Chris25 is it reaching to take cam giles with our 1st rounder. I rate him very highly and feel like his potential is as good as anyone's in the draft HOWEVER things like these say 30-50
http://www.scpaige.com.au/draftees-in-focus-cameron-giles/#more-5859
He's clearly not ready yet, but neither are the midfielders that should be available at our pick and in 2/3 years i feel like he would be a perfect Johnson or even Mcpharlin replacement.
Also im guessing a bit here but being from SA less likely to get homesick, as most homesick boys are from VIC.

I don't pay much attention to that website when it comes to non-Victorian players. It's just paraphrasing other people and basing everything off just a few games in the U18 Championships.
But, as big a fan as I am, I would say Cameron Giles in the first round is a reach. Assuming Cameron McCarthy is off the board, we could potentially have the likes of Darcy Gardiner and Jonathon Marsh available. Otherwise, there should actually be quite a few good and AFL ready midfielders - Dunstan, Dumont, Crouch, Hartung for example. I mentioned George Hewett as a possible second round pick to be that Viv replacement, and Dunstan would be a similar case again.
I'm becoming more intrigued by a Darcy Gardiner/Cameron Conlon combination though. With Gumbleton and Taberner, I feel like we could afford to take the risk with the hugely talented Conlon even if he needs a couple of years - and I highly doubt anyone else would draft him that early. While we'd get a very solid defender in Gardiner, and one who I think would already be ahead of Silvagni.

i dont know much about Gardiner to be honest mate, however the fact that he's likely ahead of silvagni sounds promising, the thing to me is POTENTIAL. DO you rekon he's got what it takes to be one of the best defenders in the competition, Silvgani's ver good back-up so moving him down the order for somebody who could end up like Dawson doesn't sound like the best option for me as then he'll likely leave. Need somebody with POTENTIAL to be premier defender in comp. and silvagni can cover us for now if need be or if this guys better atm and has potential even better.
If Acres is available I think we should pick him with our First pick.
Chris, is it true there are a lot of talented talls coming through in next years draft? If so wouldn't we be best off going best available like we have for the last 5 years with our first rounder rather than a speculative pick on a tall if McCarthy is gone?

Not sure why... but I reckon the Eagles will pick up Acres.
BTW... Anyone know more about Hugh Beasley. AFL website said:
"... He had the better of expected No.1 pick Tom Boyd early in the season and thrives on one-on-one battles. He's strong in the air and having run a sub-three second 20m sprint he's got the acceleration to stick with any leading forward."

If this is the case my wife and her girlfriends should nominate for next year's draft

IMHO there are three first round KP tall's Boyd, McCarthy & Gardiner if one is available we should select him. Marsh or Acres would be next best available for first round, Giles would be an excellent selection for our second round pick but I think he will also be gone by then. In a perfect world it would be McCarthy with our 1st round pick & Giles with our 2nd round pick. But I would settle for Marsh & Giles.

Just wondering why Hourigan seems to have fallen off the radar a bit? Can't find anything but positives about his U18's carnival as well as his year at Sth Adelaide. Would be nice if he got passed over and we got ourselves another power forward gem as a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Beasley posted a blistering 2.88 20 m sprint for a 192 90kg bloke. Super competitive and hates being beaten. A couple years in the gym and he will become a monster as well, already has big legs and a big arse to match it with the likes of boyd etc. Hopefully gets picked up, but if not, someone should definitelysteal him with a rookie
Yeah watched his highlights the other night. Looks like a very composed player. Wouldn't mind getting him over as a rookie and having a look at how he goes on some of the Gorrilas in the AFL.
Phantom draft on Super footy has us taking this guy. Not sure about this, bit too much like Neale. The Wildcard may interest you all though.

Explosive ball-winner has the makings of Brent Harvey, combining toughness and pace at ground level. Short stature a turn-off for some but pinpoint skills and gut-run has helped him to dominate junior level.

JONATHON MARSH

Marsh is lightning quick for a big man and can follow up at ground level and turn like Lance Franklin. But he's a project. The Dockers wouldn't mind a big man — could they reach early and pounce at 17?

Yeah Lewis Taylor wouldn't fit the bill with the players that we have drafted over the last 3 years but you never know. We have such a big midfield that we could afford to go for a small mid. Saying that though I would much prefer a taller option.

Would prefer to steer clear of a 173cm midfielder. That is serious midget territory there. There's always short people compared to Boomer, but the reality is they are very unlikely to get anywhere near that level.
The problem with these types of things is that they don't consult bigfooty enough.
In all seriousness, you have to wonder what they were thinking when they said Lewis Taylor. He is just too short. We historically take the first round big unless they are fast. And even then they can be pushed to round 2 (Balla).
So Acres is still available and we go for the midget midfielder...rightio then
I'd say a 173 midfielder would probably still be available at our second pick no matter how good he is.

Some of the phantom drafts I've seen have us taking three midfielders. This is a dangerous time for fans, getting their hopes up and hearts set on players, getting used to the idea of their club taking particular players that when the club goes down another direction it causes the sort of reaction and offense that comes from a bad breakup, regardless of the merits of the selection.
