The Gerbil Mock Draft

[The Gerbil King]

Sorry guys, can’t be bothered doing full write ups on all draftees. There is nothing more I can add to what has been already been written by wiser heads than myself. Just a few comments here and there.

[coryne]

Why would the Lions use their compo pick but pass on #27 and #31 etc. If they wern't going to use 2nd rd picks then they SURELY would have tried to trade them off ..........

 

[Gibbo_88]

Lol! Brisbane will be using at least 5 picks buddy

 

[Crusha]

Lol! Brisbane will be using at least 5 picks buddy

i.e.
5, 25, 1st Comp, 27 & 31 (plus rookie elevation - Beams).

 

[LeatherPoison]

If the tigers got Gaff,Parker & Lamb i would be sooooooooo happy

Good Job Gerbil

 

[LOZWILDA]

The TIGERS would definitely use their Bock pick if they new they could get that result!! Would be ideal!

 

[_RT_]

Interesting that you say Richmond would like to go tall with their compo pick but take a quality mid that slid, then with the next pick Luke Mitchell is available and you give us another small in Lamb.

 

[Fatcat08]

Definitely no way bris would use two compo picks and not use 27 and 31 that's just ridiculous and would be an insane waste of our compensation picks. Besides bris have 5 senior spots avail. Not sure what u were thinking on this one but happy to listen to the reason.

 

[Blueboys7]

I'm confused...?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I've cooled off on Darling, it's all about Gaff now!

 

[The Gerbil King]

Lol! Brisbane will be using at least 5 picks buddy

Sorry - may have stuffed up Brissies picks

 

[The Gerbil King]

Interesting that you say Richmond would like to go tall with their compo pick but take a quality mid that slid, then with the next pick Luke Mitchell is available and you give us another small in Lamb.

Jed Lamb is a quality pick. Mitchell may have shoulder injury issues. In this age of the midfeilder the Tigers will err on the side of caution.

How on earth could you complain about taking Parker and Lamb with those picks??

 

[Pariah]

You do realise that Adelaide only have two picks(14 + 61) after gaining Sam Jacobs and Richard Tambling and promoting three rookies in Ricky Henderson, Matthew Jaensch and Luke Thompson.
Need info on Savage.

This, and even if Adelaide were to use four, I'd be highly surprised if they took another two KPPs.

 

[Punchy Demons]

That would be a very ordinary draft day for Melbourne.
Another mid - possibly but not a necessity, small fwd - not needed at all, mature aged mid - not likely & not really required as will take game time from all our youngsters, tall defender - not needed.

We need a KPF. We could also do with another ruckman.
We have recruited a heap of young mids the last few years.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If we take Jacobs over Prestia I will spew.
