Phantom Draft Bishop's 2017 Draft Thread

[evo]

Enjoyed your appearance on the Tiger Podcast with Michaels.

I coached against Coffield and Naish as juniors. My son also played with and against them at various stages over the years. IMO, both are rated too highly by most of the pundits.

Have seen quite a bit of the Oakleigh prospects. Higgins is probably under rated, and Toby Wooler and Ed Richards are over rated.

Richards call is a bit stiff imo, seems to be that good blend of Attacking run as well as determination to tackle that everyone wants in a HBF, I hope we pull the trigger at 27 or 28

Ed Richards will be gone by then.

Bishop is there any way you can see Dow sliding to saints? Unlikely but doesn't seem impossible to me...

1. LDU
2. Rayner/Cerra
3. Rayner/Cerra
4. Stephenson
5. Brayshaw
6. Naughton
7. Dow

Am I dreaming?

I feel like only a month or so ago that was the sort of range most had Dow going anyway, then somehow he's jumped up to the top 3 without playing or testing in that time...

Paddy Dow is North's #1 preference if he slides.

What's your knock on Coffield?

Saw half a dozen North scouts at Dow's last game, they love him.

So do Freo.

Dow will be taken in the first 3 picks. I think Brisbane will pull the trigger on Rayner and Carlton will get him with 3

I've always wondered about club scouts, do they wear the full club gear or attempt to go incognito?

They all have bags that have their club logo on them. For example Adrian Dodoro has a bag with initials AD and the Essendon logo. That goes for most scouts and recruiters. Some where club shirts but mostly its just the bag.

Not surprised and the added bonus is that he is a North boy. His grand father played games for North in the 59-61 period.

LDU , DOW , RAYNER

This combo has a twinge of a few years ago

Trengove , Scully , Martin

All very different players IMO - even the Rayner/Martin comparisons are very overstated.

LDU is most like JPK, Dow has elements of Dangerfield and Brad Crouch.

No chance.

Can tell you as a fact they are far from decided on their top 5 order on their draft board.

Not comparing them as the type of players they are but more having the choice where either could go #1

What do they carry in these mysterious bags?

dodoro has some spare jackets, not sure about the others, mostly snacks I guess

Crackers?

What's your knock on Coffield?

He's a decent player, just don't think he should be rated as a top 10.

Not tall enough for key position and I don't agree with a few of the threads that say he will develop into a midfielder. He' seems to me more a 3rd tall defender, possible utility.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Not good enough.

I demand a Royal Commission!

Ed Richards will be gone by then.

I would not be unhappy if the Swans picked Richards up at pick 14.

Got an old head on his shoulders and great athleticism. Wouldn't be too much of a reach.

I know you have said previously Bish that you wouldn’t be surprised if Murphy went top 10 and we really liked him. With most of the talk being Coffield/Bonar/Naughton is Murphy now back in the frame of things?

Family friends with Nath Murphy and his folks. Reckon it would be hard for him leaving his family and if he does go interstate have a feeling he'll be back in Melbourne in a few years if he can make it. Don't really rate him a top 20 player like a lot of people do though which hurts to say

Have you heard which club is showing the most interest in him?
