Not sure about us going after Durdin though.

Yep, I still can't see us taking anything other than a speedy winger in this draft tbh.

While Durds obviously oozes talent, a tall defender isn't high on our list of needs this year (we're already going to have a dilemma fitting Chaplin, Grimes and Astbury into two positions), and I don't think he'll big enough to ruck much at AFL level. Wright (as a ruckman) might come under consideration but still think we'd be crazy to pass up on one of those speedy outside types this year.

Still think Blair and co would be crazy to pass up on Weller if he was still available at #12.

Well I don't really see us picking up 4 midfielders. 3 if you make Petracca a fwd flank. Wouldn't complain with the 2 from SA (Neal-Bullen and Gore), Would be better off getting McDonald or McKenzie, need a few more big boys.

This is great!

That actually looks pretty accurate imo :o

Saw your comment on Reddit and thought "Wonder if he's posted it to FF yet?". :P

Hahahaha, never in doubt.  ;)

Only because it's got us getting Weller right?  :P

I'd be ecstatic if we landed Gore!

That'd be crazy if he got to 40.

remember Shaun Hampson struggled for games at the tiges

He struggled for games after being dropped for just not knowing how to football.

I still don't have a prize for Craig, but he got Tom Lamb right.

Very interesting, I still think DVR is too high and Daniel McKenzie too low, Dmac is one of my favourites from this draft and I would be all over him at pick 33 if available.

I think I'm the only person in Australia who would select Brayshaw at pick 1, to me he's way more bankable than Petracca and will end up captaining Melbourne if that's where he lands.

The enigma of the draft. What he can do is frightening, just needs to do more of it. Very similar to Jared Brennan
