List Mgmt. 2015 Draft. Rookie Draft on Friday

[exile]

if jed can get a gig on a senior list elsewhere, money-wise he's not going to sit on the rookie list. i know he's been living in queensland for the entirety of his career, but was originally from victoria, so perhaps would prefer something back down closer to home.

dunno about downie. still hasn't played at senior level. sometimes players can kill it in the reserves yet not perform at senior level. give him another year on the rookie list, there'll always be a chance to upgrade him next season you'd imagine.

Did i look at medium midfielders ??

No i missed it actually..theres a 190cm kid in there liam Jeffs.
Id hate to see a tall midfielder if 190cm is medium.. Damn!!

Welcome to the 21st century!

Now that Raines is retired i can see us doing something similar with Jed Adcock this year.
Rookie list him for experience in the NEAFL and around the club etc.
If his keen of cause.

I reckon Downie is half a chance to be elevated onto the senior list this year.. Is goal tally and forward line smarts say it all
His taken his game to another level!
So even more need to bolister the NEAFL with experienced talent

On recent AFL media - No way I would ever denigrate Jed's contribution to Brisbane, imo he is being treated disgracefully by a club he has given the best to for many seasons but why should GC b seen as dumping ground for rejected Lions.? Suns are so much better than that!

The lack of quality backup is not unusual for a relatively new club, those guys have been a positive this season; keep building there

On the Trade front, have no doubt where Jaegs is concerned.

Not a dumping ground..
Just need a couple of wise old heads for 2 or so years.. Keep lifting the standerds etc
Former AFL captains dont usually get thrown away so easily.
Would be a good get.
Ones that come cheaply, dont want to lose any top 22 players for getting anyone over 28

Yes ok, I was over the top with the dumping ground analogy. If I didn't make it clear, I do really like Jed.

He has also been good this year for Lions, have to ask why he is being axed (cynical me).

 

[Ben Drever]

Rebuild? Merrett would be the only bloke around 30 wouldnt he?

 

[Ben Drever]

Just watching the Cats Pies game.

Daniel Menzle. 4 knee recos first game back had about 6good touches in the first 10min playing in the forward line kicked 1.1
Probably BOG right now.
The kids got bags full of talent..
You either have it or you dont even after 4 years he hasnt lost a beat!

Shows how much we miss having a mid sized crafty forward

Edit- just kicked his second with another kick from 45 on the boundary.
Early second qtr his kicked Geelongs whole score!!
Edited X 2 4goals 2 early in the last plus a big hanger.. Up for mark of the year!!
Edited X 3.
Game over finished with 20 touches. Prob went a bit quiet in the second half as you would after 4 years off.
Finished with 4 goals 2 and was probably Geelongs BOG.
What a gun.

Hopefully O'Meara can show that type impact straight away next year.

 

[Ben Drever]

Pick 3. Is looking good, where to spend it?
Port stil could end up with pick as low as 7 but as high as 10, I'm thinking there more likely to get 8-9
They play Freo so should stay stuck on 44points.
Which GWS and Geelong currently sit on also.

 

[Ben Drever]

Hey Meatball, you going to Falcons versus Stingrays tmoz at Simmonds?
I got a feeling Clayton and the boys will be there watching Parish Curnow Weitering and Mathieson as well!!

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

I'm heading down. Hoping Collins or Weitering matches up on Curnow.

 

[Ben Drever]

Mrs canned me from driving down the Hwy on couples day Sunday.
Your on you own Suns of Anarchy
Should be a good game. We're a chance to pick up 1 of those guys

 

[Cochblocked]

I'll be there, let's hope either Weitering disappoints and slips to 3 or Parish stars.

 

[Ben Drever]

Becoming a fan Jade Gresham Northern Knights Captain,
Vic Metros MVP
Has Touk miller like qualitys
Player comparison Dion Prestia.
1 to watch with our second and third pick.

Good man Meatball
Keep us posted..
Wear a Suns top and If you see Scotty Clayton give him our BigFooty run down on delistings and future drafting
The Suns is a club of the people haha!

 

[Ben Drever]

Hows our boys looking Meatball?

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Qtr time. Falcons 5 points up. Scrappy in tight game. Rice not playing for Dandy. High possession team the Falcons.

 

[winning]

I still like the thought of a big body like Curnow adding to the depth of mid-fielders.

 

[Ben Drever]

any news on weitering curnow Parish Mathieson Collins

 

[Ben Drever]

Wallace this arvo had us taking Curnow with our first pick

 

[Cochblocked]

Low scoring match Weitering has been very good.

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Wallace this arvo had us taking Curnow with our first pick

He was quiet in the 1st half but popped up with 3 big goals. Beauty outside 50. Stringer like.

You mention the word Stringer and I'm Sold.

Parish..?

 

[Ben Drever]

Watched a few Sydney games of late. Yes Heeney was very highly rated midfielder, but his playing generally deep inside 50 and kicking multiple goals in every game pulling in mark after mark.

Whose a mid sized mid with elite marking!!

We'll develop him to be bigger and better Matera/Boston forward pocket type player

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Parish..?

Parish quieter early on but came into it as the game went on.
Curnow is a forward who you'll run into the midfield for short periods. Plenty of observers not convinced he'll be a mid. He was up against Collins and his contested marking was highlight.
Wish we lost to Essendon now as Weitering is in a class of his own.
Pick 3 -12 up for grabs. It will depend on what you need rather than the best available. If you want a mid you go Parish, if you want that clever forward you go Curnow, a tall forward then you look at Weideman, Burton. Strange draft coming up.

People said the same about Fyfe
He was this tall lanky forward with elite marking..
Worst kick in the draft and his endurance was pretty average, barely even played midfield till he got to Freo..
And Now....
