"On the Cards", heads up about draft prospects

[nostradamus]

This should be good boys (and girls). The AFL is releasing a set of "trading cards" for next years leading draft prospects.

It sounds like it will be a good new source of information for us all

Here's the link to the article ......... http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/137414/default.aspx

look out for Joe Daniher going to be a gun

[Ricochet]

a big +1 there Ricochet. Lets hope they dont start believing everything they read about themselves before they even get a game...eg Couch  :o

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

Lachlan Hunter. You heard it from me first! ;)

[Tominator]

don't forget Jaeger O'Maera and Brad Crouch ;) M5 and M6 locks for start of 2013!

Wonder how inflated the price of those 2 boys will be

[zeddyzed]

Omeara and Crouch wont be inflated, they'll be priced like all the pre selected 17 yr olds, eg Shiel, Treloar. They'll be locks in all teams, along with Viney i imagine. If you want a good heads up on draft stock champion data is always pretty spot on, but a few guys pegged in as top 10's will fall due in the pecking order due to injury and other factors. Just look at Darling! Touted as a top 5 pick at one stage and ended up slipping big time! Eagles did bloody well that draft!

Lachie Whitfield is another future gun, and so now I've already got my mids sorted out for next year :P ahaha

2013 MID: Pendles, Deledio, Boyd, Thompson, O'Maera, Crouch (Viney, Whitfield)

Time to hit the books lads!! 8)

I'm thinking a 3 or 2 players prem mids.

But Thommo is a bit old now. Get some youth like Scotty S.

Thommo still dominating though, and does not look 30 at all. Like your thinking re Selwood, Rory Sloane could be another one in that category
Maybe even Sidey if he is MID-only next year?  (I pray he is DPP!)

Two premiums is probably not enough IMO, cos it would affect your scoring in the MID quite a bit, but three could be alright so you can load up on cows and spend the dosh else where

Melbourne get picks 1 and 2, they don't pick Viney. The next says we want Viney, so the Dees have to take him at the next available pick, which is 22 for them. This is assuming they win like harldy any games and come bottom. :)
