Allen to West Coast is firming, think they have their eye on a host of mids in the second round. Constable maybe there at 17 but I would be disappointed if that costs us Balta. I also think we need back-up for Astbury, Sam Taylor is the perfect player at 20. At 25 I'm still working out the best option out of Worpel, Garner & Bailey. Might not even have to decide if Naish gets a bid. At 52 & 54 I'd like Dixon & Hayden. I'd also look at Meek with a late pick.
Guess it depends on where in the top 20 clubs rate Naishy n whether they need to consider a small / medium flanker type or a KPP with their available choice. Go home factor also comes into consideration if you an interstate club trying to snaffle a F/S.Gus said:
With our picks being nicely bunched at 17, 20, 25 it probably doesn't leave much room for another club to try and force our hand, unless someone wants to risk an " early " bid for him.
Cheers for your thoughts, keeps those not in the loop such as myself up to date & i like to have a fair idea of who we call out on Draft night & what they offer etc. will post Top 25 once it's posted.bullus_hit said:
on Clavarino i saw the game at Punt Rd he played "mainly as Naish was playing & thought his intercept marking to be very good that day. hope Worpel does slide to the 50's we could cash in again. he compliment Graham well?
Think from memory we can only take 5 (only 5 spots left on list) so would he slide to Rookie Draft or is he worth our 5th pick?bullus_hit said:

Just on going over the selections I think clubs like Fremantle, Hawthorn & Essendon will be all over him in the forties. Fremantle flew him over for a chat with Rossy so they're keen. Hawks & Bombers need more steel in the midfield as well. If we want him we'll need to grab him at 25.

I'd take him at 74 or rookie, just think there's better prospects around the 50's. My template would be something like this -
17. Balta
20. Taylor/Naish
25. Taylor/Naish
52. Kyron Hayden
54. Hugh Dixon
or
17. Balta
20. Taylor
25. Worpel/Garner/Bailey
26. Naish
74. Meek
Bully this Hayes Character, is he got a bit of Griffo or Tyrone about him if so, we should be looking elsewhere should'nt we it seems he is linked with us everywehere.
Id rather take a Balta and Taylor and shore up the defence going forward in one fell swoop as you have alluded to.
Hunter Clarke sounds interesting would he be around the mark
What about other talls like Paech or Miller later in the draft would they be rookie possibilities ...cheers

Will be interesting to see what happens with this kid. Seems he was a rock solid top ten selection before the info about his ticker hit the market. Wonder how big an impact this has n how far he slides before a club pulls the trigger n snaffles him regardless of potential future health issues.
Shouldn't that be after 25 SCOOP? Get to pick whoever we want with our first three picks n then scam Naishy with something in the fifties. That'd be a flaming massive bonus draft for the reining premiers.SCOOP said:

If Stephenson or Bonar are available at our #17 - It should be a no brainer you pull the trigger

Hunter Clark I like, beautiful on both sides but lacks composure in the clinches. He's just finding his way as an onballer but there's excellent scope. His TAC form in the latter half of the season saw him become a hardened clearance winner, but I tend not to get too carried away with feats at this level. i'd definitely give serious consideration to picking him up at 17, particularly if the talls are off the board. As for Paech & Miller, both works in progress, Paech is a rookie pick, Miller third round to rookie. Miller's athletic profile is very tempting but you'd want him to become a forward/ruck and not the other way around. That will be the challenge for any team that picks him up.

Should the AFL's Draft Machine be up by now? Where are you all finding videos of the draftees as what's available on youtube seems very random and disjointed this year?

Thanks Taz. I've been checking in on the AFL's front page link to the Draft Hub and there's barely been any new content and quite a bit of last year's content still. No reference that I can see to the draft machine. Got it now though.
