Spoiler: Lore's 2020 Draft Order

 

[Pykie]

I can't really remember the last big bodied u/18 forward that's actually turned out any good.

Probably Hogan. Before that, Tom Lynch 9 years ago and he was a fairly athletic string bean.

Boyd and Patton looked like future champions and for various reasons have turned out duds. Boyd was unbelievable as a 17 year old.


The strike rate for picking a decent key tall in the top dozen or so picks in the last decade is about 15%. Buyer beware.

However, knowing that, McDonald probably because the next Carey......


Naughton - hit - was a string bean, not a power forward.

Boyd - bust (im not copping a 1 game career, was hopeless for the majority of it)

Patton - injury bust

Logue - is just coming good

Weitering - coming good.

Schache - bust

Francis - bust

Weideman - bust

H.McKay - jury out. Certainly no champion imo.

Hipwood - decent enough

Himmelberg - see above

Marchbank - meh

Durdin - bust

McCarthy - meh

Danniher - hit

Jaksch - bust

Longer - bust

Tomlinson - meh

Sam Day - meh

Tom Lynch - big hit.




Even someone as good as Luksious was (not that he was a big body), looks like ending up as a CHB or rebounding 3rd tall defender.


All the best ones Moore, Danniher, Lynch, Weitering (to an extent) were all highly, athletic skinny KPP prospects.

If the misses keep going the way they are, they will get relegated down the order similar to ruckman were 7 or 8 years ago.

Any idea what his current projection draft range is?

What’s happened to marchbank

 

[North Viking]

We need mids but we have holes all over the ground. In other words we're miles off it. He looks like a 600 goal CHF. If he's the best, we take him.

If we were set to pick him up at 2nd pick. I wouldn’t be against trading Brown out for the extra picks. As much as I like Brown I just can’t see him part of our next premiership tilt in 4-6 years.

Yeah probably right but Kpd and midfield is probably More pressing need

Agree I'd be happy too but in my opinion I think they are wanting a tilt before that and while we do have cunners brown higgo goldy Pitts Tarrant jz

What about hb and small fwd... we have a few options for kpd whether they come through or not is another thing ie durds bmac and mmcg.... midfield we have a few options but HB and small fwd are gaping holes surely

Not with top 10 picks.

 

[Boristown]

McDonald will turn out better than Ugle-Hagan, IMO.

You will need a top 10 pick for a quality small fwd unfortunately minimum

McDonald does look pretty athletic.

I was only referring to McDonald athletic rather than big bodied.

 

[spurs]

Far out....really? If that's the case we should pick McDonald. Last year, when I saw Ugle-Hagan play he was the best forward I have seen for a long time...will be a star!

I fully expect him to rocket into pick 1 contention before long, and it's only the 'unknown' factor of JUH missing the year that will keep McDonald from being the obvious #1 pick.

Kid has it and plenty over in WA have known for a while.

 

[LB2Snake]

Caleb Serong with RS nom this week.....interestingly went at the pick we gave up in last years draft. Looks a seriously good young player. Midfielder with pace and class. Hmmmm.

He obviously wasn't on our radar

 

[Wild Bill]

Special performance from Logan McDonald for Perth today. Rocketed into our first pick contention. I’ve watched the last half of this game, he’s outstanding

Just saw his highlights. If his form continues there is no way he is getting to our Dees pick - WA boy - won’t get past Freo.

Agree he looks outstanding.

 

[Passmore]

Grainger-Barras looks damn good as well.

This is why picking footballers never has been, and never will be, a numbers game.

Are Powell’s still banned from north after mark - that Tom sounds ok

Grainger-Barras looks damn good as well.

North go to draft after mids and end up with McDonald and this guy.

I think we’re after talent regardless of where they play.
