Ok now that the draft order is finally set here's my prediction up until Melbourne's final pick.

1. Tom Scully (Melbourne)

2. Jack Trengove (Melbourne)

3. Dustin Martin (Richmond)

4. Anthony Morabito (Fremantle)

5. Ben Cunnington (North Melbourne)

6. Gary Rohan (Sydney)

7. Kane Lucas (West Coast)

8. Luke Tapscott (Port Adelaide)

9. James Craig (Port Adelaide)

10. Koby Stevens (Essendon)

11. John Butcher (Melbourne)

18. Lewis Jetta (Melbourne)

Mmmm a bit biased....looks like you've based it around who yiou want at Melbourne's picks. Port would take Butcher ahead of Craig, fo' sho. Jetta won't last to pick 18

How much do you know about Black? Pretty keen to hear about him as no one really knows much about him

I know that he is very competitive, tall,strong, has a good footy brain and showed he can play with the older blokes too.

can take a mark and kicking is good also

True, they are the players that I'd like to see at Melbourne but I think there's a very strong chance it could pan out this way. Port have shown over the years their preference to draft South Australians over other states players due to the go home factor, eg Hartlett last year at pick 4 ahead of Rich. Which is why I think there's a strong chance they'll take Craig, also it's been well publiciced their desire for ruckman and they didn't do anything to address that during trade week.

As for Jetta getting to 18, I agree will be a tough ask, but if some teams are put off due to the fact they'd be drafting a 20 year old instead of a 18 year old then he'd be in with a chance of falling through.

we wont get jetta - he will go top ten.... i would think to the eagles!!!

interesting you dont have Taylor in there.... he might be a little troubled bu he is a super player - i would love to get him at 34

Black also might be a better fit for us than butcher - he is strong, crashes packs and loves a contest (i might be wrong here, but i have my concerns over butcher's work rate/head space)

Yeah it'll be interesting to see where Jetta goes I agree, could be as high as 7 or as low as 20 IMO. I know West Coast are tossing up between him and Lucas.

I had Troy Taylor in at pick 28, or were you refering to Mitchell Taylor?

As for Balck I agree there's a strong chance we may draft him at pick 18, I think it depends on who we draft at pick 11.

Most people seem set on Scully and Trengove at 1 and 2. Most people seem set on KPP's at 11 and 18 and most people seem set on Dylan Grimes at 34. Few people have us picking beyong 34.

I have to say regarding using later picks, if Majak Daw was still up for grabs with our 4th round pick I'd like us to take him. Obviously this would depend heavily on how much room we have on our list, but I think he'd be worth a punt as a late pick. I'm a big fan of his but I have to concede he's not good enough/ready to go high early in the draft.

He is making all the right noises. That description sounds very appealing. Going only off my internet knowledge, if Butcher is not there at 11 I'm hoping we draft Black.

butcher definately won't be there at 11. either sydney or port would take him before us, most likely port because they can get a mid with one pick and butcher with another.

jetta i believe will be an eagle with 7 - if they go Lucas he might slip to 11 but i doubt it!! if he does we must take him

Troy Taylor i meant - he is a gun but has off field issues... hes attractive though due to us having davey, aussie, jurrah, jamie, nev. They could be a good influence on him! he is a star player.....

we should take Black if he is available at 11 and Butcher is gone! i think he is as good as butcher

Sydney have locked in Rohan according to one of the draft camp video's at AFL.com.au
