did say at the start that F.S were eligible who could be taken this year but if we think a bit cute will swap it over.

I was under the impression McDonald can't be taken this year?
Correct. Minidraft eligable technically but draft eligable in 2013 so another year to wait.
If future F/S selections could come into it I might have taken Darcy Moore but like with McDonald for North Melbourne too young.
He isn't available as a FS this year. Only the minidraft. 2 different things with different eligibility criteria.Knighta that's a tad melodramatic. Moore is 15/16! If you read your notes it said players that could be taken as F.S this year (and McDonald can) were eligible. Its a quirk in this years draft and last bc of the GWS entitlement to the 17yo's. Thats why McDonald is eligible this year as a F.S (Fact). But as I said it doesnt appear to have been understood and clearly if it was people would have taken him earlier. I will change it so lets move on.

Aren't you supposed to be the draft guru around here? A real wtf moment here folks.

Writeups (hah, i'm looking pretty clever after this week's TAC games, since one of my late picks kicked 5, and another kicked 4 and snagged a BoG!
64: Nic Graham
Another pure footballer. 180cm midfielder, solid build, bores in hard and shows the way with desperation and attack on the ball. Decision making skills a strong point - very rarely does dumb things. Disposal solid by foot or by hand, but his selection of options makes it look damn good. Can play on the hbf as well, and he's a good option to set up, but I like him in the guys more where his slight one-pacedness is less likely to be explosed by having to run around chasing Harley Bennell's tail or something similar. Tackles ferociously, can kick a goal. Will not go this late in the real thing. Think Luke Parker.
82: Brian Coleman Broom
Express-pace forward line livewire from Qld. Possible eligible for some sort of wanky GC zone selection, but I don't really care about that stuff for the trial, so I'm picking him here. Taller than your stereotypical indigenous lightning bolt, I think he's 187 or 188cm - skinny, but I think he'd be able to fill out enough. Not consistent and I don't think he has much of a tank, but is capable of turning it on in breathtaking bursts. Made the NT side look genuinely slow at the champs, and that's not easy to do - he's seriously one of the quickest junior players i've ever seen. Nose for a goal, able to take the ball (or keep it in front of himself) even at full pace and swerving. Very very hard to lay a hand on. Handy enough skill-wise, but he's an instinctive player rather than a disciplined machine man at this point, and he'd need to adjust to the AFL style of playing footy. Immense upside though.
100: Spencer White
Another upside pick. Solidly built and agile 195cm power kpf, mobile around the ground, aggressive, can take a big mark and kick goals. Has I think four five-goal bags under his belt at TAC level this year, which is pretty respectable (even though I seem to recall two of them were against Eastern...). Noticed him as an underager last year, was a big fan of the way he kept his feet in the marking contest, then was able to keep going, crumb his own ball and wheel around - almost Buddy-like. Question mark with Spencer is his attitude - his best is exceptional but he's also capable of some of the laziest efforts you could ever hope to avoid seeing on a footy field. When he's having a down game he's absolutely invisible - won't contest, present, or tackle, and you only notice him when he gets frustrated and gives away dumb frees. Would depend on how he interviews etc and how the rest of his season pans out, but worth a shot.
118: Sam Critchley
Similar size and shape to White but almost the exact opposite in play style. Dogged, gut running kpp perhaps a shade lacking in brilliance but who'll work all day long and give his all. Mostly seen him played at CHB, where he ranges wide to give an option and positions himself well to meet the ball coming in. Solid overhead, uses it with discipline and respects his own limitations.
a smokie for sure would have to be Daniel Bartlett from Perth aswellYsaye sent me through his pick again...

beowulf, hopefully you have no computer issues at the real draft so you can make your own selections.
I was aiming for someone other than Plowman at Carlton's first pick, but all my preferred options dropped off the list. It was almost a case of pick the best option.
Plowman is a LOT different to the likes of McInnes and Watson, he will play the more Mackie styled defender. Could be a great replacement for Duigan in years to come. If in the real draft, if one of the more highly fancied inside midfielders or quick outside runners is around, I think Carlton may head in that direction.
I should be right, unless Telstar throw me something else weird.beowulf, hopefully you have no computer issues at the real draft so you can make your own selections.

Interesting on Thurlow, as we know tassie played him as a defender in the carnivals where he did well BUT it sounds like he is a true all round utility type. I have an uncle that follows his club side Launceston in the Tasmanian State league who says he can play HF and midfield as well. He has been dominating in the midfield with Launceston since returning form carnival - has been getting consistent high 20's over last 5 weeks and kicked 3 goals in 2 of last 3 games from midfield. Apparently last year as a 1st year player played in Launceston state league premiership side as a goal kicking HF and was in best in prelim and GF.Pick 51: Carlton
Jackson Thurlow
Height: 189 cm
Weight: 79 kg
DOB: 28/03/1994
Club: Launceston
Thurlow is an exciting prospect. He reads the play very well and is known for his rebounding and interceptions. Thurlow is not the tightest defender going around, although he concentrate on a man pretty well when he must. His typical play is to run off his man and be the 3rd option in a contest or intercept a forward move with his strong marking. He runs hard and can get on the end of play and even kicks goals from defence. His kicking is solid on both sides, but by no means elite and he does have quick hands in close.
He looks to be another half back flanker, but I expect him to play further up the ground. He has played in the midfield and on the wing. LemmingMaster described him as a midfielder hiding in defence: he could well play a similar role to that of Tom Bell. Just not yet. Unlike Bell, Thurlow doesn’t have the physique to handle that role yet.
The other thing of interest (to me, anyway) is how he goes in the speed tests at the Draft Camp. He runs pretty well but I’d like to have a decent measure of EXACTLY how fast he can go when he has to.
