List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Watch Thread

[Ben Drever]

My understanding was.. A club had to offer 600k a year over about 5 years for them to qualify for pick 3..
And from what i understand.. Geelong deffinetly aint got that.. Hopefully he settles on a likely finals playing club.. Less money..

Is this the last draft on the Coast? Just curious, The nervous wait to see if we got Kollar was awesome in person last year.

I think so. But could be re-signed back here

Can you actually attend it without being a player or family member?

Yeah anyone can go

Yeah anyone can go

That's awesome, do you just rock up or do you buy tickets online beforehand?

 

[TheJaegerBomb]

Not real keen on getting both Ahern and Weller. I want someone a bit more dynamic with our first pick. Not real keen on a flakey outside player like Ahern albeit him being very good.

 

[TheJaegerBomb]

Did anyone listen to the draft podcast with Lachie Weller about a month ago (I think)?

In all honesty it did not sound like he was that bothered about coming to us when asked whether he would prefer to. I have a gut feeling he may not be keen on us after we dumped Mav. Pure speculation going off a hunch but if true we may be well served to pass on him.

I always had that in the back of my mind when considering Lachie. I wonder if it'll have that much of an impact on whether GC drafts him.

Surely he'd be telling other clubs' recruiters that, too? If that were the case, that is.

 

[holybishop]

We shouldnt listen to draftees who try to manipulate clubs into not picking them. Pavlich made it quite clear to Fremantle that he didnt want to be drafted by us, so he retaliates by playing 300+ games for us. Likewise Wingard told GWS he didnt want to go there, and they're probably kicking themselves that they got scared off by him. Once they're in that club environment they're attitudes will change, or at least we have to trust that the staff and other players will change their attitudes. If they still want to walk, then at least we can demand good compensation for them in a trade.

Not sure Lachie is quite ready for the Suns yet - He won't walk into your senior side and he did not set the world on fire with his form for Southport in the NEAFL or against his peers at the Nationals this year - With his perceived non bothered attitude above, he might be thinking it would be better to get picked up by club that can improve him, rather than based on this years performance, a club who will stick him in a side and competition that the ressies looked outclassed in, week in and week out.

I know that one of the 3 finalists on the show The Recruit had been trying to play with your ressies each week toward the latter part of the season - I don't think the club's answer is there either, Rugby players and reality TV Show - Show Pony's are far from stiffening up your senior list. Football players win flags not first time circus performers.

I'd be very keen to see Johann Wagner up here on the Coast to be honest - he's The Recruit's best.

 

[Sunny_]

We are one of the three clubs who have said we're interested in drafting Wagner. Don't follow the show at all, but since he won he's obviously got something going for him.

 

[Scotty_222]

Can play but was always going to choose port

 

[Sunny_]

Surprise surprise, he stayed home in SA and went to Port.

 

[Scotty_222]

Stupid would have more of a chance to get a game here

 

[Big Red Machine]

I thought our pitch to Yoey was pretty poor but then again the greatest pitch in the world wouldn't have dragged him away from Port.

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Gorringe to Adelaide & our picks 15, 44 in exchange for their picks 9 & 29. Would leave us with 7,9,27,29 and help stagger the age bracket going forward too.

I would rather get more senior players between 24-29 then draft more young players, the only way we should trade Gorringe if it's for another mature age player.

Gorringe for Sam Jacobs?

I kid

That's what free agency is for or the pre season draft. You can never have enough elite young talent coming through the door.

Matt panos..?

Ahern locked himself into the top 10 yesterday.

What did he do?
