Dom Barry sure wasn't the best at Melbourne and then quit. But I did like him at the time and he can seriously run and kick. Used to get about 12 disposals a game in the VFL and was 70kg max so he's building up over time.

As a north supporter i followed the potential draftees pretty closely this year and had predicted Bailey, Starcervich and Dixon would go higher than many were expecting.
I also thought Stephenson will turn out to be a very low risk pick (not factoring in the heart thing) due to his genuine ability to play in 2 positions. I assumed we would get Cerra at 4 so I wanted Stephenson instead. Pies got a real
player there.
The other one was Higgins. Great get for the Tigers I would have thought.
As for North, over the moon about LDU.
Just what we need.

So if we picked best available at 30, we settle for whichever ruckman is left at 72?
I think 4 went in that time from memory.

Why would you need to draft a ruck. You didn’t

Beatson with a dig at those in the media writing phantom drafts as he said he has no idea how they create their phantom drafts as he never sees them at the games.
Also said that the Swans had been watching Ling all year, and he had such a good Grand Final for the Geelong Falcons that he was very worried all the other clubs were going to suddenly take a huge notice of him as well.

North clear winners.
LDU - looks like Carey, but younger and probably a better bloke.
Walker - more like runner, gun outside mid
Kyrie Irving - freak mid, Fyfe-like
Xavvi - next Dean Cox
Hartung - three flags with the Hawks, invaluable experience

He must have known Saints were going to pick him - in an interview when asked which players he was looking forward to meeting, he was able to list 3 with ease which was surprising. Now there is no Nick, there is no default answer.

Just watched the draft, my biggest winner is the Brayshaw family. Both boys drafted, and both off to WA (despite different clubs), genuinely happy for them.

Not all of us are saying that. I think it is really stupid to look at reactions of players when they get drafted as you can read into it whatever way you want to. Different people react differently when big things happen to them, it's pointless trying to read too much into stuff like that.
Home to grandpa & ma's arms.
Last I heard Sticks was living in Little Grove, just a short drive away.
I’ll tell you in a couple of years whether we did well or poorly out of this draft.
The one thing I will say is that I’m really pleased with picking up Nick Shipley in the draft proper and not just rookie listing him. Without the Giants coming into existence he’d be playing soccer. Our first local (Western Sydney) lad. Will give hope and inspiration to the next generation of kids running around in the local juniors. His impact on the future of our club cannot be underestimated.

I'm not overly enthusiastic. Certainly not confident that we drafted a Gibbs replacement.
Dogs easily.
Club rated Naughton at 1, best tall since Riewoldt
Club rated Richards at 2, best mid in the draft, Rayner? Pfft.
Club rated Porter top 20, how the hell did he slip?
Overall, dynasty coming up.

I reckon right about where he went. Some other people said later or a rookie pick.

I think we did alright. L.Fogarty is a good get.
Hawks and Tigers did well. Freo have a good haul but you’d expect that with pick 2 and 5.
And after all the off season posturing about Ablett... The Suns go and take a speculative player with pick 19. Poor Powell likely to be the next Boekhorst.. not his fault that the Suns took him in the first round.
That trade is now Ablett, L.Fogarty and 2018 4th rounder for Powell and 2018 2nd rounder. Powell would’ve been available in the rookie draft.
