Hi. I'm confused. Where is GWS' pick 2, and why does Brisbane have two picks in te top four?
Am I missing something?

Hm. Would have preferred someone like Graham or Long at 41.

Also, 68 is likely not to be used due to the likelihood of picking up Green and Richards as DFA

And why the **** would we want another key defender? (Himmelberg @ 47), AND ANOTHER medium sized forward? (Lach Tiziani @ 66)

awesome picks for the lions JP, Ainsworth, Berry, Gallucci and Witherden fit our needs. the only player i would prefer going around that range would be Simpkin for Gallucci, if Berry was gone at 16 i would be happy to take Simpkin there as well.

I see most of our medium forwards transitioning into midfielders tbf.

That was my thinking, and you have a genuine swingman as well with Himmelberg

I can understand that but Ben Long would be really good as well haha.

We have other areas of importance to get right before adding depth to an already brimming area on our list.

Who would you take at that point instead? Darcy Cameron would be the only one IMO

Hi, I was looking at the AFL draftcentral October draft and it appears to be missing one of Freo's picks: Fremantle should have picks 7, 35, 40 and 71, but the summary only gives picks for 8, 39 and 69.

I ask, because I saw your name as one of the contributors to what was otherwise a very interesting phantom.

35 turned into 39, and maybe 40 (turned into 43) was missed out of the summary but it was picked. That was Sam Walker that one, and yeh 71 turned into 69.

Cameron i see as a rookie pick and could find great value in a few other kids in the very same range of the rookie draft, which i believe most of the fringe national talls will end up this year.

Ok that makes sense. Walker was placed in the Geelong draftees section.
Enjoyed that phantom draft, and your mock draft too. Thanks for your efforts.

MOCK DRAFT - ROUNDS 1 - 7 (14/11)
​

Updated with proper list sizes for picks, which has now pushed out to 7 rounds!

 

[master bate]

Melbourne only have 2 live picks with the promotion of Josh Wagner so no 5th round selection.

Love the choices of Lipinski and Dundon though. They'd probably be who'd I'd go for if others were picked as chosen.

Thanks, been talks around Lipinski to Melbourne and i really like Judah Dundon and think the Dees need some more class in the midfield to surround their bull inside guns.

for now it's 3 until its confirmed for now im just filling primary lists to 40 players, unless im missing someone here?

I'm worried Lipinski will be gone, too much upside despite the limited exposure. How do you see both of those guys pace? I'd love more pace as well but I think the super quick guys will be gone by the 50's. So it's either class or speed, not really both.

You're just missing 1 guy on that primary list. Handy player, just won the B+F, wears number 7.

Sorry to be pedantic but whilst you're at it Jack Trengove is 25 not 29 if you want to update your records.

That's cool I asked the question for it to be answered I felt like I had missed someone out thanks [emoji106][emoji106]

Hi PoulterBear. Thanks for the updated Mock Draft.
Not many changes since Friday, but can you explain the ones you have made, particularly the rearrangement of the top 4, Florent, Cedric Cox,Battle and Hinge dropping, while Brennan Cox, Witherden and Morrison rising up the ranks?

 

[crows dude]

Crows need mids and mids. You have us picking 3 defenders and only 1 mid and 2 forwards.

leaning towards McGrath Pick 1 now whcih pushes McCluggage down to 3. Personal issues pushes Florent back, keeping him in Melbourne. Cedric Cox just falls due to team needs and is a perfect fit for Geelong, same with Josh Battle and Richmond. Hinge falls because i completely forget Morrison tbh, and the other players ahead of Hinge i rate higher. Brennan Cox rises and fits a need for St Kilda, Witherden is a talent and i probably think he'll go inside the first round.

Melbourne will only use 2 National Draft spots.

Most clubs wont use their full allotment though-geelong has up to 7 picks but will probably only take 5 and have 2 extra rookies.
