[FAITH]

Have info or personal opinion?

Bit of both.
Tried getting it confirmed before the bet, but couldn't.
Was only told, "big chance", so went with it.

 

[ShadeyP]

22. Would use 9 on either Macrae, Henry, Perkins, Thilthorpe, Chapman.

Perkins will not be getting past Essendon and is a chance the Hawks may gobble him up .

 

[dogs105]

There is only 1 F/S nomination, and it happens before the ND. This year, the nomination date was yesterday.

I don't know which article you were referring to, but either it was wrong, or (more likely) your interpretation of it was wrong.

Those discussions about having to take Ben & Jackson with our last picks were referring to the RD, not the ND.

No, the rules have changed since Ben Jarman's draft.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Growing more and more confident thithorpe will be available to us at 9.

It’s possible

I don't think she's here - is she? I thought she was born here.

AFL Draft Chris Doerre Knightmare Who should the Crows pick at Number 1?

https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_...t-************-knightmare-crows-pick-number-1

Says his mother is from South Australia and LM visits the state yearly. Not sure if that is with his mother to visit family or whether she lives here. Either way he has relatives here which is a bonus.

"His football is improving rapidly, and he should be regarded a tier above Thilthorpe."

 

[FAITH]

FAITH hope you’re right re: Thilthorpe
You thinking like Fogarty he’s rated higher in SA than other states in his draft year?
Or inside word??


Just can’t see Essendon passing on him
- Hurley and Hooker getting older, Bellchambers and Daniher gone
- delisted Smack

They have bugger all tall depth

The absolute earliest I see him going is essendon at 8 which is one of the reasons I wasn't gonna take the bet, but I've hear essendon are more into Reid 202cm ,Cox 200 cm and Perkins.

Wouldn't surprise me if we overlook Thilthorpe at 9 is someone like Bruhn is available too.

 

[FAITH]

It’s possible

One of my sources thinks we will probably overlook him at 9 to and he'll go early teens.
You heard this too?

if we take mcdonald at 1 theres no we'd pick thilthorpe at 9.

if its hollands at 1 then we'd take thilthorpe.

 

[FAITH]

if we take mcdonald at 1 theres no we'd pick thilthorpe at 9.

if its hollands at 1 then we'd take thilthorpe.

Clearly it's McDonald or Hollands for 1 though which is a relief.

[GROTTO]

I'm getting sniped by those 2 fools, so I'll snipe back.

And yes that's true, but it's a very strange thing to compare

Yes I know, I can see and I can understand.

In re: Mackay its not. Its actually scary to think of the shape he was in when first drafted.

 

[Murray2503]

if we take mcdonald at 1 theres no we'd pick thilthorpe at 9.

if its hollands at 1 then we'd take thilthorpe.

Depends on how they see Fogarty and Himmelberg. They could very well take both LM &TT( if available ) if they dont't have much belief in Fogarty and Himmelberg. Where do Worrell and McAsey fit into all of this as well? To me Worrell looks like more of a forward and McAsey a back. Alternatively they could both play down back.

fogarty has the talent. he just needs a big pre season. he would know he needs to get more touches.

himmelberg is still a big question mark.

Do you think it will look a little like this? I'd be surprised if Essendon would pass on Thilthorpe.

1. McDonald (Adel)
2. Ugle-Hagan (WB - NGA)
3. Hollands (Nth)
4. Grainger-Barass (Syd)
5. Phillips (Haw)
6. Chapman (GC)
7. Campbell (Syd - NGA)
8. Perkins (Ess)
9. Cox (Ess)
10. Reid (Ess)
11. Jones (PA - NGA)
12. Thilthorpe (Adel)

Talk is Fogarty is giving everything so far this preseason.

 

[Mutineer]

Perkins will not be getting past Essendon and is a chance the Hawks may gobble him up .

And Perkins would be the only one of those players mentioned there I'd be prepared to use pick 9 on.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Not Thilthorpe?

Bingo and TT of course but we know he is not getting to 5 let alone 9

You think the Dons would take 2 200cm players and not take another mid or mid/forward?

I don't know if ess will take both Reid and Cox or just 1, or if Adelaide take hollands or McDonald.
It looks pretty good though.

*I would throw Henry into the mix for essendon too

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Can’t the cops catch Thilthorpe doing a Brouch this weekend just to hammer home his undesirability.

 

[GROTTO]

Talk is Fogarty is giving everything so far this preseason.

Massive year looms for him in 2021, especially if we take McDonald and he happens to surpass him.

 

[DJ75]

If we took McDonald at #1 and Thilthorpe was available at #9, I'd still draft him there.

If you get both, along with McAsey, your talls (should) be set for the next 10 years. Use 22 & 23 for mids.
Use next years picks for mids. Trade in a mid. Anything. But if I had the opportunity to get both talls this year? I'm doing it.

 

[FAITH]

Massive year looms for him in 2021, especially if we take McDonald and he happens to surpass him.

If we take hollands would also show we have massive faith in Elliot and Fogarty.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

The absolute earliest I see him going is essendon at 8 which is one of the reasons I wasn't gonna take the bet, but I've hear essendon are more into Reid 202cm ,Cox 200 cm and Perkins.

Surely not
If he’s there we’ll take him I think

I have it if he slides
