List Mgmt. 2015 Draft. Rookie Draft on Friday

[Ben Drever]

Id be looking at

Pick 3 Parish
Pick 7-8(dixon pick) Curnow or Burton
Pick 20- jade Gresham
Pick 23-24 Hibbered

Ive gone on a bit of a needs basis here.

Personally i think we need another gun Mid. He wont be played much next year but doubt he'd really be needed, Hopefully.
but expect a big 2017 especially if 1of O'Meara or Prestia leave.

Once Dixon leaves id like to replace him with a agile Med forward.
More likely to play first year if there not 200cm tall etc. Curnow and Burton fit this mould.

Third pick i think we need a high production elite skilled small mid who can also play down forward
Similar to Isac Heeny this year.

And lastly a tall back flank/mid in the Kolo build.

It would not surprise me if Scott Clayton went with Hibberd and Lovell during the draft.

Clayton is a Tasmanian who has had some good success recruiting Tasmanian boys who have all played good football in 2015 under difficult circumstances.

Russell, Hall, Lonergan, KK, Lonergan and Schade.

If Clayton thinks they are good enough it is a serious "plus" that there is no go home factor. Obviously there is always a chance that someone will splash the cash but that is life.

Lots of things need to fall into place but I will wait and watch with interest.

I don't think we would take 4 players in the draft. Maybe 3 and upgrade. Saad

 

[Ben Drever]

We'd have 4 picks before 25
You'd be stupid not to.
You can upgrade saad with pick 88

No club would use a pick in the early second round to upgrade a rookie :|

 

[SandyToes]

In this draft I'd be packaging pick 23-24 to sweeten a trade deal

Id be down for that.
With limitations, no one over 25

 

[Ben Drever]

Anyone follow any state league comps.?
With Broughton and Raines gone.

And the success of Downie Saad and Brooksby i wouldnt be surprised if another 1-2 state league players get picked up as Rookies.

 

[Ben Drever]

Subsitute abolished.
Interchange cut to 90.

Maybe we look for players who are very similar to our needs but also factor in endurance?
Dont want anymore McKenzies.

We will probably use our end of Rd 1 & early Rd 2 picks to trade in players.

Pick 3 & 10 in the draft
Pick 19'ish & 22'ish player trade
Late Rd picks to upgrade Saad & Brooksby

 

[Ben Drever]

Medium defenders named for combine.

[Ben Drever]

Geelong beating Adelaide will put them higher then port on the ladder.
GWS to play melbourne later.
We really need Port to lose
Unfortunately to an undermanned Dockers.
If Port GWS and Geelong all win, all will be on 48points and Port will most likely have higher percentage leaving us with pick 10 from the Dixon deal

 

[Ben Drever]

Brisbane have made a comeback against the Dogs. Kicked 8 goals to 1 in the second qtr to be 3 points down.
Go lions!

 

[Ben Drever]

Beisbane are ahead 10mins to go in the last.
Just relised there dead last.. And even a win will lift them even with carlton

 

[Ben Drever]

The dockers reserves are beating port by 3 goals at the end of the first..
Go Dockers!!

Leppa must be in danger, he stopped their tankathon.

What idiots..
Unless they rang Carlton and asked if they could please have Schache!!

If Kreuzer leaves under FA, then the Lions might miss out on both Schache & Weitering!

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Few friends saw Falcons and Rebels today. Curnow 4 and BOG, missed a few and should've kicked 8. Parish and Mathieson went well up against Hopper.

Sadly with pick 10 Curnow would need to slide if we follow most mock drafts

Bigger forwards are no longer better forwards.

[Ben Drever]

Carlton wanting to dump injury prone ruckman to get picks 1 and 2.
Silvani doing cartwheels how easy it will be to turn Carlton around with Weitering and Schache.

Means Suns will have pick 4..?

I'd be so pissed if that happened, but I'd be very surprised if the AFL gave Carlton a pick after their first as compensation. It's purely rorting the system by refusing to offer a decent contract to an FA with the sole intention of making them sign elsewhere in order to receive a compensation pick. They'd get one after their second rounder, imo. It's not as if the formula is set in stone. The AFL has a committee which discusses the compensation and decides what the best result is. They're not going to allow it.

Surely Carlton aren't stupid enough to let Kreuzer go. He was a number 1 draft pick who is in his prime and played some good football when he came back. It sounds like they are already losing a lot of players, so why force even more out the door unnecessarily.
