Recruiting Trade/Draft Talk III - Zaharakis for a SIG BET?

[Jade]

Hypothetical: IF Battle, Marshall and English are all available at 20, who do we take?

English.

 

[eDPS]

What do we do in the rookie draft?

R1: Reece Piper? Nick Larkey? Darcy Cameron?
R2: Shaun McKernan
R3: Yestin Eades
R4: (Jake Long for another year)

I'd like Larkey a lot, maybe Ronke if we don't think he will last till the end.

 

[DraftMe]

Love his size (193cm/84kg) and that versatility to play anywhere (including midfield).


Correct me if i'm wrong but was he Captain of the Jets this season?

Yes Co-Captain. Played off no preseason as well.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

No he didn't, that was a misquote by the AFL.

ok so what did he say weevz? intrigued

without doing to much research. What are some of his knocks?

without doing to much research. What are some of his knocks?

The biggest one was probably speed, but a 3.03s 20m sprint proved that wrong. His production was very good but not elite. And some are unsure of his best position.

He isn't overly quick or athletic and I guess he hasn't got a settled position. Most likely becomes a defender who can swing forward at times

 

[Scottie65]

I thought he was still 188 he didn't look much taller than that in the final he played in

just asked him.....i was wrong....i thought he told me he was talller...but hes 190 ,78 kgs.....my apologys

 

[DraftMe]

My final mock draft is up now. Putting together all of the news I've got, as well as taking into account my big board and the media insights. Check it out here!

If he grows any taller I think he will be a top 10 certainty

 

[freddy mercury]

If battle is Available at pick 21, do we take him in a heartbeat?

After that video it's a no from me.

Not really interested in Battle TBH.

Seems like a poor version of Laverde.

Don't mind me a utility at all.

If he does in fact become a midfield rotation or someone who could play spurts on a wing then I am sold. Think he has fast become a favorite of mine.

Ends up a midfielder in my opinion. And a very good one!

They're completely different types of players though?

Battle is a KP/3rd tall forward, Laverde is a tall bigger-bodied mid.

In the only game I saw of him live he started in the midfield and struggled but played the rest of the game forward and looked a lot better.

 

[WEEVZ]

No he isn't.

Lol don't let the fact the he's currently used as a half-forward flanker detract from the fact that he was drafted as a midfielder.

Dodod's notes

 

[Scottie65]

he will definitly grow taller....his old mate who ive been mates with for 40 years is 6,6....so i can see him getting taller....how much i dunno

 

[bombreys]

Best case scenario in my opinion (picks in order of my personal preference) -

R1. McGrath / McCluggage
R2a. Florent / Marshall / Venables
R2b. Battle / Graham
R3. Clarke / Long / Sproule
R4. Junker

 

[Andronicus]

Draft profiles and highlights packages have me absolutely convinced.

I now want every player. Every player in this years draft is a certainty to be AA and Brownlow medalist every single year.

 

[Jade]

What he was drafted as has absolutely nothing to do with what he currently is. He is NOT a midfielder.
