Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[Blazeit]

Also heard this from a mate. He said two South Australian's that are massive Bombers fans are big chances to slide to our picks.

This would be amazing. Apparently Francis and Bonner are pretty close mates too. Same with Parish and Mathieson, if he slides to our second round pick.
I know it's not a huge deal, but going to a foreign footy club with one of your mates has to help with your confidence and development as a first year player. Unless they're loose units and love the shard.

Absolutely. Doubt Matho gets past St. Kilda or Hawthorn unfortunately.

Yeah true. I suppose if we land Francis, Parish and Bonner it might be a wise idea to grab a genuine tall at 25 anyway. I really don't give a **** either way though, I know we'll land 4 decent kids.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

If we get Francis, Parish, Bonner and Mathieson, we "win" the draft comfortably. Obviously we don't know how each will turn out but based on current experts synopsis, it will be a clear win. It'll also make me feel better about missing out on Oliver

Waiting for Emma Quayle is like waiting for the draft to start, she pretty much always nails the top 5

Last year she pretty much nailed the top 20

 

[Howard Moon]

I'm pretty sure disco already has his post draft speech written.

'We are ecstatic, we picked up some excellent young footballers, and quality young men.

We had those guys placed much higher on our boards, we couldn't say their name quick enough when they fell to us.

We think we filled a lot of holes this draft and addressed all of our needs. Essendon members can be excited about the future of this group of young men.'

Emma on twitter has stated

For 4/5

Our order is Oliver, Francis then Parish.

She like the other 2 expects Melb to now take Oliver at 3.

She also stated a hunch about Essendon going with Harry Mckay at 5. Potentially meaning that bombers could get both Mckay twins to the club if Bens available still at 24/25.

No longer interested in Weideman. Maybe still Curnow in the picture aswell.

 

[Zach Package]

so are we going to go with 'Frahn-cis' or 'Fran-sis'?

 

[carnthedons]

He's from Adelaide so he'd probably go with the former but we're not like that over here.

Let's give him no.8 and call him boom boom boris

Still think we'll take Francis+Parish combo.

I wonder who else we'd get if we picked up McKay that early. I hate the prospect of passing up Francis under any circumstances. I like the look of McKay, but that's just going by his YouTube highlights. He looks great below his knees for someone 200cm tall.

Brett Anderson's Final Mock Draft if anyone is interested

Talk about a dream result, those first 5 would be incredible

Wow, no longer interested in Weideman. That's a big call imo. Can't wait for Francis though. Should just call him 'Gun.'

The club loves drafting HBF's can't see them passing up Francis I'll be pissed if we do.

Ben McKay is nicknamed "Buckets". Hmmm....

 

[harry_caul]

If Melbourne is silly enough to pass on Parish I hope we don't follow suit, that would be insane.

 

[BomberFan355]

I'll be surprised if we don't pick Francis the kid wants to come to Essendon.

Should we take him with pick 4 or pick 5?

 

[Tazdog]

Hoping for one of these combinations tomorrow night...

Francis/bonner

Parish/Mathieson

McKay/mckay

That would be Melbourne, ah, doing a Melbourne.

About H Mckay...

“Harry’s more the forward type in the Joe Daniher-type mould. Really worked on other aspects of his game, including ruck work, but has good hands, great work-rate, very athletic, good speed and can take a mark. Has some real AFL traits about the way he plays at his size.“ – Gippsland Power coach Leigh Brown

I feel like our other long term KPF needs a point of difference to Joe personally.

 

[Tazdog]

Should we take him with pick 4 or pick 5?

The only reason I would pick him with 4 over 5 is just the 'go home factor'. Unlikely to go home if we draft him but worst case scenario, we so trade him, he will be of slightly heigher value

 

[MightyDons4]

Please no McKay at 5, would almost be as bad as Rioli at Richmonds 1st

 

[Autobahn]

It's time to do away with the 6 digits identifying players name, it sounds like they're calling out prisoners headed for the mercy seat . Instead, read out their potential nicknames when names are called out.

Pick 4: Franga No HIV Francis
Pick 5: Marcy Darcy

Forward to 59:45 for Langford and Laverde. That cheer for Laverde.

MarkG , are you going to take that?
