List Mgmt. 2015 Draft Prospects (Poll Added 31/8/15)

[Dogsman16]

Burton got an invitation. Could go top 10. In fact I think they only invite the top 10.

Be almost silly to draft a ruckman these days.
Can only think we are assessing a ruck for our rookie list.

There has been a few around.

I don't think spending a late pick on a ruck is silly especially one with a decent frame already. It's unlikely Flynn will take 5 years before he's ready to compete.

They invite like 15 or so people, anyone who is a chance for top 10. Lewis Taylor was at the draft a few years ago.

Did I see that Cal Twomey had Matheson slipping to 28? Surely that's impossible?

Would be a gigantic steal. Back to Back all australian in the under 18 comp.

Should be top 15 imo. Saints should be snapping him up.

I'd be all over him if there was any chance of slipping to our pick.

Collins/Adams + Matheson would make me happy.

 

[Struggle]

What are the odds of a New York Knicks style meltdown here in a few hours? Does drafting one tall prevent that?

But what's interesting is Burton got a late invite according to Quayle. Stringer got a late invite and I think Nakia Cockatoo got a late invite as well and they both went top 10.

Funniest part about that is how good Porzingis looks. I'll take the melts if we end up with a player with as much superstar potential as he has.

 

[Dogsman16]

Jon Ralph saying its virtually guaranteed that we will be picking up Adcock in the rookie draft. No other interest.

He is a gigantic upgrade on goodes. Great pickup.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Yep happy to add Adcock to the rookie list, it's a no brainer really. He's not going to perform like he did in the final game against us but if needed he can play a role all over the ground and add some leadership and maturity. Big tick.

I could see Adcock playing at least 10 - 15 games next season. Bob and Boydy aren't going to be playing 22 games a year and it might help prolong Murph's career by another season. Ideal for interstate trips to rest one of those two and have Adcock come straight in.

Will push hard for a round 1 spot.

Alex Morgan ? What ! Another smallish half back . Bonner I can see is a chance , but why will we draft a guy like Morgan. Can't see it happening.

Just watched his reel and I can see why he would appeal to us. Looks like a really creative player with a very composed kick under pressure. Has some nice tricks too.

Not sure we will go for him but I think he could be a player.

Essendon getting Parish and Francis would be unreal for them. Like us in 2012.

yeah TBOW , my post was a little harsh on the kid. He can obviously play and as you say a lovely kick and composed.
Just I am with the majority on here , we just don't have the luxury of drafting smaller type flankers this time around.

 

[TBOW]

If Adam's isn't a gorilla my eyes need checking!!

I'd say he's enough of a gorilla to play in our system. The problem with a lot of the real big guys is that they can be a liability offensively.

Our defenders are expected to work as a flexible, cohesive unit both defensively and on the counter attack. We rely on each player being able to pressure an opponent, zone off to intercept and run and deliver offensively.

Without being able to tell a great deal from 2 minutes of footage, Adams seems like an ideal fit.

Sorry I wasn't being critical, (completely understand the needs based angst) just needed a Morgan related post to reference.

 

[Dav1d]

I have a feeling that gold coast will be the ones to go for Burton

They lack a third tall don't they. Might pull the trigger on Curnow as well with their first. Thats who I'd be taking if I were Clayton.

No doubt he will go for the 2min highlight reel type player

Do the actual selections start at 630? I'm in Brisbane so hour earlier up here. Going to need to bolt home from work.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a pub in the Melbourne CBD to try and watch the draft? Somewhere quiet with Foxtel that won't mind me taking over the TV... Somewhere that's basically my lounge room, with a bartender?

Good old Turf Bar to the rescue.

I think what seems best about Adams is that he doesn't seem like a pure defensive stopper, he moves well for a big guy and is a pretty decent kick.

I have the same question!v!

Interesting to see Skippos mention that his kicking needs a lot of work in his newest phantom update. Perhaps it's not as good as it's made to look in the highlights, but I suppose we'll see. Certainly is capable of pulling off good long-range kicks, might just be that the consistency isn't there.
