List Mgmt. 2014 AFL Draft Discussion

[Dan]

We were happy with Dumont last year and not so sure about Brown. I think people need to chillax, the draft is a lottery and we generally do okay out of it.

I was happy with Brown.

 

[Tas]

I hope we stick some mids on as rookies.

 

[The Nostradamus]

like Vickers-Willis and Durdin.
Don't like Nielson though, would have gone for a midfielder/small forward at that pick

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Has anyone seen or heard from TPA? I fear the worst

 

[Tas]

I was happy with Brown.

That wasn't the general consensus though.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I hope we stick some mids on as rookies.

Seconded.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I hope we stick some mids on as rookies.

We won't get another Kanye I reckon. They are onto us.

 

[Bulge]

In Brewis we trust.

As Pykie and others have said, picking defenders isn't sexy, but we need these for the future.

Plus, who doesn't love a quality Scott Thompson spoil?

Tigers get McKenzie. Final nail in the coffin....so angry I'm almost laughing hahaha

 

[Higgins2Waite]

I thought everyone but l2bsnake was happy with the brown selection

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I think people need to settle down.

All the best outside runners went before 25.

I reckon we wanted McKenzie, the Saints swooped.

Garlett, Weller, Cockatoo all went before our first.....

Yep, Saint and us keen on McKenzie - they were hoping we wouldn't use 16 on him. We didn't, and he didn't get past their next pick.

 

[King Corey]

Nielson highlights underwhelming. Purely a needs based pick by the look of it, couldn't say if he was the best KPD at that point.

Vickers-Willis screamed a Bryce/Brad pick when I watched his profile pre-draft.

Pykie were there any outside types who went after Durdin that you'd taken ahead of him?

 

[muttley45]

IIRC Knightmare had us scoring Durdin @ 16 in his phantom draft, as i recall, he gave him a pretty fair rap, in particular his disposal

 

[SpiderBurton22]

What's your opinion?

dont know enough about it, but it didnt go to the bigfooty expects plans so that means plenty of melting

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Who needs outside pace when you have Gibson, MacMillan & Bastinac lighting up the turf.

Seriously.

Anyways, In Harper, Mullet & Garner we trust -- McDonald, Turner & Atley go ok too.

 

[Deadeyeroo]

That's what makes me angry. What was available versus what we actually picked.

Well for starters Reece McKenzie was available at 36 who Richmond just took. Watch this kid tear it apart in 2-3 years time. I would have been happy with Caleb Daniel or Oscar McDonald at 25.

Petrie is about to retire then who takes his spot? Can always rely on Tarrant or Wood who has one game to his belt I guess

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Want to know about delaney now. Doesn't look good for him vased on our picks

 

[Rockstar6]

Nope, he said he wanted to get out of Adelaide!

Did he? Then I'm wrapped!!

 

[Harris 10]

I thought everyone but l2bsnake was happy with the brown selection

I along with pykie for memory were probably the most vocal in thinking it was a nothing selection.

Now more reason to hate Richmond.

 

[Pykie]

No.

Durdin had a bad hand injury that effected him for alot of the year, hence Shifter Sheehan getting his rocks off over him on the TV.

He was at one very early stage this year the #1 pick.

He plays a lot like Ben Reid, I have no doubt he can put the weight on, his shoulders are enormous.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Jake Johansen rookie

 

[Jay-Z]

Petrie is about to retire then who takes his spot? Can always rely on Tarrant or Wood who has one game to his belt I guess

Really? When Petrie (and Waite) retire, we still have Brown, Black, Wood, Majak, and Tazza on the list

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

I'm done with this draft
