Competitions Nostradamus Drafting Thread - 2014

[Sanj48]

17: Tom Lamb
20: Reece McKenzie
62: Patrick Ambrose (upgrade)

 

[Benno30]

17. De Goey/Goddard
20. Cockatoo
62. Ambrose

Would have liked Garlett or Pickett as well just don't think we will go with them

 

[Yoda_]

I don't really mind.

As long as it is 2 of Conor Menadue, Nakia Cockatoo, Jordan De Goey, Connor Blakely, Tom Lamb, Tyler Keitel

 

[Pweter]

Irish recruit - Conor McKenna

Pick #17 - Connor Blakely
Pick #20 - Conor Menadue

3 Conors all in 1 pre season will be awesome.

Let's hope it works better than when we had the only 2 Courtenay's in the league on our list.

 

[Conor Mckenna]

Irish recruit - Conor McKenna

Pick #17 - Connor Blakely
Pick #20 - Conor Menadue

3 Conors all in 1 pre season will be awesome.

3 Conors would make a nice triangle..

Cockatoo..

Mckenzie (hope he's as good as the last son of a Carlton player who didn't qualify for father son...)

Ambrose..

Rookie list..

Mckernan

another Ruckman and,

Jake Long...

 

[Halorad]

17: Conor Menadue
20: Toby Mclean
62: Patrick Ambrose

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Would love Goddard/Cockatoo/De Goey, but think we'll get:
17: De Goey
20: Menadue

 

[monty1104]

17: Conor Menadue
20: Toby Mclean
62: Patrick Ambrose

Would be a massive reach if we get McLean at 20. Would rather someone in the Menadue/DeGoey/Blakely/Cockatoo range of we were to go small at pick 20.

 

[Buttsoup_Barnes]

It'd be awesome (but highly unlikely) if Laverde slipped to us, another Essendon guy on the team with sublime skills.

Won't last after pick 6.

 

[carnthedons]

At 20?

Seems a reach for a one trick pony. Why do you say this?

He loves his way?

 

[JDavey]

17: De Goey
20: Garlett

I like this so I'll go large instead.

17: Ahern
20: De Goey
62: Ambrose

You seem to know what you are takling about, i just didnt want to double up anybody elses guess haha

Haha, fair enough. I think McLean will be a decent player, just won't get drafted that high as he has some limitations.

 

[Donsville77]

17. Nakia Cockatoo (Touk Miller should Cockatoo already be taken)
20. Reece McKenzie
62. Patty Ambrose

 

[Old Campaigner]

It'd be awesome (but highly unlikely) if Laverde slipped to us, another Essendon guy on the team with sublime skills.

Maybe we can get him to bash a cabbie and smoke a joint on TV

 

[anst1ssa]

17. Liam Duggan
20. Hugh Goddard

Is Jake Long a possibility in the rookie draft??

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

#17 - best player available
#20 - best player available

 

[Keystone agony]

Youd have more chance if you tried to pick who it wouldnt be.

 

[MightyDons4]

17. Jordan De Goey
20. Connor Menadue

OR

17. Nakia Cockatoo
20. Toby McLean

Unfortunately I don't think Marchback or Goddard will drop to us

 

[craffles]

17. Goddard
20. Cockatoo
Ambrose

 

[MightyDons4]

Care to elaborate on his limitations? What I've seen of him has been very appealing

He is more of marking forward than a crumbing forward, which is fine, but at 179cm that really limits his effectiveness. He isn't a really high production player either.

Jamie Elliot is more of a marking forward and he is 178cm and goes at a tick under two goals a game in 2014. Think you made up your last point, here's a link to his stats in the TAC cup http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_...97777130&client=0-3020-111727-294694-20320284

I hadn't seen the stats, just going on here say on drafts board.

Regardless, and I know I started this conversation, best we keep this thread for draft predictions and take discussion over to the discussion thread.
