Draft whispers, rumours & scuttlebut

[Defacto]

Actual violent harm doesn't prevent you from being on an AFL list.

Marley Williams.

he avoided jail... run over and kill a newborn whilst DUI... pretty sure you are going inside

Which is why we need to set the rules on whether we are talking about actual impact vs potential impact.

WCE to draft D Rioli if available

This an inside source or just a combination of putting 2 + 2 together ie what media is mentioning and what the eagles need

 

[Silvagnis]

What sort of world do we live in where someone taking coke and potentially damaging their own health is compared at all with someone taking a substance like alcohol to impair their judgment and then risk other people's lives by speeding around at 60 - 100 kph in a piece of metal weighing over tonne through populated area?

Do people drive on drugs?

Chad Fletcher allegedly flatlined in America. He hasn't changed his tune after being busted for cocaine.

A 24 year old adult celebrating a massive contract arguably deserves scorn than an 18 year old. Carlisle is the one who should be labelled immature. Still glad Carlisle went to the Saints. Doesn't speak much for the dedication of a so called star if they do this and then show up for training in bad shape.

Immature no doubt and yes he could potentially put himself on a hospital trolley like Fletcher did with drugs or alcohol. However, if he's not operating heavy machinery or encouraging a minor to share his drugs then it's really none of our business. It's not like PEDs either. They are different because using them makes his opponents have to at least consider using them to keep up.

RE is normally pretty spot on with his info.

Carlisle wasn't celebrating a massive contract, given his previous form it looks like he was just celebrating Thursday night

I'd love Rioli at 23 most are predicting he goes earlier though.

I wouldnt give up pick 50 for him.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I wouldnt give up pick 50 for him.

What's his draft range?

 

[Suma Magic]

What's his draft range?

12-23 according to the rumours.

Has Emma Quayle put her mock out yet?

 

[HBF]

Yes, http://www.smh.com.au/afl/trading-a...ub-pick-in-the-afl-draft-20151123-gl5zr3.html

It's got Richmond taking Rioli. Please No.

Thanks Finn.
Would be happy if it fell that way tomorrow night.

Yea my info is that if available wce will jump on him.
Was told WCE and Essendon had been speaking to him the most, and both clubs want him.
Personally would prefer other picks for our first but trust the club knows what its doing.
Rioli may end up going earlier anyway.

Sounds like he is going earlier. Have you heard who else we are talking to?

 

[sonnywalters]

Don't want us to use 4 or 5 on a bloke who will piss off home after 2 years.

based on a rumour on bigfooty?

 

[sonnywalters]

Laverde tanked his interviews and skipped draft camp.

Essendon cheating/drat tampering then? Oh there is a change.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Didn't Cyril do something very similar?

Wingard told Giants if you pick me I'll go home in 2 years. Brody Grundy was weird in interviews.

Happens every year.

Has Emma Quayle put her mock out yet?

You guys seem to be pretty keen on Emma Quayle's mock draft, I'll admit I've never read her before, but I'm not that impressed after looking at pick 5,6 & 7.
Surely, if Essendon have any inclination to bid on an academy kid, they do it with their first pick, not their second, forcing said team (likely GWS) to use the maximum number of draft points to get their man. Having 2 picks in a row gives them a unique opportunity to make sure this happens.

Emma gets good information so her mock is usually pretty close. Lets see how she goes tonight.

won't get past the tigers or hawks

She has consistently put more research into the kids but also being a legitimate mainstream journalist also has access to club list managers. She has consistently been very close to the mark. Having said that you also have to wonder sometimes if list managers would potentially use her to put misinformation out there.

 

[getgaff]

Ah Chee, Oliver and maybe Rioli (if Richmond) the late bolters it seems.

My own top 10 bolter is Ryan Burton as Carlton's preferred forward to McKay and Curnow. Not based on any inside info just a gut feel

 

[Defacto]

Emma had goddard to the saints last year which everyone then thought she was full of shit
