Cockatoo is nothing like Tambling.
He is a big unit who will only get bigger.  The guy will be huge with a couple of preasons. He could possibly be the next Dangerfield.

Not like Tambling as a player but can see his career taking a similar trajectory if we use pick 12 on him. Would take him later for his pace & size but that's about it, has too many deficiencies to justify using a first round pick on. He'd likely be moved around everywhere trying to find his best spot just like The Witness was. Jack of all trades, master of none. There's a reason you shouldn't use first round picks on div. 2 players.

Significant? Not at all. Slight? Maybe on Newman and Thomas

You reckon grigg is a slightly less good player than Scilly?

doesn't matter who they pick coz it wont make any difference to the overall results the team gets. We will finish between 7th and 12th in 2015.

Scully is crap. There is not much difference between he and Grigg.

Taking money and status aside you are a 100% correct Big Willy, Scully stinks it up bad

He is small, soft and he has average skills

I reckon Greenwood, Winders and Armitage are better and Thomas and Grigg are not far behind.  Agree to disagree though I guess.

Given the evenness of this year's pool, we have extended the third Phantom Form Guide of the season from 20 players to 25.

3. Isaac Heeney .... (Swans' NSW Academy)
4. Angus Brayshaw
5. Peter Wright
6. Darcy Moore ..... (Collingwood F/S)

This why we should at least be trading back into the draft. Would love to get one of Garlett, Langford or Goddard with a second Top 20 pick.

Career to date I believe Grigg has been better, ever so slightly. Now if Scully even applied himself in the slightest he'd put Grigg to shame but alas they are both nothing players

I just asked Brett Anderson if he's heard any whispers on whom we're interested in with out first pick and he replied "Laverde/Ahern/Cockatoo/Weller. Laverde first, but will be well gone." He also reckons Laverde or Marchbank will go around Carlton's pick 7.

So it looks like it will be out of Ahern, Cockatoo or Weller.
