Noticed this on the official AFL site.

Although it is a mock draft based on AFL fans' views, it does provide profiles and footage of the highly rated draft nominees.

Interesting that they've got Port Power redrafting Giles.

Its a definite possibility, a bit may depend on whether Lycett is available at pick 16.

Adelaide Now has done a mock draft of the first round of picks:

Interesting that anyone has. The new interchange rule does not lend itself to playing two ruckmen in a side and for a bloke who had a couple of years to get into the game at AFL level he never did. Many scouts might just remember 2008/2009 and not look that closely at 2010.

Although the interchange rule may not 'allow' 2 ruckman Brogans ageing body and no back up apart from Trengove requires backup/depth so wouldnt be a bad selection at all.

Just to throw some stones in the water with peoples draft predictions, Bruce looks like walking out on the Dees, and John Anthony has also quit Collingwood. I know Carlton are interested in Anthony, as they need KPP. But what about Bruce?

They can bloody have him, i wouldn't take anything for him either.
Bloody useless if you ask me.

Bruce is crazy if he leaves Melbourne as he may not get re-drafted.

The only team that would look at him is the Gold Coast for a bit of experience.

If he does get taken by the Gold Coast, what a stunning move. He's been part of a crap outfit his whole career, who would blame the bloke for cashing in on some funds and sunshine for the last year/two of his career?

It would be more of a story if someone like a Gary Ablett went to the Gold Coast. Imagine how the Cats fans would sulk...

Surely Bruce wouldn't enter the draft unless he had a pretty strong verbal from another club?

Please guys, Bruce is a quality player! He has a couple years left in him and will provide some good service to a side around the mark!

He will 100% get redrafted! Hawthorn looks the likely suitors

Wonder if Callinan will get picked up! He has been invited to train with the Crows and had his first session yesterday!
More likely to be a mature aged rookie though i would think

Here's another phantom draft on the AFL site.

The bloke doing this is a replacement for Matt Burgan who i think is now employed by one of the AFL clubs:

His ranges are wrong.
Has Gaff's range as 4-5, but everyone else is 5+, and the top 3 are all top 3, therefore making Gaff the only chance at 4, so shouldn't range at all.
