Pick your National Draft Selections

[smiddaz123]

#30- Luke Ball
#62- Simon Buckley
#75- Justin Bollenhagen
#85- Jack Weston

Pretty much stole Burgan's

 

[Quicky]

I'll try to go a bit different (kind of anyway):

Pick 30: Luke Ball
Pick 62: Ayden Kennedy
Pick 75: Jack Weston
Pick 82: Claye Beams

 

[iGNITER]

If it were up to me-

Pick #30 - Luke Ball
Pick #62 - Michael Barlow
Pick #75 - Jesse Smith
Pick #82 - Myles Sewell

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

#30- Ball
#62- Buckley
#75- Temel
#85- Beams

 

[Hells K1tch3n]

Ill take a shot...

Pick 30 - Luke Ball

Pick 62 - Seret Temel

Pick 75 - Simon Buckley

Pick 85 - Claye Beams

 

[Invigoration]

30: Ball
62: Barlow
75: Sumner
85: Beams

 

[The Dawes]

30. Troy Taylor
62. Jack Weston
75. Simon Buckley
85. Chris Irving

Have absolutely no idea who Irving is, but Burgan's put him in as a smokey for our final pick.

 

[danielnajdek]

30. Josh Thomas
62. Alex Carey
75. Kyle Hartigan
85. Claye Beams

That's based on who Burgan has not put in his Phantom Draft at all and who I would love the pies to get

 

[knightwheelrqr]

(Based on Burgan's draft)

30 Luke Ball (If unavailable as Burgan said Taylor/ Thomas)
62 Jason Tutt (Went at 63 in Burgan's draft, personally rate Tutt higher than Buckley)
78 Kyle Hartigan (KPD who didn't get a mention, expressed an interest in adding another and would be surprised if we didn't add one, Hartigan to me is best availabe)
92 Alex Carey (Inside mid who is top 60 quality, surprised he didn't get a mention either, but would be another great midfield addition)

Would also consider: Serhat Temel and Myles Sewell.

 

[popathon]

I agree with a lot of that.
I think the key to remember is the Pies are drafting for needs - MM / EM want a premiership.
I think Beams is a chance but I could see Harris going last if we miss on Ball - frankly would very ok if it played that way.
My mail is that the earliest Temel will go is 45+ when the Dees, Bullies etc come in for their last selection. I think if anyone went earlier it will be the Tigers but he has polarised recruiters with his poor testing.
Also agree on Sewell - wonder if he is in the mix for us at 30 if we miss Ball.

Snoop, if both Ball and Bartlett are available who would you prefer? Personally i'd prefer Bartlett as i think his speed and kicking is more important to us.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

If we pick up Sumner, his nickname has to be Sting.

 

[Old Spice]

I had a dream the other night - things are getting sad - that we got Ball at 30 and Thorp with our last pick. Doubt that will happen and don't know enough about all the prospects this year, just putting it out there.

EDIT: think we had Thomas in there as well which shows the dreamy nature of my dream

 

[Optimax]

Supposedly throp has had a recurrence of stress fractures in his foot.

Which could be why burgan doesnt think he will be drafted

 

[Zahki]

#30 - Luke Ball/Josh Thomas/Troy Taylor

#62 - Serhat Temel/Myles Sewell

#75 - Clay Beams

With Pick 30 we either get Ball, who will be a real asset, or Thomas or Taylor. Of those two I think I'd prefer Taylor, more forward options would be nice but I wouldn't be disappointed with either.

Pick 62 used on a project player, either Temel who could turn into a decent, if one dimensional, forward, or Sewell who might be an ok midfielder

75 to be used on Beams because hey, why not. Weak draft and at pick 75 you're not going to be getting any superstars, why not take a punt on him.

 

[TradeDraft]

If we pick up Sumner, his nickname has to be Sting.

Why is that Sampler?

Though I think Sumner would be gone by pick #75

 

[danielnajdek]

I had a weird dream last night that Danny Stanley was playing for our VFL team. Not sure what it means but if it happens you heard it first from me.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Why is that Sampler?

Though I think Sumner would be gone by pick #75

Sting's real name is Gordon Sumner.

 

[Snoop Dog]

Snoop, if both Ball and Bartlett are available who would you prefer? Personally i'd prefer Bartlett as i think his speed and kicking is more important to us.

i am a vote for Bartlett pal.

yeah interesting exercise isnt it.
at each pick who would you go for.

Rd 1 - Agree but personally v happy with the other two as well.
Rd 2 - Agree again but I would have probably taken Temel (he had Panos at 60 - 2 more spots and ours!)
Rd 3 - Definately agree
Rd 4 - Take that absolutely

Interesting that Hutchings, Hooper, Carey all missed out. I over rate these types every year. Carey def deserves to go for mine.

Re: My Thoughts on Pick 30

I think we have 3 Players we will take at Pick 30 and I would be suprised if there any Others.


Luke Ball - Wants to be a Magpie but Our 1st Pick might be too late in the Draft.

Troy Taylor - Linked with Him Very Heavily This Week, Is a High Risk High Reward Pick because of his Off Field Problems
but has Massice Upside to his game. Could Easily Fall to 30 because of his Off-Field Problems and His poor Draft Camp goes against Him

Josh Thomas - Been Linked with him nearly all year. Friends with Beams, Who even talked him out of staying with the GC Side. Also Heard he has Trained at Lexus Center. Inside Mid with Good Skills and Pace.

2 out 3 is Good
