very good at Rucking but is really a genuine Foward that is extremely smart around goals and has the foward mentality as well as the skill, Didnt worry too much about the Tank and said it can be built up to a level that wont be an issue and he could easily becom a 50-60 goal FF if developed to be a KPF.

I asked him , What like a Daniher type , He said - There is no reason why he cant and he is definitely a hi class talent that's being extremely under rated due to clubs not valuing Rucks as high as they used to 10 years ago

I asked him 1 last question - As a smokey who would you take late or Rookie, He mentioned Jordan Butts and i laughed and he said why whats funny
I told him we did a phantom draft on BF and i had selected Butts for West Coast with my last pick - He laughed i asked why ?
He said he had an account but didn't post and mainly just read things


What was his take on Balta dropping stocks ?.

Do we take a player at 78 just so we don't go into deficit for next season? At pick 27 both our picks in the 50s won't be enough hence our next pick drops some places. If we don't take that pick then I assume those points move into next draft.
Yeah I don't know hey? I'm just hoping the bid comes as late as possible!
