The National and Pre Season Drafts

[Yencks 8]

PICK 4: Trent Cotchin

PICK 14: Scott Selwood

PICK 21: ?

PICK 53: Cyril Rioli

PICK 69: Luke Casey-Leigh

PSD PICK 3: Ben Mckinley (possible?)

Any ideas ???

[Jaded No More 68,799]

Channel 10 reported that Cale Morton is almost certain to be drafted by Richmond with pick 2.

That means that the Eagles are the only club standing in our way of getting Cotchin.

Now given what Cotchin's dad had to say about his son moving West, there is a chance that West Coast will go for a local WA kid.

Cross your fingers and toes that things pan out this way and we land Cotchin. That would be an absolute miracle!

[Freak 100]

i cant stand people on this board sometimes. cotchin, selwood and rioli? hahaha. all 3 are potential first rounders..cotchin is a definate top 3, rioli and top 15 and selwood a top 30. keep dreaming.

That was [censored], a complete and utter media beatup. They will take him at Pick 3 if he doesn't go at Pick 2.

Surely Selwood wont be still available at 14?

If so he is a must as he is apparently the best out of the lot of them.

I've heard that too, but I've heard elsewhere (and the fact that most mock drafts have him 10+ would seem to agree with this) that in fact Joel is the best. The other three are regarded primarily as tagging players; Joel is the only one with natural creativity and a bit of genius.

Remember we dreamed with Judd the 6 million dollar man and we got hurt so badly.

haha...sorry mate, i put question marks there for a reason...im no expert but i have seen rioli play a number of times and could be a good pick up, thats why i put him in but i cant imagine hes gonna go too early

As I said on my Cotchin thread he will get to us only if Tigers take Morton and Eagles are scared, after Judd situation, in risking another Victorian with their first pick. Given the comments in the paper they have every reason to be concerned as Cotchin could do a Judd after two years.

Not sure where you're going with Monaghan as he only played a couple of good games this year with Sandy.

Shane Valenti however would be a great steal as maybe a 4th round pick.

Lets hope CAC can snare Stefan Martin as a rookie because he is a skillful mobile ruckman.

[dazzledavey36 54,002]

scott selwood isn't as good as people think!

[WonnaJurah 5]

there still 8 teams to delist players from team as well, so could be a big list as usual

I see Stefan Martin as a replacement for ferg'/holland. too small for a true ruck.

[dazzledavey36 54,002]

no but big enough for a forward and i tell you what he knows how to play it aswell

[occo 2]

scott selwood isn't as good as people think!

agreed. he has been said to be the worst of the brothers. I wouldnt touch him. Hes a tagger at best

[occo 2]

as for me

National Draft

pick 4 - Palmer ~ expect richmond or WCE to take cotchin regardless of where he came from. Remember WCE didnt do too bad out of the trades i dont believe with questionmarks over Judds OP. I wouldnt be supprised if Carlton take cotchin too...unlikely but O'Halpen is being moulded as the next ruckman in my opinion.

Pick 14 - Bellchambers ~ simply because we need another ruckman. Hes 199cm and great in the ruck at tap work. Can go forward and take a mark and kick a goal. Jamar is not up to standard and i have reservations on Johnson. White is retiring soon so Meesen and Bellchambers should be the next 2 youth ruckman.

pick 21- Collier - Looks good in midfield and down back. Played as CHF but at 193cm hes too small. He birsts the lines tho and could be used on the flank.

Pick 53 - Jones ~ in and under midfielder

Pick 69 - Not sure to be honest

Pre Season Draft:

Pick 3 - Darren Pfeiffer

[Yze_Magic 3]

The Dees are chasing Jared Brennan

Good news

PSD PICK 3: Ben Mckinley???(possible??)

Any ideas..........

Kruezer at pick 21...definitely

Good news

I don't even know why I take anything you say seriously, but if we can get Brennan for nothing (i.e.- PSD), and Bailey manages to put a rocket up him, he could be worth a try.

However, if Matthews couldn't discipline him, I doubt anyone else could. Remember Cupido?

With Richmond and Carlton ahead of us in the PSD it's highly unlikely that a player like Brennan would fall to us at pick 3 in the PSD.

Even if Brennan wants $1m as reported in the Courier Mail (Jared Brennan's future clouded) the Blues would find a way to fit him into their salary cap. They have plenty of room after ditching Whitnall.

I have a feeling however, that there might be a larger than usual crop of players out there including some rare jewels available at the top end of the PSD and I suspect that this is the time when CAC probably is going to be working his hardest talking with managers and persuading players who are in the mix to make themselves available. Who knows, it might even be worth leaving two places open for PSD picks if clubs are delisting to stay within the salary cap and other reasons.

[Adzman 2,154]

Rioli at 53? Surely he will have been taken by then!

pick 53 cyril??? yencks mate he will go top 20

casey leigh though...love to have lukey playing for the dees!

[Red and Blue Flame 179]

dont forget gilchrist. rennie is a good player. played with sandy ones this year..having been overlooked at last years draft...caulfield grammar boy..mates with his brother. has worked hard this year, after school to keep training and get games with the sandy ones along side valenti, ferg, paul johnson, and our other vfl players
