[Smythe]

He's gonna be Pick 1 at this rate

Didn’t GWS sell the farm to get pick 1 to use on Allan?

 

[PMBangers]

Didn’t GWS sell the farm to get pick 1 to use on Allan?

Enthralled by his untapped potential as a tall forward no doubt, can't see why not

 

[Bulldogs85]

They want Aaron Cadman

 

[PMBangers]

Alright I'll kick start some rumours for discussion then;

• Obvious first four selections are Cadman, Wardlaw, Sheezel and Ashcroft, no need to address that
• Essendon's pick obviously shapes the rest of the next 10 picks, think they're leaning Humphrey atm
• Gold Coast deciding between Ginbey (leading), Clark and Humphrey
• Saints likely take whoever of Mackenzie or Phillipou are left
• Jacob Konstanty and Charlie Clarke both heavily linked to GWS, apparently Clarke has interest from Collingwood too so may pounce at 16
• GWS likely to trade out 19 on the second night, wait and see on the offers but from my bias POV we should be able to get a future first
• Elijah Hewett may slide into the 30's, 75% chance he doesn't go first round at the very least
• For NGA's; Cooper Vickery the most likely to go prior to 41 (apart from Mackenzie obviously) which would mean Hawks miss out, Munkara and the rest should get through

Ummm.. neither may be available at Saints pick. If we take Philipou then I bet Eagles or Cats take Mackenzie

Only the teams in likely top 8 are trading F1 for pick 19 if one of the player they targetted like ( Hewett) still is on board

Have yet to see any interest in Vickery across the board. Very likely he slides to rookie draft, forget top 40.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Ed Allan to go top 5? Rumours are Dodo is a big fan. Eagles may have to trade up to get their man.

It would be such a Dodo move.

We'll see suspiciously fresh account

No mention of Tsatsas. Could he fall outside the top 10? I know I have mentioned previously he would go to the kangas but I now think it is more likely he will end up at either
St kilda, Carlton or the Bulldogs.

I’ve heard that if vickery doesn’t get to pick 41 then neither is Munkara. Hawks drafting strategy largely driven by messing with rivals. Rumour is hawks will take Clark at 6 before cats, trade in dogs 21 to bid on Davey and use 42 which becomes about 38 to take Munkara.

I doubt he falls outside the top 10, there comes a point where his strengths are just going to far outweigh his areas of improvement in comparison to others, and for teams with an already defensively solid midfield group (Hawthorn and Geelong for instance) I think they'd be happy to take him on his offensive output and back they could work on his defensive deficiencies over time and have it somewhat covered by others already in there, but it's hard to get a gauge on mostly, Hawthorn makes sense but their drafting last year indicates they prioritise footskills and work rate in their midfielders which would have Tsatas in an unfavourable spot, West Coast need to address all aspects of their midfield but may be wary of his 'wanting to stay in Melbourne' comments, Saints similar to Hawks have some solid defensive midfielders that could cover for him, and at that point would have to be a clear best available, but does he fit into a Ross game plan?

I've heard and seen a few people say that Hewitt will slide. Yet to hear why, do you know what the knocks on him are?

 

[La Dispute]

Ed Allan at 5 is going to be closer to Setterfield than Bontempelli.

Surely this doesn’t actually happen?

 

[briztoon]

Eagles don’t want him.

But nice attempt at trolling.

I’ve heard they may institute a pre draft draft where gws trade up from pick 1 to take Ed Allan as the first ever pick 0

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

God I really hope we don't take Jhye Clark at our pick.

 

[SumaGodCoach]

Hewitt was expelled in year 11 and forced to switch schools for year 12. I don't know exactly why he was expelled but it has been confirmed by multiple sources in WA. Hewitt making it through to us in the 20's feels like Jack Darling

Ben Simmons was expelled at high school and look how well he turned out.

 

[Smythe]

They want Aaron Cadman

No shit. We were joking

 

[PMBangers]

No s**t. We were joking

Please, only serious discussion on the draft board. Me personally, I never take the p155

 

[Orange crush]

No s**t. We were joking

Be nice .... it’s not always that obvious in this thread

 

[SumaGodCoach]

Ben Simmons was expelled at high school and look how well he turned out.

Using pick 1 on Ben Simmons is a little bit different to using pick 26 on Elijah Hewitt.

 

[La Dispute]

Any danger of the Blues trust leaking some negative rumours re: Sheezal?

 

[bird_man]

Ummm.. neither may be available at Saints pick. If we take Philipou then I bet Eagles or Cats take Mackenzie

Only the teams in likely top 8 are trading F1 for pick 19 if one of the player they targetted like ( Hewett) still is on board

Have yet to see any interest in Vickery across the board. Very likely he slides to rookie draft, forget top 40.

Then we will take Tsatas or Clarke

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Eagles don’t want him.

But nice attempt at trolling.

I have never trolled on BigFooty. Such behaviour is beneath me.

 

[Smythe]

it wasn’t want to be nasty, next time a laughing face will be added
