Live Event 2014 NAB AFL Draft Discussion - Coming to a Board Near You...

Is Hamilton a blood relative of jarman? My god he moves like him and has the same kicking action.

Nephew. Wasn't sure if you were asking seriously...

 

[BRWB]

Dale makes Menadue look like the Hulk.

Hamilton listed as 2kg lighter than Dale and around same height. Won't be seeing them for a couple of years....

 

[TeddyPicker]

Lots of excitement and speed in those highlights. McLean looks a gun and dale surprised me. Some great breakaways, exactly what we are after

 

[Kelvin31]

Shifter just assessed our picks using one word. "Class". Thank you Simon dalrymple.

Yep. Using the Hawthorn model of elite kickers with class.
Declan Hamilton has a Gilbee esq leg technique. Caleb reminds me of Daniel Kerr (on field, not off field) in his kicking actions and side ways movement.

Bit of the short legs/long body about him - good sign.

His first lesson - STOP DRIBBLING YOUR GOALS THROUGH! Recipe for disaster.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Carlton's first draft pick:

Any of our new kids on twitter?

I love this moment so much that I could have sex with it and raise a family of tiny little moments.

 

[ossie_21]

When is the PSD/rookie draft?

 

[House_of_Dahl]

looks like a group of good decision makers with good skills

 

[King Harold]

Hope Caleb Daniel always wears that helmet - coupled with his (lack of) height, cult figure esq.

Please no , one of my pet hates.

 

[Beasley]

So, which ones from tonight's selections will play at CHF and CHB because Boyd can't play in these positions plus FF?

 

[Igloo]

Oscar McDonald being picked by the same club at the same pick number as his brother is pretty cool.

 

[Aldo]

Is it just the heavy metal music, or is Bailey Dale's highlights video really hardcore?

 

[King Harold]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Carlton's first draft pick:

You gotta go straight to Carlton board with that Dannnnnn , simply magnificent

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Two similarities between every single one of our picks: they all have sublime vision, and flawless decision making.

 

[Butane]

Watching the Bailey Dale video and I have to say, tentatively, he reminds me of a young Brendan Goddard but missing a few kgs. Whilst skinny now you can tell he has a frame to fill out in to. If he can get an extra cm or 2 as well that'd be nice but I like what I've seen.

 

[GrandBlue]

Now that I've done my research on these guys & seen the videos, I'm actually ecstatic with our selections at this point in time. We've brought in exactly the type of players we're crying for; fast, elite kicks, poise, intelligence, endurance, run etc.

F**k talls, seriously. The vast majority that don't go in the first round have a high failure rate, and we're loaded with talls right now! Wait til guys like Roberts, Cordy, Campbell, Hamling have shown what they can do before ragging on the recruiting staff for not picking a tall.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Carlton's first draft pick:

Put that on the Carlton board; they HAVE to see it!

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

So just jumped on to see out selections, and really surprised. haven't been following the draft as closely as years gone by, but none of these names seemed to be the ones the 'experts' thought we'd pick.
They also all seem a little small, don't they?

 

[Norm De Guerre]

As usual it would seen that post draft blues have set in and a lot of people have their balls in a twist about things they know * all about.

Dr Idle prescribes ice cubes and a longer term view of things.

 

[fronkalicious]

As long as they're good, tough kids as well, that's outstanding. So good. So exciting.

And if Dale has size 13 feet, he'll likely end up near 188-190cm.

Where do I pick these guys in my 2018 premiership team?

Quite a few of those with inside connections knew we were going to take Webb, and McLean, whilst not directly linked to us, was a player talked about at that range.

 

[ReservoirDog]

The video highlights of all the new guys looks promising. Welcome to the dogs guys.

 

[John Smith92]

Bailey Dale's highlights package looks more impressive than Bontempelli's from last year, therefore he will be a better player. We'll need to build a new temple. And trophy cabinet.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Surely we will be getting another ruckman in the PSD.
