2007 Draft - Gun Midfielders

[Prem87]

With Cousins & Judd now gone, and WC signalling our intentions to get some quality midfielders this year who will be available with our 4 picks 3, 13, 20 & 22. Cotchin, Masten, Palmer will all be first round picks, so who else should we look at and who will be the sliders?

 

[carntheroos4eva]

I agree with this. You guys probably should be looking at new midfielders who are most likely going to replace Cuzz and Juddy.

 

[BluesRules]

I would bypass Cotchin and go for a WA kid. If the tigers pick up Cotchin at 2, the Eagles will choose between Morton, Masten and Palmer. 3 good players from WA. It might be hard to find a quality mid if If the Eagles lose pick 3 and 13.

1. We will not lose the picks, we had a player **** up for the last time and he was dealt with. It is not like we systematically rorted the rules of the comp or anything!

2. We don't care where Cotchin is from, if he is the best, we will take him. That is how we get to the top so often, we always pick who we think is the best available.

What dont you understand.

We knew the risk when we re-instated Cousins, the AFL commision warned the club that sanctions would be imposed should any player on our list screw up again.

Whilst I dont think it will be draft picks, it is a huge possibility.

Personally I believe we will get a nasty fine.

I'm wouldn't be so confident about that.

A fine would be the best penalty, but the AFL might strip the club of draft picks.

Nah, we won't lose the draft picks. I understand the situation fully, I do not believe they will do it. That is my opinion. You have yours. They will not want to kick us while we are down. There will be a backlash from WC if they do.

Given that the AFL doctors gave the final OK for Ben to play again, I think it will be a fine.

It'll end up in Court otherwise, with the Eagles claiming partial culpability on the AFL's part.

Pick 3: Masten
Pick 13: Myers
Pick 20: Maric
Pick 22: Dawson Simpson

Myers will become a midfielder.

That would be a good result for the Eagles.

Maric would be a ripper get at 20.

 

[BluesRules]

Could Rance slip to 13? What a get that would be!

 

[heals]

Selwood will slip to 13 we should pick him up there.

 

[Genesis67]

I'm thinking Brisbane will have a look at Rance. Merrett came on in leaps and bounds this year, but there's not much behind him. They'll want to use Bradshaw up forward, create the double pronged threat with Jono Brown.

 

[AdamG03]

That would be a good result for the Eagles.

Maric would be a ripper get at 20.

I hope we take Maric, i like the sounds of him.

I'd love to have Masten (who would be just like all us supporters rite now, sticking behind the club), Maric and unsure on the other 2 picks (13 and 22 assuming we take Masten at 3 and Maric with 20)

I'm not sold on Palmer, he is said to be a freo supporter

And Dawson Simpson, is that the ruckman? I swear theres one in the draft by something similar to that name.

 

[eagles rule]

wow deja vu,
I remember us talking about this last week was it really that long ago.
I`ve heard masten is super quick,had OP so didn`t get a good look at him.Palmer looks classsy and he`s ready to play AFL , in some of those
sharks games he ran rings around more experienced players.

 

[Genesis67]

I hope we take Maric, i like the sounds of him.

And Dawson Simpson, is that the ruckman? I swear theres one in the draft by something similar to that name.

Yeah, he is.

207cm and 97kg. He's a big boy.

 

[boms]

Here is what i think

Pick 3: Masten (Just got a feeling you will go for a WA boy)
Pick 13: Rioli
Pick 20: Veszpremi
Pick 22: Notte

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

Here is what i think

Pick 3: Masten (Just got a feeling you will go for a WA boy)
Pick 13: Rioli
Pick 20: Veszpremi
Pick 22: Notte

thats paying a little over the odds for one player and picking up 3 big risks

I doubt Rioli will ever play midfield, Vezpremi has a shocking engine and Notte has to put of about 30kg's

 

[daics cousin]

The eagles will not lose any picks from this year's draft.
The danger is that if the AFL decided to sanction the eagles they may lose draft picks in next year's draft.

 

[Prem87]

Ill rather lose picks next year than this year. Its not often that you get 4 picks in the top 22 in a draft that is not as bad as people think.

I think we should go for big risks with some of our picks. We've still got very good depth of capable AFL players, but we're now missing a little bit of cream from the top. If a player looks like they could be an out-and-out star, but also could quite possibly flop, I think they're worth a pick 20 or so.

 

[Prem87]

I think our recruitment staff will know who are going to be awesome. Trust them.

 

[paran]

Well, the thread is about who the gun midfielders are, so I'd say Cotchin, Masten, Palmer, Selwood, Rioli, Maric, Ebert come to mind.

 

[Prem87]

Who would be left at 13? I think a lot of teams will be going tall this year so hopefully there will be a few midfielders who slide to us.

 

[juddy_Like]

I have a feeling that one of the bigger names will slip.

It happens each and every year... Schulz, Schammer, Hurn, Sellar.

So if Kreuzer and Cotch are gone.
Pick 3 - Masten
Pick 13 - Slipper or Myers
Pick 20 - McGinnity
Pick 22 - Dawson Simpson

 

[Prem87]

Whos slipper and mcginnty?
