spirit of norm smith

Its Freeman at pick 9 for me ... but if he is gone, Ben Lennon is my next call.

Billy Stretch will be in red & blue through 2014 draft... lock it in.

your words ... "I have no idea". Time will tell. Lets see what happens and make our judgement. The point to simplify for you is that the SANFL, Vfl & WAFL are full of league players like Brayden O'Hara (Myles Sewell, Freddie Clutterbuck etc etc) that are solid footballers but not up to AFL.

This kid will be drafted. If he is available at 40, get on board.

Guy Page and Shane Edwards are small defenders, don't win the footy enough and dont have enough runs on the board as yet. Both are prospects but I cant see them getting drafted or rookied. If I am wrong, that's life but this my opinion. Yes we all have an opinion. Mckay has not priven his durability. Good state league stock like Brayden O'Hara. Probably seen as not quite up to it. If Barrass is overlooked in the draft, we would be wise to give him a shot. Smart, skilled, he knows when to spoil and when to back himself.

yes thought Riley was worth a punt. I would like us to grab Matt Sully from VFL Cats if he is not drafted. We need more tall defenders.

hope he lasts to pick 40

Scotland OR Yoda ... I choose Yoda.

WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE Mitch Harvey, Nick Holman, Nick Bourke, Chris Cain

Tom Barrass is a left footer, plays in the back 50, great mark (judgement) and spoils strongly. Compared to Josh Gibson in style (not looks - get it).If Edwards, Page and McKay are on AFL rookie lists in 2013, I would be amazed...

pick 57 or rookie

minimum 4 yrs at min. $450, 000 =min $1.8 million. we have lost 3 out of 3 free agents it was not meant to work this way to "equalize" where the rich rob the poor

agree with Billings but how many "jacks" can we have. I doubt Billings will dropdown to be available at pick 9. My options (in order) who I think will be available are Freeman, Lennon, Salem & Sheed.

Freeman looks like a gun ... I like his confidence

Freeman has a mature body, local lad, aggressive, pace to burn ... when was the last player in red and blue with these credentials. He is ready to play round 1 in 2014.

yes you have your opinion and I have my opinion. Acres will not be in red and blue.

Cain at pick 57 for me or a rookie. Not top 40. He is an upgrade on Magner but is a depth player.

Acres is pick 12-20. Much better to choose from in top 10. Plus Acres reminds me of ... Cale Morton. yikes!

http://www.scpaige.com.au/phantom-draft-october-edition/ a very good and detailed view

Yes I agree with Mitch Banner. Heard that he has developed further into a inside mid. Goodoil, ... Page is a small back pocket. Not needed and definitely NOT AFL standard. Todd McKay is a SANFL standard player as well. If you dont have better options, dont shoot down others without constructive replacements.

Freeman is the perfect fit for our team. He has the x Factor... real pace & aggression.

rookie pick ... 2 or 20

agree, we will need some run and carry. That's what Nathan Freeman would offer. Hope we get that kid at pick 9.

Freeman , Lennon, Salem , Crouch ... I will be happy. No skinny ptoject types.
