Geez there are some decent kids in this draft.
Im warming to Draper at 1 but boy id give my right arm to get say pick 6 and 9. 6 would go on one of Smillie or Lalor depending which one is still there then id use pick 9 on the badly needed kpf in Armstrong.
So we get a classy inside out small mid and then we get a quality bull at 6. Round out the top 10 picks with a kpf.
This draft is stacked. I can't see how we don't get Picks 6, 9 and 10 for Shai and Daniel. Possibly even Pick 15 from GC as well. Id offer to pay wages to get these picks done.
Pick 1, 6, 9, 10, 15, 19.
Insane hand in a strong draft.
Id try to ensure 1 of those teen selections is either Armstrong or Whitlock. Best key forwards of draft. Pick 10 they def will be there. Pick 15 maybe 1 buy unlikely both. So id take one with pick 10.
Picks 1, 6 and 9.
We could possibly have all 3 Metro boys in Jagga, Smillie and Reid. Incredible get.
My phantom draft
1. Ashcroft (Lions)
2. Smith (Tigers)
3. Trainor (Roos - no defenders so he goes earlier than expected)
4. O'Sullivan (Eagles. Gun. Could go 1 and then Smith goes to Eagles. My worry for WCE is 2 absolute star Victorians on their list. They'd be nervous about that. They could downgrade their pick and get Bo Allen as the best WA kid at low teens)
5. Draper (Crows like WCE always pick best local boys)
6. Langford/Smillie (Dees - With Petrecca and Oliver on ropes there is no way they pass either of these two boys up. Combine may determine. But Larke medalist Langford would be hard to pass up but Smillie was touter as pick 1 all year).
7. Smillie/Langford (Tigers - Id be hoping for Smillie personally but if he goes earlier Langford should be their. Reid and Lalor would be perfect too).
8. Lalor (Saints have been big on him. Won't get passed 7)
9. Allen/Reid (Dons who knows who these idiots pick. I hope they pass on Reid and he gets to us at 9. We'd be laughing if he gets to 10. Allen (Tigers - Could one day trade him for FOS or Harley Reid lol, he id love Murphy Reid to slide. We may look to read rip to get him. He's way better than Allen)
11. Armstrong (Tigers Best fwd in draft)
