Apparently Lachie Weller was Tasmanian born, confirmed pick up by Gold Coast

Well not apparantly, he was. Moved to the Gold Coast when his brother was picked up. IMO there will be 1 or 2 better players at that pick. Definitely not confirmed to be going to the GC

I think the eagles would be pissed as well. Highly doubt any one will take Cock ahead of us
The scenario presented could be likely enough, especially as GWS has those three picks in the top 10. They can afford to reach for someone with one of those three. Having said that, I would be surprised if they passed on Pickett.

I wouldn't be so upset if this did happen, but would prefer Duggan over Ahern, personally.

I kinda hope we take TouK Miller with our 2nd pick, as well.

Wow, does this guy despise the Eagles or what? Seems like the most horrible underwhelming draft ever! Here are some "highlights" on the players he picks for us..

Pick 11 Paul Ahern:

Evaluation of his prospects:
I’m not particularly sold on Ahern. I like what he offers and see why he’s well rated but something feels a little off. Even if he pulls all the parts together I’m not particularly sure he’d ever be a genuine A-grader. He projects more as a mid tier/role player and I’m not sure they’re the types you target with first rounders.

PIck 32 Declan Hamilton:

Evaluation of his prospects:
I really want Hamilton to succeed. He seems a good kid and with his bloodlines it’d be nice to have him. But I’m just struggling to see it. He has a lot to like and had a great championships but I just can’t see a dominant part of his game that’d allow him to build from it into an AFL career.

PIck 51 Harrison Wigg:

Evaluation of his prospects:
Wigg is someone who needs to end up in the right system. With his skillset he’s going to have to bang down the door in a state league to get selected as he does have some real natural limitations. He’s going to have to grab his opportunities when given. I can’t help but feel he might be a fringe player for a few seasons before being delisted.

Pick 69 Brenden Abbott:

Evaluation of his prospects:
Abbott is a massive risk. Missing out on the ’12 draft by one day, he was passed over in ’13. He’s had some elite games in the WAFL but also some howlers. His mixture of size, athleticism and boot is just too hard to ignore though – barring smarts he has the whole package and if it comes together he could be something special. That said, I think it’s very unlikely it does.

Can't wait for the draft! If this phantom does not get you exited for our future, what will!? :)

The only of of those players i would consider out of those would be Abbott as a rookie.

If we loose JK and don't draft any youngsters to replace him who would you play? Sinclar? Good teams don't lose there stars to fill a hole in there teams. Good teams add to there squad. If Wrights avaliable I'd expect the eagles to take him and I'd be happy with that. As it's already been mentioned we have a lot of midfielders already, add in Waterman plus our 2nd pick, add a fit Yeo playing more midfield, Shuey & Gaff stepping there game up as well & Sheed getting more game time I don't think our midfield is as bad as what some people make it out to be. If the club didn't believe these current players were capable of stepping up to the next level they wouldn't still be there.
It's hypothetical. If we traded him out and had a power midfield instead we would still have darling lecca and McGovern as well as a resting ruck up there which is enough for a premiership if the midfield is A grade IMO.

I agree the best way is to add to our squad. Just saying we have enough Talls so let's work on our deficiencies. Better mids
