Autopsy 2016 National Draft (NM Picks: 11; 32; 33; 80)

[Kangaroos4eva]

Between Clarke and Atley, who is more likely to slip to our second, do we take either and who has the greater upside?

 

[rippersnipper]

I want Venables so bad.

You should tell him how you feel, man

 

[tales129]

Florent has Harper written all over him

Both will probably be there, would prefer Atley. Clarke is a taller, left-footed version of post-achilles Andrew Swallow. Good at clearances by hand and tackling, tries his guts out but limited on the outside. Atley is a much more rounded footballer imo.

 

[Rooboys Rool]

The thing I find most exciting about all this discussion about who we should take in the draft and how they would fit into our list needs is that we clearly have a sh!t load of youngsters at the club just raring to have a crack at senior football. Looking forward to next year!

 

[Egga]

Thoughts on bidding for koby mutch with one of our 2nds?

Inside/outside mid who apparently is lower down the list of potentially matched bids by GWS

nah, not mutch.

In what sense? I'd have said that about Venables if anyone.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Florent is like a quicker Bastinac I reckon.

Much more desire defensively though..

Seems to play with a lot more heart in general.

Med-fwd/outside mid
Evasive
Xfactor
Had issues in 2015 with disposal count and impact on games

Dunno just not sold on him

 

[tales129]

Have word that we've had as many interviews as gws with one of their academy boys. Flew out to see him the other week

Us/gws daylight 6 other clubs.

Looks likely we will bid on him

Fair enough. I reckon the fact that he's still managed to average 20 touches this year despite dealing with some pretty heavy personal stuff, and saved his best footy for the finals and the All-Stars game, bodes pretty well for the mental side of footy.

I hope we bid on Perryman at 11, even thought GWS will match. Such a natural footballer.

Macreadie will get bid on before 32, although there's a chance both Sproule and Mutch are there. Maybe we love one of those three and know that bidding at 11 will likely mean they don't match?

Think we will take best available at 11

Mentally?

 

[DunderHead]

Not sure where all the hate for Florent is coming from. If Hawks picked him up we would be falling all over ourselves in two years to trade two first rounders for him.

If someone better slides then go for it but this kid looks a jet. Nice skills, hard worker with a bit of xfactor. Can play outside. With Wells gone we have no one like this.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Florent, Venables, Gallucci, Taranto and if by some miracle Brodie slides should get one of these 5 mids

 

[DuckYeah]

hmmm, reckon Hibberd ticks most of those boxes...racking up disposals when moved up the ground for werribee last year. I don't know much about any of them but I got a good feeling about the boy Florent.

Well, he starts rnd 1 v west coke

there is a little voice saying bid on Jacob Allison at 11, I don't know why, maybe I just want to scream out "fruity" at the football, curious as to an insight why he has drifted so far this year.

Looks huge. Ready made for AFL, would be great to get a new recruit enough games to challenge for the Rising Star for once

The kid is a very interesting prospect.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

hope we look at Josh Green for the rookie list.

 

[Nate1993]

What pick is Venables likely to go at, also hope we use pick 141 to replace the washing machine we traded for Ed Monnix (marley williams)

 

[SpiderBurton22]

hope we look at Josh Green for the rookie list.

Just heard on the news he is linked to *.
