His nickname is 'tigga'. An omen?

I reckon its a good sign.

We may land the fourth or fifth best player in the draft pool if.lucky.

Could someone develop a list of names from Phantom Drafts that have us selecting a player at Pick 9 etc ...

Here's a start. It's a lottery:-

9. Troy Menzel - Richmond- http://www.thisisafl.com/forums/f33/2012-axel-mock-draft-17508/

9. Taylor Garner - Richmond - http://www.footballnation.com.au/latest-news/the-football-nation-2012-afl-mock-draft/

9. Jackson Macrae - Richmond - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2012-big-footy-phantom-draft.979727/

9. Nick Vlastuin - Richmond - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/dingles-mock-draft-2-rounds.979356/

9. Jake Stringer - Richmond - http://www.footytragic.com/blog/2012-phantom-draft/4345/

9. Lachie  Plowman - Richmond - http://www.supercoachhq.com/14/post/2012/09/tac-cup-future-stars-phantom-draft.html

I've got a feeling we will end up with Mayes or Stringer.

if there's any truth to what i have read about stringers attitude then i doubt we will take him.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I think it was TFLUA who said he's not a very high character kid and someone else mentioned he yells abuse at his teammates.

Quote
Yeah, he is a bad character. He is selfish in a way that he wants all the glory, even if there is a teammate who is a better option. He also abuses teammates and has a bad attitude. I wouldn't knock his ability though, he is a very good footballer and he would be considered a top 3 pick without the leg problems.

If he came here doing that poo then he'd get told to pull his head in pretty quickly. Riewoldt might even bring his finger point out of semi retirement. Sounds like Mitch Thorpe. Biggest idiot in footy that guy

If he abuses Cotch in that fashion he will be struck down by lightening from the heavens.

 A lot of the concerns club's can have with drafting a ruckman inside the top 10 don't apply to Grundy given his advanced physical development. He still has a large upside and it wouldn't surprise to see him taken inside the top five with the Giants a good fit.

No surprise, but if Wines isn't snagged by GWS with picks 1-3, he'll be taken at pick 4 by the Demons (pending they still have that pick, of course).

AFL ditches top-10 draft countdown .... (Age)

AFL ditches top-10 draft countdown

The AFL has ditched their top-10 countdown for revealing clubs' national draft choices.

For the past three years, the first 10 draft picks in the league's biggest annual recruiting meeting have been conducted behind closed doors then revealed in reverse order.

But for the November 22 draft on the Gold Coast, picks will be announced in their correct sequence.

The countdown method was designed to add a sense of drama to the event.

But there was little suspense last year, given AFL newcomers Greater Western Sydney had eight of the first 10 picks, including the top five.

And the eventual No.1 pick, Jonathon Patton, had been widely forecast before the draft.

The Giants have the opening three picks in this year's draft, having been handed the top choice as wooden spooners this year and traded recruiting concessions for the next two selections.

They are expected to take Victorian midfielder Lachie Whitfield at No.1.

If it was from "Big Footy" as you call it, why quote posts from it, in fact why even read it?

Commonsense prevails. Everyone knows each year nowdays who is going at pick 1 so there was no point to doing a countdown.
