Norman Ross' Phantom Draft

[sinepari]

If rory sloane beat a number 6 draft pick
why is he pick what ever 60 something
underated player in draft
one of the best kids going around down back and middle
clubs want hard at it backman/midfeilders
and his perfect size to play on half forwards and damging small forward
eg yarran medhurst milne okeefe morton williams
many more
hope he goes to collingwood i really rate this kid and hope he plays alot of senior football

Well from what I've heard, he's widely sought after.

Not good for Hawthorn.

Still the best Mock draft Ive read, though I think you may be wrong on pick 2 and 52 regarding WCE as woosh likes to develope Rucks.
Like Cox, Seaby and Sullivan as well as Sneeden as a NSW ss player I dont see a huge need to draft another Ruckman that early.
I believe WCE will go with Rich and try to bolster their midfield for future losses like Fletcher, Stenglein and Embley.
Woosh has always stated he wants to keep Seaby and maybe another year on the list might change his mind about switching clubs, remember he signed for 3 years so he is ours to control.
Ì think with 52 Richardson would be a stretch if we Walters at 20.
Pearce I see as another Wirrapanda clone and if he is there at 36 you beauty.
I would be stoked to end up with Naita, Swift, Walters, Pearce and Richardson, But Rich, Swift, Walters, Pearce would be perfect with our first 4 picks.

You either don't watch much WAFL, or you don't watch Wirra closely enough

They're not similar [aside from being backman and even then, very different styles of defending]

Surely playing in the backline is enough to be similar. I've also heard in the off season that Pearce has been working on his tan. Surely you can see how they're the same.

Norman last year I thought Yarran would end up in the midfield but was less convinced of this this year. Not only conditioning but his ground work was not as clean in the middle as up forward. Do you know what effect his injury early in the year had on his midfield work? He obviously lost some condition but was it the case that it was decided that he had lost too much condition and the effort was put into working on his forward skills rather than midfield ones?

I think he likes kicking goals more than setting them up IMO.

You need those type of players, guys that back themselves in.

Not good for Hawthorn.

Why?

You cant really aim too high given the nature of the draft order.

I've noticed Shuey as a third rounder in some mocks and in others he's not picked at all I must be watching a different game.

No I wasn't watching a different game. Luke Shuey taken at pick 18 but in this mock not at all, just a shocking call.
