Lennon freeman Salem plus those guys that will go really high.

Who are the back up options, if you know?

Lennon freeman Salem plus those guys that will go really high.

Is this about right?


1 - Boyd (GWS)
2 - Kelly (GWS)
3 - Aish (Saints)
4 - Scharenberg (WB)
5 - KK (GC)
6 - Lennon (Collingwood)
7 - Billings (Lions)
8 - McDonald (North)
9 - Freeman (Melbourne)
10 - Sheed (WC)
11 - Salem (Collingwood)
12 - ????

 

[Calcium Man]

Top 10 looks like (not exact order):

1. Boyd
2. Sharenburg
3. Kelly
4. KK
5. Billings
6. Sheed
7. McDonald
8. Lennon
9. Freeman
10. Taylor

Have included Taylor instead of Aish as it has been rumoured that Collingwood are big fans, though things may have changed.

Aish will not slide out of the top 10 surely

9 - Freeman (Melbourne)
10 - Sheed (WC)
11 - Salem (Collingwood)

If collingwood make that trade then: Boyd, Kelly, billings, KK, scharenberg, freeman to start.
Lions want Lennon but Aish would tempt them. North have McDonald then not sure on Melbourne. Then Sheed and Aish at 11 if brissy pass. Pretty Aish won't go to Melbourne.

 

[Tigswithrigs]

very curious about melbournes pick, have no incling bout which way they're gonna go

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Its out of Aish and Billings to drop in my opinion, which it is now rumoured that clubs have gone cold on Aish and appears likely he will drop if that is indeed true. So at this stage the only clubs I can see taking Aish past pick 5 are West Coast though Sheed being the local boy, may win out. Brisbane but after Polec they may not to pick another SA boy, though in fairness it come down to how well Aish interviews. And Collingwood who seem to really want Freeman, Taylor and Salem, though now it looks like Aish will drop I suspect we will hear of their interest in him.

Once trade week finishes and pick are set in stone it will be much easier to gage where players are likely to go and especially as we get closer to the draft but as of right now I can see Aish dropping. It is a rather unique draft as their are a lot of players who don't look like they will be stars but do look like they will 200+ game players, and basically it will come down to needs and personal preference.

I'm hoping we don't get salem, he just lacks that something extra

I want one of the taller players, either Acres or Bontempelli appeal to me.
I can see Acres as our own Nat Fyfe and a real weapon in the future

I hope bulldogs do pick KK before scharenberg but surely they couldn't?? I forgot that Saints are right into billings. Collingwood want both Lennon and Freeman but i think they'll have to settle for one, any chance of McCarthy? They really do lack a KPF after cloke. Sheed to WC looks a given so its about what Brissy and Melbourne do but it would be bloody funny if we ended up with Aish this years Grundy.

Still leaves Acres

 

[Toadvine]

Still leaves Acres

Why do you keep winking about Acres?

 

[Calcium Man]

Why do you keep winking about Acres?

Cos thats who i want, but if Aish slides would be happy too.

 

[Calcium Man]

according to callum twomey GWS are interested in Bontompelli

[Dragonss]

Dream come true if we get Aish. I wouldn't even care if we lost our second rounder. However, knowing my luck it'll never come true. Still clinging onto Acres.

 

[RichoLedio]

If Aish is there will we take him? Surely we will

 

[wormy]

Doubt Aish will get to us, cos I reckon someone like Brisbane will take him.

But just imagine the class of cotchin and aish running around in the same midfield
Boy oh boy woweeee

 

[THE_GUN]

Aish - Its a dream , wont happen

1.Aish
2.Freeman
3.Acres

 

[Rubber Hips]

Slim pickings by then
Let's hope Crouch is still available then at least

remember feeling that way about Ellis and to an extent Flossy last year

 

[wormy]

remember feeling that way about Ellis and to an extent Flossy last year

yeah me to, but with Conca, Ellis and Vlastuin the last few years I just feel like we need to add another dimension. Either way I wouldn't be complaining

 

[Hipster Doofus]

I would be extremely happy if we added yet another Conca, Vlastuin or Ellis with pick 12, they are with every game improving our club and are and will be a big reason for the continual rise of the side

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Back on the Dunstan wagon. IMO is similar to Ryan O'Keefe.

 

[TiggerMan22]

I would be extremely happy if we added yet another Conca, Vlastuin or Ellis with pick 12, they are with every game improving our club and are and will be a big reason for the continual rise of the side

But we already have enough solid players. Need the type of player that can turn a game.
