Are you saying we would pick Caddy over Curtin? Cal had us taking Curtin if he's still available at pick 6. I doubt Caddy would have been taken before pick 6, although Cal did later link Caddy to the Dees.

That’s what I’ve heard.  I reckon I might have the top 10 by the weekend

Do you know a player manager, D11?

Reid, Walter, McKercher, Duursma
Hawks: Watson
Dogs: Sanders
Dees: Caddy or Curtin
GWS: Windsor, (Caddy taken) or Curtin
Geel: Curtin/(Caddy taken)/ O’Sullivan/ Wilson/ Leake
Ess: O’Sullivan/(Windsor, Caddy taken)/Wilson/Hardeman
Adel: Wilson/O’Sullivan (taken)
With an Ethan Read bid some where.

Rough attempt at amalgamating your mail with Cal Twomey’s. 

If the Hawks and Dogs picks start to filter through before the draft the focus will switch towards our choice. 

Curtin seems the hardest to place, could go 5, 7-13. Us and GWS might prioritise needs, so my guess is the Cats grab him.

It’s probably @Ethan Tremblay

Speaking of Caddy, here is an interview, including highlights, on Gettable, from about 5.30 in..

Hopefully Leake is available at 11 for us

I doubt it. Sheehan is very inaccurate in these drafts each year.

Was in a restaurant 1 night in 2008, Sheehan was at the next table, asked him If Nic Nat would look good in a dees strip, he said, " Believe me the best player in the draft is Jack Watts", He goes on Hype not smarts, if he says we will pick someone, then hopefully we don't.

I think GWS really like Leake from the reports I've read and he's certainly in contention according to their list manager.

[Mach5 4,768]

I was told 2 months ago we were heavily into Duursma, Watson & Caddy. I took it with a grain of salt. Maybe some truth there?

I just don’t see it myself.

Yeh they’re probably the danger. I feel moving up to 11 with all those picks will be a waste if we don’t get Leake or Windsor

Caddy or Curtin?! Curtin every day of the week if that’s a choice.

Yes

According to Cal T. :

”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

Take it if we get offered it.

Why?

You get a player this year, who could get you Reid in a couple of years and even if not, is the type of player we need and you have him now.

WC could rise a few spots and you don’t know who is where next year and you are a year behind in development of a player.

Not for me.

At first I was against this, but over time I’m warming to the idea. I’ll happily leave it in the hands of JT and TL.

The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...
