It's January 2012 and the players are training their butts off for the coming season. The Demons have just lost the man who has, for the past four years, been in charge of rebuilding their talent-laden young list and, at this point in time, we have no national recruiting manager. Is this our worst nightmare and a time to panic? No way! If Phil Scully can get paid $100k to be a recruiting scout then I'm prepared to do it for nothing and come to the club's rescue with your help and the aid of bigfooty draft expert Knightmare who has already produced a Mock Draft for September's draft. I realise it's an important gig because we could have as many as three first round draft picks in what is a sensationally strong draft pool. I'll kick things off by recommending that the club takes talented father/son prospect Jack Viney and this will most likely cost us our first draft pick. From there, I'm going to let the power of social networking and the Internet to take over. You too can be our own Phil Scully but don't get your appetite up too much because, unlike GWS, we don't have the AFL's deep pockets to pay you and you might have to go hungry doing a job for the love of the club. As I said above Knightmare on bigfooty has kicked off with his 2012 mock draft. Knightmare outlined the strength of the pool by noting that it has already lost two of its best in the GWS Minidraft and a 2011 Under 18 All Australian to the Giants through a Northern Territory Zone Selection:- Knightmare's 2012 Mock Draft is for the First Round based on ladder predictions and I will set it out in my next post.
