First Pick - Tyrone - Big bodied mid who would be great around the clearances to go with Nic Nats ruckwork.

Second Pick - Franky 4 Fingers - Would be a great crafty small forward.

Third pick - Bricktop - Another mid with leadership qualities. Would ideally replace Yeo in the centre.

Fourth Pick - Turkish - Good wing option to replace Gaff longterm.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Prefer Boris myself, impossible to kill tag the bastard.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

Question for all you AFL quiz masters out there. If the draft goes according to plan, When was the last time two kids with Hyphenated surnames when back to back number 1's?

 

[paran]

Surely Norf make Pies and Doggies use max points on Daicos and Darcy?


Oh yeah...

You take sugar?
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

 

[BBQ Mania]

Question to those who follow it more as I don't so much. There was a comment earlier about a couple of players being gone by our first in half the phantoms. Has anyone looked back to compare the phantoms to what actually happens on draft day, and how close are they? Are some usually closer than others?

I get that covid could make this year more of a lottery though.

Cousin Avi will be snapped up by Melbourne.
Melbourne?
Yeah, Melbourne. You know, deconstructed burgers, cans of VB, bad food, worse weather Eddie ******* Maguire. Melbourne!

Let me tell you a little story, about Angus Beef.

Some Dark Sharks describes him as the best contested, clearance midfielder in this years draft.

Thought you were being a bit coy, so I thought I would help out.

 

[dajesmac]

Hey lads I’m linking up with Knightmare on my podcast next week, let me know if you want me to fling any particular questions at him (bearing in mind I will probably only be able to fit a few in)

Phantoms are usually a better guide of the indication of where players are going to go rather than an exacta.

For example; they project Erasmus to be gone roughly between picks 5 and 9, Johnson between 8 and 14, etc etc.

There's a reason the guys on the draft hub board do phantoms year in year out. They know their s**t and are usually around the money. There are always surprises though so fingers crossed someone surprising falls to us, but as it stands, Johnson is looking unlikely IMO. Although if we end up with Goater I'd be pretty happy. Has has some serious qualities

 

[swingdog]

Bricktop already our best player.

The Board when ROB passes on MJ on draft night for a clean-cut half-back flanker nobody has heard of.

 

[Chris_6678]

From the few Mock ones i have seen us with either Neil E or Johnson. Which would we be happier with?

 

[mattyc75]

Ask him if he's heard about ward telling clubs he'd prefer to stay in vic and if he thinks its more acceptable if its Victorian youngsters making these comments
Also ask about the differences in knevitt and goater and who becomes the better midfielder in the long run

[Dark Sharks]

I'd be happy with Either.

Erasmus is like Yeo, Johnno has a Pendlebury background.

Both would go a long way to helping out our s**t midfield from the get go next year.. Can't lose either way.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I reckon both will be gone by our pick.

When was the last time someone slid to our pick (and this board wanted them AND we took them #NoBranders)? Darling in 2010?

I think most were pleasantly surprised when we secured Winder with 57 last year

 

[Obeanie1]

Wow. If Mac Andrews is 70kgs, thats a huge question mark on him being able to get his size up to compete in the ruck.

NN, Gawn, Grundy all around the 110kg. Putting on 40kg onto his frame is no certainty.

Id suggest his family genetics would show if thats possible. And that wouldnt be a problem.

If we wanted to draft a Nic replacement as close what he does there's your kid. Its just a big riskand slow burn, not as slow as some here think as the kid is a clearence gun and can play forward.

If I was Collingwood, I would call Norths bluff and let North keep Daicos, take Horne-Francis with my first pick and get Daicos a few years later after his contract expires with North haha.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Has some of the best hands out of stoppages in this cohort, the way he gets a handball off long and accurate to a player running into space is elite.

In fact at times to just have to shake your head and say ... WOW.

Sounds like Zane Trew

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Collingwood don’t have the next pick though. So they’d just be gifting Horne-Francis to GWS and screwing over North.

 

[Chris_6678]

He is the one i thought Freo would get.

Also suprised we got Trew as a rookie with the way he was talked up in the leadup to the Draft.

Oh damn haha. Slight spanner in my plan.

 

[Chris_6678]

I know not trade news but going off Willies Instagram he is back training with some players at the club. Looked like Shuey & Zane Trew with him briefly in the video.
