Remember it's the top ten so we'll get Vlad's ridiculous countdown. We'll hear our pick first.

I thought they scrapped that last year and went upwards from 1-10.
Could be wrong though.

Well Wingard went at 6, so they can't miss him 9 times.Almost as bad as GWS having 9 of the first 11 draft picks and missing Chad Wingard

Nope you're right.

Nobody said they missed him 9 times.. they had almost every pick in the top 10 and missed him, that's the point

Ok. I doubt wingard would be half the player he is if he was picked by GWS anyway

Yeah, I'm actually worried for my furniture, walls, and home entertainment system if that were to play out.

They scrapped it last year. They're not doing it anymore - They just take their time with the first ten selections, show a highlights package and do a short interview with the kid.
That was all they ever really wanted, but Andrew Demetriou thought that you had to count down from 10 to 1 to be able to interview the #1 pick because he's an idiot.

Yeah, that's what I thought. That is obviously the better way to do it.
Brilliant!

Hi guys, here is my October Edition of my Phantom Draft. I'll be doing one more a few days out from the draft, and between now and then I have quite a few catch ups with players, player managers a couple of recruiters and a few other reporters.

I think there are 5 very high level footballers in this draft that are just a class above the next rung: Boyd, Aish, Billings, Kelly, Scharenburg. These guys have all the assets and are very rounded footballers and if I was ignoring club needs/preference they would happily be my top 5. I am ignoring McDonald in all of this who is close to being in this bracket.
There is a another raft after them of KK, Lennon, Bontempelli, Sheed, Crouch, Acres, Freeman who all are fairly even & justifiable picks in their own right 6-12.
Scenario 1: I think KK is the one that is jumping the order if GC take him at 5. He is an exciting talent no doubt but I prefer the first 5 I listed. If GC does take him I think this gifts us a first class player, just a matter of which. We would be mad to ignore them. Given Boyd is cemented #1 and Kelly is attractive to GWS,WB & StK the one that may land with us will be Billings/Scharenburg/Aish. If any of those land with us I will be completely content, just need GC to follow through.
The pick 10 then becomes a matter of who is left. If it is Scharenburg we get I would prefer we look at Freeman/Sheed/Acres/Crouch. If Billing/Aish are taken I would prefer we look at Lennon/Bontempelli.
Scenario 2: If the first 5 are all gone & GC surpirses us I think this changes the game a little. I am not sure we would go Kolo. It would bring Bontempelli & Lennon into the mix earlier and we could land our choice of Freeman/Sheed/Acres/Crouch at 10.
For me scenario 1 would be ideal, landing any of Billings/Aish/Scharenburg will make this trade/draft period a massive success. Scenario 2 is still OK but all those players available bring some question marks & risks with them that the first 5 do not.

I think that's a relatively sound assessment of the scenario before any "inside whispers" start to fly around.
There's still a chance that Bontempelli could push up the order and go ahead of our pick, and guys like Lennon, Freeman and Salem have the potential to enamour teams with their elite attributes too - You can never be TOO certain of how these things will shake down. Remember that last year it wasn't until a day or two before the draft that we found out what GWS' Top 3 was actually going to be.
Nice review. Personally I think Scharenburg will go as high as pick 2 to GWS. Just think he would be a great fit for their list. The big slider for me will be Billings who I think we will take at 6. Given the preferences of the other clubs, Kelly / Aish / KK will be gone by pick 6, and think Billings is best available following this lot.
That means unfortunately Bontempelli (pick 7) will be gone, as will Lennon (pick 9). So for me we will take Freeman at pick 10.
But I'm sure no one at Collingwoood will take any notice of what I think

Gotta say I like the sound of Scenario 1 there, almost too good to be true TBH. But then, I was fist pumping last ND so no reason for us not to be quietly hopefull.
Can't believe we've gotta wait another three weeks.

Freeman and Taylor would solve our pace problem overnight
