2015 AFL U18 Championships

[gillo94]

Need to finish last, Brisbane and GC need a fower fwd just as much as us so I reckon Schache will be #1 with his performance at the nat champs

Suns don't need Schache. Have Lynch and Dixon. Lions will take him if Blues dont

Either way top 3 looks to be excellent this year. All 3 clubs should get a star no matter who they choose.

 

[Old navy]

IMO Wietering Schache and Francis will be top 3.
Only the order is not clear ATM.

I would so love to have another pick in the top 4. I hope we make some trades with Saints or Demons. Tucker think stocks will fall due to his carding today but if we get best tall and best mid along with Silvagni and Rice I would be very happy

Also have Sam Day former pick 2 in 2010 draft IIRC.

Keays was BOG for OLD this weekend.
Be intersting would GS bid on Ben Keays with the first pick? Would Brisbane match it with there first?

I don't see Blues, Stk or Suns bidding on Keays. Agree Suns won't get Schache, will be either Blues or Lions IMO

They even have 2 meter Peter. So very unlikely they take another tall forward.
They will want Wietering
Francis being from SA may scare them off him.

Do you think Blues will go for Schache or Wietering? If Francis is available and commited I think Suns would consider him

I know the Big key forward is tempting. But I really like Jacob Weitering, there is a reason why he is captain of Vic country.
Weitering still has plenty more development left in him and I think he will be able to play forward too.
SOS is a big Weitering fan. He would be the safest pick..basically zero chance of being a bust.

Think Hawks taking the local Jarred Roughead@2 gun junior KPD. Was the safest pick.

So what are you going to offer up for another top 4 pick? You can't just say "trade with Melbourne or St Kilda", there has to be a trade to happen. Carlton's list has nothing that is even close to worth a top 4 pick. Nothing. Don't forget St Kilda and Melbourne are also rebuilding so you probably can't trade one of your experienced players to them which makes it even harder...

Weitering and Collins were very good today .Stopped a lot of SA forward entries. Walked past Weitering after the game, he is a massive man and ready to play AFL now. Read alot about him but seeing him live was a real thrill.

Gibbs, Yarran plus even few young ones I'd be willing put up for trade with picks would make good package. Depends how deep the draft is and if worth it for Saints and Demons

Not going to happen mate. St Kilda and Melbourne also need early picks you realise...?

That's what I mean. This kid doesn't even turn 18 till the end of the year. Wietering will be a 10yr-12 gun
KPP of that there is no doubt.
IMO he would be the safest option for the number 1 pick.

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

Weitering - GCS
Schache - Carlton/Brisbane
Francis - Brisbane/Carlton
Parish - Melbourne
(Dunkley - St.Kilda)

 

[Damon_3388]

B: Kade Kolojashnij - Steven May - Rory Thompson
HB: Adam Saad - Jacob Weitering - Jarrod Harbrow
C: Jaeger O'Meara - Gary Ablett - Michael Rischitelli
HF: Harley Bennell - Thomas Lynch - Jack Martin
F: Brandon Matera - Charlie Dixon - Sam Day
R: Tom Nicholls - David Swallow - Dion Prestia
I: Jesse Lonergan - Touk Miller - Trent McKenzie - Nick Malceski

Potentially a very high-quality backline there on the Gold Coast next year.

i watched Tucker closely today and didn't think he had much impact at all. Provided minimal run from HB and had about the same influence on the game. His clash with Tahana summed up his day, very poor act.

 

[TBellicious]

Two great performances this round
Schache and Silvagni. Blues could end up with both so nice forward line in the making

Don't get hyped up about Silvagni..

 

[TBellicious]

Looks like Weitering will definitely be pick 1 and at this rate Schache at 2.
Carlton and Gold Coast fighting it out for pick 1 this year.

Carlton get pick 1 then keep Henderson and get Weitering?
Carlton get pick 2 get Schache trade Henderson.

Could be very interesting come the end of the year

Let's just forget Father-Son implications and who could be drafting where for a moment. If we have to rank this Jack Silvagni kid in context of his draft class, where would people realistically rank him? Top 10? Top 20? Top 30?

Jack does the simple things well ... pick 30-45

Top 50- In my eyes 30-50. He hasn't shown much this year, be it at TAC Cup or APS (school)
