Closest to the pin ...

12. Ben Jacobs

33. Lucas Cook

50. Ben Newton

53. Pass

[beelzebub 23,377]

hmm.. I hestitate about another Newton...lol

Id be taking Darling ahead of Jacobs, but think another team will be tempted, poss GC just for the hell of it.

12 Gorringe

33 Lucas Cook

50 Alex Johnson

53 Troy Davis

[Dee tention 616]

I had a dream the Dee's took Jed Lamb at Pick 12. Snuffed out the Hawks!

12. Billie Smedts (if Smedts is gone. Watson wouldn't be a surprise!)

I wouldn't have the foggiest idea on our remaining picks. Possibly Callum Sinclair unless we decide too rookie list him. Remaining picks would most likely be 190cm+ players.

I think we will get a very good player at Pick 12 either way.

[beelzebub 23,377]

btw 33 a pass at 53. That infers a PSd pick... whom ? as part of your foretelling that is

[robbo24 66]

12. Heppell

33. Darling

50. Fitzgerald

53. Pass

I feel that the club likes using the pre season draft pick. It gives them an extra few weeks to assess who is left and pull out a smokey or sorts. Whether it is a Stefan Martin or Liam Jurrah who knows but it seems to be their way.

Every single year BP reads out a name that surprises the hell out of us armchair experts. With that in mind:

12. Brodie Smith

33. Cameron Guthrie

50. Ben Brown

53. Jordan Shroder

If I get 2 out of 4 I'm considering it a win.

[Range Rover 1,935]

12. Jack Darling

33. Ben Jacobs

12. Tom Lynch

33. Jack Darling

53. Kirk Ugle

12. Heppell

33. Jacobs

50. No idea.

53. Pass (we've done well at the PSD over the last three years, I think the club likes it. But there's every chance we'll go again at 50).

[stranga 328]

i doubt Jacobs will slide as low as 33. Surely a Key position player in there somewhere.

12. Heppell

33. Cook

50. No idea

53. pass

One can only hope!!!

Here's mine:

53- NFI???

[BAMF 4,353]

12 - Brodie Smith

33 - Luke Mitchell

50 - Josh Walker

53 - Cameron O’Shea

Honestly don't think Mitchell will be available at 33. We might take him at 12 which will surprise.

This is really hard this year. So many players might slide to pick 12 that we would take.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

I got nothing. I think this one is too close to call and relies too much on what the GC do with their early picks. If I were them I'd be basing it on needs more than BA, so it could get very interesting.

[e25 5]

12 - Heppell

33 - Luke Parker

50 - Zac Fitzgerald

53 - Josh Walker

My dream draft:

12 - Heppell

33 - Jacobs

50 - Luke Mitchell

53 - Troy Davis

[Daz's Dee's 113]

Too bloody hard so many quality players even out too the 3rd and 4th rounds there will be some suprises no doubt as it all depends which way the gc go! I'm pretty pumped will be watching tonight and in my very bias opinion pick 12 is the most interesting as the fd could be very surprised on players they would bank on going earlier so my guess is they will have half a dozen players of genuine interest. For what it's worth I really want jack darling but as someone else posted if he slipped to 33 hell yes I will be happy

[hayz 27]

I think we will end up with 2, possibly 3 of these guys. I would still love to get Jack Darling though, but i dont think the Dees are interested in him at all.

12. Dyson Heppell or Ben Jacobs

33. Luke Mitchell or Lucas Cook

50. Jeremy Howe or Callum Sinclair

53. Kirk Ugle or Josh Jenkins

[The Great One 99 125]

12. Tom Lynch. ( Jack Darling if Lynch gone)

33. Josh Walker

I dont really have any idea, but I do hope Lynch gets through to us.

I dont think we will take Heppell.

Go Dee's!!

[H_T 3,047]

Who knows...?

12 - T. Lynch or B.Smith

32 33 - B. Smedts

49 50 - G. Morlin-Smith

52 53 - ?C. Sinclair

Here's mine from the Draft Pick thread a month or so ago. Updated.

[e25 5]

Still not bad HT.

I'd be happy with that, providing 53 was a KPP.

Lynch would be better than Brodie Smith too.

[old55 23,590]

My dream draft:

12 - Heppell

33 - Jacobs

50 - Luke Mitchell

53 - Troy Davis

Heppell and Jacobs sound like they play similar roles - hard to see how this would be a dream outcome. All things being equal with us selecting the best player particularly at early picks a dream outcome would be to solve as many holes in the list as possible. I agree that the role they play is a need so one would be great but there's other needs like a fwd/ruck, small defensive back and outside midfield line-breaker.

[Dannyz 2,759]

12. Pitt

33. Sinclair

50. Delaney

[H_T 3,047]

Still not bad HT.

No doubt. My basis for Lynch is GC already have Dixon and Fraser and will have Day in their back pocket as well. Plus perhaps Gorringe. Anyway I have Smith as my second option - mid/half back.

[Clintosaurus 7,849]

12 - Dyson Heppell

Lynch, Darling, Heppel

Tallish outside midfielder, exquisite kicking skills

Tallish HBF, line breaker, Left Footer, exquisite kicking skills

Sinclair

I've gone with best available.

Mitchell covers needs in terms of forwards.

I think there's room in the side for both Heppell & Jacobs, even though they are similar types.

I think it shows how little I rate the KPP around 33.

Any taken there have just as much chance of coming good as one taken at 50.

Possibly switch Jacobs with Guthrie and you have your small defender.

I just really like Jacobs and it's like I said in a thread last year:

"it's a shame scully and trengove are both so good, because it means there's no chance we'll pick Dustin Martin"

Now look at him.
