[RUNVS]

Twomey usually is reasonably accurate with this sort of thing as I think he has connections with clubs so he is able to make reasonable guesses on where players are ranked. In saying that though this year has to be tougher than most.

I hope he is right though and most clubs rank Campbell as the 8th best, as that means the Swans are safe from him being bid on before our first pick.

I like the general description of Tanner Bruhn though. Don't know much about him but what Twomey said does indicate he could be a good get for my club.

I think his last one usually reasonable... he seems to wait till as late as possible for all the 'connections" to pass on the hot word..

He usually finds out who is invited to the first round.

Three mids would be a terrible result for Collingwood

 

[RUNVS]

Would take Phillips over DGB personally but I do like them saying Campbell won't be bid on until pick 8 and Gulden not getting bid on in the top 30 picks.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Not sure the logic behind Essendon bidding for Campbell on our second pick of the three and not the first.

Nice - really hope we do reject ess offer. Suns the only ones I would swap with and get 1 of the top 5. Outside of that the raffle begins.

I don’t mind f North pick McDonald, i am hoping for Hollands and with pick 14, I would like Macrae.

 

[McRobie]

DBG a real shyte pick for us. With 0 mids to speak of we need some quality in the middle.

 

[Scham]

Seamus Mitchell the bolter!

 

[Saint Michael]

Three mids would be a terrible result for Collingwood

Thanks fine Saints will take whoever you want to let slide through!

 

[Joao]

**** you Tigers bidding at 20.

 

[Mofra]

DBG a real sh*te pick for us. With 0 mids to speak of we need some quality in the middle.

Aren't your two academy kids this year midfielders?

Florent? Rowbottom? Stephens? Hewett? and getting Campbell...

 

[RUNVS]

Not inside midfielders, and we desperately need inside mids. Plus Gulden could easily end up as a small forward and Campbell as a half forward.

 

[Northwards]

I’d really hope if Nik Cox is on the board with north’s 2nd pick (originally 11) that we would take him over Chapman.

We can afford a 2 year slow burn for what could be equally the best kick in the draft.
has added weight, could easily play 6-14 games at 88kg+ (per SEN interview) next year as an intercepting half back or even occasionally as a winger to get the ball in his hands. Has played forward too. Also 4th in 2km and 3s flat (95% sure) for 20m which is nice for 199-200cm non ruckman.

Personally think Essendon will take him. Which is a shame.
