2007 NAB Draft

[WilliamPowell]

I reckon it would worth punting on Selwood (at pick 19) - simply because he is a Selwood and the younger ones seem to be better than the twins

that is around where I got him locked in, his leg injury would also probably push him down the order.

IMO he has the potential to be somewhere between adam and joel in quality therefore a very solid consistent performer

If Selwood falls to our second pick I'll be a happy boy. I've just got a feeling that his surname will push him up much higher in the draft than if he were named Joe Smith. With his 3 older brothers making it in the big time and him classed as somewhere between the twins and Joel in quality, he'll come across to AFL clubs as almost a guaranteed AFL footballer barring injury.

without a doubt that pedigree is hard to ignore. And as you said his name by itself would make recruiters take more notice of him. But IMHO is not worth a top tenner, looks like becoming a daniel cross/harris type mid. A type of player you need for that midfield grunt but not a player to throw a top pick at. Either him or Vezpremi at 18-20 would make me very very happy, we need more hardness in our team

That plus a tall with the other pick straight after and we will have done well IMO.

Carlton are making out they would consider trading their first pick for an established player.

agree.....if selwood is still available at our 2nd pick....i'd take him and a big man straight after.....Tom collier/tayte pears would be good.....selwood's hardness is still something that we need more of....and...u can never have too many quality mids....in a few years, our more senior mids woulkd have departed (johnson, tivendale) etc so it's good to have picked up selwood and cotchin in this draft....both tiger supporters too....which is a bonus...

[bluey_21]

still hoping rance can slip but colliier or pears would be handy acquisitions. Also keep an eye on Dawson Simpson, I realy like this kid, fantastic height for a ruckman and his rate of improvement has been astronomical this year

Cotchin was BOG today and Veszpremi kicked 8 goals in the Northern Knights' 53 point win over Gippsland in the TAC Cup Qualifying Final.

One more win for the Knights and we'll be able to watch him on tv early on Grand Final day.

Reported on SEN that Matt Kreuzer won the 2007 Morrish Medal and the Coaches Award. Adrian Totino was runner-up in the Morrish.

C: Hall (Gippsland)          Polkinghorne (Calder)   Arrowsmith (Calder)
HF: S.Simpson (Dandy)   McEvoy (Murray)           Otten (Oakleigh)

Due to private school commitments Cotchin didn't play many TAC Cup games (yet starred when he did). So that's why he's not in the team.

You're right bluey. They only show the TAC Cup GF on Fox now  . I'm still thinking of the days when the U19s, ressies and seniors were all shown live on Free To Air  .
