Rumour 2020 Draft Rumour Mill

[Toadvine]

With less than a week to go before the draft I thought a rumour thread could be a good idea to post any whispers from journos and BF posters alike to help create some hype in the lead up.

First up

Matt Balmer from Fox Footy mentioned in his draft Chat today that Liam Kolar is a chance to be taken by the Tigers in the first round.

He also mentioned that Geelong are one of the clubs that have done the most work on SA KPF Kaine Baldwin.

Cal Twomey has Jack Carroll falling to StKilda or the Lions

 

[Joose]

Jack Carroll will end up at St Kilda because he is a Jack.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Lions ITK posters have said we've heavily researched Shannon Neale and Connor Stone.

 

[Pykie]

Perkins a chance to get through to North at 11.

Lions ITK posters have said we've heavily researched Shannon Neale and Connor Stone.

Connor is a medium forward not sure that’s a need with Rayner and Bailey in our forwardline unless Fagan intends on playing Bailey on a wing

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Connor is a medium forward not sure that’s a need with Rayner and Bailey in our forwardline unless Fagan intends on playing Bailey on a wing

I imagine that's the plan.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Hawthorn will pass on Hollands if he is available.

Perkins a huge chance at 4.

 

[Pykie]

Connor is a medium forward not sure that’s a need with Rayner and Bailey in our forwardline unless Fagan intends on playing Bailey on a wing

Twomey is saying he might go as high as Essendons picks or even Adelaide at 9.

Might be well gone by Brisbane’s picks anyway

 

[PMBangers]

Perkins a chance to get through to North at 11.

I'd put money on that not happening

 

[Pykie]

I'd put money on that not happening

Me to.

But Balmer and Twomey have both run with him a chance of getting through to GWS or North.

Probably dependent on if Essendon go for Bruhn or Henry

Zane Trew has apparently been bombing in club interviews.

Sumich in a way confirmed that today when he said on radio that Zane has some growing up to do.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Essendon made the draft kids pay for their own coffee

Pretty brutal to make that public.

 

[Toadvine]

Link to interview?

Hasn't been posted yet from earlier today but a Freo fan gave a rundown.


The full radio show should be posted in here eventually.

Yesterday's show is there but not today's.

Not sure if this is Trew or false

That’s a shame. Doesn’t sound like the sort of character Richmond would want, regardless of ability.

Where does he hope to end up?

 

[Jen2310]

This might be of some interest to some.

Brodie Lake will be in the OPEN draft.

He is in the draft nominations database (Davies, Nichols, Jefferies, Fyfe aren't, meaning these will be pre-listed)

 

[Dons4Life]

Balmwe on fox footy reckons Reid to Gold Coast. I see their need for a key back and would love that pick as a bombers fan but just can’t see it happening

 

[Johnny Bananas]

That’s a shame. Doesn’t sound like the sort of character Richmond would want, regardless of ability.

Where does he hope to end up?

Perhaps he's tanking hard so he can make it to West Coast's picks.

Rather, a player like Will Phillips would be ideal for the Crows, but draft sources believe Phillips is not in the same category as the aforementioned quartet. Foxfooty.com.au understands the tough Chargers ball magnet has slipped out of top five contention, with Essendon looking more likely to snare him with one of its three top-10 picks.

Adelaide could avoid the ‘go-home factor’ and pick the local kid in Thilthorpe, who recently revealed he had a 90-minute minute meeting with coach Nicks. However he’s ranked below Ugle-Hagan, McDonald and Hollands on most club draft boards.

Adelaide is stuck in a four-way draft quagmire. Each way out is paved with big upside, but there’s a few traps

Sumich should remember praise in public and criticism in private.

Sumich is a first grade knob.
