The 2014 U18/Draft Thread

[Pkbaldy]

Look at the wing nuts on 18.

[The_Captain]

Forgot to do yesterday's, it was Jake Lever.

Today's player is Harrison Wigg.

Also, if anyone wants to give it a go, here's the full list with silhouettes: http://www.afl.com.au/draft/draft-countdown

Could probably work out a few of them by looks + typing some of the higher rated prospects names' into Google and looking at their pics.  :P

Dyson Heppell. is that you??

Well Tom Lamb is No.19 I'll give you the hot tip.

I don't have a prize.

Chances of Luke Hodges brother, Dylan Hodge finding a new home after the draft?

[Mr.Craig]

I'd say the chances are very low. Even with all the stuff that has got in the way, you can't go drafting someone who has only played 7 TAC games in their career at an average of 6 disposals.

So massive smokey?

Today we have a guy with one of the better first names going around - Touk Miller

[Mr.Craig]

Soon to be a Hawks play if you believe the pundits.

Shouldn't go past about Pick 15, definitely won't be around any further than Pick 20 even though he hasn't played much footy recently - Caleb Marchbank

[Nige]

Also a bit of talk Peter Wright could slip down to Pick 10-ish: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-02/drift-from-the-wright

Doubtful. Pretty sure GWS will pick 2 talls.

Exactly, but they're looking at all their options, particularly tall defenders, including guys like Lever, Goddard etc.

Could be the Brodie Grundy of a couple of years back. Grundy was basically a lock for Top 5 after the U18 Champs, but slipped to #18

There have been question marks raised over Wright's fitness and speed, but he is a brute of a player.

Marchbank will be gone by 15.. Could well be gone by Freo's pick at 13.

But the Crows must have traded Pick 10 for Pick 14 for a reason. Apparently that reason is because Hamish Ogilvie is "certain" our first target will still be there at 14. My money is on us getting Marchbank, if Durdin and Goddard have both gone. Could be Nakia Cockatoo if we're after that outside run though.

Chances of Luke Hodges brother, Dylan Hodge finding a new home after the draft?

Lot of talk about Dylan Hodge lately but TBH I think that exposure is coming cos of his brother. Some drafts have him going Top 30 which I cannot see happening... I haven't seen a LOT of him, but he'll go late draft or rookie pick-up at best  IMO

Today we have a guy with one of the better first names going around - Touk Miller

Someone you know is going to be a gun, wherever he goes. One of those blokes who is worthy of a late first-round spot but hasn't had the hype. I'd love him at the Crows but don't think he fits our needs - our midfield is well-stocked with youngsters and there are more pressing needs elsewhere.

Well I was reading somewhere that he is a really handy golfer. So maybe made the transition a little to late to be able to make it into footy?

Time for the first father-son of the countdown - Zaine Cordy.

[Nige]

Very few reasons not to like or pick him - Liam Duggan
