Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
I doubt he gets all this true info from recruiters. Which recruiters are going to tell him kids they are keen on that he doesn’t talk up, they don’t want the general consensus to start talking about them. All clubs will have a couple that they hope slide under the radar and they wouldn’t be telling twomey. You think geelong or port last year were going to say yeah we really rate Georgiades.
Helps when he usually finds out whose invited to the first round, he won’t get that this year.
In a year like this, it would be no surprise that recruiters are keeping their cards a little closer to their chests. This might be a draft for the purists when it comes to recruiting. Quite possibly the stronger opinions right now are the ones that have no stake in the game, like on here. So if Cal is relying on the inside word, he may be getting a few more furphies than normal.

And using his own personal opinion on players, which I think is a tad flawed.
Yeah on here/ draft central, haven’t heard any recruiters him talk up/ twomey bring him up to any recruiters on his podcast or in draft related articles.

It’s a head scratcher.
I think theyll stay on the rookie list for a year then get upgraded. It’s what they’ve done with Budarick, cant you also decide how much a particular rookie gets paid as the contracts are outside the cap?
His info most likely comes from the draft kids themselves. If they say they've had conversations with X or Y club or spoken frequently with Z club then you can sort of work backwards from there. Especially if they're doing extra interviews a day out from the draft, or flat out tell a player 'we will take you with pick 1'.
So far he's only interviewed a handful of kids and they wouldve spoke to a majority of the clubs anyway, so would most of the kids in the top 30-40.
So far, sure - but that may well also feed into a seemingly-strange draft ranking.
If we keep a first round pick, I’d almost guarantee that O’Driscoll (who Dev Robertson says is his best mate) doesn’t get past Brisbane.
Id say that unfortunate photo they always use is the main reason he slips down boards...Wonder what's changed since July other than O'Driscoll played some reasonable WAFL League and tested well at the WA Combine
Tall, athletic and versatile: 25 of the best draft prospects
We take a look at the top group of prospects for this year's NAB AFL Draft
Nathan O'Driscoll
187cm/76kg
17/5/02
Perth/Western Australia
Midfielder
A tough, strong-bodied midfielder who is adept at the stoppages. O'Driscoll played in the championships last year as a bottom-ager for Western Australia and was an All-Australian at under-16s level. O'Driscoll's contested ball-winning ability is his drawcard – he averaged 25 disposals for Perth's colts side last year – but he has also been used off half-back with impact.
