So DeGoey has the hardness of DeBoer, and the gut running of the Gu - bring him in!

A few things have changed in my draft, with Fremantle having three new picks...
15. Fremantle - Jordan DeGoey (187cm, 82kg midfielder from Oakleigh Chargers, VIC)
34. Fremantle - Jake Johansen (171cm, 63kg midfielder/forward from South Adelaide, SA)
53. Fremantle - Jesse Watchman (196cm, 94kg forward from West Adelaide, SA)
Tag Chris by putting a @ in front of his username as you're typing it into your post... and then pick it out from the list of names that come up underneath.Chris do you think that Watchman could develop in to a KPB at all? What's his mobility like? Also would like us to rookie Daniel from SA, he could be a good pocket rocket. Its been a while since we have drafted a pacey small. Lachie Neale doesn't really have that explosive pace.
Hey guys, not sure if theres another thread for this so feel free to delete this one if there is!!
Anyway, I was wondering how you guys think we're going to go in this draft, which supposedly fits plenty of talls, which could be handy!!! However when I started thinking about it, I was wondering just how many key-forwards we can afford on our list, as Peel is already - Too Tall.
What type of players do you guys think we'd be drafting with each pick, and any examples would be handy, if you've got a short description or profile handy, BE SURE TO POST!!
One player interesting me is Tyler Keitel, description from Paiges draft.
Pick 19: Essendon – Tyler Keitel (end of first round compensation)
Position: Key forward/defender
Height: 194 cm, Weight: 80 kg, DOB: 07/02/1996
Club: East Perth
Projected Draft Range: 15-25
Plays Like: Taylor Walker
Super versatile, Tyler Keitel (pronounced ky-tel) showed signs in last year’s National Championships as a bottom-aged player that he had all the makings of becoming a first round pick this year. So far he looks like delivering on those predictions, especially since adding six kilograms to his 2013 playing weight and growing three centimetres. At 194 cm, Keitel has torn apart the WAFL Colts for East Perth, kicking 14 goals from six games thus far, however he’s shown scope in pushing down back where his physicality and discipline make him a great wild card in any coach’s arsenal. My big tick for Keitel is his cleanness overhead, particularly under pressure. He takes the ball at its highest point, and importantly has clean and safe hands at full extension on the lead. He understands how to use his body in a marking situation, and bodies up nicely to protect the drop of the ball. Keitel is the type of forward who can take a vintage pack mark, often clunking them when at times he looks out-positioned, and has that Hollywood swagger that makes him a real cult figure. He also doesn’t mind getting a bit higher up the ground in that true centre half forward role. In terms of his set shots, he has a clean and simple technique and with good delivery can really do justice on the scoreboard, however at the National Championships he has only kicked goals in one out of his three games so far. It’s quite probable Keitel could make a bolt up the draft order if he continues to have a big influence like he has at National Championship level. Currently from his three games, he is averaging 16.3 disposals at 70%, one goal, 7.3 marks and five contested possessions.
Anyway please put up ideas for possible draft picks.
cheers mate. Normally know a lot more than I do this year!! Do you rekon we'll look at KPP or more smalls/mids, seems like a lot of mid-size players that we may take, from this. Not sure if this would be the right/wrong thing to do.Keitel for me is more suited to back than forward, but alot of people who would disagree. But I can't see him sliding to our first pick. Similar to Mcpharlin.
Possible pick for our first pick are: Conner Blakely 187 midfielder similar to Mundy, C Smith 178 small forward/back/midfielder similar to Bryon Pickett (loves to hurt), Jordan De Goey 187cm midfielder/forward creative, good mark and kicks goals, Tom Lamb 192 midfielder/half back tall, quick, and skillful.
Possible Second Round pick: Jarrod Garlett outside midfielder who has toe, clever, takes on the game, Dylan Winton 191 half back/midfield not quick but knows to where to run to and good overhead and skills,

I'm a bit of a fan of the "if they're selling, buy & if they're buying sell" philosophy, but I reckon first pick should be best available every timeWe are going to be subjected to the decisions of the other clubs. If they go tall should be a decent small/medium available and vice versa.

ok fair enough, if no good talls available then pass. Certainly agree that bigger midfielders are more valuable or more likely to get a game than shorter ones, as you wouldn't be feeling comftorable dropping Barlow for Neale (Just a demo.) Purely because size counts. Cheers for your input mateSure, I think That Goddard, Wright, Lever, Moore, Mccartin, Durdin, Marchbank and Keitel won't available at our first pick. Our second and third picks in be late, getting a good tall will be difficult.
Also, I like tall/medium midfielders who can play other roles. Small midfielders don't do it for me unless they a Shane Crawford and Brent Harvey someone is something special.
Also, love West Aussies and know they had a bad carnival, but in my view the top half were outstanding and the bottom half went up to it. The game plan didn't seem to exist.

We've also got four 190cm+mids that rotate through the forward line (Barlow, Mora, Mundy, Fyfe) and Mzungu who's what 186? Regardless he's an excellent overhead mark and set shot. A third tall is definitely not something we are in need of.It doesn't look to me like we are looking for 3rd tall forwards at all unless they are ruck/forward like Clarke and Moller. 2 talls a resting ruck and a mid size in Mayne is the go plus roll our tall mids through. That causes mayhem.
And Crowley.We've also got four 190cm+mids that rotate through the forward line (Barlow, Mora, Mundy, Fyfe) and Mzungu who's what 186? Regardless he's an excellent overhead mark and set shot. A third tall is definitely not something we are in need of.
