[choco123]

Would be so stoked with that. Good effort (from a Lions supporter's perspective anyway ).

 

[HBF]

Not sure that Carlton would go for 2 mids at #6 and #40, but a good effort nonetheless.

 

[budge11]

Nice effort.

Pick 9 – North: Tom Swift - Midfielder - 190cm, 84kg - Claremont, WA.

Pick 27 – North: Nick Heyne - Medium Forward - 187cm, 79kg - Gippsland Power, Vic

I would have taken Jayden Post with Pick 43 though as we are in dire need of key defenders.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

seems to me that you made collingwood do well in this draft

 

[Mario the Lothario]

seems to me that you made collingwood do well in this draft

I noticed that as well. I'd happily swap the North picks for the Collingwood picks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rockliff ahead of Suban, O'Keefe..um no thanks..plus forwards are the LAST thing we need, we already have too many

 

[telsor]

Same.

Would prefer Adelaide's though. ( Trengove & Schoenmakers ).


Why is it when Richmond publically say we need to boost our KF & Ruck stocks people give us 2 of the shortest guys in the first 2 rounds?

 

[ChipDouglas]

Any mock draft that has Luke Shuey as a third round pick I just can't take seriously.

Why are forwards the last thing you need?

Llyod & Lucas are at the end of their AFL lives.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

But Gumbleton and Neagle are coming along.

 

[Breakthelines]

But Gumbleton and Neagle are coming along.

Haven't seen much of either.....is Gumbleton injury prone?

 

[LemmingMaster]

Any mock draft that has Luke Shuey as a third round pick I just can't take seriously.

You may actually get a shock come draft day. I could see him slipping to an early 3rd round selection.

 

[WALL-e]

Same.

Adelaide and Richmond can swap picks

For some reason we take 3 KPP in every draft, you guys go small and don't need to.

 

[coke_zero]

id like richmond to take a couple of mids to add to our speed and a KPP whether that be ruck, forward or defender

 

[Accepted 04]

Swap Trengove with Blease but keep Suban there. Collingwood seemed a bit lucky though.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why are forwards the last thing you need?

Llyod & Lucas are at the end of their AFL lives.

Gumbleton, Daniher, Neagle, Monfries, Jetta..do we need any MORE forwards. Yes maybe if there is a EXCEPTIONAL talent but Rockiff is hardly in that category. If we draft a key back at 5, we don't need a KPP at 23 as well, O'Keefe or Suban would suit us more.

 

[Vacuous Space]

Collingwood seemed a bit lucky though.

Yeah, no kidding.

Pick 11 – Collingwood: Steele Sidebottom - Midfielder - 182cm, 79kg - Murray Bushrangers, Vic
Pick 29 – Collingwood: Matthew Broadbent - Mid/Utility - 189cm, 81kg - Woodville-West Torrens, SA
Pick 45 – Collingwood: Mitch Banner - Utility - 178cm, 77kg - Western Jets, Vic
Pick 46 – Collingwood: Jayden Post - Tall Utility - 195cm, 86kg - Western Jets, Vic

 

[naita]

i think that if freo take rich first then unless there is an obvious choice we will go two smalls and a tall in our first picks. id also much prefer walters over jetta - personal opinion.

if we had taken rich, walters, schoenmakers and struss id have been pretty happy.

pretty sure pearce wont go that high and it would be criminal for yarran to go so low. good effort though, i like most of it.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

But Gumbleton and Neagle are coming along.

neagle is an absolute joke of a footballer will never make it IMO

 

[peggles]

id like richmond to take a couple of mids to add to our speed and a KPP whether that be ruck, forward or defender

i dont' think we'll take 2 mids (unless we take a mid with pick 8 and a bargain like swift fell to pick 26) since we already traded for thomson. We should take 1 mid tho.

add to our speed?? we have one of the fastest team going around man...we own the GF sprint

 

[Drumroe]

Great Draft for the Eagles, although would rather have Walters than Lynch

 

[peggles]

Swap Trengove with Blease but keep Suban there. Collingwood seemed a bit lucky though.

yeah. don't think we'll take blease with pick 8. we ought to get trengove/sidebottom/swift with what's left at pick 8 in this mock

I was thinking the same thing. I would rather walters than jetta.
Other than that would be very happy with struss and shoenmakers

 

[scooter600x]

I would rather think perhaps Footscray might consider a key forward
