The 2014 U18/Draft Thread

Both Langford & De Goey have been invited to the draft, this is great news as it means Collingwood may pull a surprise at 5. Laverde could be the wildcard here, there's an outside chance he'll drift out of the top 10.

From what I know the top 5 is looking to now be: Petracca, Brayshaw, McCartin, Pickett, Laverde/De Goey.

It means hypothetically it could end up something like:

Petracca
Brayshaw
McCartin
Pickett
Laverde
De Goey
Goddard
Duggan
Moore
Lever

Pickett? when did he start becoming top 5?

Who do they normally invite to the draft? The expected Top 10 players?

Replace Laverde with Langford and everything changes, there could also be some bombshells with McCartin, nothing is clear cut.

They always invite extras, Marchbank is in there too.

Would be criminal for teams to let Laverde slip past Pick 10.

I will happily gobble him up at 12 if that happens.

[elephants]

If Laverde was there at 11 we would absolutely take him. Had a dream about that exact thing a few nights ago actually hahaha. Really cant see it happening though.

[meow meow]

I heard he has issues about leaving the Western side of Melbourne so he's going to slide to pick 26

Very possible, but in that scenario Richmond should be able to secure Weller.

He was my man for a while before his name was being mentioned a top 5 chance, I still really want him. Basically conceded that it won't happen though.

Never say never, there's a few twists in this draft yet, as I mentioned earlier McCartin may not be the lock that everyone thinks. The only 2 certainties are Petracca & Brayshaw.

Jourdan Canil's latest phantom draft is very, very interesting. Quite a bit different from some other ones. http://boundforglorynews.com/jourdan-canils-november-phantom-draft/

Clem Smith to Hawthorn? No, just no.

Actually, I don't like any of his picks for us.

[Nige]

That's exactly why I can't wait, there are sure to be some surprises.

Just four more days...

Swans would be very happy with Vjolo-Rainbow!  :o

Don't panic, I can't see Smith going to Hawthorn.
