mate u havn't got clue!! mcveigh is being used as more of an attacking player these days with stints on the ball!! mate ive heard it from the horses mouth on essedons indications regarding mcveigh just step down for once all u do is object to ppl

LOL Spike was a specialist back pocket this season. He ran off his opponent through the middle when he could, and at times he played as a tagger on an opposition midfielder. But he wasn't an onballer, or at least, he wasn't for any significant amount of time.

If he's going to be used in a more positive role next season, then so be it, but that has no relevance to the role that he played this season just past.

As for objecting, I object to people I disagree with.

No pozzo. Just seen him play for Epping/Northern/Vic Metro and rate him highly. marcuz is another who shares my opinions.

One of my mates happens to be mates with him but that has no bearing on how I rate him as a player - I've never met the bloke.

yeh my mate used to friends with him at parade, and my cuz played footy with him at epping. but i havent seen him play. u seem to be the only one who rates him highly tho. there are a few that have been brainwashed, but when doing phantom drafts of course ppl will want others opinions.

Well Burgan's PD is in and Dyson is at #28 (how's the irony). Seems highly unlikely he will go top 20. I actually agree he has a huge upside but he won't get picked at 13. Guys like Trotter, Stanton, Spaandermann, Hall, Waters, Burges, and Nash all made the top 20 as I said a few posts ago.

Guys like Morrison, Dyson, Surgen, Moody, Gayfer, Spencer, Johnson, and Steward all slipped, in relation to the BigFooty drafts, according to the footygoss, H/S and AFL website PD's.

Those guys have done some research into what clubs are thinking so i would think they have a better idea of what the go is.

Point taken BigCat but I feel Burgan has made a howler this year. I know this comment could very well come back and bit me on the arse but that is just the opinion I have of it. Last year for example I thought his PD was very good.

We will all see on Saturday I spose.

Certainly will Bozza.

I don't think it will be that far off. It has become clear now that guys like Waters and Trotter will definately go in the top 15 which wasn't picked on here.

It's just great to get a different opinion. All the drafts on here seem to be very similar. Guys like Spaanderman, Stanton, Nash, and Symes have all shot up. We now have about 30 guys who supporters on here will be rapt with if they get them in the top 20.

Can't wait
