2013 Draft - Risers, Sliders, Shocks, Locks, Who?

[Snoop Dog]

Also in light of what you are saying here it shocks me to hear that the Swans are looking at Appeness at 15, your thoughts on this?

I think 15 reach for Apenness and he does polarize bc he tests average but is a real competitor. I think around 20 about right and I would have him more fwd than Ruck

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

More likely that its because Bont is not worth being picked at 3 and doubtful to make it to 18/19

Gee... I honestly didn't think that I need to put in a or a for people to get that I was joking there...

 

[Jezzarayman]

does anyone think that Taylor, crouch or Dunstan will slide to pick 22 or 25

Dunstan Possibly, I would strongly doubt Taylor or Crouch get that far.

 

[CWaffles]

Bit of talk that Scharenberg slips out of the top 10 due to stress injuries in his foot? Anyone think this will happen? I would of thought if he got out to Richmond at 12 that would be a steal. I would prefer we took him at 9 if he does slip.

 

[Defacto]

top 3 can pretty much be locked in:
1) boyd
2) kelly
3) billings

 

[jjsmitty8]

Does anyone else see a bit of Barry Hall in Cameron McCarthy?

 

[aussierulesrules]

They're cousins, not brothers... You'd think it'd be ridiculous for an AFL team to overlook a kid because he's got a cousin who got homesick. I shudder to think that anyone would be holding me accountable for the actions of my cousins.

3rd cousins, apparently and I agree with you, I've been saying the same on our board since I saw Cripps play at the champs. If I have 3rd cousins I'm not sure who they are, I had to give serious thought to who my 1st would be!

 

[clipboardbinocs]

Marsh won't slide, he'll go where most believe he should. He's just been overrated by a handful of Bigfooty posters is all.

No, he'll slide.

 

[shotgun_blues]

Cameron Conlon to go before pick 25 is my prediction. Is definitely the wildcard in the pack and he will be a star injuries permitting.

It's legal for first cousins to marry according to a news story this week so no problem

 

[aussierulesrules]

Thanks for the tip.

 

[Dan87]

I reckon Zac Jones will find himself a spot at Sydney, Geelong or Freo, making him a bolter? Be glad to pick him up too.

 

[AjsGuns]

Would say you could almost lock in the top 6: (1,2,3 + 5 certain, 4+6 could maybe switch).
1) Boyd
2) Kelly
3) Billings
4) Bontempelli
5) Kolodjashnij
6) Aish

Hopefully the dogs are smart and take Aish however the word is becoming stronger than ever now were into Bonts.

So would Jack Martin go at 1 or 2 in the draft ,.... if not taken last year in the mini draft .

I reckon Martin and Boyd would be equal par there !

 

[cotter101]

If GWS only had pick 1 instead of picks 1 and 2. I think they would go for Martin.

 

[Mattman93]

No, he'll slide.

Gone cold on him or just heard that clubs have?

There's a lot at staker here!!

1 for sure, Martin is ranked internally higher than O'meara.

[Scham]

No, he'll slide.

I see you're one of the one's that over-rated him then.

Cripps are from a little town of 5000 people called northampton, where marrying your first cousin is politically correct.
Seriously though, besides the cripps boys players such as harry Taylor, haselby and d. Chick just to name a few hail from this town.

Population is more like 1,000

90% related to Cripps family !!!

The age will have a live blogging session with Boyd & Billings on Tuesday at midday so if you have any questions for them fire them away

Interesting quote at the end of an article from EQ. Not a huge surprise but the certainty of the language is noteworthy.

Greater Western Sydney will select Tom Boyd and Josh Kelly with the No. 1 and No. 2 selections.
