If our draft worked out like that then I would personally take a shit on Vozzo's car bonnet.

If that happens then we have lost the plot.

 

[Richo83]

Balta at 42, wow. Is he a bigfooty special?

 

[Bicks]

I like it from an Adelaide supporter view.....to get Hunter Clark would be a dream result and McPherson with our 2nd I'd be quite satisfied with that too.

Get in line.

That's the worst effort from a WCE prospective I've seen. Kelly at 21 and Ryan at 26 is just LOL's.

I get your annoyance with the Ryan pick, but would you risk losing Kelly to the Roos at 23?

 

[giblj]

Hopefully Anderson is way off the mark this year

Definitely. I can't see them taking Kelly.

I reckon it’s really weird.

e.g. Rayner (or Brayshaw) for #1, LDU (or Brayshaw) for #2, then Carlton and North pass on Brayshaw and he gets taken at #5.

Very strange.

 

[Mofra]

I really hope we pass on Naughton, we really need some speed and class. KPD might be the only area we're set for (rebounding defenders a close second).

Seems like Brayshaw's in the conversation as the solidest citizen and least likely to pull up stumps after a couple of years. No go home factor for teams three and four.

 

[King Kunta]

He thinks Melbourne are keen on Ryan at 29, so WCE may have to use 26 if they want him.

 

[TradeDraft]

Balta at 42, wow. Is he a bigfooty special?

Just like Recce McKenzie and Josh Battle in the Past?

 

[blueiris]

Fogarty is massively overrated and only linked to us because of Rayner I saw the kid play a few TAC Cup games this year and can tell you that I wouldn't pick him in the top 25

I found it odd too

Wondering if that is a needs based thing.

 

[Le Grille]

Must admit when WCE traded for those picks, I initially thought it was to get Ryan and Kelly. There is a big thing in Perth media about having players at WAFL level but the WA not selecting them. I'd doubt that impacts the final decision but If they like those players I can see them going a bit earlier than expected.

I would of thought it was pretty obvious.

Anderson thinks North and Carlton rate others higher, but Brisbane and Gold Coast rate the go home factor higher than talent, they think Brayshaw is a surer bet of not leaving over Cerra and Dow.

How would you feel if the dees picked him at 29?

That’s really not that strange when you look at the reasoning. Reports are love him at Brisbane because of his attitude and the fact they feel he’ll stay there, probably the same for Freo.

 

[jesterwester]

Kelly I can understand us reaching for at 21- but would be very surprised if Ryan is picked in the top 50. Melbourne are also keen on Miers at that pick iirc.

I would be less surprised to see us reach at 26 for Starcevich who is noted at 52 but we seem keen on him.

WC will draft a tall somewhere so the Allen pick I'm non plussed with, especially with Clark going before our pick in this scenario,

What's the weird part?

I imagine both Brisbane and Freemantle would have to look deeper than just pure talent when assessing possible draftees. I'm sure there has been articles written about this in the last couple of weeks.

Both Conole (Brisbane's head recruiter) and Fagan have publicly said it's down to two. With those two being Rayner and Brayshaw.

Fagan and Noble are said be in favour of drafting Brayshaw, while it's believed the recruiting team favour Rayner. No idea where Brisbane's list manager Dom Ambrogio stands.

What will be interesting from a Brisbane perspective is who wins the tug of war.

These are the posts on the Lions board that has driven much of the discussion since.

October 26th.

Thats interesting indeed S.M. You may also like to factor in this inside info.I got today.Interviews are proceeding as we speak. Dow,surprisingly to me for some reason,is considered the most likely go home risk,and that is now very much against him.Rayner, has limitations at present,but presented verywell,and it is thought he is very suited to the off field and socialisation factors.He is liked by his team mates. On the other hand LDU,is seen as quiet,and maybe lacking drive.Concerns also after Scache, and personality type.The big mover ,is Brayshaw,who ticks all boxes and not many do in this draft,for our needs.He understands the job,is a dedicated professional, from a family who knows what its like,and is ready to play as contracted,and make a life for himself.even in Brisbane apparently! Cerra, Bailey and Clarke remain of interest,the latter two not first picks of course...I guess.Ballenden should be after pick three,given the only clubs who might need him have such early picks...they wont be using them on him.

October 29th.

The source ,is within the club,and the information came during the course of the interviews. The discussion was based on the fact that it was an extremely difficult decision, as none of the top 5 or 6,ticked all the boxes we are prioritising.Not saying Dow won't get the nod ,rather that its a moveable feast at present,and the situation is dynamic.It was a bit easierl last year ,but take McGrath and McLuggage out,and it would probably be similar. Its so much harder for us with the go home factor,and the Victorian vultures cruising around our young talent.Hope that is helpful.Ihave no idea who they'll choose,but as long as Ballenden is after 18 , think we'll all be pleased...and relieved.

We can have some very animated discussions on the Brisbane board at times, particularly in regards to inside information, sources and rumours. This wasn't one of the those times. Other posters on the Brisbane board have said Len S's information is usually spot on.

West Coast supporters seem to get upset with every phantom. You ain't fixing your midfield with pick 13 and a bunch of second rounders in this trash draft. Be happy if you pick a long term player or two. Allen looks like a natural to me anyway.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Murphy at 22 is bonkers.

Would you be happy if you picked Liam Ryan at 23?

 

[King Kunta]

How would you feel if the dees picked him at 29?

With 3 second rounders it wouldn't phase me, but I honestly don't know enough about the prospects. My opinions are based on brief highlight videos and what I read on here.
