Hey. I was wondering, with all the recent press around Raph Clark being picked up by the Bombers or perhaps the Cats, what would be the odds of Kepler Bradley slipping through and getting to the Saints? He would be a great get for them. But at first he was top 2, then top 4, and now hes slipped right down. Can someone fill me in on that?
 
Well, I think the teams above the Saints are all looking for midfielders, so there's a fair chance of Bradley being available at pick #8.
 
I have a feeling the cats will take bradley if he is still available at pick 7, which i think he will be. If they don't take him maybe they will take dunn if he doesnt go earlier. I can remember reading somewhere that geelong will take the best remaining player in the draft with pick 7.

Because it is a safer option to take an established midfielder rather than an unknown package.

Cooney, Walker, Sylvia, Ray, Tenace and co look like they are going to be guns whereas Kepler is an unknown quanitity because of his characterstics.

Get it right with him and there is a massive cult superstar, if it doesn't work out you've wasted a top 10 pick with so many good midfielders available at that time.

The draft is a lottery, but you can plan for it ;)

What else are the Geelong officials supposed to say, "We're going to take our annual smokey"?

Kepler Bradley impresses me and personally, I'd love Geelong to snap him up with pick #7. Also, Fergus Watts, although he is notoriously known for his 'one-dimensional' style (marking his main attribute - which drags his ranking down considerably) would be very handy in my opinion. He seems like a bit of an intimidator (Barry Hall) and possibly a future leader...both of these elements should be of high consideration for Geelong, given our distinct lack of leadership and presence in the forward half of the ground.
 
It's a shame that McNeil didn't play Bradley as a onballer during the 18's. West Perth did the last time we played them, they beat us ( S.Freo) and Bradley until injured was brilliant as an onballer. After Kouta and Pav it shouldn't be too far fetched for us to believe that 6ft 4 can't rove.

He is one of a kind.. why pass him up?!

Go Roos

I'm telling you this guys Bradley is hopeless and shouldn't go until 11. Don't waste your pick before this he's hopeless!
 
He was only getting 20+ possessions 10 marks playing for West Perth seniors. Obviously can't play as he didn't do well in the TAC Cup. I'd leave him for the second round!!

Don't know why anyone would take into account that he's already played seniors when heplayed at the 18's (Although he did win the Larke medal too) Should be min top 4 pick.

If tenace is still available and sheeds picks bradley then he should be locked up. Why the **** do we keep wasting first round picks:confused:

Not ****ing happy if its bradley at six

The Bombers have said that they probably arent going to draft Bradley. HOW MANY YOUNG RUCKMAN DO YOU NEED??? Laycock, Cartledge, O'Keefe, Hille etc.

Fair comment dascman03 but this guy provides a lot more flexibility and options than any of those.

I agree totally although O'Keefe was given the arse last week. Tenace is the exact player we need. An inside midfielder with some genuine legspeed. Winderlich, Walsh, Rama, Reynolds are more wingers and flankers. Tenace is a genuine on-baller.

Bradley gives us nothing. We have bolton who is 195cms and runs all day.

We want quality on-ballers sheeds you mad irish bastard....pick one for **** sake
 
**** you don't call the club stupid they know more than u and Bradley will be good.

Yeah Shane harvey, d-mac, james davies some other first round gems we have picked up.

Tenace is a cant miss selection he will be a good player. Bradley's kicking skills are not good. And people say he could be another fletcher but he has nowhere near the speed of dustin.

Tenace is a geniune onballer with pace and we passed him up. Sheeds is a tool

You are just down because you made such a stupid bet. As for bagging Sheeds..some Essendon supporters really have no idea.

Kep Bradley believes himself going at number 6 to essendon. His own opinion that he is too skinny to go any earlier in the draft.
