To be fair, those clubs would have little idea at present. Apparently the Crows still haven't settled on 1, so the rest are in limbo until then.This is the rumoured order given from recruiters from teams outside the top 6 picks. With Hollands and Phillips switching spots.
Change Rioli with Papley and we are laughing.
There is no circumstance in this world where I would take a Papley over a Rioli.
Given we've got multiple picks in the 40's couldn't we get them both?
Also pretty sure a considerable amount of people would happily take Tom Papleyover Daniel RioliPLAYERCARDSTART11Tom Papley

One of Tillers or DGB is fine by me anyway for all those Phillips/Hollands hopefuls
We often talk about Best Available for the draft but we should all remember 2004. Hawthorn (read Clarkson) specifically wanted talls from that draft to replace the talls leaving (Thompson being one of them). If we had gone with best available, at that time, we would have grabbed Tambling and not Roughead.
On footballing ability no doubt.
I value character a bit higher.
stupid *checks date of birth* sexy PhillipsI want him so bad...
Long way to go. Leaks will ramp up in about 2 weeks.This kids just screams brown and gold - if he's still there at our selection, surely we'll pull the trigger?
I like the look of Hollands also but his injury scares me somewhat and I don't necessarily think he's a better player either.
Totally different attributes, personalities and skillsets.
It'll almost be a genuine relief once draft night is over, the suspense is killing me
Dem red herringsLong way to go. Leaks will ramp up in about 2 weeks.
Trying to replicate what we had before is silly IMO. Trying to do so would be like finding a needle in a haystack. We just need to keep on adding quality piece by piece and eventually we’ll get there. All I’m saying is that the quality of our 3peat team might never be seen again but it’s important to remember that we wouldn’t have to be cloaked to being that good to beat the team that has won the last couple of flags.Even though we have no spine other than Frost, until we get hard but leaders back in the midfield we’re kidding ourselves. I’d start there and best year chase KPP’s and that’s not even thinking about where the Gibbo, Guerra, Rioli, Poppy types are gonna come from. Our list is worse than it was before Clarko came and we had all those top picks and nailed them. As I said given everything start with the Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis types because without them we’re nothing.
Yes but basic strengths of premiership teams need to be considered. Run off half back, kicking skills, defensive pressure etc. I mention names to make those points. To me we have far too many players in the side without an obvious strength to one of these core needs. It’s an old adage but Clarko went and drafted elite kickers and all those lefties. There is an old quote that says a strategy, even a bad one will beat no strategy. At the moment I don’t see strategy. Fire up Clarko.Trying to replicate what we had before is silly IMO.

Remember Guerra was a DFA. Poppy a pick in the 60s.Even though we have no spine other than Frost, until we get hard but leaders back in the midfield we’re kidding ourselves.
