Still leaves Billings!

Can't see it, but then again who thought Grundy would drop down to what was it, 18 last year.

I'm really interested to see what we do, with who's available. As someone posted earlier I wouldn't be surprised if we went for Acres or another pick we have not been linked to, even Dummont maybe. The only real clue we get from Taylor is that we are making our own judgement and won't be influenced by the conventional wisdom of the day. Read that as maybe the media and draft experts could be off the mark.

Whoever we pick, it will have Roosy's approval, that in itself fills me with the only belief i need.

You mention Salem then go on about Sheed as the the best overall player. Which one would you want?

id be happy with either. Probably Salem.

Talk that the Saints might be keen on Scharenberg at pick 3. Assuming that the Dogs will take Bontempelli at 4, GC with KK at 5, Pies seem to be set on Aish at 6 (if Scharenberg is gone) and Brisbane with Freeman, McCarthy and Salem all in the mix for them at 7. Where does that leave Billings? could he make it to us at 9? I assume we would take him and run in this unlikely scenario?

Can't see that happening but would be over the moon Billings in a heart beat have liked him since 2012 when he was underage in the TAC

Its is not long now fellow Demonlanders. I am sure that who Taylor, Viney and Roos select will be a well-informed and astute choice that will surprise many Demonlanders and football commentators.

Given Taylor's pedigree you would expect an astute and thorough choice and Todd seemed to do quite a good job last year. There seems a lot of faith that Roos will wave a wand and that we will definitely get Pick 9 right. Historically that can't be further from the truth. Sydney's record in the 8-16 range was absolutely atrocious when Roos was at the helm.

It's essentially smarts & exceptional disposal vs truly explosive athleticism.

Either way we win.

Simon Black v Kane Tenace.

Yeh, I get you point.

Herald sun has freeman sliding down to 15 as he needs to tidy up his kicking.

Has us taking Salem at 9.

I think (unless someone slides) we will go Salem. God knows we need some great kicks in the midfield esp now Aaron has hung up the boots.

Don't mind the thought of Viney, cross, michie and jones feeding watts, toump and Salem and kicking it down the throat of our big boys.

I always remember Richmond were about to take casissi and baulked

it threw the next 3 teams picking into a frenzy as they quickly had to rethink

wonder if this year picks 1-8 will bring up a furphy that will surprise the draft and make teams do a quick switcheroo and leave an unexpected player at 9

r'oos history says he will want an athlete

btw lewis taylor has been in moonboot for a while

The Hun has us taking Salem but the Age still has us taking Freeman. Either will work for us.

Well, I'm beginning to think that a little bit, but no, it wasn't my point...

It's not all they have, but it's the point of difference between the 2.
