thats just what i rekcon... i havent seen any of those blokes play in the flesh.. just going on the game that i saw.. i just think that Ben is a tough player who would fit in well.....
would like to have Fergus Watts but Bill i hear is about the same height.. & Fergus you owuld thin k might go higher coz he did play in teh carnival... it was unfortunate for Billy that he did hurt himself & that may see him slip down a few spots from where i hear he really should be picked....

Fergus Watts will be taken in the top 10, if not top 12. I'm guessing around pick 9.
Also, I can't see us getting Ben.

After reading various sources, Billy Morrison is not worth pick 18 or a pick in the top 20. He will be a worth a pick in the 20's or 30's so if we get him, we should wait for a later pick because he will be available still. I'll be surprised if he's picked up before pick 30.
With that said I hope that we do get him but I hope we don't get him with our first pick.

Pity we can't keep local players, such as Copeland.Its shocking that he has not been re-signed, and looks likely to be delisted.What message does that send to local Quuensland boys who want to play AFL.He played a damn good grand final, and this is the thnaks he gets.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Logan was an early choice for the Lions.

Well the Big Footy Phantom Draft was interesting. I was Brisbane's representative and this is a summary of how I approached the draft.
Decided to go for a tall first - thinking of a post Lynch Brisbane. Even though I didn't think I was going to get him Fergus Watts was the original target, but as I expected he was taken at eight. I then shifted my attention to Bill Morrison, but he was taken at 14 by Adelaide. When Pick 18 came the two candidates were Llane Spaanderman and Matthew Spencer from WA. After umming and ahhing for a while and studying their profiles, I narrowly went for Spaanderman. At 199 cm and 100 kg aged 17, he might be just the ready made replacement for Lynch we need. Spencer would have been handy as well and maybe I should have selected him, but Spaanderman will be good.
The next type of player on the shopping list was a tall defender or medium type defender-runner. Jay Nash was the original target but went one pick before ours at 23. Michael Pettigrew was instead taken, as a possible replacement for Shane Morrison and back-up replacement for Leppitsch.
Having secured two tall players, the thought was now to secure some medium type forwards or defenders, mainly to replace players the likes of Ashcroft and Gram. Tom Logan and Jake Furfaro were the main candidates. I would have taken Logan at #33, had he been available, but he went at #30. Furfaro, who I would have drafted at #46 if I had secured Logan was instead selected at #33.
Paul Richardson, a 183 cm half back flanker-on baller was selected at #46. Hard at the ball, good skills, he was quite a bargain at that pick in my opinion. Good replacement for Ashcroft. Brad Symes was also considered, but he went beforehand at #42.
Josh Bartel a tall 191 cm wingman, who kicks the ball a mile was chosen next at #61. Saw him as as a Martin Pike/Tim Notting type of player and perhaps their eventual replacement.
One pick left. #68. Nothing to lose. Most good young players gone. Why not. Shane Harvey from Essendon. And yes, I do understand about the salary cap. In his favor he's a ready made replacement for Craig McRae/Damian Cupido. If Copeland is delisted and goes to Richmond, we'll pick up another young player in the pre-season draft.
Luke Herrington would probably be my pick if this was the case.
Leigh Ryswyk would be my first rookie listed player.

Re: But you have no idea...
Maybe it's you are a Victorian ********?
I never said i didn't rate Farren, I said Kepler needs alot of work to physically be up to it. Farren IS the best WA player this year, so don't twist words.
Surjan should have been drafted, that I am absolutely certain of. If you are in the know as you suggest, then you would have known that.
