List Mgmt. 2015 AFL Draft - what type of players should we be looking at & who do we take? (Poll added)

[lachie charm]

Anyone who follows the Draft board have any idea why Knightmare has Essendon with pick #1? He also has the Pies with pick #14

Does he know something we don't, or has he just obsessed over the draft so much that he's blown a fuse?

He blew the fuse along time ago when he had Reece Mckenzie as a top 8 pick.

Still disappointed we did not take Reece. Will be interesting to see how he develops compared to Foster.

Surprised Knightmare does not have Pies as Pick 18

Maybe pick #1 is the compo pick once Hird is vindicated

 

[Mister Carlton]

Donaldson was our last rookie ruckman.

 

[Dramoth]

Yup im talking about you bro

what... because I said that you would be getting pick 3 for Carlisle?

Ok... answer me this then genius... why would we pay 2 second round picks for a player who has a WADA court case hanging over his head with the worst case scenario being a 2 year ban from the date that the sentence is handed down? We do that and we can be considered bigger dickheads than Port for handing over what they did for Ryder because they at least got 12 months out of Ryder before his ban come into play.

We wouldnt be, in the worst case scenario, getting anything out of Carlisle until the 2018 season so why should we pay through the nose for a guy who could be out of contract before he can even play for us?

And I have no clue?

 

[Dave]

Even in some of the games Gumbleton played, you could see the quality come through at times.

I guess we've all got a fair share of players that can't live up to potential just for injury alone. Unfortunate.

Yep we have, hate seeing it, no matter who they play for.

 

[Dave]

Laverde looks good, bit of a risk using pick 20 on him though, his volleyball skills are , frankly, ordinary.

 

[FoeverBlues]

The big American lands at Carlton



Ask and you shall receive......Still has to be accepted by both parties though.

206 Knockers out for 206 Korchecker in

 

[Broadside]

206 Knockers out for 206 Korchecker in

big shoes to fill (literally) but that's about it

 

[HARKER]

Donaldson was our last rookie ruckman.

Ruckman? Didn't think he was a ruck.

Recall him being around the 195 mark and looked to have a couple of good qualities about him but.....................

Watching the video in that link, it was good seeing Sav working with him on his kicking. His kicking action isn't actually too bad considering he isn't a native to our game and the oval ball. I have seen many Americans try to kick a Sherrin, and even after years of practice there still isn't something quite right in their technique. Korcheck seems a bit more natural.

Ok, here we go...

Aaron Francis
Ryan Burton
Silvani
Rice

 

[HARKER]

Ok, here we go...

Aaron Francis
Ryan Burton
Silvagni
Rice

That's going to please the anti HBF'er crew

Swap Francis for Weitering and you've got a deal!

IF Silvagni falls to our last pick, leaves room to take a 4th rounder too.

Don't tell MEB_ sy, she's very protective...

Francis more upside, played as a mid, classified as a intercept defender, comparison is The Pav...

I haven't seen any of the guys live yet but I just feel like I'd like the mid, sooner than a defender........as much as we may need one.

That comment was a lighthearted joke with another member on the board. Get a clue tho

Weitering, Francis, Mills and Schache are all worthy 1,2,3 picks. Can't lose with any of them.

The team that finishes 4th bottom and misses on all of them is the unlucky one.

Shame that appears like it might be *

Remember that Brisbane may get afforded a Priority (or Band 1 in disguise for Leuenberger) Don't like the sound of the language coming from up North.

Piss off to your own board, you've done nothing but troll.

Could be frightening if he partners up with Cripps in the centre square.

 

[Stubbie Holder]

No think he was talking abot Dodoro.. Atleast we usually get our first round pick faily spot on (Livingstone excluded), but Dodoro has some 1st picks like James Davies, kepler Bradley, Scott Gumbleton, Angus Monfries who is okay at Port but was so poor at EFC they basically gave him away

We've stuffed up our fair share of first rounders as well, Kriss Massie,Murray Vance,Jordan Russell,Matthew Watson,Josh Bootsma to name a few.

 

[Blugazi]

What's Francis like in the guts? From the games I've seen he wasn't exactly dominant out of the middle. Looked more at home in defence and up forward.

He is definitely at home down back and up front but because of his frame and CLEAN hands, he is a natural for the midfield, remember Jobe Watson played at FF in the Vic side, Pav was a CHF, Fyfe was a leading forward, all of them became natural mids all because of clean hands and size...
