Haha..... fair dinkum!

I like KM and respect his work on the drafts but sheesh.
I'm a very humble guy...
Only been here 5 minutes, didn't expect any replies at all!
Lot of good kids too look at, can't wait for the day to see who we get. As usual, we'll all be saying who, why, how he drop that far.

Welcome aboard mate, glad to have you around.
 
I was originally thinking...

5 Laverde

30 Mckenzie

48. Boekhorst

But now...

5 Wright

30 McLean

48 Boekhorst
 
I am sick to death of people making good arguments about who we should pick. Every time I settle on a player someone makes an argument about another player and I change my mind. My head is in a spin.
This is the first time I have actually taken much interest in draft day and I have to say it is exciting stuff.
Bring on Thursday and put us out of our misery.

No matter who we get on Thursday I know I will be glad we got him but also will be disappointed we didn't get one of the other 6-7 players who are all worthy as well.

Generally you get a really good indication who teams, in the top 10 anyway, are after, about 1 to 2 days before the draft. All interviews are done and leaks happen.

Last year it was Shazza or Aish at pick 6 and Salem or Freeman at pick 10.

At this point based on media reports, pick 5 is between De Goey, Laverde and Langford. We've been linked to 5 or 6 players for picks 30 and 48. Much depends on what other clubs do with the later picks.

Media link us to every player in the draft so they can sell papers :)

Bontempelli was a big chance at pick 6 if I remember
 
This is probably the last year we invest heavily in the draft
 
5.Laverde/Wright
9.Moore
30/48. From *Blakely/*Lamb/*Menadue/Rainbow/Maynard/Cavka/D.Mckenzie/Gore/R.Mckenzie/Boekhorst/McLean/Langdon


Impossible to know who will and wont be still available at picks 30 and 48 to narrow it down to just the one player.

*The ones most likely to be gone before pick 30.

I've only read about the players on here and in the media. Seen a few clips here and there so I won't pretend to know very much at all about them. One thing I know is that come Thursday, Hine will be reading out names that nobody will be expecting. (OK, pick 9 we can probably take an educated guess at. And pick 5.) But beyond that, Hine is a mystery. All the scribes and rumour mongers are just guessing, because they sure as hell won't get anything from Hine other than a straight bat.

After losing Beams though, I just hope like hell we smash pick 5, 30 & 48. I don't care who they are. Just 3 sooperstars please. Bring on Thursday. The wait has been long enough

You've been a good player this week. Welcome aboard.

Are you in Thailand bro? I love Thailand, wanted to move there with the wifey once upon a long ago, beautiful country. You must miss your Magpies though.

Who's your avatar, he looks pretty old school (probably someone I should know)
