Might be fun to have a stab at who we will draft Saturday, heres my (fairly optimistic) guesses:

Round 1. #10 Matthew Bate
Round 2. #23 Ben Eckermann
Round 3. #39 Travis Cloke
Round 4. #55 Ryan Bain
Round 5. #66 Pass

Winner gets an all expenses not paid day at the footy with Hoggy.
 
No way Bain lasts until #55.

My picks:

#10: Danny Meyer
#23: Andrew McQualter
#39: Travis Cloke (I know, going out on a limb here...)
#55: Danyle Pearce

I was told that the Pies would use 23 on Bain if he were to still be around.....not a bad outside player. Just thinking. He'd be 19 when the season starts, do u think the pies would take a risk with a 19 year ld when they could pick up at 17 year old who has achieved the same as Bain???

Can someone please tell me about Pierce? Never heard of him. :?

I'm pretty sure he's aboriginal, so I'm assuming he's got pace and class.

Hopefully we stack up on pace with picks 10, 23 and 55 seeing as we've got Trav wrapped up.

Only thing I know is that he topped just about everything at the draft camp. (Although BK did pretty well there too I believe ;) )
 
Danyle Pearce broke the 20m sprint record, and had the top vertical leap IIRC, whilst performing really well in the beep and agility tests.

He's an athletic freak, the knock on him being his size, he's really lightly built. Worth a shot though, I'd love to get him at #55.

Doesn't sound that bad to me. Why would he be supposed to go so late (55).

Once again, as I said in my post, he's incredibly skinny, and he's got a thin frame as well, so his scope for putting on weight is not good.

He'd go so late for the same reason that Aaron Davey went undrafted.

just what we need, aonther player with a thin frame.



we need someone with abit of grunt, who's not scared of abit of contact and is willing to exhert some physical presence on the field. thats why molloy was so needed.

We dont need another fatassed wombat at the club, we are trying as hard as we can to get rid of them all, why would we replace them with more lard?

We need to go for a quick small outside athlete, or a tall running flanker/forward/midfielder. Best available as long as he's not fat.

our main weakness over 2002-2003 was our lag of physical presence. any side that roughed up the game against us would often cause an upset.


hell brisbane annihilated us in a grand final that way..

I'm only having a dip because I wanna hang out wiv Hoggy!

10 - Danny Meyer
23 - Ben Eckerman
39 - Travis Cloke
55 - Eddie Betts

I second those four and would be very happy if we were to get all four. I think it a toss up between Bate and Meyer for pick 10.
