Opinion 2014 Draft ( Live discussion ) Mod notice post #6629

Well we better hope Crippa becomes a gun then.


Macca also had a lot of say in Temay (coached him @ school).

Oh god we are in trouble if he is having a say in who we are drafting then! Hope the story above isn't true otherwise we've not only paid overs for a good prospect but we've been pretty unprofessional and lost a good recruiter. I'm all for the club involving legends after they are done but its a 21st century club and we need the best people doing the jobs they are employed to do it's not the 80s anymore

 

[Blue By Blood]

Tom Lamb is highly rated yet never gets mentioned on here as an option for pick 6, how come?

Because he's more likely a late first round/early second round pick. I do rate him though.

Or perhaps McKay has a good knack for spotting talent, Cripps looks the goods and tbh as it's stands there is no one taken after Cripps that I would rather have probably with e exception of Lewis Taylor but I still reckon Paddy will end up the better player.

I'd say in his job as General Manager of Football Operations his viewing of young players around the country would be a lot less than that of a senior recruiter. It wasn't a post saying Cripps wont be any good I'd just rather our recruiters do the recruiting and not have people over ruling them with personal opinions

Totally agree, but I just reckon we have got lucky on this one.

Lucky with that one and unlucky he recommended Tom Temay at 35 who was a rookie prospect to many back then

No he wasn't.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Caleb Daniel 16.1 in beep test.

So elite endurance. Could be enough to overcome being the shortest player @ the combine.

****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****.

17 in beep test.

 

[jd2010]

No he wasn't.

Of all the ones I've read the highest he was was at #47 with most having him in the 50-rookie range. It's all rumours at this stage that McKay went over the recruiters heads but one thing that is certain is Temay was a bad pick up

 

[HARKER]

Tom Lamb pulled a 9.45 for the 3km run.

He's showing up pretty well through this draft camp.

Petracca pulls out with one lap to go with a limp.

Who told him to tank? My money's on GWS.

Did his ACL and has just had LARS to take care of it.

Welcome to the CFC, Christian.

So if we take 6 to the bank as expected, who do we take?

Laverde?
Durdin?
Ahern?
Pickett?

I'm on the Laverde bandwagon.

 

[Cringle]

1. La Verde
2. Durdin
3. Ahern
4. Pickett

If we have #6, it may be from Lever, Marchbank or Durdin. Could even be Wright.

If we get Jaksch and Jones why do you suspect we'll choose a KPP with pick 6?

Hiscox just broke it with 9:17

 

[HARKER]

Because I think we'll take those we rate highest.

Durdin just seems to be a good fit for us but who really knows right now?

Hiscox just broke it with 9:17

That's a serious smashing.

Is this kid a mid distance runner?

Yep, had some good performances in 400 and 800 metres. Off to Sydney as an Academy boy though.
