Got a feeling if we get Francis we miss mckay but I could live with that

If we get Francis at 9, I'd go collins at 13 and we don't need to worry about defenders in the next 4 drafts

I'm starting to get the feel Collins won't be there at 13, could even go before 9 if Essendon's keen?

Wouldn't suspect Collins is on our radar, too similar to Talia for my liking. I like him though, just don't think he's a glaring need.

If we get Francis though, I'll eat a hat and post the video on BigFooty. Although I said that about Lever last year and didn't go through with it... :oops:

Fair point , reckon collins is a modern day version of rutten , would work well with lever as the 3rd tall ....collins much more proficient in offence than Talia
 
Who do we take at 9 if Mckay, Milera, and Francis are all gone? I think Burton/Tucker/Oliver would be next in line. (in no particular order)
Great question as I think they are our top 3.... Throw hibberd into your mix and that is prob the choice

Haven't heard any rumours about what we think of Oliver or Balic so they are 2 interesting names , I'd go Oliver as more a natural footballer
 
Yeah I think collins and mckay could both go before pick 9, this is what gives us a chance to get Francis

I guess KP quality is hard to ignore
I just wish we had kept 28 or 32 then if we really needed a KPD we could have taken the "risk" with Sam Skinner post ACL who had also showed he's quite good up forward.
 
Reckon getting Francis reduces need for hibberd and maybe tucker
Maybe at 13 we then look at milera, collins, Oliver, Balic and even AhChee
Would be happy with Ah Chee, Milera (although my gut says he's gone by that pick) and Oliver. Said my thoughts on Collins above. Balic? Meh.

Wouldn't underestimate Hibberd though, has a good inside/outside game. That's what you need to become a very good player. Reckon he could do some damage as a balanced mid if given the opportunity.

I would very happy with those, except I think we will look at a tall or a more inside mid if we get Milera, so maybe Oliver/Burton instead of Tucker/Hibberd.
 
So you agree with me? I said two of francis ( too good to pass up), Milera ( goal kicking midfielder/fwd) and Oliver ( powerful goal kicking mid) and draft the KPP's ( our need is a defender but we could draft a swingman) from the rookie draft, Francis, Milera and Oliver would all probably be able to play next year too
I was talking about your suggestion of grabbing a KP in the rookie draft. KPD.. maybe. KPF.. makes no sense.
 
Surely Carlton would want a KPF from this draft? If they do want one outside of pick 1 it will have to be H.McKay at 8. I can't see him getting past Adelaide at pick 9 and after that there probably isn't another one worst taking.


I think you have done a pretty good job of the top 10 there. The top 4 are a lock in my opinion, as are Curnow at 7 and H.McKay at 8 if they are still available.

The interesting ones are Essendon and GCS at picks 5 and 6. Essendon have said that they want a KPF and midfield speed in this draft which makes me think that they might take Milera at 5. That would then open it up for GCS to really through a spanner in the works. I have heard that they might be interested in Collins (hence the move back from 3 to 6) - hopefully this is the case as it would give Francis a serious chance of sliding to us at pick 9. From there it could go in any direction but we would end up with at least one of Mathieson, Balic or Tucker to choose from.
I think carlton will take Schache, they need a key forward, easy to find defenders
 
It sucks that we always have picks 8 or 9 + in EVERY single draft!
Then the one time where we could have had great picks when we finished low was 2012 (GWS diluted) and 2013 when we had draft sanctions, we're destined to never obtain a top 5 pick.

However Menzel & Brad Crouch in the same side makes it okay, cream of the crop those two.

If we got Francis at pick 9 I'd probably be too busy hammering down celebration shots to notice who we took at 13.
 
Michael Hartley would make plenty of sense if he doesn't go in the main draft this year as would Mitch Brown..
He's the one I was referring to, the player we'd been linked to - but whom I don't expect to be available in the rookie draft. Not worth using #13 on him, should be gone before the RD starts.
 
I'm just desperately hoping this is the draft order...

1: Weitering (given)
2: Schache (given)
3: Parish (Dees moved up for a reason)
4: Weideman (Dons need a genuine tall)
5: Mathieson (Dons need a mid to go with their tall)
6: Milera (Suns need class now that Bennell is gone)
7: Curnow (Dees need a Stringer-like player to partner with Hulk)
8: McKay (Blues need a tall forward together with their pick 1 KPD)
9: Francis (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
10: Used for Hopper/Kennedy
11: Oliver (Blues need a mid to go with their two talls - balanced draft)
12: Honestly not sure who the Tigers will pick.
13: Ah Chee/Tucker/Hibberd/Burton

Dons might take Collins and swing Hooker or Hurley forward??
