The 2010 Draft "Late Mail" thread.

[Flawed Genius]

I would be cut if we took Lycett. Don't need him, way down on our list of needs.

Won't happen, IMO. GR is taking the piss for mine.

Just passing on what I have heard. It will be academic if Port call out his name at #16.

 

[Postman_Pav]

• Gold Coast to take Swallow at 1
• WC to take either Gaff or Polec at 4
• Gold Coast to take one of Prestia/Caddy
• North to take Lycett at 17 to cover Hales' departure
• Richmond to take Conca if still there for their 2nd pick
• Dan Nicholson to St Kilda at pick 24 (saw him at The Elms with Ross Lyon on Monday)
• Richmond to pass on their last pick

No way on earth Conca lasts to Tigers second pick. Freo at 20 absolute latest, more likely to go at 6 than second round

 

[Barnzy]

• Gold Coast to take Swallow at 1
• WC to take either Gaff or Polec at 4

Really going out on a limb there.

• Richmond to pass on their last pick

Care to elaborate?

Our last pick will be 63 which will fill our last list spot.

 

[NiceCunnington]

Great work as usual GR. Thanks for the inside info, buddy.

Houli in PSD.

 

[Barnzy]

Houli in PSD.

Even accounting for Houli in the PSD and Gourdis upgrade we still need to replace 5 senior spots hence our last pick is 63.

 

[Lach72]

Matt Little of Williamstown to Fremantle, lock it in Eddie! Don't know which pick unfortunately but he'll be there next year.

Rookie hopefully

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If Richmond want Conca...they won't be using pick 30!

I would be rapt if Freo got Lycett, 202cm and moves like a rover. He should still be adjusting to his tall frame, I can't understand the lack of love.

I think there is a bit of obsession about mids at the moment I will not be surprised to see Gorringe, Lynch and Lycett all gone by pick 10 tomorrow.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I'm not saying he's not a good player. North simply doesn't need another ruckman.

Picking Lycett would be mind-boggling.

Point taken, but neither do Freo after securing Griffen. This guy was playing on the ball and as a rebounding half back at times in the carnival and seemed to get a good share of the footy, anyway I digress.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Reece Conca for me is the most interesting pick in this draft.

4 clubs are very big fans:

Richmond
Port Adelaide i think he will end up there.
Fremantle he is certain to go to if they get a shot at him.
Sydney

A lot of people seem to underate him, he will step into senior footy with ease, has amazing awareness never gets caught.

Will be a chance to win the rising star next year.

 

[Prem87]

Any chance for us at 4 then?

 

[Wee Jessies]

If you say your prayers you might get Bennell. I wonder if GC would have gone for this:

Pick 3, 45 and Krakouer for Picks 4, 26 and 28. Eagles could have got Bennell who could be a flight risk for GC and landed Kraks and GC could have nabbed two more picks inside 30 for the cost of downgrading pick 3 to pick 4.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Will be a chance to win the rising star next year.

David Swallow in a canter!

 

[shiraz]

North to take Lycett at 17 to cover Hales' departure

Definitely deserves a stern look!

 

[The Falcon Strike]

David Swallow in a canter!

Josh Toy??

Emma Quayle all over him - reckons he might have gone Number 1 if he was available.

Regardless - you'd think the player would come from GC

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You would always take the midfielder when talking about the Rising Star

 

[DrTomSwift]

You would always take the midfielder when talking about the Rising Star

Especially the goal kicking midfielder with elite skills, pace, a big body and a year in an AFL system.

For my betting friends, can I bet on him this early or do I have to wait for odds to be released?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If you can..take th 5bucks and run...he'll be $1.20 to win it after 6 rounds!

Woah, big calls those two

Seems we have already picked Conca:

Not necessarily.

We still have players that have been in the system for a year or two that haven't yet got to 10 games.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a Rohan, Lucas, Moore, Roughead, Stanley, Shuey, Tapscott etc. take it out.

The thing with GC though is that'll largely be forced to play the young straight away, giving them better overall exposure.
