LOL Its an even draft
Doesn't matter

For the majority of year it was FOS, Draper, Smillie & Trainor, then Smith came in, then Langford. Reid on the fringes and Lalor was often spoken of an unknown smokey around pick 5-8. Then Trainor dropped out, Tauru came in - but overall the same guys apart from those 2 talls switching are in the conversation.

By the mid champs Trainor had called into that 5-8 range.

There was noise from Twomey that Reid and Armstrong would go top 5.

But none of that has eventuated. They all stagnated whilst Lalor off not even playing has risen consistently.

I still believe 8 is a good pick. It’s just not a good pick specifically for us and I think it’s best to split and try get 2 of these blokes

Reports say that Port are feeling philanthropic

Take Langford and Reid and high 5s to everyone in the recruitment team

This!!! Just take 2 midfielders - what we have been crying out for

Elwood Peckett as a Cat B rookie

 

[gringo2011]

For a kid that dominated games in the back end of the season (posted a few game clips last night)

He is still very raw.

You can see the appeal and why the wild rise is occurring.

It's the negative and the positive. He's raw as **** and only scratched the surface but he's less exposed as well. He's bit of a gamble but the possibilities are endless. He's the exact type that stars if everything goes right. He's eye catching and different. He's like the dream we had for Matty Allison, a smooth moving, fast KP sized utility that can do most things well.

Or he busts like Jarrad Grant

Ok ok my bad. Had a lapse in judgement

Should be fixed now

Yes this definitely seems a great option imo, and then maybe trade F1 for a teens pick and see who’s available

100%

 

[Linton Street Saint]

Based off that article from Adelaide. The lastest projections are as follows.

1. Lalor
2. Jagga Adelaide or FOS North
3. Draper Carlton or Jagga Carlton
4. Tauru North or Draper Adelaide
5. FOS/Langford Melbourne or Tauru Melbourne
6. Smillie Richmond
7. Langford/Fos St Kilda

I'd be going off like a frog in a sock if we end up with Langford/FOS and Reid at 7+8

 

[Linton Street Saint]

Or this massive **** tease.

Indeed but why watch 7 goals in a Brisbane game when you can watch 11 straight

 

[goodie23]

Not surprising, they're the teams with the most picks around where he's likely to fall

 

[gringo2011]

There's no way FoS gets to us when Richmond has 6. They are tossing up between he and Lalor at 1, so they aren't going to pick Smillie over him at 6 surely.

It's funny how perception of value seems to vary with time. FOS had a very ordinary and injury interrupted year and has hardly lost any value. Armstrong dropped off for no reason. Hotton the knee has substantially effected value. Some have come in and some have drifted when nothing has changed and no more footy has been played.

I'm not sure if some is mind games or it's just a weird thing where you start to lose your memory of how good some of these guy's seasons were and you start to value the intangibles and start dreaming about how there progress in the future.

 

[beside the seaside]

The one way I wouldn't mind trading back is if it's to Richmond for their 10 and something else good.

Having said that, probably the only way they do that is if there's a significant player still on the board, in which case we should take them.

Elwood Peckett as a Cat B rookie

Knightmare Lite… really?!

 

[triggering bro]

FOS and Langford my two favourites from the draft. Seems unrealistic one slides to our pick. Imagine if both did.

 

[SteeleSaints]

There is abit of talk that he doesn’t work hard enough and has stunk up his club interviews.

In his media intereviews he comes across very young and not as mature as some of the others. Kids develop and mature at different rates I would take him on his footballing acumen alone.

Elwood Peckett as a Cat B rookie

Pedantic (and possibly wrong) but I don't think you can Cat B list undrafted F/S prospects, only NGA? And we are already at the max quota of 2 with McLennan and O'Connell. Plenty of Cat A spots so not an issue in any case.

He also thinks GWS, with a list that already has too many quality small forwards to fit into a best 22, will take Hannaford. Surely not. Can't read much into anything he writes.

 

[gringo2011]

If Adelaide trade down to pick 2 then Draper could slide.

I'm more worried about Draper's back than Hotton's knee. I can see that dropping his value.

Just posting the news wherever it comes gents.

Tauru is the obvious bolter but who else could recently go up above our picks to allow that to happen?
