Recruiting Trade/Draft Talk III - Zaharakis for a SIG BET?

[Keystone agony]

Cal twomey also said we could bid on Cal Brown at 29. Specifically mentioned us. Looks like we could be going small again in this draft which i dont mind.

 

[Keystone agony]

Pick 20 preferences order without any major sliders

1. Simpkin
2. Florent
3. Hayward
4. SPP/Galluci
5. Marshall
6. Battle
7. Venables

Witherden* havnt seen any of so would back in the team if they picked him or anyone for that matter.

Basically the exact same as mine except I don't have SPP as an option

I'm still finding it hard to finalise my rankings in general. I think I have my top 10 settled but after that it's so close

Pick 29 is way too early for Brown imo given the talent that would still be available. Pick 41 maybe, but not Pick 29.

On the draft machine for Josh Battle his first minute and a half is from the game he kicks 6 goals, the last goal in particular had people in awe and it was at that moment that a guy next to Dodoro asked if he would grab him at 19 and he replied "I don't think he will be available". Wouldn't shock me in the slightest if we pick him at 20

Just saying my preference in the draft would be the following (even though I know it'd never happen):
Pick 1: Hugh McCluggage
Pick 20: Will Hayward
Pick 29: Josh Battle
Pick 41: Dylan Clarke

Yeah mine is
1: McGrath
20: McCluggage
29: Setterfield
41: Brodie

about as much chance as yours

Lol mine at least has those guys in their approximate draft range's according to the Draft Machine
1: McCluggage (Range 1-4)
20: Hayward (Range 8-20)
29: Battle (Range 15-30)
41: Clarke (Range 30-late)

Ahaha

In my opinion I don't think Hayward gets past Adelaide, and Clarke surely won't get past either of norths picks in the 30s. Would love both in the red and black but

Possibly but you never know. Don't think the Crows need a player like Hayward personally, would think midfield class or grunt would be more in their thinking (they went after Gibbs because they wanted some more class alongside Sloane).

Callum Twomey oohhh he knows everything about what we do, particularly Essendon.

Why would gc want another forward?
They already have a football team full of forwards.

[Tippa43]

Marshall not invited to the draft, big chance at 20

Does invited mean that they are 99% chance of going round 1? Or how does it work?

Clubs in the top 10 nominate players that they could take and 15 get chosen to go and players may receive a late call up like Cockatoo did a few years ago. Pretty much means if your not invited your no chance of going top 10

Ohh makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. Interesting for the guys that didnt get invited! Marshall hype!

Yeah the AFL ask the clubs so they can make sure the top 10 is present for the jumper presentation thing haha

Do you have a list of who's been invited aside from the guys you've named as well as the more obvious ones?

 

[Tippa43]

My one crazy prediction is Brodie slips out of 10.

Don't think there's a list, but saw that there's up to 20 players invited

 

[Skipper_]

If Gold Coast are not interested in him I could see him going to North at 11.

 

[efcboy]

Pick 20 is where we can have a massive win. Not overly fussed with pick 1 (the handful of candidates for no.1 are all top notch). It's pick 20 and who slides that holds the most intrigue for me. Todd Marshall at pick 20 would be awesome.

No but my guess would be
