Re: Predict who we will draft

I really feel Macrae suits our side really well, he would be my first pick if Whitfield, Toumpas, O'Rourke and Plowman are all gone.
I have a feeling our second pick will be between Stringer and Menzel. By all reports Wines won't get past pick 5 & 6 though, so I'm guessing he will be the other one. I would prefer Menzel personally as Wines doesn't offer anything that we don't already have. I hope we take the risk.

I'm also think it will be Wines and Menzel,
Pick 22 we'll see what talls are left over, doubt Stringer, O'Brien or Shaw will still be there though, if we 16-18 might have a chance at nabbing one of those.

Probably not the best choice of words if we are going to select Stringer & Menzel!

I will be just a tiny bit disappointed if we end up with Wines.

Doesn't look like we will be getting O'Rourke if that article is to be believed. Wines will be our pick 5 then with Stringer as # 6 or possibly Menzel.

Wines sounds like blueprint of the McCartney game plan so can't see us going past him. By what I have read it is seems a pity we won't be picking up O'Rourke.

Why is that?, don't rate him or too similar?

Certainly has some guns on him.

Not me I'll be very happy.

Not disappointed at all. Best available bases and he is it.

Too similar. Only going on what I've read, he sounds like he's great at what he does but it doesn't seem like he'll add anything very different to our mix. I was really hoping that we could use this draft to add some skills and polish (blah blah blah)

Re: Predict who we will draft

If we can pull off either Toumpas/O'Rourke/Wines at 5 and Menzel at 6, i think we've done very well. Based on the info we have. As with many drafts kids could be absolute stars, then for any given number of reasons never make it at AFL level. Lets hope the stars align for the doggies this season.

It's been said many times Menzel could be the best player in the Draft? I think if his knee concerns weren't there he goes top 2. I think it's worth the Punt at 6, with what else is available.

Re: Predict who we will draft

I wouldn't be upset if we ended up with Wines, provided we picked up some polish with the other picks. With our other inside mids and the possibility of GWS/Gold Coast super teams, making sure we always get the ball first could be a good thing.

Just worth noting, there was an article on the AFL website regarding Koby Stevens that now he's injury free he sees himself as an outside player. I confess I don't know a lot about Stevens, but if the club thinks he can play an outside role, Wines may have a spot after all.

Think it's going to be Wines/ Menzel, Mayes.

If your looking at safe bets, i would say Wines is the obvious one.
The others all have some doubts, whether it be injury or body types.

So picking a safe bet in Wines and a risky bet in Menzel would compliment each other nicely.
