Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

Pretty good effort Dave. Would love Cahill and Brown. Hope adelaide would go for Steele but they prob wont

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

I wouldn't have thought the Bulldogs will select only 'tall forwards' with there 2 live selections after taking one with there F/S pick.

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

Well done Dave. I don't think Blease will be taken before Yarran though.

I'm hopeful we avoid kids with average-poor footskills like DeBoer.

I'd be happy for us to take 3 mids and a key defender, preferably a mid with the first pick. Sidebottom would be a great get at 11.

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

terrible selection from port adelaide point of view, we need a tall foward not a defender or small foward

Nice work Dave, I can't imagine how long it would take to come up with these mocks. From an Essendon point of view it's a good draft with Suban and Hartlett adding some class and our midfield would be pretty much complete but I would like at least one kpp who has a chance of becoming a defender with one of our picks. Wow what a draft for WC!!!!! I am sure that is their dream draft right there, also Naitanui, Yarran and Walters all coming from the same street and playing for the same afl team, how weird would that be!!!!!

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

Is Liam Jones a better prospect than Michael Still?

Our new recruiting manager has hinted we'll go tall with our live picks, but are Jones and Cornelius better options than Rhys O'Keefe, Ashley Smith or Dan Hanneberry?

No point in picking tall for the sake of it.

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

No chance Yarran will last to 18. No chance. He is way too talented to slide.

Mods can we get a DTM Mock Draft sub board?

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

Despite your knockers Dave, i reckon this is a very good effort. I know most of your info comes 2nd hand....but in your defence you do a lot of research...probably more than anyone on here so you are in a great position to judge.


Im annoyed at people saying "No way Yarran will slide"

Let's say that he goes pick 5 to Essendon like a lot are saying....that means Hartlett may slide right out of top 10.

Then you will get the person saying "No way Hartlett will slide"


There is going to be a few sliders, and a few suprises. Just look at Rioli last year...he slid to Hawthorn when his talent was probably good enough for top 5. Clubs are usually pretty cautious with the indigenous players. (Have a look at the Davey boys)

Yarran could be the next big thing...or he could be the next Chris Egan. He sounds a lot better than Egan, but i hear the term 'laziness' associated with him from time to time.


All of these mock drafts will be lucky to get 5 correct. But i agree with Daves reasoning. Tigers to go tall...Carlton to go tall...Essendon to go midfielder...Collingwood to go mid...Adelaide to go forward.

The selections may be wrong, but if i were selectors, these are the similar strategies i would be following.

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

I'd be happy with Suban, not sure Essendon will do it though. I do feel we'll go best tall at 23 if we go for a midfielder at 5 (happy you took hartlett). If we did go small, I'd rather O'Keefe at 23.

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

Good effort Dave,

I wouldnt mind North Taking one of Jayden Post or Nick Heyne ( which I didnt see in your top 50 ) at our second selection. Havent seen much of Zaharakis to be honest, but looks like you have most teams needs covered!!
Well done

Re: DTM Final 3 Round Mock - With Explnations

Watts

Robinson

Shoenmakers

Roughead


- Dees would be absolutely laughing with those pick ups.

Richmond has stated that they will not go tall in the 1st round unless they are best aviliable.

For once, I'll agree with you.
If we were to choose those two midfielders with our first two picks, our next two (55 & 67) would have to be on Key Position Backs you would think.

DTM 3 Round Mock Draft

1:Melbourne - Watts
No Brainer here for the dees, The have lost Neitz so know accept for robbo they hav no Forward Line to speal of.
So with Watts being the Best-Avaliable and is a power forward in the Making and could become a AA Forward.


19:Melbourne - Ryan Shoenmakers
Will complement Watts well where Ryan can lead up Further up the ground and Then can get the
ball back into the 50 and Watts

love the watts schoenmakers combo cream myself if we get the shoe

Walsh and Tom hill play together at the Knights. Ones a rolls royce and it aint the one you picked. Who are these people congratulating you on this dribble?

It's called an Opinion and what makes you so smart on this years draft

Pretty much and you are more likely to get a better tall at 23 than at 55. If we had 39 then we could go two smalls. But I do not like pick 55 as the first "tall" selection one bit. I want one tall in our first two picks.

No chance Yarran will last to 18. No chance. He is way too talented to slide.

Someone has to slide. Surley one of stephen hill, swift or Yarren will fall to 18.
