Pick 9 any ideas.

[tony_montana]

whose the better midfield prospect Vlastuin or Wines? Both pretty hard at it and good size.

Have seen bugger all vision of any draftees this year so have nfi

I'm presuming Wines is given he was seen as a potential top 4 pick TM. Like you though I haven't seen enough of these kids this year to judge.


More from Brett Anderson ‏@BrettAndersonIF tonight:

"Not sold yet on Wines to dogs. Could be to Port or even slide to Bris/Rich/Carl "

[Judge Roughneck]

Wines would be sweet.

Or any of the top few expected picks

Sam Landsberger ‏@SamLandsberger twitter:

"A mountain of home-grown talent available, but Port will tonight meet a star Vic kid at his house. Most likely just as a back-up for pick 7. "

Brett Anderson ‏@BrettAndersonIF
"Hundreds of phone calls later, here is how it stands: GWS set to take Whitfield, O'Rourke & Plowman in that order. Dees Toumpas. "

The more talls taken before our pick the better. It'll mean a greater choice of quality mids at 9 although I still have the feeling we're locked into Vlastuin as our man.

Emma Quayle saying she doesn't think the Dogs will pick Menzel so maybe Wines will head to the kennel. Brett Anderson cryptically saying there could be one more surprise. Whispers of Simpson going at 6.

1. Whitfield ..... GWS
2. O'Rourke ..... GWS
3. Plowman ..... GWS
4. Toumpas ..... Melb
5. Wines ......... WB
6. Simpson ...... WB
7. Mayes ......... Port
8. Jaksch ........ Bris
9. Vlastuin ...... Rich
10. Daniher .... Ess
11. Macrae ..... Carl
12. Menzel ..... GWS
13. Corr ......... GC
14. Grundy ..... GWS
15. Garner ...... North
16. Stringer ..... Geel

Dogs I think will take Macrae. Not surprised about Simpson. If a team is patient could get a very very good player. Had him in top 10 for awhile but not totally convinced on his ball-winning. Vlastuin could go to Port leaving us Wines.

I've heard whispers of Port selecting Vlastuin as well but after losing Jacobs I think Port will in the end stick with a home grown South Aussie to avoid any chance of another high draftee heading home to Victoria after a couple of years.

DRAFT NEWS

The Herald Sun can reveal GWS will select devastating outside midfield stars Lachie Whitfield and Jono O'Rourke with its first two picks before calling the name of key defender Lachie Plowman at No.3.

It means Melbourne will land Adelaide's Jimmy Toumpas with pick 4.

Ollie Wines could quite easily be overlooked by the bulldogs who have a surplus of inside midfielders.

The dogs are firming to take Troy Menzel and Jakson MaCrae.

Port Adelaide have all but committed to Brody Grundy whilst Brisbane are still tossing up between Sam Mayes and Kristian Jaksch.

It means that the tigers could land the best inside midfielder of the draft with Wines looking likely to slip to Richmond in a dream result.

I think I have mentioned it before, but word down here in Traralgon is that GWS want Membrey and he has apparently been told that he'll end up there.

Things could change I guess.

Is there any chance of Wines falling to us ???

Membrey will be there with 12 and 14 (I think they are the other 2 first rounds GWS have).

Going by the above posts looks a possibility.

Jaksch seems to be a really quality young tall. At about 195cm and a good weight mid 80's, I think he could be a very good. We really dont have a tall CHF at all. Vickery seems like someone who will play the ruck/fwd role but a true CHF is a real benefit IMHO. I prefer us to go  tall with pick 9 and then take mids at 32, 34 and 43. Jaksch could be a really good pick if Brisbane dont take him.

People seem to have forgot on about Todd Elton. Just because he only played the one game last year doesn't mean he's not going to play more down the track I really rate this kid, he will play across the HF line and float through the Ruck, expect bigger things from him this season . I don't see why we would use pick 9 on a tall in exactly the same mould as one we allready have........

Yeah, he definitely won't go 1, 2 or 3.
