Throw a blanket over Sheed, Salem, Freeman & Crouch. Be happy with any of those at our first pick.
After that, two of Garlett, Hartung, Impey would be good.
Hope we snag Apeness too. This year's McBean - hidden gem overshadowed by his forward partner & underrated due to an exaggerated minor issue. (with McBean it was Daniher & his frame, with Apeness it's Boyd & just came back from rugby union, allegedly no tank.)

There is a rumor flying around the Collingwood will receive pick 11 as compensation for Daisy Thomas.
This will knock us back yo pick 12 and IMO would be a BULLZHIT!!!

:facepalm surely this is rubbish
Has he even played over the last 2 seasons?? :lol stuff collingwanks
-
1st rounder as compensation for thomas is fair
-
No worries real fair. Give me a break.
Buddy end of round 1 compo is fair also?
The whole system is flawed. Should be fair compo or none at all
What a crock
-
1st rounder as compensation for thomas is fair
End of first round no hassle but the pick straight after the one you gave is crap!!!
Opens up a whole new can of worms with tanking.
-
BS, Thomas is one of their elite players and was offered 700k x 4, which IS taken into consideration regarding compensation
-

What a crock
Buddy is a 1st rounder right after hawthorns first pick which is the most compo you can get - it just happened to come at the end of the first round bc the hawks won the flag.
-
BS, Thomas is one of their elite players and was offered 700k x 4, which IS taken into consideration regarding compensation
How about the fact that he's only played 18 games in the last two years??
More fool Carlton for taking the risk in offering him so much!! Why should we be penalized for there dippoo recruiting??

bc Hawks wanted him too and were offering not much less which proves his value to the blokes at the AFL that determine the compensation level.

Sheesh!! Back me up hear man! Just a little ;D
-
;D don't get me wrong Im rapt the blues took him for so much!
-
Also, Hopefully pies use that pick for Adams(if we don't get him) and then GWS will use that pick for needs rather best available so we still get our target in the draft
-
Sheed or Salem?
-
Rumour going around that we might be into an SANFL player by the name of Nathan Gordon. Mid/HFF 188cm, 23 years old, was on the Swans list between 2010-2012. Thinking we might be looking to make a Michael Barlow out of him.

Adelaide's view of the draft this year is that it contains six to 10 standouts, an even amount of talent for the next 20-odd players but drops off after that.
It is a position shared by the majority of clubs, which view the 30-mark as a clear drop in value.

Agree. Drafts can only truly be judged in hindsight. Either way I'll take unproven kids and good state-leaguers over proven duds & list-cloggers every day of the week whether they're pick 8 or pick 80.

One of the draft followers on SEN said the top 12 this year are quality but those picks around the 30s and beyond are really a "duck shoot". Most clubs want to be out of the draft by pick 40.

If we do end up with him, lets just hope we don't start putting names on jumpers. ;D
-
One of the draft followers on SEN said the top 12 this year are quality but those picks around the 30s and beyond are really a "duck shoot". Most clubs want to be out of the draft by pick 40.
So going by that we will only use Pick 12.

NO ::)
All clubs must use 3 picks in the Nat draft, we will using our 3 picks
What the caller was saying was that the top dozen picks are top quality, later on in the draft it's going to be the luck of the draw and that of most clubs if they had a choice they'd be out of the draft by pick 40 but they don't have that choice
-
cant you use one of those picks for a rookie upgrade?
-
If WP SAYS its a tradition its a tradition
Don't you olebs understand :banghead
.btw
12 -mid
50- garlwtt
7o - Mitch thorp?
-
weve been left in a pretty poor draft position. gotta hope we get a good player at 12 and probably take 2 VFL types with the last two picks for depth. We could end up with zero from this trade and draft period if the number 12 pick doesnt work out.
-
and if angus doesnt work out
-
cant you use one of those picks for a rookie upgrade?
Yes you can, al.
Having said that I don't think we'll be doing it.
------------------------------------------
By Oct 31, we'll have 4 spots on our senior list to fill:
In: Hampson
Out: Tuck (ret.), White (f.a.), McGuane, Derickx, Nahas
Presumably, Petterd will be promoted off the rookie list which will leave 3 spots to be filled via the National Draft - 12, 50 & 68.

November 21st

Leave on rookie list thank you.

is anyone keen to put up a group of players they would like at each pick who should realistically be there when that pick happens.
im happy to start the ball rolling. as we had pick 32 im going to include it.
the club has stated our first pick is going on a mid so i will stick with mids at 12.
12
mathew scharenburg 190/89 utility. most have him going top 3 and i wasnt going to mention him but if by some chance he does slip he is the player i most want.
blake acres, 188cm/84kg mid. would take him him if we had pick 5.
ben lennon 187/79 have been tossing up between him and sheed as my 3rd choice really like both. toss the coin.
dom sheed 183/82 this kid can really play its just that i think the first 3 have more upside atm.
marcus bontempelli 192/83 sort of come from the clouds again upside for me i can just see him play when hes 192/and 92kg. could well end up a very versatile player for us.
ah the traded pick dont mind trading it but wish we had got back into the draft some how near this pick. anyway if we had kept it id be looking at bolstering our tall stocks here.
32
cameron giles 195/95 kpd
darcy hourigan 191/92 kpf
darcy cameron 203/98 ruckman
tom vandeleur 191/89 def
mitchell harveey 195/97 kpf.
okay seeing as we are taking a mid at 12 theres a good chance we will look at a tall at pick 50 our actual second pick. so i will mix it up a bit.if dayle garlett is still there its here i would take him.
50
dayle garlett 181/77 mid
darcy cameron 203/98 ruck. some are saying the ruckmen will go late even the better ones so heres hoping.
nick robertson188/83 mid.
alex spencer 193/83 kpd
cameron conlon 198/97 kpf. this bloke is interesting looked like he could be anything till he did his knee.
with 64 i would be looking more at mature age recruits but theres a couple of small kids who may still be about who i would look at. kids first.
64
ben sokol 183/87 mid /for
nathan drummond 181/82 mid
dwayne wilson 178/75 mid/for
rory lobb 205/98 ruck 20 yo
mitch thorpe 194/94 25yo kpp
dave mirra, shane nelson, chris cain, mathew sully.
anyway i reckon thats realistic with a player from each pick being available when we have our turn.
-
I'd be tempted to look at Dan McStay.
Quality person with a thirst to learn.
:thumbsup

@Claw
I like all the guys you have first except Bonts. I like Dunstan and Salem there too.
32. I'm happy with Hampson there. The only ones I'll be annoyed if they're there are Templeton and Impey.
50. Bourke/Conlon/Karpany
68. I like Sokol as well. Hewett from SA another.
Wilson is looking like being gone before 32 from what I've heard. Otherwise I like him at pick 50.
-
Acres & Garlett would be a top result. Former a real chance, latter next to none though.
Fill needs with State Leaguers like Shane Nelson. Hell, even Willie Wheeler would be an upgrade on Nahas.
More dual-sided players too please.
Surprises me that for a club that supposedly worships at the altar of the "moneyball" fad we don't look at proven performers who constantly get overlooked on the basis of non-skills related things like being "too short" or having an allegedly dangerous hobby with later picks. Far less risky than the "good player but injury-prone" philosophy that, IMO, translates poorly from Baseball to Australian Rules.
-
Good chance garlett will be around by our 2nd pick, I reckon
Then iagain I reckon there is a good chance we'd overlook him
-

Could go anywhere from round one to the rookie draft but there's next to no chance we'll take him.

Draft experts Jay Clark and Sam Landsberger give their thoughts ahead of the AFL national draft
Sam Landsberger, Jay Clark
From: Herald Sun
October 27, 2013 7:30PM
How good is the draft?
Recruiters wanting run-and-carry midfielders would be licking their chops at the top 20. There's plenty of pocket rockets at the top end who confidently tuck the ball under their arm and use it well, such as Kelly, Billings, Hartung and Taylor. But it's light on for genuine key position players, leaving clubs looking to next year to nab one of the many available big forwards.
Overall, the depth this year is only average, thinning the talent pool after about pick 30. Maybe it will produce 10-15 200-game players.
Will Dayle Garlett get drafted?
Earlier in the year, it was a resounding yes, but clubs remain nervous about drafting the silky midfield-forward from WA. On talent, he might be top-15. A smooth-moving outside runner who has shades of Harley Bennell, kicking almost 50 goals in the WAFL seniors this year.
But defensively he can be poor and many clubs, such as West Coast, have again put a line through his name. In our view, he is worth taking the chance, at a strong club, with a late pick.
There will be lots of busts from this year's draft. His best chance might be at Geelong or Hawthorn.

Only 55-60 live picks expected to be used in this year's draft.
Draft numbers set to fall in shallow pool
Callum Twomey
afl.com.au
October 28, 2013 5:34 PM
THERE is set to be fewer than 50 players from the country's Under-18 competitions join the AFL via next month's draft.
Clubs are expecting a total of approximately 55 live picks at the NAB AFL Draft, with a handful of those likely to be mature-aged players from state level when names are read out at the Gold Coast.
It is unlikely the draft will exceed many more than 60 live selections.
This year's pool is considered strong at the top but most recruiters believe it thins quickly, leaving a majority of clubs to take only the required three live picks.
Up to 14 clubs will go down that path, with Adelaide a club to take only two live selections, while the Brisbane Lions have acquired six selections within the first two rounds.
The total does not include rookie elevations, which are confirmed on draft night.
Clubs will have a greater idea of how many picks will be used on Thursday, when the first list lodgements are due.
The number will also be impacted by the amount of delisted free agents signed before the draft. The first delisted free agency window opens on Friday, November 1.
Last year there was 70 live picks used, and in 2011 there was 75.
While this year's draft does drop away, clubs are also mindful of the talent available at next year's draft, which at this stage looks advanced on the 2013 crop.
Therefore, many clubs are focused on using next year's draft to add more fresh faces to their club, with the expectation of a deeper talent base.

Gysberts just delisted by North. Worth a rookie spot? Have to wonder how a kid who gets 26 possessions on debut - against Geelong no less- and two Rising star nominations in two years, becomes a two-time reject two years later. Apparently just couldn't put on any weight at all - too bad for him he never got drafted by Richmond - he & Shane Edwards could've spotted for each other.

Recruiters expecting 'unpredictable' draft
Callum Twomey
October 29, 2013
ONE OF the most "unpredictable" drafts in recent years is expected next month, with clubs unable to put a line through who will feature in the first 30 picks.
While the first batch of 12-14 selections at the NAB AFL Draft are unlikely to feature any major shocks, many recruiters believe there will be some surprises in the next group as clubs reach for the players they want.
Such is the evenness of the pool from picks 15 to 30, clubs think there will be a group of players in that bracket who some rate as possible first-round selections, and who some wouldn't draft at all.
"It will be very unpredictable from about pick 15 onwards," one recruiter told AFL.com.au.
Another recruiter spoke of a large "variance" in that draft range, meaning the rankings of those players was widely mixed according to each club.
In essence, the group of 'certain' draftees is smaller and the batch of 'possibles' is a lot bigger than most years, making it more difficult for each club to forecast how the cards will fall on draft night at the Gold Coast.
A consistent view is that clubs will start to draft on a needs basis earlier than before, meaning a number of taller prospects could be taken in the 20s and early 30s, even though they may not be the best available player.
This could have a ripple effect, a reason why some clubs believe they will be able to get the player they want if they hold a later pick in the third or early in the fourth round, despite the shallowness of the draft.
Talls pushing into the earlier stages would push back some other midfielders, who at this stage may be more accomplished players.
It has been spoken of regularly throughout the year that it is a midfielders' draft, with the talented smalls outnumbering the talls by some way.
But if clubs need to add a key position type to their list others believe a quality midfielder could be available later than they might have expected.
Four clubs – Greater Western Sydney, the Brisbane Lions, St Kilda and Gold Coast – hold three or more picks inside the top 30.

Phantom Draft: October Edition
by Paige Cardona
scpaige.com.au
October 29, 2013
With the 2013 AFL trade period finally coming to a close, it’s time to re-connect with the latest instalment of my Phantom Draft, the October edition. After months of commentating TAC Cup Games, writing, blogging, interviewing and getting to know a vast majority of these young boys, I can honestly say that for me personally – this draft will go down as my favourite so far.
As all draft punters will tell you, this draft is particularly shallow and it quickly leans out midway through the second round. There is a gulf between the top 10 selections and the next 10, whilst the second round isn’t as highly rated as seasons gone by.
Full phantom draft and profiles here: http://www.scpaige.com.au/phantom-draft-october-edition/
----------------------------------------------------------
Here's her selections for us ...
Pick 12 – RICHMOND
Christian Salem
Club: Sandringham Dragons
D.O.B.: 15.7.1995
Height: 183cm
Weight: 81kg
Although there are plenty of elite ball users in this year’s draft, Salem just about gets the nod here. To use my buzz word “elite” again, Salem – just like Steele Sidebottom – is the type of player who confuses coaches and players, because you just don’t know which is his preferred side, so good he is on both. A supremely gifted athlete, Salem is a brilliant runner and when Salem takes off down a wing with the ball in hand, it is poetry in motion – he is a ripper! Physical, unforgiving – complete with speed and agility – and of course, that highly reliable long raking and penetrating left boot, he is always composed and reliable with the ball in hand. Salem is also a natural tackler, he displays courage and leadership and knows how to finish on goal. The epitome of a damaging footballer, Salem will constantly hurt the opposition and will give the service the quality talls in the Richmond forward line deserve. He’s going to send bullet-like forward-50 entries and kicking goals himself, for many years to come.
Other Prospects: A lot hinges on what Collingwood decide to do with pick 10, ditto that with the Dees at pick nine, however Christian Salem should still be around the mark. Ben Lennon has the potential to slide to pick 11, and there is a possibility that maybe Nathan Freeman could, too. Lewis Taylor may be a potential Tiger with this pick as a plan B.
Profile: http://www.scpaige.com.au/draftees-in-focus-christian-salem/
Pick 50 – RICHMOND
Dwayne Wilson
Club: Sturt
D.O.B.: 17.1.1995
Height: 178cm
Weight: 75kg
A small midfielder who is lightening quick, Wilson is a terrific outside player, and uses his running game and agility to his advantage whenever at all possible. The explosive winger has made the move up the ground this year, after playing predominately as a small forward, it’s in this that his versatility has made him a hot prospect at this year’s draft. Wilson also is a prolific ball accumulator – along with his bag of tricks, he racks up big amounts of the ball, and his distribution by foot is the underpinning reason why he is so highly fancied. An elite kick, brilliant below his knees and clean in the air, Wilson adds serious speed and flexibility and could be the icing on the cake for the young emerging Richmond midfield if he falls this low. Does need to work on his effort over four quarters as he does tend to drift in and out of games quite often.
Profile: http://www.scpaige.com.au/draftees-in-focus-dwayne-wilson/
Pick 68 – RICHMOND
Tom Vandeluer
Club: South Fremantle
D.O.B: 20.03.1995
Height: 191cm
Weight: 90kg
Tom Vandeluer has really come on this season, and is exceptionally well built and offers versatility in defence whilst really stamping himself as a solid rebounding defender with good burst of speed and sound kick rating. Vandeluer has sound awareness and vision in traffic, but more so loves to run and carry. Vandeluer is athletic enough to play through the midfielder when required, yet relishes playing in defence where his intercept marking and ability to play a shutdown role make him a really good third to fourth best defender.

Six AFL clubs interested in 23-year-old Norwood defender Matt Fuller (180cm; 83kg) ...
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-29/fuller-kept-under-wraps
Mentioned him a few weeks ago...ripped it up off the half back in the Grand Final. I hope we are looking at him.
-
But "Hot Prospects" don't go at pick 50. ::) I'm with WP. We've tried small and lightly framed midfielders in the past and failed almost every time.
-
Why you shaking your head? Don't want? Or because he won't be there?
Highlighted it - 75Kgs
At that height he only needs to add 5-8kgs to be able to compete at AFL level for players of his height. His height is more the issue than the weight I reckon. If he was 63kgs or something it would be a problem but at 75kgs his probably capable of getting himself up to at least 80kgs.

Oops was tired and didn't see that. :whistle
Wilson is fine. He's not that skinny. He's already twice as big as Brad Hill.

Confirmed by the RFC website that we will use 3 picks in the upcoming draft - 12, 50 & 68.

Not feeling the love with those picks
Me neither, 50 and 68 are lab experiments not draft picks.
-
The AFL website has put up it's "Draft Machine" with info on all the potential draftees...
http://www.afl.com.au/2013-draft/draft-machine/
-
So Richmond is going to select 3 draftees.
Picks 12, 50, 68.
With Christian Salem my choice at pick 12.
What do we go with, with picks 50 and 68?
Personally I would like a quick midfielder and a genuine goalscoring quick forward.
-
We are a lot better these days with picking the best available
We need to pick up a genuine centre bounce ruckman for the future and use the other one for the best that slips down the order

Phantom Draft: October Edition
by Paige Cardona
scpaige.com.au
October 29, 2013
With the 2013 AFL trade period finally coming to a close, it’s time to re-connect with the latest instalment of my Phantom Draft, the October edition. After months of commentating TAC Cup Games, writing, blogging, interviewing and getting to know a vast majority of these young boys, I can honestly say that for me personally – this draft will go down as my favourite so far.
As all draft punters will tell you, this draft is particularly shallow and it quickly leans out midway through the second round. There is a gulf between the top 10 selections and the next 10, whilst the second round isn’t as highly rated as seasons gone by.
Full phantom draft and profiles here: http://www.scpaige.com.au/phantom-draft-october-edition/
----------------------------------------------------------
Here's his selection for us ...
Pick 12 – RICHMOND
Christian Salem
Club: Sandringham Dragons
D.O.B.: 15.7.1995
Height: 183cm
Weight: 81kg
Although there are plenty of elite ball users in this year’s draft, Salem just about gets the nod here. To use my buzz word “elite” again, Salem – just like Steele Sidebottom – is the type of player who confuses coaches and players, because you just don’t know which is his preferred side, so good he is on both. A supremely gifted athlete, Salem is a brilliant runner and when Salem takes off down a wing with the ball in hand, it is poetry in motion – he is a ripper! Physical, unforgiving – complete with speed and agility – and of course, that highly reliable long raking and penetrating left boot, he is always composed and reliable with the ball in hand. Salem is also a natural tackler, he displays courage and leadership and knows how to finish on goal. The epitome of a damaging footballer, Salem will constantly hurt the opposition and will give the service the quality talls in the Richmond forward line deserve. He’s going to send bullet-like forward-50 entries and kicking goals himself, for many years to come.
Other Prospects: A lot hinges on what Collingwood decide to do with pick 10, ditto that with the Dees at pick nine, however Christian Salem should still be around the mark. Ben Lennon has the potential to slide to pick 11, and there is a possibility that maybe Nathan Freeman could, too. Lewis Taylor may be a potential Tiger with this pick as a plan B.
Profile: http://www.scpaige.com.au/draftees-in-focus-christian-salem/
Pick 50 – RICHMOND
Dwayne Wilson
Club: Sturt
D.O.B.: 17.1.1995
Height: 178cm
Weight: 75kg
A small midfielder who is lightening quick, Wilson is a terrific outside player, and uses his running game and agility to his advantage whenever at all possible. The explosive winger has made the move up the ground this year, after playing predominately as a small forward, it’s in this that his versatility has made him a hot prospect at this year’s draft. Wilson also is a prolific ball accumulator – along with his bag of tricks, he racks up big amounts of the ball, and his distribution by foot is the underpinning reason why he is so highly fancied. An elite kick, brilliant below his knees and clean in the air, Wilson adds serious speed and flexibility and could be the icing on the cake for the young emerging Richmond midfield if he falls this low. Does need to work on his effort over four quarters as he does tend to drift in and out of games quite often.
Profile: http://www.scpaige.com.au/draftees-in-focus-dwayne-wilson/
Pick 68 – RICHMOND
Tom Vandeluer
Club: South Fremantle
D.O.B: 20.03.1995
Height: 191cm
Weight: 90kg
Tom Vandeluer has really come on this season, and is exceptionally well built and offers versatility in defence whilst really stamping himself as a solid rebounding defender with good burst of speed and sound kick rating. Vandeluer has sound awareness and vision in traffic, but more so loves to run and carry. Vandeluer is athletic enough to play through the midfielder when required, yet relishes playing in defence where his intercept marking and ability to play a shutdown role make him a really good third to fourth best defender.

Wth pick 50 I wanna see a goal kicking freak , the kind of prodigy that hasn't had a season in juniors kicking less than 50, that little lightweight reminds me of that flea size rookie we listed a couple of years ago. Whatever his name was ::)
-
I wanna see us use pick 50 on a genuine small tall monster defender midfield forward ruckman rover.

I would take these 3 in a second. Vandeluer is the perfect wingman...tall...fast...can kick.

Callum Twomey from the AFL website says he's expecting just 58 live picks.
He expects the following to be picked up late in the draft:
Small forward with pace - Charlie Cameron
Midsized freakish forward - James Sicily
Inside ballwinner - Will McGuiness
Key defenders - Jake Pitt, Tom Barass
Ruckman - Darcy Cameron, Ben Brown (25-45 range)
-
Nothing from Callum Twomey about who we might be looking at with our late picks:
Comment From Steve - "Hi Cal, what do you think the Tiges will do with picks 50, 68 and onwards? "
Callum Twomey: - "68 will be Richmond's last pick, if they use it. Could be a few roughies picked at that stage!"
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-08/live-chat-draft-preview
-
Stuff the man child Callum Twooney
-
It looks like some clubs are going to reach for need rather than best available at their pick ...
@BrettAndersonIF - "Hearing from a few Port sources they are interested in Jake Kolodjashnij at pick 21. They need a KPP and he interviewed very well. #AFLDraft"
@AFL_CalTwomey - "Rory Lobb likely first pure ruckman taken in the @AFLDraft (Apeness more a forward). Swans interested. Big call at 15 but may be gone by 32."

We have 5 spots left if we want a main list of 40 with 4 rookies. But we will go with the 38 + 6 rookies again so only the 3 picks and Petterd and then pass the other 2.

Why 6? Cheaper?

Cheaper and it also means 6 guys are fighting for 2 spots. Keep 'em hungry. Orren and Darrou will be pushing for it and I'm expecting at least one of this years rookies to be mature aged.
-
also one year contract as opposed to two.
Why do you think it's better to put them on the main list.
-
Callum Twomey in his live chat on the AFL website today:
"Obviously they [Richmond] have a couple of later picks. Maybe Sam Lloyd is a chance with their last selection, if not as a rookie. They are down to Jake King as their main small forward now."
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-19/live-chat-draft-preview
Brett Anderson also says many AFL clubs are interested in Colac's James Linton as a late pick.
-
Sam Lloyd (Frankston, 23, 182cm, 82kg): an excitement package from top to toe: likes nothing better than submitting contenders for mark and goal of the year. Regularly succeeded on both counts. Kicked 38 goals from 17 games (and a century of goals for Deniliquin in 2010) in his first season swimming with the Dolphins.

They're going to do the top 10 first and then have a break before doing picks 11-24.

How many forwards do GWS want?
-
GWS wanted Buddy too :lol
Taylor still there. Just shows if you're too short you'll be sadly overlooked by recruiters even if you star at junior level.
-
How many forwards do GWS want?
They must be planning to trade one or two next year ....
-
They just collecting anything good so no one else can use them against them now, jackasses.
-
2nd round
21. Port - Impey
22. Bris- Gardiner
23. Adel - Crouch
24. Haw - Hartung ....... no Garlett
-
Feel for whoever essendope select. Will be like recieving a prison sentence.
-
So GWS has Patton, Cameron, Boyd and McCarthy.
One of them should be up for trade next year. Likely Patton?
-
Feel for whoever essendope select. Will be like recieving a prison sentence.
No

Security for Patton if his ACL goes again or if it's affected his agility?
-
36. Geel - Jansen
37. Freo - Pearce
38. Haw - Garlett ..... and there it is!
-
The Hawks obviously didn't care about Garlett missing interviews.
-
39. Carl - Cameron Giles
40. Melb - Jay Kennedy-Harris
41. Geel - Jake Kolodnashnij
42. Dogs - Matt Fuller
43. Eagles - Tom Barass
-
Unless he was sure of going to Hawks all along.
-
Jonathon Marsh was supposed going to go early has he been taken yet?
-
The Hawks obviously didn't care about Garlett missing interviews.
Their Buddy-minding experience gives them a leg-up in the player management stakes

That's some top (draft)-quality backup. Either that or they play four talls. Cameron kinda plays like a mid sometimes.
Interesting to see how some of my phantom draft targets are going.
After McCarthy I was going to pick:
Cripps
Clothier
Owen
Harvey
Robertson
Jansen
I see a couple have been picked already but I'd love it if Harvey, Clothier or Owen was available at pick 50.
-
Anyone catch the wig on Ben Brown? :lol
-
44. Syd - Aliir Aliir
45. Port - Mitchell Harvey
46. Adel - Riley Knight
47. North - Ben Brown
48. GWS - Pass
49. Eagles - Dylan Main
50. Rich - Nathan Gordon
51. Carl - Nick Holman
52. Port - Darcy Byrne-Jones
53. Syd - Pass
54. Geel - rookie elevation
-
55. Ess - Orazio Fantasia
56. Haw - James Sicily
End of round 3.
Only about 6 live picks left.
-
Jonathon Marsh was supposed going to go early has he been taken yet?
Doesn't look like it
-
4th Round
57. Melb - Jayden Hunt
58. Freo - Brady Grey
59. Haw - rookie elevation
60. Dogs - Mitch Honeychurch
61. Eagles - rookie elevation
62. Bris - academy selection
63. Geel - rookie elevatoon
64. Ess - rookie elevation
65. Coll - Tom Langdon
-
66. Rich - Sam Lloyd
67. Carl - Pass
68. Port - Karl Amon
That's all the live picks. All rookie upgrades from now to pick 97.
-
Gotta say its a poor look all clubs sponsored by BLK/KooGa (Bris & bulldogs) are in the new gear, we are wearing this seasons stuff
Struth, WRS are only down the road form the draft surely they could have decked us out in our new gear :rollin
-
Petterd to Sydney? Typo?
-
That's all folks!
Yep the AFL website has the wrong club graphic Andyy. Petterd is our rookie upgrade.
-
yeah was kinda wondering wtf that was about, how does Sydney upgrade Pettard to their list?
-
Surprised that the likes of Clothier, Owen, Nathan Scott etc didn't get a look
-
What do people think of Carlton's first selection ?
-
What do people think of Carlton's first selection ?
Why are you so obsessed with other clubs? WGAF..............

Well he was my second pick for the phantom draft but I missed out. Big bodied mid. His footage looked good when I was researching. Looked like a big line-breaker but apparently didn't perform at the combine.
Can't argue with his numbers though.

Wouldn't touch
-
GWS, St Kilda and Collingwood did really well IMHO, Brisbane did ok as well.
-
Freeman is a gun Melbourne. You have to take him! ;D
wow yeah hes a real dud.
-
Pies absolutely smashed it.
Brisbane did well, Robertson, taylor and Aish will add to their midfield stocks and depth. Saints too
-
Back to the footy discussion and topic ppl!
-
no complaints from me. we gave a couple state league players a go with latish picks. ive been asking we do that sort of thing for awhile now.
my only gripe is i think there was a super talent available in marsh and i would have liked us to use either 50 or 66?? on him.
12/ lennon was not one of my picks but hes highly rated by most. acres or dunstan for me.
50/ would have liked to take jonathon marsh or james sicily here. i think there was a few here who have shown enough and had enough talent to use this pick on.
66??/ geez marsh was still there and so was cameron darcy. cant work out what went wrong with marsh. all i can think of is he must have interviewed very poorly. with basically the last pick in the draft collingwood imo potentiallly got the biggest steal of it.
the thing i would have liked us to do is not promote petterd and use the extra pick on what imo are some talented kids still available.
the other thing i ask and question is would lloyd and gordon have still been available even later or as rookie picks. id say the odds are good they would have been.
i worry that we have added just one 18 yr old. would have thought at least two picks could have gone to youth. im now hoping we address that with a few 18yr olds in the rookie draft.
it seems in many ways they are locked and loaded to borrow a frawleyism.
finally good luck to all three recruits i really hope the state leaguers do well in particular and open peoples eyes to how valuable players from these leagues can be.
so for me straight after the draft i would have gone
12 acres
50 marsh
66 darcy cameron
80 ish gordon and not promoted petterd.
rookie lloyd.
i think the last two is where we should have taken them or tried to.

no complaints from me. we gave a couple state league players a go with latish picks. ive been asking we do that sort of thing for awhile now.
my only gripe is i think there was a super talent available in marsh and i would have liked us to use either 50 or 66?? on him.
12/ lennon was not one of my picks but hes highly rated by most. acres or dunstan for me.
50/ would have liked to take jonathon marsh or james sicily here. i think there was a few here who have shown enough and had enough talent to use this pick on.
66??/ geez marsh was still there and so was cameron darcy. cant work out what went wrong with marsh. all i can think of is he must have interviewed very poorly. with basically the last pick in the draft collingwood imo potentiallly got the biggest steal of it.
the thing i would have liked us to do is not promote petterd and use the extra pick on what imo are some talented kids still available.
the other thing i ask and question is would lloyd and gordon have still been available even later or as rookie picks. id say the odds are good they would have been.
i worry that we have added just one 18 yr old. would have thought at least two picks could have gone to youth. im now hoping we address that with a few 18yr olds in the rookie draft.
it seems in many ways they are locked and loaded to borrow a frawleyism.
finally good luck to all three recruits i really hope the state leaguers do well in particular and open peoples eyes to how valuable players from these leagues can be.
so for me straight after the draft i would have gone
12 acres
50 marsh

Agree with all of this. Disappointed we overlooked Acres but won't hurt us as he only went to St.Kilda, happy enough with Lennon - as close as to Acres in terms skill set that was in the draft Can't believe we've done nothing to address our pace issues that need urgent attention even before White left and overlooking Byrne-Jones and Marsh was staggering.
Jackson still NFI when it comes to late picks.

Here you say 'no complaints from me' but in the other thread you say our ND 'left a lot to be desired' and that you were 'certain we could have done better'.
You happy or not, bra?

Marsh just on his athletic ability should have been taken at 50. He has enormous upside and Collingwood will make him a player IMHO.

Hello Dan Connors

There have been rumours that Mitch Thorp had knocked back VFL contracts before the draft last week, in the belief that he would be drafted. Sam Landsberger continues to believe that he will not be offered a rookie spot on Wednesday, either.

Why not take the VFL offer just in case. :lol

And he's been telling everyone he's not an egotistical tosspot anymore. :lol
