2010 Draft Watch Thread

[Sin City]

You're welcome Mr Woodhouse

You idiot

Did anyone blow it or make a great impression in the interviews?

You're welcome Mr Woodhouse

Haha, finally realised recruiting runners without skills wasn't working.

Reiwoldt 193cm, 14 beep

Lynch 199cm, 14.8 beep

KPF....He'll do!

 

[Silvagnis]

Don't quote me on this, but the group think suggets that Lynch probably won't get to our pick.

Not even if we get pick 14.

Caddy tees off at combine

Caddy has always been known for his clean hands. As an inside midfielder, his specialty is seizing on balls in dispute and dispatching them to moving teammates. His strong build gives him extra leverage at stoppages.

“I just concentrate on keeping my eye on the footy and not thinking too far ahead,” he said.

It was only his red-faced determination that enabled him to push past the 14 mark, a level that enables him to be considered among the elite endurance runners.

Perhaps it was mildly surprising when Caddy recorded 60cm in the standing vertical jump, but it was close to astounding when he dipped well under the magical three-second mark in the 20-metre sprint.

Caddy has never showcased his pace on the footy field because he’s always been busy burrowing into packs rather than breaking away from them. His aim now is to develop his ability to link up and break the lines.

“I want to develop that outside dimension,” he said.

Imagine the meltdown if we're lucky enough to pick Caddy ahead of a KPP.

Looks a Hayes type with his build and height.

Meltdown by whom, those who think Chris Tarrant will win us the premiership? Our list of tall midfielder/flanker types is just as vulnerable as our list of KPPs.

Wiggins, Johnson, Grigg, Anderson, Tiller and O'Keeffe are a good chance to be delisted. Add to that list Houlihan who has, maybe, 12 months left.

We still have vacancies for 'best available' players, if that player turns out to be the next Lenny Hayes.

Love the meltdown, especially last year.

 

[BlueGibbs2011]

Love the meltdown, especially last year.

Also loved the meltdown during the year (on this board) from weak defensive talls in our backline. Will also love the huge meltdown again this year if we dont draft/trade any in .

Some posters can just see a little further ahead than others!

Wiggins has retired.

Grigg could re-sign if we can't trade him.

Tiller and Anderson will probably get the chop.

Houlihan will play for another two seasons and give us depth until the next generation are ready to take over. Was in good form as a defensive forward who kicks vital goals and takes a good backman out of the game.

Johnson has probably done enough to play for another year.

I think we will keep O'keeffe because he's a good kick and can play a role.

Injuries have held him back.

 

[krayfesh]

I'd probably wait until we get a finalised drafting position, especially since we'll be active players in trade week. Still, I have preferences.

1. Smedts
2. Pitt
3. McCarthy
4. Darling
5. Watson

Although Id much rather the miracle occur and Lynch falls to us.

I can understand the sentiments over Houlihan but I think he is a one year proposition. I wouldn't like to see him spend all of 2012 in the Bullants ala Wiggins. 1 year deal plus 1 year's option if he meets KPI.

Johnson has no future. 5 games a year does nothing to develop our rookies who languish in the Bullants reserves. 46 games in 7 years on an AFL list - the very definition of a list clogger.

 

[Sin City]

Nice work Kray, you've almost got Pitt high enough

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Caddy would be a great pick up.

Mitch Robinson who isn't a ******* and can kick.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Pick #14 - Lynch/Watson/Darling/McCarthy

Pick #18 - Caddy/Jacobs/B. Smith/Smedts

 

[michael69]

Pick #14 - Lynch/Watson/Darling/McCarthy

Pick #18 - Caddy/Jacobs/B. Smith/Smedts

Yep, like this. But really hope we get Watson.

 

[jackoisno1]

Blayne Wilison at pick 36

 

[Blue and Silver]

Still not getting the Lynch love. Has a ton of athletic potential, but we have that in Hammer, would much prefer we go after footy smarts

Kind of agree. I think he'll be an AFL player, but I've seen him ranked by some people between five and eleven when he's really nowhere near it.

That's good! Some other suckers might pick him up at picks 5-11, leaving more of a chance for us to get who we want!

Hey guys not sure if many of you watched the Sanfl GF today but I am a Norwood supporter and I got to say that we definitely should have a look at either drafting or rookie listing Paul Puopolo This guy was just simply awesome today, has speed to burn, is extremely strong and shrugged of most centrals players today and he provided excellent rebound from the back 50. Is only 23 and his kicking skills are top notch. Commentators mentioned that a couple of Victorian clubs are interested hopefully we are one of them, because this guy could definitely help us in our backline and I feel has much more potential than say a Browne or an Anderson. He was named in the Sanfl team of the year at back pocket. Is he worth a Mature-Age rookie spot or even a draft pick?

You're welcome Mr Woodhouse

Can I get your thoughts on Aaron Young (Eastern Rangers)? He came second in the kicking test I believe. His brother is a mate of mine.

Bit short at 179cm....has that held him back (or down, i guess)??

Nah you wouldn't even know it when you watch him, would be able to match up on the fastest small forwards in the comp but hurt them on the rebound as well so I don't think his height would be a problem I mean he is taller than Eddie afterall

what kind of AFL player does he play like?
Armfield? Could he play a tag instead?
I'd rather go for a rebounding defender that can play 3rd tall too

Norwood website says 175cm so one would assume so.
