Pretty funny reading about FJ gathering all this data.
A point I've made before about picking JON over Hurn is the rejection of relevant data.

In 2005 even as a part-timer one would have thought you'd particularly take note: Hurn - AIS, SA (capt), AA, 2 SANFL premierships. v JON - WA.
In 2006 there's Connors who before drafting had been involved in a drunken assault resulting in a brain-damaged person.
In 2007, after delisting Peterson for a poor attitude and drink problems, we recruit Collard after he is delisted by Port for the same reasons.
Add to those the recruiting of known failures like Morton, Sylvester, Cartledge and Howat not to mention McMahon.
In 2008 we double down with Hislop, Thomson and Cousins while ignoring Rockliff who was the goal-kicking midfield gun the first three were presented as.
In 2009 we continue by taking the troubled Taylor, Farmer and Nason. We continue to ignore known data by taking Webberley (a small HBF who won the Tassie B&F) over Barlow who was named in the VFL team of the Year twice, came second in the Liston and won the best under 23yo. We complete our picks by taking the known long-shots of Roberts, Westhoff and Polak.
In 2010 we take MacDonald, Gourdis (again), Jakobi, Miller and Hislop. The only surprise was that Miller was better than expected.

In all these cases the information was known. It could be found by any interested person with an internet connection. It was ignored.
It does not matter how much or how good your data is if you continue to ignore it.
Of course the most important rule when it comes to any data is the old one - "Garbage in, garbage out".

Webberley didn't even win the Tassie medal. ;D

Brett Anderson of Inside Football mentions some whispers between our first and 2nd round picks.  It might give us a bit of a clue as to who will still be available at 32 & 34.


A few more #AFLDraft whispers:
Hawks have an interest in Liam McBean at pick 29, Matthew Dick is on Cats radar & the Dees like Sean Gregory.

Suns will have an interesting choice at pick 13. It will be between Aidan Corr, Jesse Lonergan and Josh Simpson. Corr is my tip.

Pies like Garner, Stringer, Simpson, O'Brien, Clurey. No link with Garlett as far as I know.

[Stringer] Its looking likely that he may be the Blues pick [#11].

Will definitely be some very very solid players to take at 32 and 34 if McBean, Dick, Gregory and Corr are all taken prior to 30. Makes me think that Kennedy/Hrovat/Colquhuon could slip down the order . . . wishful thinking I suppose?

I asked Brett about picks 32 and 34 and he just replied "Nathan Wright could be pick 32 they also like Rory Atkins."

Seems to be a few fans of both here on OER.

Yep MT Atkins sure looks the goods and well worth a later pick.

Good stuff. Wright and Atkins would be good pick ups. I think they'll both make good footballers. Can you get back on and ask him about pick 43.  ;D

Brett also said Vlastuin at 9 is our man so we are looking at Vlastuin, Wright, Atkins and one other.

thats a very good overall post and very relevant to what has happened. the interesting bit above  is jackson doesnt even acknowledge he had a role in 2005.
i know for a fact in 2005 pick 8 came down to varcoe or jon. miller wanted varcoe but we went with jackson and  jon on draft day.

Correct. Greg Miller probably gave him the info though so we can forgive him.  :lol

Brett Anderson on SEN tonight mentioned some interest from us in Aidan Corr in recent days.
