[M Malice]

really appreciate the PD cooperg always enjoy reading new peoples opinions, a few thoughts on what you have the lions doing.

i really like Taratno but i can't see the lions passing up on Ainsworth at 3. if he's taken they will take whoever is left out of McCluggage/McGrath IMO.

love Simpkin with our 2nd pick although i think the club may take Berry if still available there, really tough choice.

would be a big surprise if Allison is bid on before our pick 21 but we would probably match the bid.

no way we take Maibaum IMO with next years draft by all reports stacked with key position talent.

of the players you had as still available at 21 and 22 i would have went Witherden (who you don't have in your top 50) and one of Bolton/Rotham/Clarke/Fisher/Drew.

IMO- no way Ainsworth goes that low. Witherden will be a top 25 pick at the worst.

 

[cooperg]

Thanks for your thoughts, crap forgot about Alex Witherden, had him around pick 20 at one stage and must of forgot to add him, wont change it now. But may go to your Lions at Pick 22 maybe.

[Apex36]

Collingwood won't match Brown if he gets a bid before 28.

 

[Chachi]

Interesting how you appear to rate Marshall, Sproule and Battle all pretty close.

If I was to make one predictions, I reckon Battle slides past 35.

I'd be surprised if we went Kerr full stop.

Having said all that, I quite like 3 out of the 4 picks you have us taking, I'd swap Scharenberg for Kerr though.

Player bio's are done to death but maybe the reason you have a club picking a player would be great reading.

Thanks for your efforts.

 

[cooperg]

No worries Chachi, could be a chance, but Geelong may want to add another midfielder after losing Caddy.

[Kangaroos4eva]

Good on you for giving it a go and putting the massive effort needed.

North picks are interesting. A small forward, a tall utility and a smaller forward utility isn't probably what we are after as utilities and flankers are in abundance at North.

We are probably looking at genuine outside mids and mid/forward types with good pace and class as well as a Cedric Cox/Fisher type with maybe a kpd in the rookie draft.

I'm not criticising you, I am just indicating what north's needs are and what we are more likely to chase.

Again kudos for the effort.

 

[cooperg]

Thanks for your comments, Jordan Ridley is a more taller key position player.

[Kangaroos4eva]

Thanks for your comments, Jordan Ridley is a more taller key position player.

Thanks for that, I had to research all three as I haven't heard of them, those picks were definitely a little from left field from most phantom drafts (which made for interesting reading) that have us taking Florent, Florent and Florent again.

 

[cooperg]

What i will say is i really rate Oliver Florent, i think he is a great player and a top 10 player, and now boosted his chances for top 10 even around pick 7ish and i reckon if Sydney don't get Griffen Logue, they will go for this speedy classy player in Florent, if Florent on the other hand is available at the Roos first pick, i reckon they will get him yes i agree but dont think he will be available at that pick.

Unless I am mistaken, but you have disagreed with nearly every phantom draft - Maybe you should make your own phantom draft.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Unless I am mistaken, but you have disagreed with nearly every phantom draft - Maybe you should make your own phantom draft.

Not every North pick in every phantom draft, I have agreed with quite a few actually, but I have disagreed with most of North's phantom picks because they haven't fully addressed north's draft needs. I have only claimed knowledge about my club's needs from the draft, not every club. Furthermore, I have already outlined who I've wanted from the draft, so seem you've been reading my posts, you should know that already.

It is clear that from a number of the phantom drafts that some phantom draft posters don't understand every club's needs, which is more than fine, because few ever do the work and why would you waste hours researching other club's you don't even like for a footy forum.


There is absolutely no point in me making a phantom draft as I only fully understand my own club's needs and I won't even pretend to understand over club needs fully. I have been polite in each thread I've disagreed with and outlined perfectly rational reasons.

 

[sydney eagle]

Fisher at 34 for the Eagles eh. Been a while since we had a player from the ACT at West Coast. That was Josh Wooden as I recall, and he was a useful player.

 

[missionpossible]

Collingwood won't match Brown if he gets a bid before 28.

Can this please be true.

I would enjoy watching him tear it up at another club

 

[missionpossible]

Hayward. Berry. Kerr. Clarke I would be happy with that.

Berry. Galluci. Kerr. Clarke on draft night and I pity anyone in the room with me.

 

[Apex36]

It's true. There are several players around that mark that the Pies have ahead of Brown on their draft board. If he filled a need for us then I could see them maybe pulling the trigger, but as it stands he'd be more of what we already have, except with less size to work with.

I don't see anyone pulling the trigger on him before Collingwoods first tbh. 99% of power rankings I've seen have him mid 30's or later. He becomes good value after our first pick given our next is 44, but any club trying to be smart and make Collingwood cough up their first pick for him had better be prepared to take him.

 

[missionpossible]

Yeah no way he goes in the first round.Starts to get considered from about 24. Fair value is where your pick actuall lies imo. But then i think he is under rated by most

isnt fisher from Perth?

[DangerIsLove]

Geelong should take Brennan Cox or Powell Pepper at 24. SPP won't go to WC for Pick 12 no way. Scharenberg at 38 definitely

 

[cooperg]

Powel Pepper wont be at 24... Saints would get him if he was at 23, will be gone well before 24 most likely.

But thanks for your opinion.

[cooperg]

Yeah he is

isnt fisher from Perth?

 

[cooperg]

I'd be rapt if i was a Port fan if the moves i said eventuated.

Hayward as a 3rd tall fwd, Berry inside mid/half back, Kerr key position forward and Clarke a midfielder. Will help Ports needs in those positions, or a start of it atleast.

Hayward. Berry. Kerr. Clarke I would be happy with that.

Berry. Galluci. Kerr. Clarke on draft night and I pity anyone in the room with me.

eagles are super keen on SPP. he's not the only one to have SPP at pick 12

Excatly Avishka
