List Mgmt. 2014 AFL Draft Discussion

[Pykie]

Would our first or second pick be enough?

St Kilda will take him with one of their two early 20's picks.

I'd say, if we've interviewed him that many times, it will be with the view @ 16.

As I said, I wouldn't be surprised if he went as low as 12.

12-21 is his range imo.

He sounds like a good prospect, it will be a battle between him and Cockatoo. Pace/Skill/Flair V Potential 10-12 year KPF.

All things being equal, you'd take the tall.

I'm leaning that way, just want both, nothing suss of course KC.

Hells Bells boys..... Nothing like a little hump day movement reading about McKenzie!!! I got excited about the barge ass n tree trunk legs, thought there might still be hope for me, then remembered I'm 37 n 179cm :-(

He has a big barge ass, and big tree trunks. He's huge for his height, and will fill out to one of the genuine power forwards in the league, that I have no doubt. He's as big as Hawkins was at the same age. There's genuinely big kids like Boyd and Patton, then there's those like Hawkins and McKenzie, almost like race horses, just powerful through the trunk and core.

From the first time I saw him, he instantly reminded me of Gherig, same dominating persona, huge shoulders, took a heap of contested marks on the lead with little separation. He looks a little shorter than what his height says, but I think that's a bit to do with his legs, makes his body look short.

He will be a bolter draft day imo.

Garry Sidebottom, I tells ya.

You never know Hazey, he might be into older men so you're still a chance.

McKenzie reminds alot of Casboult the way he really launches himself at the footy. Really throws himself at everything.

Have only seen him play the one game, in which he kicked 4.2. All the draft gurus on the phantom page said he was a slow lumbering type, but after watching him I knew it wasn't the case. He is very quick off the mark for a kid his size, but also has a quick turn (much quicker than say Petrie or
tarrant).

 

[King Corey]

Does McKenzie get many goals from general play? As opposed to set shots.

 

[Ohhh Errol]

Now is when we all wish we got more for Levi, or at least upgraded 25 somehow, trading with geelong for 21 would've been the kootz

 

[Higgins2Waite]

damn collingwood. Another pick in the 20's would be nice. Too many choices not enough picks dammit!!!

 

[Deadeyeroo]

Don't be surprised if one or both of them are at North next year.


There's a better chance of us taking McKenzie than Cockatoo at 16 though imo.

McKenzies this years Aaron Black, but already a big unit, late to footy from basketball.

His combine results marry up pretty well to Nic Nats, he kicked a bag of 10 in the TAC Cup earlier this year, and won the leading goal kicker.

His agility, speed, hand size are elite for his size and weight at his age.

I heard somewhere that Reece McKenzie kicked 16 goals in a school game for Marcellin college too, he broke the previous record set by Marcus Bontempelli which I think was 10 goals in a school game.

Get your filthy hands off my boy....

Seriously though, been on him all year - LOVE him - but Skippos on the draft board is right when he says he could be a superstar, or Ryan Willits...

Good to see another Marcellin lad doing well.

Pffffffffft.

Doing well = #1 pick or gtfo

Team of the Century or GTFO

Bonts already in their TOTC? I'd like to say I'm surprised.

Have they added Tom Boyd retrospectively to their Jamie Cooper TOTC prints yet?
