      I suspect they will - and then everything will shake through from there, as to what teams want

        He got Ed Richards (10) picked before Clark (12).

        With all the talks of Fremantle needed a tall and Collingwood talking heavily with Naughton ( and the plead to let him get through to them) I can't see him last until our pick 9. Clark or Naughton would be a hard decision for our recruiting team.

          Ben Sloan at our last pick is an interesting one. I liked up him up forward the little I saw of him, can play off half back as well.

            Callum Twomey tweeted he's still working on his phantom draft, as of 20 minutes ago, for release tonight. He's had all year and a week since dropping his phantom form guide. If it's that difficult to read into clubs and players, Friday night should be fun.

            When I see him post it, I'll put up our 9 & 16.

              Thanks BT, it will be interesting to see if there is some late mail from Cal.

                  Thanks again BT,

                  Pick 9 will infuriate some if we land Naughton and while I would prefer a couple of the others CT nominated it's a good outcome
                  What does surprise me is Stephenson dropping that far. If he is available at pick 9 surely we pick him?

                  Pick 16 with Murphy, L.Fogarty and Higgins sounds great to me equally if we got a 2nd chance at Stephenson you have to take it

                    Twomey says clubs are concerned about Stephenson, particularly at the top end. But if our heart specialists and medico's felt they could manage it, as we did with Eagleton, then I'd no way pass him at 16. Debatable at 9, but there should be little risk on a top 10.

                    The Coffield to Saints thing was confirmed and Higgins to GWS with L. Fogarty to keep Cerra company.

                    We are getting some talent that's for sure.

                      I see that he also mentioned Jackson Ross with us and I genuinely he will become a very good footballer. I can't see him being available for our 3rd selection though.

                      Coffield and Clark make sense for the Saints. How would Bonar slot in for us?

                        Throughout the year we've been linked to Naughton, or interviewing him mid season. Sounds like he's available that we are going that way. As per my posts in other threads, we'd need to move Morris & maybe Roberts (despite a contract) next year to re-balance the list.

                        I'd very happily take Bonar as a project, forward-to-midfielder proposition. Not sure I'd bet on us doing it though.

                          We are going to have the tallest back line in VFL history next year if we take Naughton. Surely you have to draw the line at some point and say we've got enough tall backs. Let's move on to the next best available option.

                          I hope Twomey's wrong and we pick any of the others he has in the mix for us.

                          Murphy, Higgins or Fogarty at 16 would make me happy.

                            If we slightly tweaked Twomey's PD, based on selecting players after his slot. Bonar slots in at 9 (12) & Stephenson slots in at 16 (17). If our medico's signed off on both kids, that's some huge talent incoming to the club.

                                Coffield and Richards interest me as they play the game in an attacking manner and if Stephenson was available he would be hard to pass over unless the medico's have strong doubts but given all that I don't see why if we were to get Naughton it wouldn't be seen a good selection.

                                If Raynor goes pick 1 then Fogarty won't be there for pick 16. If Brayshaw goes pick 1 then Fogarty is a chance for us.

                                Could we even pull a surprise at pick 16?
