Good crack mate!! Like it, this years draft is so hard to pick. Ed Richards your big bolter??

My only real problem with it, would be i could never see Carlton passing on Rayner. They'd be licking their lips if he ended up to him.

Cheers mate! Yeah I like Richards, and I can see GWS looking towards life after Heath Shaw.

There have been some knocks on Rayner's fitness which is why I have him slipping to pick 4 and I keep seeing Dow linked with Carlton, if Brisbane take Dow over LDU, then I think Carlton would take Rayner.

Oskar Baker ? that's not Heath Shaw is it ? lol

Some Bias showing MS.    Higgins to 11 for Carlton.    Would be a great result for the blues if they can get him.
Why would North take Cerra over Brayshaw given their gigantic sinkhole in their mids?  Would think Brayshaw would be the  better long term option.
Are there two Fogarty's as you have dogs at 9 and Brissie at 18 taking Fogarty!

yep Darcy and Lachlan

seems like the Saints will definitely pick Coffield if he's still there, not sure about the other one. hopefully Cerra is available at our picks!
