Who should we choose with our first draft pick?

[Jobba]

From Callum Twomey's live chat this arvo:Reading between the lines, it looks like Twomey thinks:

1. GWS - Boyd
2. GWS - Kelly
3. St K - Billings
4. WB - Aish
5. GC - Kade Kolodjashnij
6. Coll - Scharenberg
7. Bris - McCarthy
8. North - McDonald (F/S)
9. Melb - Freedman
10. Coll - Lennon
11. WCE - Sheed
12. Rich - Salem

If Lennon slipped to 12 then we'd consider him as he trained with us and we were very impressed.

That would mean Bontempelli would slip down to us... Would we pick him over Salem?

Tsim Bookie is what we want

[Diocletian]

Acres comfortably still the one for me. Would be touted as top 5 if he hadn't been injured. Would still take him even if Scharenberg slid.

That would be great but I could live with it if Brisbane picked him at 7 and stuffed up Collingwood's plans to get him at 10.
I think that would work out nicely for us if Brisbane went Lennon, it should mean one of the A graders is still left for us.

tigs2011 any chance at all scharenberg could slip to us?

sheesh one could only hope. absolutely love this kid.reckon he will go top 3 at the latest.

Yes. Best chance is Pies take Salem though. They're probably our biggest threat. It's hard to gauge though because with all the clubs who are rumoured to be interested in players ie. WC with Sheed, you have no idea if they would still go Sheed over Scharenberg because it seemed so unlikely he'd be there. I think it's 50/50 atm that he's there.

another question - sorry mate but you seem really knowledgeable about the draftees. Who would you prefer out of scharenberg and Salem?

[Diocletian]

Word is we'll take Lennon if he's still there. I really hope he isn't. If I hear his name called out before our pick I'll cheer as loud as I will if we call out Acres' name.

Then knowing us we'll probably pick Crouch instead.

Where you get your word from ?

 A reliable real life source. Said it's between him & Acres if Salem's not there with Lennon favoured on the back of him training with us last year. Also said we would take Scharenberg even if Salem was there but we're not even entertaining thoughts of him sliding.

There's also still some heated debate within the club about taking a chance on Garlett at 50, with a possible compromise of taking him at 68 if he's still there however there are still key people dead set against taking him at all - not even with a rookie pick.

Essendon or Hawthorn will take him before we have a chance.

salem. He's a gem. Though it's close. I rate Salem 5th and Scharenberg 7th

[bojangles17]

Saw about 5 seconds of sharenburg, he won't slip past top 5 , bugger me we d be unstoppable with him on the list
