Top 10 predicitions?

[Tigertool]

Would you consider him with our second pick?

I think so, but I'd still be worried. I think he could go to about pick 30. Considering we having 29 & 31 I think he'd be worth the risk on one of those picks.

I don't like the idea of worrying about him his entire career that he could do another knee.

Woops, I completely forgot about Plowman. Straight swap with Shaw.

Plowman is a big chance for top 10. Shaw would have to be a long shot to make it. The rest of the names looking very close, order TBA.

Im hearing lots of good things about plowman. Every single club has spoken to him.

Both his knees have been impact injuries. Could have happened to anyone. If he was an only child he'd still go top 10 IMO.

How did he jump up the pecking order? He's a great size but hasn't done anywhere near enough to warrant a top 10 spot.

 

[Scoop]

I wouldn't be taking The Ploughman at 9. Good sort but not what we need.

I can see the Bullldogs or Demons taking him. Both clubs are so weak in the back half. Hope it happens, pushes another one back to us.

Been injured for large part of the year which makes it hard to do anything. Super talent.

I've talked to a couple of coaches in WA and they don't quite share that view. Talented yes, super talented no.

Oops thought we were talking Plowman. Carry on. You are right Shaw will only go top 10 if it's to Brisbane IMO.

yer, but has happened to his brother also, medical experts say this can be genetic, that injuries are in his make up

 

[Gus]

Anyone willing to give this another look?

 

[Scoop]

Whitfield, Toumpas, O'Rourke, Wines, Grundy, Macrae, Mays, Stringer, Vlastuin, Daniher.

Didn't his brothers just go when he landed? Never saw the second one at VFL level. Troy's went from getting smashed across the knee.

GWS - Whitfield
GWS - Toumpas
GWS - Grundy
Melbourne - Wines
Bulldogs - O'Rourke

Mayes could go to Port though.

You guys really think GWS will take Grundy?
Best ruck from the junior's but do they need him @ 3?

I wouldnt be surprised if they take 3 x mids, they may have to replace 1 or 2 next year at trade time.

Agree. I reckon the Bulldogs grab him, he might even get to Port. The GWS are being smart. Stockpiling midfielders.

Doubtful in my opinion but Port might have a dilemma between him and a couple of others.

If that happens, I will spew up. The Pies are on the verge of opening another window.
