Plenty will still change - But is there a mini breakaway of 9 players happening? At least in Leysy's mind there is.

In no particular order:

Levi Ashcroft
FoS
Big Willie Smillie
Leo Lombard
Mick Jagga
Sam Lawler
Sid Vicious Draper
Murphy Reid
Luke Trainor

No doubt others will still jump up and plenty will have favs like Allan, Langford, Sims and Co in that group. But is the across-the-board consensus that is the current elite group and there is a slight gap to the rest emerging?
Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure Lalor is pronounced Smiley




😁





I'll show myself out...

If we take that as a given, right now I reckon the first six go like this... take out Ashcroft and Lombard, they are in this mix somehow.

1 Richmond Fos/Smillie
2 Norf Trainor/Smillie
3 West Coast Smillie/Draper
4 Crows - Draper/Smillie
5 St Kilda - Smillie/Smith
6 St Kilda- Reid /Smith

Crows and Saints might swap. But reckon the bottom three is locked.
So you don't think FOS is Top 6 (!) unless Tigers take him ??

Hardly a clear No1 then.

You have Smil in all your top 5 options.

That sounds like a clear No1
 
The way this is panning out, Brisbane and GC both must prepare for a bid at 1 to make sure of getting their men. There's a chance they both could go at 1, they are not favourites to but at the same time its by no means a long shot, and we have a history of bidding hard and bidding early.
Bidmond.

The tactic finally pays off.

Yes

Posh is all over it.

To isolate brisbane, back of the envelope;

current picks 12, 50, 62, 68 = 1723 points

Ashcroft, say pick 2 (1-5), 2517-20% = 2012 (that hurts typing that)
Marshall say pick 12 (10-18), 1268-20%= 1015 (" ")

They need 3027pts, they have 1723. They need to find a pick 10s worth of points, a pick 6 worth to be safe.
It shows what absolute BS the 20% discount is. It adds insult to injury.

I think FOS goes one to us as a lock.

Smillie I don’t know where he goes in the top 5.
