Bulldogs very interested in Brayden George (from AFL article).
How's that for an attempted rumour?

Interestingly, the Bulldogs had 9 people in their meeting with him (pipped by Adelaide who had 10!)

Which article?
Cheers.

I once had an interview where there were 4 people on the panel and that was scary enough. Imagine being interviewed by 10 people.

 

[La Dispute]

So many middling prospects in the first round.

Can easily see George getting taken before say Pick 20.

Which article?
Cheers.

Gone, not forgotten: Clubs eye explosive draft prospect despite knee reco

Recruiters have reached out to Brayden George after his knee surgery, giving him a shot of confidence as the NAB AFL Draft looms

www.afl.com.au

I know it's fashionable to bag out the AFL media, but I've enjoyed these draft spotlight articles.

These are 18 year old kids too so I can understand if some kids fluff their interviews (e.g. the rumours about Phillipou dropping after interviewing poorly)

 

[Blackhawk42]

Wardlow looks like a gun

8 should still get you a good player but it's a fair drop off from Wardlow in quality and 12 is probably scraping the barrel

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Sydney rumours, if they can't trade up for Humphrey, they seem keen on Cowan and Barnett

WCE rumours, they seem to be keen on Kaleb Smith with pick 26

GWS rumours, they are keen on Charlie Clarke with a late 1st rounder

Clarke makes sense for gws given a need for small forwards as does barnett (syd need a ruck hickey is ageing).

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Have heard the saints are keen on Ollie hollands. Will be interesting if both McKenzie and Ollie are available at our pick

Wonder what happens with the possibility of Tsatas sliding. Love to see a few clubs big boards.

 

[GT619]

This thread hasn't had any draft rumours for the past 10 pages.

 

[Big_Newon]

Hawthorn interested in Kai Windsor with a later pick.

 

[Mofra]

Ginbey is a media smoke screen IMO.

Great combine results but not much exposed form. A tough competitor who is improving at the right time but needs to work on his kicking.

Who do you think you'll target? Plenty of mids in the range of both of your early picks, and Busslinger is still rated highly

At 8 one of Clark, McKenzie or Phillapou.

12 Hewett / Ginbey or Busslinger.

 

[RanaNaved]

12 Hewett / Ginbey or Busslinger.

Twomey mentioned we're linked to Phillipou and Mackenzie

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Any rumours or?

 

[Giant Strides]

Any rumours or?

Not a ****ing one!

 

[MotlopMagic]

Seth Campbell has had several clubs call his high school to do a character check. More a fact than a rumour though.

It was reported that Hawthorn wanted to trade up to pick 2 from West Coast when they had it, with the rumour being that we wanted either Wardlaw or Tsatas.

If Tsatas does this magic sliding act I don't think he gets beyond our first selection.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Isn't this your first pick inside the top 10 for a decade? I suspect Geelong's team is really keen to take it to draft

Worked for us so far

Isn't this your first pick inside the top 10 for a decade? I suspect Geelong's team is really keen to take it to draft

We selected Nakia Cockatoo at pick 10 in the 2014 draft.

Before that was Joel Selwood at 7 in 2006.

From an article in the Herald Sun:

TALL MID WOULD BE ‘GOOD FIT’ FOR PIES

Collingwood is keeping close tabs on Dandenong Stringrays ball-winner Henry Hustwaite, who shapes as a potential first-round draft pick.

A 194cm midfielder who has some similar traits to Scott Pendlebury

, Hustwaite has links to the Magpies as the brother of Collingwood VFL co-captain Campbell.

“He’s one the last couple of years that has come from nowhere with a growth spurt and he’s learned to play inside mid and down back,” Stingrays coach Nick Cox said.

“He doesn’t have the power and the numbers running-wise as what some of the others do, but he just keeps finding the ball and uses it really well, particularly with his hands.”

Hustwaite impressed across four games for Vic Country in the under-18 national championships, averaging 20.8 disposals and 97 ranking points.

“He would be a good fit for Collingwood,” one opposition club recruiter said.

“He’s not overly quick but he’s got classy hands that can release from stoppage and the Pies have got enough running power on the outside now.

“It just makes sense.”

Collingwood currently holds picks 16, 25, 27 and 51 in this year’s draft.

Alright I've cleaned out the general pick swap chit chat, there's a thread for hypothetical trades here;

Strategy - Hypothetical Pick Trade Thread

For discussion around possible Pick swaps heading into, or during, the draft What is/ isn't fair, which picks are going to be the hottest property, the players that'll be in every clubs sights on night 2, etc.!

www.bigfooty.com

And the main trade board has individual threads for discussion on each team, this thread isn't the place for either of those discussions, keep it to rumours/ discussion around rumours rather than "I'd hate if my club did that trade" or "Would three toe nail clippings, a luke warm meat pie and Pick 53 for Pick 4 be fair?"

Only link I could see was to the players being interviewed

[Psicosis]

Hardly groundbreaking, but with Sheezel told at the combine, it’s understood that Wardlaw has been told this week North are taking him.
