if it ain't broke

which could mean we end up with parish AND oliver

bu you can choose the obvious top 2 picks and two academy players #pollfail

Is there any reason to believe it won't be round 1, 2016?

That's the way I read it, almost like an apology, sorry about that, i'll do better

Feels to me that its our choice Parish/Oliver and the bombers will deffo take the other. Then Francis is the clear best of the remainders, so the top 5 is pretty locked in.

correct, edited

I'm not sure what 'authority' you are looking for but that's incorrect Emma Quayle, Herald Sun Callum Twomey, AFL Brett Anderson, SEN Sam Landsberger, Herald Sun ALL have us taking Oliver and Weideman http://www.smh.com.au/afl/trading-and-drafting/who-will-your-club-pick-in-the-afl-draft-20151123-gl5zr3.html http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-24/callum-twomeys-2015-phantom-draft http://www.sen.com.au/news/11-15/bretts-final-2015-afl-mock-draft#EZxsrLM4D81pRgV6.97 http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/afl-draft-2015-sam-landsberger-predicts-how-the-top-10-will-unfold/news-story/6bd08586731275f0441b2509b1fe062e suggests that some sort of cat has gotten out of some sort of bag

I would suggest that in fact something HAS been leaked. In the last few days it's suddenly been all aboard the Oliver train

just breezed through a whole bunch of phantom drafts on bigfooty and a bunch of the media ones too... washup seems to be heavily favoured towards Oliver/Weideman... it's hard to say though to what extent that is just people changing their position based on following others

it's not 1973 the game has changed

agreed. and even if the bombers do take oliver well then wejust get to choose out of francis/curnow/weideman but to leave parish at 4 then we lose him to the bombers for sure

Good idea. Now in 2 years time we can have something to refer to when hindsight heroes start claiming they knew picking X was a mistake and we should have gone with Y

Jones is very close surely

and to watch the official mfc 'welcome/highlights/interview' videos on draft night... that's when S gets real

tyson, salem, viney, brayshaw, hogan, cross, vince, harmes, garlett, vandenberg, stretch, ANB, frost ... we have kicked a LOT of goals with the personnel we have recently brought in/developed at the club. Fills me with great confidence that we will continue in this vein.

Could be, BUT I have to periodically remind myself to come back down to earth. It is always the case that we build ourselves up between the months of september and march, but I can't forget how disappointed I was in our performances after the Geelong win. In those last 9 matches we were pretty bloody awful for about 7 of them. I left at half time a couple of games because I simply could not stand it. Just keepin' it real.

It's almost like we're a real club or something

A montage of phone calls and paperwork I'd watch it :D

Just need Hogan's

it really does seem like a world away from the day Neeld was sacked, in all aspects of the club fingers crossed it's not another false dawn

Totally agree. We need more midfield class. What some people don't seem to realise is that mathematically speaking we will lose the services of some our current stock due to injury, defection and just plain failure to develop. Not all of Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca, Tyson and Salem are going to be star mids for us.

how can they be certain who is going at 4/5/6? Especially since whoever we take at 3 will impact what is taken at 4/5/6?

Best and fairest chance for mine
