I would not be surprised whatsoever if you've just nailed the top 8

 

[Moeydw]

Just curious, do you have Brander at 6 because you rate him highly or is it more of a needs-based pick?

I rate him very highly could play both ends at AFL level which is a bonus.
Reminds me a little of Cale Hooker can be used as ultimate swing-man

good effort - only thing i note is that Richmond wont take Naish at 25. they will only take him inside the 25 if someone nominates him. if they dont, he goes to RFC with a later pick.
in that situation, i expect them to take Stoddart at 25.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

No way we take Garner, especially with Murphy and Richards still available.

I think they may get a bid from North at 23 meaning Richmond would need to match with 25 that why i have Naish there.

Have no doubt that if a bid doesn't come before then he will go with tigers last live pick

Murphy and Richards would be stretching it a little bit at the dogs 2nd pick (16) IMO see Richards as a Bolter but still think hes somewhere in the 20-40 range
Murphy is a difficult one Could go anywhere from Gold Coast (19) to Carlton (30)

At end of 2016 i had Garner as a top 10 selection in the draft given he didn't have the greatest 2017 think he would be a great selection for the dogs.

Always value peoples opinions though

Agree to disagree. For the record I reckon both Murphy and Richards go top 20, Garner 30+. IMO a lot of recruiters (and especially Dalrymple) put a lot of importance on recent form and the way players form is trending. Murphy/Richards have shown a lot of improvement whereas Garner has shown the opposite. I think draft day will reflect this.

I'd be willing to bet my left nut Murphy goes top 20

 

[mattyc75]

[SumTingWong]

No balta?

 

[Son_Of_God29]

No balta?

I knew i forgot someone would think he may go somewhere between 8-15

Think i might have to edit the picks in that range

 

[Lions Lions]

Am pretty confident Cam Rayner goes number 1 and I'm hearing no Ballendon bid is likely until the 20's.

 

[Lions Lions]

Liam Ryan is a freak he'll go top30 after being overlooked last year. Has Eddie Betts type qualities and has become a professional athlete.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

I'd be surprised if Carlton grabbed Clavarino at 30. Miers and Worpel still on the board are a better fit IMO

edit - Young tall defenders at Carlton = Weitering, Marchbank, Plowman, Macreadie, Glass-McCasker(r)

 

[David the Cat]

No Coleman-Jones in top 37 mate? I wondered if the Cats might be interested....

 

[PMBangers]

I hope we don't go, Stoddart or Petty. I think we'll go a ruckman (Coleman-Jones or Crossley) and another small forward if we do get Higgins at 11.

 

[sydney eagle]

Constable, Ling, Petrucelle and Worpel for the Eagles. That looks okay to me.

Clubs will bid on Naish, they wont allow the Premiers to draft a top 15 player with pick 40 something.

Eagles or Cats would be fools not to bid with a pick in the early 20s because they know the Tigers will match and pay 25. Cats and Eagles have picks after 25 so why gift the Tigers a crack at a player they want.

 

[Obeanie1]

Not when in this Phantom they could have gone Hunter Clark at 13 and Fogarty at 21.

I do like Kelly at 32 and Worpel at 37.

Oops I failed to notice that they had missed Clark. I think that , if he gets as far as the Eagles first pick they should take him. He looks like just the sort oof player that they need .

 

[MotleyLemon]

Be over the moon if the Cats got Miers at 35.

 

[Midnite65]

Naughton will go before 19

 

[6yearsold]

constable and Kelly... that's the closest anyone has come yet in my opinion.

those that have us taking Obrien and murphy with our first are delirious.
