Competitions Draft Prediction - 23 & 28

[Suma Magic]

Not sure what prize can be offered for the winner...

But guess who we will take.

I've got no idea (part of the reason for the thread). If it's too early maybe re-open closer to the draft.

My guess:

23 - Talia

28 - Newman

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Lockyer and Nelson look like two types the Eagles always go for...

 

[pantskyle]

2 good players

 

[Prem87]

Be interesting to see who the sliders are this year. Devon Smith would be handy.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

23 - Daniel Markworth

28 - Jordan Lockyer

 

[tesseract]

#23 - Jordan Lockyer

#28 - Murray Newman

 

[worsfold]

Nelson and Tunbridge

 

[Bacchus]

Lockyer and Nelson look like two types the Eagles always go for...

Agree with this. Nelson could be a good player (like Andrew Swallow perhaps?) but I would like to see Murray Newman or a player like him drafted, which I think we really lack. If reports of Tunbridge training with the squad prior to the ND are true, perhaps we have our sights on him (but as a rookie only I hope).

Mckenzie and Lockyer*


Don't know shit about the draft tbh so it's just a complete guess based in nothing besides Mckenzie has a nice kick and Lockyer has been talked up as one of our picks.

# 23 - Sumner
# 28 - Newman

 

[Shazzman]

23 devon smith
28 daniel markworth

 

[dajesmac]

# 23 - Sumner
# 28 - Newman

That's a big, big call. Any inside word or just a gut feeling? If the latter, then I think you might be wrong come draft day.

Lockyer and Nelson for mine. I don't want Tunbridge.

 

[mattyc75]

23 newman
28 manson
big gamble but if it comes off will be better than the darling pick last yr

 

[maxrm]

#23 - Jordan Murdoch
#28 - Murray Newman

I know it's a big call - can be said I'm dreaming, I know that - gut feeling. I do think there will be better options than Lockyer at 23. Would not be surprised if Tunbridge got a rookie spot.

#23 - Daniel Markworth
#28 - Shane Kersten

Fair enough.

I personally think Lockyer is very underrated, I think he'll be a Darling-like bargain. He has everything going for him (great hands, great aggression, above average speed, one of the best kicks in the draft). Snag him with 23 I say West Coast!

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Lockyer and Murray Newman would be my choices.

Keep hearing we really want Newman so maybe him at 23.

Also WCE is showing a heap of interest in Manson still, with Freo cooling on him.

But Freo have those late picks so I think they may still pick him up if still around.

Markworth is the other I like.

Iam honestly more impressed by some of the wa boy's more so than the victorians on offer this year, in regards to picks in the 20 to 45 range.

Elliot Yeo is another, that if he was a victorian would probaly be rated a lot higher.

 

[dajesmac]

Surely Newman though would be more likely to last to 28 than Lockyer if we wanted both? I highly rate Newman, gun.

 

[ArdentEagle]

#23 - Newman
#28 - Schade

 

[bodazoka]

I only ever care about the draft when we have top 10 picks. It will be interesting to see if we even manage to pick a 100 gamer the way people talk about this draft.

 

[Eagle Ant]

Lockyer & Curran. 2 key position players.
We can get mids with our rookie picks.
Their are a few mids around that we can get and brennen Stack as well.

 

[keviewiggle]

Somehow I would like to see Newman,Tunbridge, Mansen and Leon Davis at the club next year.
How we can achieve this with a mixture of National Draft, PSD and rookie selections I don't know. But I'm sure it is possible .

 

[Obeanie1]

23: Lockyer / McKenzie
28: Lockyer / Newman / D Smith

If McKenzie is gone by 23 then Lockyer.

Lockyer + Newman would be two solid WA lads to pick up.

Devon Smith is the type we need and may slip due to height.

Manson we won't get IMO unless in the rookie draft or if we somehow get a 3rd round pick in play. I'd use a 3rd rounder on Manson.

Turnbridge for our first rookie spot if we get lucky.......very lucky.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

23: Marksworth/ McKenzie
28: Newman

Fremantle:

16: Smith
20: Lockyer
