So with this rumour of us swapping picks 14 for 15 i thought i would have a look over the last 5 years which players were selected using those picks.
2006 Pick#14 James Sellar (Adel) vs Pick#15 Daniel O'Keefe (Swans 0 Games)
2007 Pick#14 Jack Grimes (Melb) vs Pick#15 Robbie Tarrent (Roos)
2008 Pick#14 Ayce Cordy (Dogs F/S) vs Pick#15 Mitch Brown (Cats)
2009 Pick#14 Lewis Jetta (Swans) vs Pick#15 Christian Howard (Dogs)
2010 Pick#14 Brodie Smith (Adel) vs Pick#15 Billie Smeldts (Cats)
Pick 14 looks to be winning atm, but surely we cant look into this too much

wrenny confusing jumper number with draft pick number?
Indeed
Downie wouldn't go past round 2 I'm guessing, either we take the risk and hope that Clay Smith, Kerridge or Waldhunter last until our 3rd rounder. Downie sounds good none-the-less.

I wouldn't think so given it has absolutely nothing to do with this draft.
Yeah wanted to get him last year, no different this year.
Rate him higher than downie though i havent seen him play except for a 2 minute highlights from last year. Have seen downie play and when the ball hit the ground he reminded me of gus just looked lost though much better everywhere else than gus.
How much footy has Downie played though? Wouldn't suprise me he looked lost if he's hardly played. Would like to rookie Cope as well.

Debutant
Club scouts are amazed at what young star, Jaegar O'Meara is or has produced so far in his junior career. A scout as likened him to dual Brownlow Medalist, Chris Judd, if not better. Has a mix of endurance, speed, skill and composure. Gold Coast are in the box seat for the young star by seriously considering handing over their number 4 draft pick to GWS which will give GWS, the first 5 picks in this years draft. O'Meara though can't stay playing in the AFL until 2013 under AFL regulations.

I don't reckon it would be a reach at all. I like him too.
+1 reminds me of karnizes from brisbane.
Also some snippets of markworth in this vid:

Walhunter has no chance of lasting to the 3rd round. Some think he'll go pick 15-25. I wouldn't be surprised if we took him for some added grunt in the future when Tucky slows down

I am sure this kid is going to be a gun too, however I would just like to point out that i think scouts throw round these wraps too easily. Tambling was described by scouts @ the under 18 carnival as a mix between Judd and Akermanis.....
Imagine if Tambling had come good and was a Judd/Akermanis for us.......we'd be top 8 for sure.
sigh

If Tambling had come off for us, if we had taken Buddy etc etc you could kiss good by to Cotchin, Vickery, Martin as we wouldn't have had the picks to draft them. We have plenty of 10 year players and some potential champions for the near tomorrow. I've forgotten about yesterday.
I also was on the Leif Cope bandwagon last year, But have struggled to find any news of him this year.
Should have Rookied the kid has a huge amount of potential

OMG! I have fallen for Ben Darrou! check out this video and tell me you dont want this kid on our list. I reckon we could snap him up with our 3rd rounder. Reminds me of James Guilt with a bit more grunt. Tackles like a beast. Good 1%ers. Worth a crack

OMG, from me as well? WHow, he's likely to go before round 3, surely;OMG! I have fallen for Ben Darrou! check out this video and tell me you dont want this kid on our list.

That size, mobile, evasive, skilled, well balanced. I"m thinking of load some dead wood (for picks) & pick him up in the 2nd round;
Check him out!
Ben Darrou looks good. Like his movement in traffic, tackling, physicality and neat disposal. Good size for a back flank/pocket.
I watched Darrou in the TAC cup granny. He was solid that day. Great user of the ball, big boy but 190cm makes him an odd size. Nevertheless he didnt struggle to play on blokes bigger and smaller. Does actually get involved rebounding out of defence. Runs, chases, tackles, second/third efforts and I've heard he is a good bloke too
I honestly believe he will be on the board at our third pick but FJ might have to reach for him at our second just to make sure! Knightmare has him going fairly late

I dont mind Darrou. Wouldn't use a 2nd rounder on him though. Will be available in the 3rd possibly 4th round when u consider our 4th rounder won't actually be in the 70's because teams will get in and out of the draft early.
s**t, hadn't heard of Darrou before today but he looks like whoever picks him up defenitely has something to work with. Looks very composed.
Would take him with a 3rd rounder if he was still available

Good pick up on Darrou guys, what you guys are saying is pretty spot on in terms of what kind of player he is.
Strength, skills and composure. No doubt he has a lot going for him. My main query on him would have to be his pace and height.
I'm sure clubs would be taking a keen interest in his sprint time as the first 20 meters is very important for defenders. It hasn't really been much of an issue this year in the TAC as he's an exceptional reader of the play and has relied on that to be the first to the ball or kill the contest.
If he was 3-5 cm taller he'd be seen as one of the better defenders of the draft and a 2nd rounder, but third round onwards is probably right.
