Bastinac and Cowan are really helping there cause with some of these results.

Emma Quayle on Dustin Martin:

Personally I think he's the third best, but it'll pan out in the next month or so. Morabio, Butcher, Cunnington all possibles

And Kane Lucas.  Anyone know much about him?

Q. Has there been any talk about John Butcher's kicking action in football circles?

Emma Quayle: Yep, people have different opinions, some think its a problem, others think they could fix it. He'll work hard to improve.

Pelchen was asked on Ch 10 news tonight whether it was a weak draft. He said it's shallow but there'll be still good kids to be found later in the draft. So yes it's shallow outside the top 10 or so but not a poor draft. The Ch 10 reporter said there was mixed views amongst the recruiters about the strength of this year's draft.

A bit more from Emma on Butcher:

ps I think people can be hard on him. quick agile & can mark. Kids in the system 2 years give people more time to find flaws

A snippet from the West Australian....

Fremantle have the fourth pick in the draft and will take Peel's Anthony Morabito if he isn't snared with the third selection by Richmond.

The Tigers are keen on the Thunder teenager, but have to weigh up whether to select the WA product or go home-grown and secure exciting Geelong Falcons teenager Gary Rohan.

Melbourne are expected to select Victorian Tom Scully and South Australian Jack Trengove with the first two picks.

Now its reported we may select this Geelong Falcons kid.

What Martin and Butcher no good.

I believe too much emphasis is placed on this stupid Nathan Buckley kicking exercise and not on the whole season the kid has played.

This is the reason why Rich slid. He was a No 2 but didnt perform at this draft camp.

Even some coaches are not sold on the drills, the players were put through this week.

I have no confidence we will select the right kid with Jackson still part of the process. He has proved he has no NFI

[Danog]

It's the West Australian.  What do you expect?

[Infamy]

We've been linked to Cunnington for Pick 3 also
No need to get your knickers in a twist

[Con65]

I think it will be Martin for pick #3.

Quite quick in the 20m sprint and kicks with both feet...and accurate too....

No brainer unless Scully or Trengove are still at #3....

I think it will be Martin for pick #3.

No brainer unless Scully or Trengove are still at #3....

agreed hopefully we pick him up.
