Game Day The National Draft Day discussion thread 2016

[Scodog10]

Would love that draft!

I think it would be quite popular, but about as much chance as us winning the big one in 2017. Long odds yet there's hope!

 

[MyManLynch]

Really looking forward to reading all the bigfooty expert opinions tonight.

 

[MyManLynch]

Hopefully I can do the Welcome to Collingwood Threads tonight as I/We know when Picks/Bids happen.

Please let me do them

Anyone that try's to trump TD should be horsewhipped (by a Super model of your choice).

In that case I might have a crack

better than being whipped by a horse I suppose.

You might be in for an unpleasant surprise when Badhorse comes over to give you your reward dressed up as Helena Christensen.

That's a loss on both counts

Promise to put more than 'more to come' in the OP please.

Just saw this posted on the D&T board taken from the Richmond site.

Please please please let them take Brayshaw at 27. That would make my year

Hopefully Foxtel has Picks Televised Just Picks and not them Just Talking.

I hope we at least get 1 KPP

From memory last year there was a choice of watching the panel against pressing red for each selection. My memory could be failing me though.

Just finalising my spreadsheet comparing the last minute phantoms. Not sure if anyone cares or will refer to it, but it's coming nonetheless, even if it's only for my own reference

correct

Would've liked to add "Position" for each player but that was a lot of extra time I couldn't be bothered spending.

Anyway, here goes. As usual it falls away a bit after 30, which makes it a bit hard with people like Villis not being ranked...

 

[Jafo]

For the first pick I've made up two banners to cover eventualities: : "Tradedraft welcomes Jack Maibum" and "Tradedraft welcomes Cox"

For the second pick it's a choice of "Tradedraft welcomes Callum Brown" or "Tradedraft goes mental on the anger emoticons".

That would mean we would have two Big Cox at either end

 

[Harry O]

Doubt we use a 5th pick tonight unless the AFL have advised all rookies are available for senior selection from round 1 regardless of injuries

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Really hoping we don't have to use our first pick on a father son, we really need a KPP in that first pick.
Also like the look of McCarthy with our 4th pick

Couldn't help myself. Sorted them into FWD/MID/DEF/RUCK only (see right hand column). Could've went into tall, medium, small and utility but decided not to.

Well... I think I'm draft ready

It's like bloody Christmas.

Jonty has dropped off the radar.

You're getting a bit carried away. 2 at either end would make 4 Cox.

Jonty has dropped off the radar.

Yeah, amazing isn't it. Was potential top 5 at the start of the year and now could go very late.

Guessing his kicking was really exposed throughout the year. I've only seen one highlight video of him... He got a lot of the ball but gee he butchered it.

Same with Allison. He was being talked about as top 10 last year but has dropped to 4th-5th round. It's a bit sus for my liking tbh, as if Brisbane told him to tank this year. He intrigues me. 194cm and lightning fast. Similar attributes to what we've just lost in Marsh.

By the same token, maybe Brown and Daicos are top ten players who we've told to tank. Unlikely, but you can only hope.

 

[Rusty22]

guys, wouldnt we use our first pick on one of the father sons?
if not who would be good to snag around the pick we have?

 

[barrackers]

I think you were pipped at the post unfortunately Quicky!

Anywho my hopes for tonight in order of when they're taken (academy bids make it an impossibility to get our selection numbers):

1. Battle
2. Brown
3. Daicos
4: McCarthy
5: Allsop

That depends on list makeup obviously and my smoky for our final selection is Marty Hore.

I like your smokey. While I'd be happy seeing any of our VFL players drafted if I if was to isolate a few I'd also consider Lane and Indovino.

 

[Vicky Park]

I'm looking under the tree for my presents. Will unwrap them tonight.
