Daffy Suggests
24. Pat Karnezis (Oakleigh Chargers): Is a talented half-forward with x-factor who leads forward and back. He has only just given up soccer for footy.

15. JED LAMB

(Gippsland Power, 18, 181cm, 79kg)

Mr X factor. The plethora of midfielders available could see him slip down the order, but has huge natural talent and the ability to turn a game. As a forward, is a smart lead who can kick goals from all imaginable angles. Knows how to get involved on a wing too. Likeable, enthusiastic and, while flashy, is also very determined.

■Where will he be picked?

A chance in the late teens, perhaps to North Melbourne or Hawthorn. Beyond there, could be considered by Sydney at No. 21 or St Kilda at No. 24.

Lamb would be a huge get for this club. Milne won't be around forever and we don't exactly have a lot of exciting options at the small forward spot. IMO he'd be a steal at 24. I just have a hard time believing that he'll still be there when we pick. It's not like he's tiny.

Severe doubts Prestia or Lamb will be around come #24.

I'm worried we're going to get Wayde Skipper.

There will be quality at Pick 24. There is close to 30 really good prospects and while Lamb or Prestia might get picked up earlier, it means someone else will slide, maybe Caddy or Smith. There will also be a few bolters who haven't really been talked about. Tape has really pushed into contention and now will most likely be taken mid to late teens, leaving more draftees for the saints.

Yes looks good... but may not be there at 24.

But yes would think that they would be looking at that style of player as we already have Steven and Armo.

Harper may be a more likely end result.

Hope so. We've certainly got the picks.

When I mentioned Skipper (or any other recycled player for that matter) I meant further down the draft line. Lyon is an absolute certainty to take one of them, at least.

i agree that we'll take one. skipper's not nominated for the national draft though, so it won't be him.

[gringo]

Prestia might be around but Lamb is less likely. A few always slip down the order though.

[rogerwa]

one thing in our favour is we dont have a 1st round pick

take out hayes,reiwoldt,goddard & dal santo & the rest have ended up as a mixture of gops & duds

beetham,kossi,ball,both clarkes,armitage,mcqaulter,bloody watts & brookes & chuck in lovett for good measure & i'm more than happy with pick 24 than pyssing another top ten up against the wall

[borderbarry]

I agree that Pick 24 is not normally a first round pick, but it is for this and next season.
