Kreuzer won it in 2007.
Cunnington came second last year, from limited games, he would of romped it in.

The Age is talking about Heppell becoming a top 3 draft choice. WCE or Richmond would then be all over Day, considering neither club is overstocked with KPF.

Won't happen.
Either Day goes to the US, or he is taken inside the top 3.
Heppell is more chance of going 4+ than Day is.
Richmond is no chance, as the GC would just take him at 5 if WC passed.
Heppell's TAC Cup finals series has been one of the best we have seen so far, and the GF is yet to come, GC can take Day at #3, and still have a fair chance of getting Heppell at #5 if his stocks are rising that quickly.
That's probably because it has an odd tendency to be won by short people.

Does Day have such an aversion to Perth he would rather go the U.S than play for the Eagles? It seems he would rather stay in the S.A or Vic but there's no way he'll last to Richmond's pick. With Heppell's stocks rising it may be difficult for GC to land Day and Heppell. WCE will surely go best available. I could see Richmond going for Gorringe as their ruck stocks are thin.

GC will go with Day because with Swallow + Bennell it would be handy to add a KPP.
Day's upside is unbelieveable and GC just won't pass that up.
Been saying for a while now Heppell has been under rated on here for some time. Always had him in my top 15. Glad to hear he is now in the top 5 conversation. Very much deserving. Outstanding young talent.

Bock, laycock, bellchambers, Ryder
browne, Graham, vickery, Post

Pace off the mark looks OK, quite good over longer distance with his long stride.
Bit of David Mundy about him?

I would love to somehow get heppell.
been a huge fan of his from when he was touted as a top 20.
midfielder with a strong defensive size and good at the rebounding hbf thing.
we miss that quality so much.
fingers are still crossed.

So pick 4 isn't sounding so bad now?
After all the doom and gloom about GC17 raping this draft there are still some very good footballers out there.
It makes me wonder how could this draft could have been if GC didn't take the best 17-year-olds and the top 3 picks. Zac Smith would have been a top 10 pick easily.
I reckon this would have been a pretty amazingly strong draft if GC hadnt taken those few great players out. I still reckon its a very strong draft. The top 3 are really pretty special. GC are gonna have a field day.

Where do people see Sketcher going? (pick wise not club based)
Zac Smith would have gone in the 09 draft, wouldn't he?

played againts sketcher many of times.
was a ball magnet and very very good tackler.
had a look at his stats in this years tac cup. averaged over 25 possis (most contested) 8 tackles a game.
but i dont think he got invited to draft camp or evan a state screening.
would be a steal no doubt if a club was to pick him up.
