Cleric's first round mock draft.

[Cleric]

1 Brisbane - Cam Rayner
2 Freo - Davies-Uniacke
3 Carlton - Cerra
4 North - Dow
5 Freo - Naughton
6 Pies - Brander
7 St Kilda - Brayshaw
8 St Kilda - Higgins
9 Dogs - Coffield
10 Carlton - Stephenson
11 GWS - Hayes
12 Adelaide - Fogherty
13 WCE - Clark
14 Swans - Allen
15 Bris - Balta
16 Dogs - Bonar
17 Richmond - Naish

Not allowing for bids etc, just who I think clubs will end up with in their first round.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Stephenson won't last to Carlton's 10. If North don't take him, the Saints will.

 

[doona]

Won't Brisbane follow the no Vic Metro kids and draft Davies-Uniacke like they have been over the past few drafts? Thats what I am expecting them to do regardless of the player comparisons between Rayner & Davies-Uniacke.

 

[briztoon]

Can't see Brisbane taking a tall at 15. Bonar a possibility, but most likely best mid available, even if it is a bit of a reach, Rayner's team mate, Lachlan Fogarty.

Brisbane will stick to taking talls from our academy. We'll match a bid on Ballenden where ever it comes. We have a KPD we quietly rate in Jack Payne. And we have another likely KPF coming through in 2019, Kobe Tozer already 194cm, averaged 16 disposals, six marks and three goals per game at the Under 16 Championships this year.

Pies wont take Brander, his work rate is questioned.

Rayner has come out and said he is happy to move interstate.

 

[doona]

Rayner has come out and said he is happy to move interstate.

Josh Schache said he wanted to be traded to Brisbane/was happy with it hence they drafted him..... How did that turn out?? I can not see Brisbane taking a Vic Metro player with their first pick.

Especially with the commentary of Brisbane focussing on country kids as they don't have an AFL team to "go home to", only home state.

Schache was a country kid. As was Lever. As was Kennedy. As was Impey.
It really doesnt matter. I think they take Rayner.

 

[meima]

Can't see Freo taking Naughton at 5.

Now they have pick 2 they can get the best mid and best KPD in the draft.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Now they have pick 2 they can get the best mid and best KPD in the draft.

We are stacked at the KPD position though. Brad Lloyd has said as much as well.

Just no good ones...

 

[rgauci]

Just no good ones...

Going to be brimming next year with a free agent called McGovern.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Sorry Cleric, your not alone in thinking but the majority of Freo posters will be miffed if we take Naughton with our pick. A Pearce has been locked into that role and is incredibly highly rated in the club. Broken legs are come back from (see Fyfe and Barlow). Logue can play tall and played on Cameron, Riewoldt and others this year. Johnson is purely back-up this year and our backline is set for the next 6+ years. If we dont rate Brander, full steam on the best mids or fwd/mids train. We still have to get rid of Suban, Sheridan and Co and Mundy isnt getting younger

Haven't had enough McGoverns turn you down?

Yep pre draft comments mean nothing - he has to say that. Brisbane will most likely draft the best pure mid, so either LDU or Dow. Also agree that we won't go tall with 15 or 18 - we need mids.

Doesn't make sense that we would pick Naish at 17

 

[CaptainMurphy]

I'd be very happy if this is how it went.

 

[theGav56]

Another draft that pencils in Fremantle = Naughton and Adelaide = Fogarty.

Very lazy.

 

[2006_Eagles]

[Stewart66]

Stephenson won't last to Carlton's 10. If North don't take him, the Saints will.

No we won’t

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

No we won’t

You wouldn't? Besides some minor kicking issues, an outside speedster will complement the saints engine room.

 

[Cleric]

Matching a bid.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Matching a bid.

Which club do you see as bidding? I reckon WC at pick 21 will bid.

No they are not minor...suits North

Watched him a lot unfortunately turnovers kill you in today’s football
