How many times has Clarkson met Curtin now? Got to be at least three or four. If North don't end up taking him, then he must be a serious flight risk.

 

[Crow till I die]

Like he sort of fell into footy reading his comments...hoping he really does have the drive for it at the elite level

This worries me - McAsey vibes

"If it doesn't work out, I can always go back to basketball, but that game sort of set them part, just that experience and getting to play on the MCG.

"The Swans agreed not to match a bid from a (Victorian) club for him, only if (the bid) came from a side outside Victoria.

Smells like draft tampering

Definitely a bit whiffy.

Mutineer I have seen some articles now with Essendon interested in Curtin, and Watson falling to 8 or 9. If he was there at our pick, would we be delighted? Or pass him up because of needs?

Surely The Wiz won't get past the Bulldogs

 

[Brett Cummings]

I'm taking leake over o'sullivan. He can play multiple positions including midfield.

 

[LoBu]

I'm warming to Leake as we get closer, can play round 1, forward or back, could go into the mid as much as Dawson or Day did this year.

My take is I could not select him fast enough BECAUSE he is very high end talent first and foremost BUT he also works structurally for us as he goes forward and does magical things there and that frees up Rachele,. Rankine and Pedlar to be much more midfield which is a huge win going forward. So if he is there at our pick, just take him and thank your mother for the rabbits

I reckon the Dogs will take Sanders.

 

[Trigger13]

if Watson is there at 9 and we have Essendon’s pick, you take him without blinking.

Feels like the top 10 is less locked in than recent years.

Curtin, Watson, OSullivan, Leake, Windsor, Caddy could all go anywhere.

This is what the media has been saying a fair bit for a while now, and it'll be pretty funny if it happens (especially given what the Dogs gave up to get that pick).

Or another way to look at it is that our pick will get one of these guys so we are not missing on the best kids in the draft

Would be great to get 2 of them if we trade up

I suspect that is why they are trying from media reports..fingers crossed we succeed!!!

 

[BRL121]

Moir blaming his form on a misdiagnosed hip problem. He's raring to go now and talking himself up.
What do we think? Has he played the injury for tanking advantage? Should we prioritise him over a ruck?

He seems to be a WC fan, with family in Perth. WC and Carlton apparently interested.

 

[Crow till I die]

And he is a crows fan....I get a nagging feeling we are going to regret it if we don't take this kid

Why get him with a 2nd rounder, when we can pay a premium for him in the future?

Hopefully.

I would have problems saying on this board, I love Sanders.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[GreyCrow]

Moir v Goad will be interesting.

If both are there then for me it's Goad - just

I just think Goad does a few things with pressure on RoB being the most important.

Moir has talent but we are 'stacked' with half forwards

So that's now WC, Carlton, Syd and Bris with interest.

Just looking at all the picks the clubs have got, I'd say that puts Moir going somewhere 31-40. For example I highly doubt Bris are going that much risk/reward with their first pick of the night( assuming no trading up) but they might use their second pick on him.
