Opinion 2012 draft thread.

I don't trust any Irishman whose name I can pronounce.

Fair call. But his first name is Ciaran as well I think.

Ha! Pronounce that!

I am happy to change the spelling of their last names to make them harder to pronounce if we get them though. More authentic that way.

Was interested to hear Tuohy is actually pronounced Smith.

Also weird to find out that Setanta O'Hailpin is actually pronounced Angry Irishman in the original Gaelic. Wouldn't have thought it would narrow things down much, if you know what I mean.

If we manage to sign Andrew Mcleod as an assistant coach - look for us to take Dayle Garlett in the draft.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

And Byrne I think. If we can only have one, maybe this explains how we let him slip.

EP? Crane? BiB? Anyone?

 

[Boltfromtheblue]

Is this big forward up as a free agent?

 

[zeeCFC]

Knightmare now has us taking Menzel at 11. I'd be pretty happy with that but would much, much rather a out and out midfielder or Stringer, who will almost certainly play midfield in time. Macrae, Kennedy etc would be preferable IMO.

Smith is a very tidy user, smart player and locks down on an opponent like no tomorrow.

Look for Cyril to go missing all tomorrow because of Smith.

Sorry to butt in to your thread, but this quote should get some more credit. Nice tipping.

Source?

I hope we go for Stringer or Jaksch because we rate the upside of our midfielders.

Knightmare can think that but when Andy McKay was talking about McInnes' knee reconstruction he said LARS had never worked in the AFL so I think we'll steer clear of him.

Malceski goes alright. maybe it only works with a jihadist beard

Except he had to have LARS a second time after the first one didn't work.

Hey guys, sorry to intrude but I'm representing Carlton in the Richmond board phantom draft, and I'm curious as to what your preferences might be for each of your selections? Not necessarily specific players at each pick, but the types you think you need and would like to see selected.

You'll probably just go for best available at 11 yeah?

Andy McKay talked about getting some big bodied mids earlier in the year, apart from that our recruiters generally keep their cards pretty close to their chest. Shane Rogers has said he favours players with leg speed.

Yeah def best available (unless its a ruck).

Just got you O'Rourke with pick 11. Happy?

How are your developing KPP stocks?

More than happy, great work

Our young talls are good, may look to add one more to the list.

CHRIS25 has shot this young kid Taylor Garner up to richmonds pick #9 and recons he is the next Nath fyfe, what are your thoughts on him sin?

I wasn't good enough to see Fyfe becoming that player so I should shut up

Nah, thought Macrae was probably that player this year.

Garner's got loads of X factor, pretty freakish aerial skills and a buggered shoulder like Fyfe as well.

 

[No1Suspect]

Sounds a bit like that walker guy who runs around for us...

Interesting if true.
Makes pick #11 just that little bit better.

These guys are pretty reliable. No?
