When I do that I have to come up with a new usernameif we get the next pendlebury with bontempelli im going to run amok all over the carlton forums
The nerves will be going through the roof if we pass on Bontempelli at 6 hoping he slides to 10...
Still won't have anything on waiting for Beams at 29, biggest sigh of relief when Adelaide read out McKernan at 28
Remember it's the top ten so we'll get Vlad's ridiculous countdown. We'll hear our pick first.

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

I thought they scrapped that last year and went upwards from 1-10.
Could be wrong though.
I hope you are right, Adams will turn into a star overnight with usOk. I doubt wingard would be half the player he is if he was picked by GWS anyway
this could turn into a witch-hunt!Well, that is Salem's Lot....
This guy who also thinks he gets the inside word, has us taking Scharenberg and Bontempelli.

Oh, are they still doing that...? That is ridiculous.
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.

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.
