Brett Anderson's Mock draft

[WaynesWorld19]

Murphy at 22 is bonkers.

So COLL could take him at #6 ......or drop to #22

I call BS

Another mock draft that doesn't seem to have taken a look at the Eagles current list. We have players already on our list who are tall forward prospects (Waterman, M Allen); meanwhile we lack inside midfielders.

 

[anotherletdown]

Is it just me or is O'Brien at the Swans first pick (14) a little bit of a stretch?? I understand the needs side of the equation but get the feeling he'd end up closer to our second pick than out first if we went another way.

Having said that I'd be pretty happy with a haul of O'Brien, Houlahan and McCartin. I reckon that second pick will be tough though - we'd also have need for Paton or Ling who would still be available

 

[Richo83]

Well there is.

He was considered a potential #1 pick at the U/16’s level, was rated as highly as Cerra and Stephenson.

Injury has ruined his last 2 years, being out of the TAC Cup spotlight when he could of played as a 16 year old has added to that. He also hasn’t grown since back then.

The talent is still there, definitely enough to go in the top 25.

But the same reason why he could become a hidden gem is the same reason why he might fall.

Its putrid isn't it. If this is what we took, the trade of next years 1st rounder was a massive bust. Could've taken Ryan last year as a rookie pick and instead we take gorter only to delist him a year later then use pick 26 on Ryan. That would be worst list management in history.

I actually like BA’s work and listen to and read a bit of his stuff. He is linked in well with the industry. I’d be stoked if Melbourne landed the players he has us getting. But can’t see it.
It does seem a bit out compared to other mocks but who knows there are always sliders and bolters.

 

[MotleyLemon]

Miers at 58, sign me up.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

You reckon 1 will go outside of top 20?
I'll consider taking that bet, depends what is on the line?

I reckon all three will go outside top 20. Flair bet?

 

[CaptainMurphy]

I want in on this as well.

Who's going to bid on Naish or Ballenden inside the top 20?

No one is going to Bid on Ballenden before pick 15. After pick 15, it's the Bulldogs and Richmond who the Lions traded favourably with during the trade period, and Gold Coast, and the two QLD clubs don't bid on each others academy kids.

Personally I have Melbourne bidding at Ballenden at 29, simply because Melbourne have form for such a thing. Twats.

Despite Twomey's ratings, Naish isn't a first round talent, and none of the clubs with later first round picks will bid on Naish. There's even a good chance Naish goes later than pick 23. If North don't bid at 23, Geelong won't due to Geelong and Richmond trading second and third round picks and will have a gentleman's agreement in place.

Spargo is small, and despite talent, small players always fall in the draft. Being out of sight due to injury won't have helped Spargo's draft stocks.

The only risk would be us bidding on Naish at 16, and even that we've cooled on. Can't see how any of these go top 20 otherwise, let alone all three.

Apparently Carlton are considering him at #10

Yep I want in on this bet. Can't see any of the three in question going before 26.

Don't rate Spargo at 23?

Get the feeling they're pick someone else there.

Reading the write up he sounds like a good fit at 23, his dad played for North too.

Can you divulge who North might be looking at?

No.

No.

, is it a secret?

Who do you think that they should look at?

Geelong will bid on Ballenden i expect (unless Brander's there as well but Richmond will probably take him earlier) as he fits exactly what we need.

But broadly i agree wb at 16 is the only club i see bidding on naish ballenden naish probably wont get bid until 20-25 range.

North might have some interest in spargo at 23 but otherwise he could be later r2.

 

[Dysfunctional]

Charlie Spargo at 23, Patrick Naish at 27, Connor Ballenden at 32... having an absolute laugh, all will go top 20.

None of them will go top 20

 

[briztoon]

I did. I was just expanding on it. Sorry if I sounded patronising.

All good mate.

 

[Dysfunctional]

Yes that made no logical sense to me either

Pretty simple I would have thought. Different clubs rate players differently

 

[WilloTree]

Doesn't look like Balta's a bolter.

 

[WilloTree]

The whole Ryan speculation is laughable

Laughable in that there was 0 reason not to rookie him last year by the Eagles. Anyone with half a brain could forsee this outcome (plays well in 2017 for Subiaco and then there is a fight for him in the draft). Absolute morons the Eagles list people are

Also, I don't think Allen will be at West Coast next year

fwiw, I don't recon there's much of a fight for him. Not sure if you saw the WAFL finals, but Nyhuis toweled him twice.

Won't be AFL standard, and Eagles knew that last year.

 

[Aramis]

I reckon all three will go outside top 20. Flair bet?

Sounds fair, heres the official terms....

All 3 go top 20 = I win
All 3 go outside top 20 = you win
If its mix and match (some inside/some outside top 20) = drawn bet

Avatar control for a month for the winner (if there is one)?
