[Blinger]

See how big Hampson is
Grimes has really Bulked up
Ellis broke Judds record around the tan
Lids lifted the most weights
Conca slept with Megan gale and the baby is a Ranger

Is the baby a texas or park ranger.

 

[RichoLedio]

Is the baby a texas or park ranger.

I'll be praying for a texas ranger named Walker, imagine having one of those in the team

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

I heard we are off Lennon and Macartney and are onto Vander and Young

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Then what do we have to do all summer? Watch us be humiliated in the Ashes??

Mcbean watch/countdown will keep us entertained throughout the summer.

 

[juss]

I've seen Jones play and he's good, but he's a pretty safe low risk, less reward pick. Will be a good player but I'd like us to be a bit more daring.

3 days to go, then we shall have peace

then it'll be best 22 threads......

 

[BeefTaco]

personally i believe it will be Bontempelli will be the player that slides out of the top 10 this year

1.Boyd
2.Kelly
3.Billings
4.Aish
5.KK
6.Scharenberg
7.McCarthy
8.Malcom Blight
9.Lennon
10.Salem
11.Sheed
12.Acres
13.Freeman
14.Bontempelli
15.Dunstan
16.Taylor
17.Gardiner
18.Jones

i wouldnt be surprised if you're right about botempelli, i dont rate him that high. but I'd take freeman over acres now, i really do like acre, but i think the doubts on freeman's game, choco and the development squad could fix up and turn him into an elite player. replaces the speed of matty white which became so important to us second half of the year as well

I reckon we should give peace a chance.

16. Geelong - Zac Jones
17. Fremantle - Blake Acres
18. St Kilda - Matt Crouch
19. St Kilda - Billy Hartung

And hopefully I get bored enough I won't feel the need to check here every five minutes, I think I have a serious proboem

 

[captain cotch 9]

Where do people think Alan Christensens bro will go?
I got talking to a lady at the footy last year who ended up being their Mum and she said the Jnr Christiansen is more tallanted than Alan

Geelong will get him unless someone else gets in before them.

Hrm I think I'd like me some Christensen

Who do you think is going to have a break out year next year Jonesy?

 

[Wally Matera]

Exactly 3 days out from draft night and this is how I think the top 20 will pan out:
4. Western Bulldogs - Marcus Bontempelli

Just cant see that happening. Reckon he wont be in the top 14. He's the kind of draftee that could easily be Aaron Fiona reincarnated.

As for our pick my order of preference is:
1. Matt Scharenberg
2. Christian Salem
3. Ben Lennon
4. Dom Sheed
5. Blake Acres
6. Dayle Garlett
7. Lewis Taylor

[TheAnt]

1. Trent Dumont
2. Nathan Freeman
3. Matt Scharenberg
4. Christian Salem
5. Ben Lennon
6. Zac Jones
7. Dom Sheed

Scharenberg won't slide to us but if he did and we didn't take him then we would have to consider putting Francis Jackson into a psychiatric hospital.


1. Salem
2. Sheed
3. Acres
4. Lennon
5. Dumont
6. Jones
7. Dunstan

 

[UpTheGuts]

Is Sheed a bit Tom Swift?

Whatever. I'd rather he went before us, than pass on him

 

[_RT_]

Scharenberg won't slide to us but if he did and we didn't take him then we would have to consider putting Francis Jackson into a psychiatric hospital.


1. Salem
2. Sheed
3. Acres
4. Lennon
5. Dumont
6. Jones
7. Dunstan

No-one thought that Grundy would slide to 18 last year after being spoken about as a top 3 pick most of the year. I know that they are different types of players but it just suggests to me that anything is possible of draft night. Especially when you consider that Scharenberg has the feet problems as well as concerns over whether he'll make the step into the midfield.

Possible, but I have heard whispers that the Dogs are fans of his given what he can offer them.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Where would Vlas fit in if he was in this years group?

 

[Wally Matera]

If Jon Patton was available in this draft, with the knee reco, what would his value be in terms of this years draft crop?

 

[JR82]

Who do you think is going to have a break out year next year Jonesy?

lol, oh dear....
don't know but i do know that Griffiths, Batchelor & Elton need to

Doggies would have to take the gamble.

If Collingwood pick up both Scharenberg AND Aish, I will seriously rage.
