2011 Draft thread [merged]

[one-eyed]

Kavanagh established first-round credentials as an under-age player last year, but his lack of exposed form this season has led to some conjecture over just where he sits in the draft rankings now.

There are two schools of thought - either he'll go early as one of the Giants' 11 first-round picks or they'll pass and he'll slide down the order a bit as clubs with only one first-round pick won't be as willing to take a risk.

We have more than one first round pick with picks 15 and 26. Do we take the risk?

[YellowandBlackBlood]

We would be mad not to take him at 15 if he is there. Gun.

Teenager Murray Newman is firming as one of West Coast's targets in the national draft...

One less club out the way before our pick 26.

Or we may take him if they wait for 28

I can't see us going for a KPP with our first pick, but if Elton is best available then so be it...

Docherty at 33??? Yeah right! I'd take him at 26 in a heartbeat.

Willie Wheeler will get drafted, not sure rookie or national but probably rookie.

Good HP sauce.

 

[gerkin greg]

Drafted by us?

Did Rhett Jordan tell you 

[dwaino]

We all knew it and OE the super sleuth will probably have it up in a jiffy anyway, but the draft order is finalised: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/126171/default.aspx

Isn't he a bit small though or is he up to it??

Rhett is a fine young man.

He's the same size as Edwards.......

Do we need another player that size, maybe we should of kept Nason...or is this bloke better at it??

[Coach]

Why keep blokes who aren't up to it?
