Who knows what Geelong have told Clark, I'm sure that there's no guarantee, but it would be pretty un-Geelong like to let all the talk about them being certainties to pick him play out and then pick someone else. I reckon they're fairly committed.
No doubt everyone suddenly rating Phillipou at 4-5 will shake the order up slightly though. Article I read (I think in the Age) this morning sounded fairly certain Essendon will take him at 5 which does leave Tsatas there for somebody to get.
meh they can have him. he looks a one way winger to me and i can't believe some people have rated him as high as 3.
i reckon he won't be strong enough for a permanent inside mid role at AFL level.winger? Onballer through and through. Hes pretty freakish in close.

i could easily be wrong, just my opinion of him. and yeah his kicking looks a bit suspect.Hes got a frame to add weight to for sure. I think his upside is as good as anyone's in this draft. Some of the stuff he can do you dont see much . Needs to tidy up his disposal which can be a bit hit and miss.
They've got no wings now that Hunter has left. I imagine they try him there.Cannot believe the Western are taking Oskar Baker. Hilarity ensues.

If teams telegraphed picks like this it would unbelievably dumb, im not convinced they are committed whatsoever.
Teams definitely telegraph picks through the media. In any given year journalists with no particular investigative skills or recruiting expertise accurately predict most of the top 10 picks. That can only happen because they've been briefed on it by clubs.
Smart teams would do this to throw people of the trail. You see it in the NFL all the time.
Really don't think it's that simple. I think they talk to agents and the players themselves. If a certain player has been interviewed 17x by Geelong and 0 by Melbourne not hard to work out who's more interestedTeams definitely telegraph picks through the media.

Yeah and no doubt some do, but you've also got to concede that come draft night we usually know who a lot of the teams are going to pick. Ie it would be a shock if GWS don't pick Cadman despite the fact nobody really seems to rate him as the top 1-2 in the draft pool.
My feeling with Geelong is they know they've got a good product to offer so they don't mess around too much playing games. I reckon they'll take Clark - may well be wrong though.
Checking in after a few weeks offline. I'm assuming all of his posts have been like this while I've been away? Can't wait to read the last 15 pages of this thread.A danster post reporting facts rather than the usual twisting his own opinion into fact. What a delight.
shows your agenda. you still couldn't keep it positive. Especially after I'm posting the interview for your own benefit.A danster post reporting facts rather than the usual twisting his own opinion into fact. What a delight.

You both have a point here. There have been many of us who have clipped you for twisting your opinions into facts ("Grundy no doubt has only a couple of years left" or "Bailey Laurie is definitely a bust" or "Goody straight-out lied to Dunstan's face and promised him heaps of senior game time"). It's tiring and annoying.
But I wholeheartedly appreciate you posting a run down of JT's interview. As would most posters in this instance.

Nah, you just criticised me and I called you out on it when it wasn't necessary for a post that was informative for people that may have missed Jason Taylor's interview. You've been hanging out too much with TKI said I appreciated it in a roundabout way. Danster just went into full defensive mode coz hes not used to compliments.
