No chance IMO. Often looks lost and out of position. Has no feel for the game and no clear position at AFL level.

 

[aussierulesrules]

There are only 4 clubs keen on Gartlett as far as I know.

Does one of them start with an St?

 

[dlanod]

Does one of them start with an St?

Yep.

 

[Megaman123]

Knightmare, I'm a fan on Alex Spina, you have him going at 43 but hasn't made your top 50 Power rantings. I think he has terrific scope for development and this year injuries have had an impact on how he has gone. I'd love to get him at pick 41, I think he has the potential to play a fwd/mid role.

 

[Snoop Dog]

Those being?

all i will say is that 3 are melbourne clubs.

 

[Snoop Dog]

would collingwood consider taking scharenberg at picks 6 or 10 to add to their backline which has lost shaw, maxwell coming to the end of his career, toovey coming back from a knee and o'brien playing further up the ground

I'd cry if they dont.
Am hoping Hine just hasnt envisaged it and would snap him at 6 if got the chance. Then get Bontempelli, Lennon, Freeman, Sheed or Salem at 10. Even be ok with Dumont, McCarthy or Acres.....I'm easy to please.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Any info in Aaron Heppell Knightmare

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Salem to be available in top 12 do you reckon Knightmare?

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

+ Adelaide Crows

Id say the last thing st kilda need especially after just sacking your coach would be to pick up Garlett.

I dont think st kilda can take much more bad press

 

[smashbox gill]

Im thinking Hawthorn, St Kilda, Carlton, Adelaide. Am i close?

Id say st kilda would be out now since they sacked watters and dont need any more bad press

 

[aussierulesrules]

Yep, fair call. Would be a big risk. We'd also probably need him to slip to the rookie draft, as I doubt we'd be taking him with one of our top 20 ND picks.

Not far off. Swap Carlton for Essendon and you're spot on, I reckon. I've read that Dons and Hawks may be interested. But who really knows. In a month, it'll be down to just one.

 

[pantskyle]

North have met with him several times.

 

[Small Moves]

C'mon Crippsy, slide to 31!

Eagles conceding 28 to Lions could be costly

Hopefully Nick Robertson is still available if Cripps goes before 31.

 

[I am Jack]

Any info in Aaron Heppell Knightmare

If his last name wasn't Heppell, he'd be nope hope of being picked up.

In saying that, I expect he'll get picked up.

 

[Knightmare]

I've seen in a few other people's phantom drafts that they have aliir aliir what do you think his chances are of getting drafted

Aliir Aliir isn't someone I'd be drafting. He really struggles not only 1v1 but also reading the drop of the ball. Some are intrigued by his athleticism and closing speed but I'm not so much.

I don't expect him to get drafted. He was overlooked last year also. But stranger things have happened.

No chance IMO. Often looks lost and out of position. Has no feel for the game and no clear position at AFL level.

Not wrong.

Spina is someone I've been up and down on. I had high hopes earlier in the season as there was some hype surrounding him but in the games I've seen I've struggled to see it.

He's not an immediate player and will need time to develop but you are right he has some attributes and in a good program he's one of a number who has the opportunity to develop.

Any info in Aaron Heppell Knightmare

He's a shorter, less dominant and less damaging version of his brother. He's a strong tackler and can win some of his own footy but he doesn't have one point of difference that seperates him from the next recruit.

I'm not expecting Aaron to get drafted but he's in the mix none the less and is in with a chance.

Salem to be available in top 12 do you reckon Knightmare?

My guess is he's likely gone by then. Melbourne and Collingwood at 9+10 respectively are said to be keen on Salem. But it's possible.

 

[Sydswans0512]

Knightmare I'm hoping Matt Crouch slides to the swans at pick 15 he'd be right to go for round one right?

 

[Knightmare]

If Sydney want to play him round one he is ready to go.

With the sheer quantity of quality in that Sydney midfield I see a round one debut on that team as difficult though. More likely he'd be an immediate depth and injury cover type as someone exceptionally capable of coming in and holding his own if and when required.

 

[daniel23]

knightmare what would be stopping James Tsitas from going earlier in the draft then what you have him , seems to get a heap of the ball both state and tac and his combine testing was good especially kicking , is he really lacking something that wont translate to afl?

 

[Heppellicious]

Knightmare what types of Mids will be around at essendon's #26? In your view could garlett go there?

 

[Lionmoe21]

knigtmare, do you see mcarthy playing at all next year or still way too raw and may take 2-3 years to develop.

 

[Sydswans0512]

It seems like Sydney has changed their recruiting a touch after they picked up Luke Parker, last year we went for a mature ager in Towers then a bigger body in Membrey that why I'm thinking they'll go for Crouch if he's available.
Who else has a mans body and is ready to go for round one that will go at around pick 15

Problem is we have a noticeable problem generating i50s so speed around the contest is a real deficiency we can fix in this draft with our first rounder. Unless we have an eye on Garlett... with one of those second rounders.
