List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Discussion

That's the spirit

Guess time will tell who's right and who's wrong hey

 

[doggies ftw]

I can't see Fogarty making it at AFL level either tbh, at the very least he gives us another big body to protect the young blokes but I can't see any significant upside to him. Would prefer to look elsewhere.

 

[ManOfClay]

Fogarty's the one with the tatts yeah?

At least he looks tough

There is no right & wrong, it's not a competition. I just find it pathetic how some people write players off straight away before they have even had a single minute of AFL development. Lin Jong was a great example, a lot of people can't believe how quickly he has developed & now can't wait to see him impact the best 22. When he was rookie listed people were saying he had no hope either

Fogarty wouldn't even be in footscrays best ten players so he is no chance , jong right at this moment at afl level would still be a dud

I like Fogarty. He's as hard as a cat's head, and he does the job when needed (eg. goal late in the prelim against Port).

He's slow-ish and he's not blessed with great skill, but I think at this point in time we could do with a journeyman to look after the young guys. I don't think he'll command a spot for too long, but you never know.

 

[black pup]

I'd draft him at 26 as well

I think we all would LOL

 

[Zgope1]

So it's appearing as though blakely may slip to our pick. We'd be crazy not to take him. Would be a very similar pick to the wines one from port.

He's quite quick, quite skilled and he's a bull- ready to play at top level. Running machine which we need too.

Get the man dogs!! Positive is that we get another pick straight after

D Mckenzie, menadue, McDonald, blakely, gore, vickers-willis, Maynard and Neal-bullen are available at 26/27x which 2 are you taking?

I'm surprised you didn't use the word "spud". Isn't that the favoured word used by people who have never played AFL or even VFL football in their lives?

Blakely, McDonald, then Maynard, V-W, D McK, Menadue, N-B, then Gore.
Would take any of these guys at 39, if they get that far. Or Kietel at 39 if they are all gone.

 

[goodcop badcop]

Surely the Fogarty thing is just a joke, he's just your average solid VFL player with limited upside.

Blakely and Maynard, Blakely is my fifth ranked player in the draft he does
things at stoppages that defy his age.

It's not a bad idea to rookie someone from Footscray. Shows we're fair dinkum about investing and developing in the VFL list talent, which in turn should hopefully bring in more talent. We've got 3 blokes on our list who have gone on from suburban footy to play AFL, so there's every chance we can attract the odd gem.

With my McDonald and EVW question, regarding if they can fit in our defense. I just thought to look up the geelong premiership side from 2011. Very interesting.

This is my proposed defense:

Wood Talia JJ
Roberts McDonald EVW

Now here is the geelong 2011 team defense:

Enright Taylor Wojcinski
Lonergon Scarlett Hunt

Now I'm not sure about you guys but-
Enright=wood
Taylor= Talia
Wojcinski= JJ
Lonergen=Roberts
Scarlet= McDonald
Hunt= EVW

 

[black pup]

I think it is worth saying, whether Saad Coburg, MARCON Williamstown, or anybody else from VFL has an AFL preseason IT wilL make an enormous difference to any one selected.
It will improve their skills, pace, endurance etc. I just thought I should mention this, as some of our experts on BF want to express their views on what they have seen.
That is not the real skill, it what is underneath the player and the upside that can be seen.

Biggest difference is the overall skill level, but mainly kicking skills. Taylor, lonergan, Scarlett, enright and mackie go down in history as one of the best groups of back men of all time, so no shame in not measuring up to that lot, but we still need better ball users back there.

Menadue and D.Mckenzie! R.McKenzie would be fine too.

 

[Super Hans]

Blakely and Menadue, mmmhmmmm.

 

[Dale4captain]

We're very keen on Vickers-Willis. See him as a tall extractor.

Not a massive amount. I haven't been around work for a couple of weeks thanks to Uni exams. VW is a priority at this stage, Fogarty stuff is news to me also. Haven't heard about that. Wouldn't be that pleased if he was rookied, better options out there tbh.

Blakely and EVW. We like d Nielsen as a key back so that makes it easier to overlook McDonald but he's a good prospect. Wouldn't sneer at him and one of those two I've said
