Bully, do you know someone who works for Richmond? You seem to know this draft and the draftees extremely well man especially the Tigers situation.

Yes, have contact with those in the know. The only reason I post here is that it's generally safe from the media's prying eyes.

Haha fair enough, thanks for the info man. Is it only Richmond? If not what can you tell me about Carlton or even your opinion would be awesome. :P

Blues first preference is Marchbank but he will go early, pick 19 is wide open so it may be a case of waiting to see who slips through, maybe Goddard if he gets that far. Boekhorst is odds on for pick 28, good WAFL player, 21 years old but had a breakout season this year. As for the late picks, not so sure, it really becomes very speculative.

These fellas haven't really been mentioned at all.

As I've said before I won't be disappointed if we grab Corey Ellis as it sounds like he's a very good no-fuss player, but still hoping we nab one of those really classy outside types in Weller, Duggan, Laverde.

Copy & paste malfunction, Dan Richardson basically saying that we're unsure who Collingwood & GWS are selecting but this will determine who we take.

[Toga]

That's good to hear. Makes it sound like we're looking at getting a top talent sliding down to #12 rather than reaching out and taking someone a bit early.

Yep, sounds about right. Geelong's pick will also influence a bit, and obviously West Coast's too.

[elephants]

I think Tiger fans will be hoping Cockatoo and Laverde are both there at pick 11. Only real chance you'd have at getting JL.
