We'll have to use the system I used last year for that macca .

 

[LukeHodge15]

Just wanna say guys, BRILLIANT WORK.

Been a great group of blokes assembled to provide a lot of good infomation to the masses out there.

Cheers again.

I know im sad, but its a little over 12 hours and all will be revealed

yeh, but it will be harder this year given we're doing the rookie draft after the national draft.

So will we base our picks on how our national draft went (as per last year), or would we have to modify it to base it on the actual national draft?

Do it with what's available post draft I reckon.

yeh agree with that. Will be interesting to see what happens with the mature-age rookies.

Richmond with #84 select - Rhys Magin

Bottom ager out of Queensland. We had a lot of success with putting Raines into our development system for 2 years and would be looking for similar results for Magin who is a classy, light and raw outside player with good skills and athlecism.

 

[Lingsface]

ill leave it at that.

The problem with is that unless your a professional recruiter you don't have access to the same kind of information and psychological assessments that top recruiter have in hand. Collard and Conners getting selected early in this draft may seem like glaring errors but without knowing the kid personally how are they supposed to know that they have attitude problems? Clayton Collard was a pretty talented footballer after all.

True They did not Lack Talent, It was upstairs where they lacked

 

[Silvagnis]

Not mine mate, i was agonising over a few, Austin included as the dees need KPD depth, however in the end i thought Benjamin was too good to pass on at #30.

Gilly, can I put this in my signature?

Considering the other quote of yours he is using, changing it might not be a bad idea?

That is completely fabricated, words and context have been removed

 

[year of the cat]

If Diablo has gone to bed can I take the pick? - if yes, we will take Joel Selwood for 2 simple reasons -

1. Geelong needs to build a solid group of on field leaders if it is going to move forward and Selwood is possibly the best of this draft

2. We need a strong clearance player - despite popular opinion the majority of our midfielders are outside players

Should join the Geelong recruiting team with this little gem......

 

[krisholio14]

My biggest mistake of the phantom draft was my point blank refusal to consider Joel Selwood.

 

[whelan=legend]

85 - Stefan Martin

Very, very smart man

Bet they wish they got Martin at 85 now!

 

[whelan=legend]

Melbourne Selection #12 – Shane Edwards (Nth Adelaide) 179cm, 76kg

Melbourne has no glaring weaknesses on their list

LOL!

Back in the days, eh?

Some pressure on this years PD then Gilly.

# 10 (Collingwood) - Tom HISLOP

Slight shock I am sure and certainly very tough decision to let Sellar slip but ultimately what swung me was the clubs view that they are rebuilding the mids. Very happy to get both Hislop and Proud as I believe we now have two midfielders with a combo of grunt, passion, pace. With Egan, Thomas, Didak, Pendlebury, H.Shaw, Swan playing outside these the Pies have completed what they set out to do with trading Tarrant. tazz was not traded for another tall - he was traded to get us two of the best mids IMO,

Hislop is your classic inside mid. Terrific height of 184cm and already reasonably developed. Loves to tackle and thrives on the hard stuff. MM style of player 2. Think of Lenny Hayes.

Pies fans will be split on this one!

Geez Hislop and Proud SnoopDog. Thankgod we got the two KPP's instead
