Burgatron's phantom draft

[fishman]

Anyone who had a look notice he missed our pick 25? It goes 22,23,25,26. Oops

Now I am starting to worry about Boak being taken at 7.....

They fixed it - though on one version it has Essendon at pick 25 and Geelong getting Ricky Petterd.

Now I am starting to worry about Boak being taken at 7.....

From what i have read, Boak is apparently seen as a first round pick. However, i think the cats will take a punt on him being there at pick 25. There will be too many better options at pick #7 to go for Boak - one of Selwood, Sellar, Thorp should be there and i cant see us passing on them.

Boak has recently been through a very difficult time regarding family and i'm not sure any other club would take the risk of separating him from his family and home.

Pick 7 - Sellar
Pick 25 - Boak
Pick 57 - Prismall

This would be a case of Geelong drafting for needs and not going for the best available... I hope we don't get Boak at 7.

I think Burgan has correctly predicted our first selection only once since 2000 (Bartel).

 

[daics cousin]

Come on cats pick up boak at 7 since he is your local boy and we can then pick up selwood if he slipped through or proud.Forget this guys mock draft it's f..............................ed.His got no idea

 

[carn_the_cattas]

I like this draft.
I think we could take the risk on Boak since we already have Tom Hawkins. But if such talent as Selwood or Thorp do slip I hope we don't pass on them for Boak.

How was Boaks form at the U18 carnival.
I've watched bits and pieces of the the Vic Country vs SA game, but don't recall seeing a lot of him.

I really dont know that much about collard
but how could he and houli and proud slip that low?
I really think that this guy has it wrong this year
I hope we dont take boak if thorpe is still available

 

[jim boy]

but how could he and houli and proud slip that low?

So the story goes:

Houli - suspect back
Proud - interviewed badly at draft camp

Gees , is just me or there really seem to be some fanicied names slip in his list.
Its a bit hard to judge who he is saying our 2nd pick is but we go Boak then Other guys like Proud , Derrkura , Collard , O'Keeffe ,Connors ,Clint Benjumin , Prismall depending on the type we feel we need.

Id hope we at least think about a guy like Jarred Allen (especially since we have lost a Jarred of our list) . He appeared to me , to be reasonably classy tall whos probably a bit undervalued only due to the plethora of talls this draft.

I believe he is SEN tonight after 7 some time , might have to have a listen.

Why are you worried? From what I have heard the kid is a class act.

Even though i was first to highlight Boak as Geelong's likely pick a month ago (and from London mind you) when everyone on here had him going as a second round, it is far from set in stone, you just never know who will fall and Boak may even be gone by our pick. He is the late firmer.

Hey mate. The 8.14 is not the same

They will get Boak but to pass on Thorpe or Sellar could backfire big time.

Proud probably doesn't have the best attitude out there... didn't he get into a brawl at the Championships. Recruiters are worried about his atttitude not his talent IMO.
