Adelaides Picks Today - Thoughts

[Wayne's-World]

Listening to Sen Radio and very excited about this day

Surely there is enough demand for a "live" television feed:confused:

[Wayne's-World]

Scott Clayton just saying on Sen that he's got a smoky in mind for pick 11 - will be interesting - decoy or genuine? TWT

[Stiffy_18]

I was going to start this thread myself but you beat me to it.

I am pumped as always :D

I can't connect to SEN coverage so I am starting for the AFL.com to start

[Eggzoi]

My bad, read down.

Stiffy, Sen is not allowed to broadcast on the net on weekends - you can never get it

[Eggzoi]

I got through to the Afl.com.au coverage, which is just SEN anyway. Although Telstra is doing a poor job of giving it out, for a company of that size bandwidth shouldn't be an issue whatsoever in Aus.
Anyway, I had to use IE to get it to work, in case anyone is trying with another browser.

[Stiffy_18]

This is giving me the ********s.

I can't get any sort of feed from the afl. All I get is the completely white pop up window and nothing esle :mad:

Same every year isn't it?

[johnnypanther]

f..... i came into the office to get Sen on the internet but nothing

and we only have dial -up internet so i assume i cant even get the afl.com feed either

so i'll have to rely on big footy boards progress (the only other option is 5AA but judging by previous years their coverage and their knowledge of draft players even the SA based ones is sh..thouse.

[Wayne's-World]

I won't feed all picks but I will post all Sth Aust Picks - hope that helps;)

Try this, in Internet Explorer, and make sure you have flash installed.
I've got everything working just fine.

[Stiffy_18]

Same every year isn't it?
Last year I couldn't get on because my firewall was stopping the pop up windows. Now I disables the bastard and I get the pop up window but it stays white for ever.

I listened to it last year after I disables the firewall. Thats not working this year :mad:

[McLeodMagic]

Marc Murphy went at 1.
Dale Thomas went at 2!
Xavier Ellis went at 3.
Josh Keneddy went at 4.
Scott Pendlebury went at 5.
Beau Dowler went at 6.
Patrick Ryder goes at 7.
JON goes at 8.
Mitchell Clark goes at 9.
Marcus Drum goes at 10.

[McLeodMagic]

Shaun Higgins goes at 11.
Nathan Jones goes at 12.
Shannon Hurn gone at 13. :(

[Eggzoi]

********en hell, Hurn is SLIDING. COME ON!!!

EDIT: BUGGER.

[RooDog]

would someone be able to keep us updated with all the picks?? i think the one in the DnT board is a bit dodge and would rather get it from a fellow crows supporter.... i dont have broad band:o

[Stiffy_18]

Dowler at 6 is a bit of a risk IMHO

[Wayne's-World]

Shannon Hurn - pick 13 West Coast:mad:

[Stiffy_18]

Shannon Hurn - pick 13 West Coast:mad:
We will get Pfeiffer then ;)

[johnnypanther]

my final thought on player selection is that if Varcoe is still there at 16/17 i would select him - very bottom age, has pace which we lack, has shown already that he can play SANFL level, has the x factor which may make him one of the stars of the future

i believe Hughes is overrated (in so far as a 16/17 pick is concerned) - he is top age, only 16 months younger than Watts was

IMO Varcoe, Hurn, Pfeiffer rate ahead of him if they are still there at 16/17

[McLeodMagic]

Grant Birchall goes at 14.
Travis Varcoe gone at 15. :(

[Wayne's-World]

Varcoe - pick 15

[crazy_big_al]

Shannon Hurn - pick 13 West Coast:mad:


he still slipped more than i thought

[McLeodMagic]

Pick 16 - Richard Douglas

[Eggzoi]

Varcoe gone at 15.

[McLeodMagic]

Pick 17 - Darren Dffiefer :thumbsu:

[Eggzoi]

Douglas and Pfifer.

[Wayne's-World]

Pick 16 Adelaide - Richard Douglas:thumbsu:

Pick 17 Adelaide - Pfeiffer:thumbsu:

[outback jack]

shame about hurn!

[Stiffy_18]

Richard Douglas (http://www.footydraft.com/players.php?player=richard_douglas)

[Stiffy_18]

Darren Pfeiffer (http://www.footydraft.com/players.php?player=darren_pfeiffer)

[DaveW]

Why wouldn't we have taken Hughes?

[Stiffy_18]

Because we don't rate him as hihgly ;)

[Gets!]

Happy with those 2 picks :)

Lets hope we can get Hughes with 32 and Bode with 48.

[Wayne's-World]

24 - RICHMOND - Richard Douglas
(Calder Cannons), 6 February 1987, 180cm, 68.1kg

Linked with Essendon (No.19) and Collingwood (No.21 and No.23), Douglas is also right in the mix for Richmond, as the Tigers look for a small to medium-sized running defender. Douglas has a great work-ethic and possesses football smarts. A member of the Vic Metro side in the under 18 championships, Douglas was also named in the TAC Cup Team of the Year, while he was also won the TAC Cup Coaches Award in 2005. Capping off a great season, he was rewarded with the Calder Cannons best-and-fairest award. And recently he shone at the Draft Camp, with his speed, agility and endurance. Swallow is another the Tigers will monitor.

Have you ever seen him play?????? Is he any good??????

[Crow-mosone]

Why wouldn't we have taken Hughes?

didn't want him.

twice

[Wayne's-World]

Surely we'll go with a KPP at 32?

[Wayne's-World]

Have you ever seen him play?????? Is he any good??????
No, only know as much as you - bloody light though - will need to put weight on

[Eggzoi]

Anyone else notice the Vlad tried to keep the Crows down by trying to skip our second pick?

[Stiffy_18]

Surely we'll go with a KPP at 32?
Depends who is available

[Gets!]

He got BOG in all three finals games for his TAC cup side. Sounds quality.

And Pfeiffer we know is all class :)

[johnnypanther]

given that Varcoe and Hurn were already gone, i'm happy with Douglas and Pfeiffer - it looks as if we'll get someone decent with 32 as well (McEntee?)

[outback jack]

No, only know as much as you - bloody light though - will need to put weight on
and short. Hope hes quick!

[Stiffy_18]

No, only know as much as you - bloody light though - will need to put weight on
Strengths:
- Marking: very strong overhead, plays taller
- Agile: dances around opponents with ease
- Inside player
- Strong tackler
- Runs and Carries footy
- Penetrating kick

Those are some bloody good attributes to have :thumbsu:

Cleve hughes - pick 24 - Richmond

[Crow-mosone]

everything I read about douglas sounds good, he was certainly someone that you were happy for the club to be linked with in the mock draft.

[Gets!]

We should go for Andrew Swallow at 32....has been sliding!

[DaveW]

Hughes goes to Richmond at 24.

[Stiffy_18]

[McLeodMagic]

[Wayne's-World]

#30 Nick Lower - Port Adelaide

[Stiffy_18]

Port pick: Nick Lower

[McLeodMagic]

Pick 32 - Bernie VINCE

[Wayne's-World]

#32 Adelaide - Bernie Vince??

[Markthirtytwo]

Glad we picked the best available and not put off by the .......................whats' his name again. ;)

[Stiffy_18]

Pick 32: Bernie Vince :eek:

[Gets!]

Vince at 32!!!!

[Eggzoi]

Bernie Vince
AKA: Who?

[Wayne's-World]

What no KPP

Is Bernie Vince a pick 32??

[Stiffy_18]

I thought thats a bit early for Bernie Vince :confused:

[Gets!]

I think he can be good for us :)

[Stiffy_18]

Bernie Vince
AKA: Who?
Lad from WWT.

I think he is 19 or 20 and played a ripper final this year. Smooth player from what I have seen.

bigman will be rapped :D

[DaveW]

Another Josh Krueger?

[McLeodMagic]

Any info about him? Haven't heard about him much.

[crows98]

everything I read about douglas sounds good, he was certainly someone that you were happy for the club to be linked with in the mock draft.


At the same age everyone was saying the same thing about Skipwoth and he has not gone on.

179 is to small for a key onballer theses days, he will have to play as a small forward or crummer and if they have picked up someone for that role with pick 16 is a ********ing joke.

Didn’t they learn there lesson the first time with a high draft pick that the kid will always rate him self and be home as soon as possible. He will be gone with in 4 years.

[Wayne's-World]

Mcentee, Bode, Obst, Grima and Rischbieth still "live"

[Truck Rutten]

Any info about him? Haven't heard about him much.

63 - ST KILDA - Bernie Vince
(Woodville West Torrens), 2 October 1985, 186cm, 81kg

Could Bernie Vince be this year's smoky? Although in many respects, he is not a hidden talent as he played and impressed in a handful of SANFL matches towards the end of the 2005 season - including the SANFL grand final - it was enough to get several clubs talking. He possesses football smarts, can play tall and knows how to win the ball. Vince played four senior matches, including a beauty against the Port Adelaide Magpies in the preliminary final. St Kilda, after plucking James Gwilt from suburban football last year, could do it again, with the Saints taking a keen interest in Vince. He could also be St Kilda's final selection in this year's draft, as it is believed the Saints will pass on their final two picks. Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, the Kangaroos and the Brisbane Lions are also believed to be interested. If he does not go in this draft, he is likely to be an early rookie selection. He is also a talented cricketer and is playing grade cricket for Woodville in South Australia. He will be a name to watch.

[Gets!]

Swallow still live

just a quick thing the number 1 pick this year was 179cm too;)

interesting pick Vince, bit of a surprise obviously they see something there in him thats worth a shot especially at 32.

[Stiffy_18]

Any info about him? Haven't heard about him much.
He is a HFF/Midfielder from WWT. Clean player. Knows where the goals are.

Played REALLY well in one of the finals (I think it was gainst Port). I don't know how much improvement he has left but he is a decent pick up.

as long as he got pace its not too much to worry about. Skippy is short, slow and not especially talented. Would be nice to get one that looks as though hes past yr10 though!

Beat me to it Stiffy

[Gets!]

Rischbieth, Bode or Swallow?

[outback jack]

You are aware that the brownlow medallist is only 178 cm :rolleyes:
he is an exception though. Mid 180's is usually the go these days. As long as he has talent though whocares

Marc Murphy. discuss

Maybe its a case of us really not rating this draft so we are taking players that are more "footy ready" than some kinds that probably never works out.

We did a similar thing in 2002 draft when we picked up Jericho, Shirley and Begley.

[Wayne's-World]

Andrew Swallow still "live"

[McLeodMagic]

Swallow is gone at pick 42. :o

[outback jack]

Swallow is gone at pick 42. :o
Nope!

[Wayne's-World]

Pt Adelaide - Pick 44 - Carlisle

Swallow gone!

[outback jack]

freo draft another ruck!

[Gets!]

Crap :(

Surely we'll nab rischbieth or bode?

[McLeodMagic]

Nope!

My bad, wrong pick number. :p

BTW cheers for the info Stiffy re: Vince. :thumbsu:

[crows98]

We will wait and see and if he stays longer than 3 year and works out to be a talented player I will eat my words.

I still don’t believe that he was worth taking at 16 and Vince??? Why not pick him up with pick 48 of 62 if they wanted him that baldly.

This draft already looks like a waste of time

[outback jack]

Swallow gone!

Couldnt have been that flash, to be overlooked last yr. If we really wanted him pick32 was the go too.

[Wayne's-World]

Adelaide - Pick 48 - Alan Obst

Austin Lucy is still "live" I think - was touted top 10 in some circles?

Gamble to Geelong

[McLeodMagic]

Ryan Gamble gone at 47.

Pick 48 - Alan Obst :thumbsu:

[Gets!]

Adelaide 48 - Alan Obst.

[Stiffy_18]

Pick 48: Alan Obst (http://www.footydraft.com/players.php?player=alan_obst)

[Wayne's-World]

End of round 3 - still plenty of SA boys left - will we pass or take with next selection?

[Gets!]

No more picks for us?

[outback jack]

port would of needed him.
