Opinion 2012 draft thread.

\ Membrey has barely rated with Carlton supporters but gee...looks like he could add another dimension up forward.

I've only seen limited footage, but I get the feeling that Membrey is one most likely to slide down the order.

Would not surprise me in the slightest if he's still on the table come the mid 20s.

Why so Jerry? Im Sargeant Schultz when it comes to the draft...is there a particlar flaw in his game? Outside of the horrendous tatt obviously.

 

[Sin City]

Who would you be most upset about us passing on?

For me, if Stringer is still there after our pick, I wouldn't be happy.

Plowman, Garlett and Macrae, all too good to be pick 11.

Stringer belongs more around Collingwood's picks if GWS don't take a risk.

 

[Silvagnis]

Cats would take Stringer.

 

[Gibba4]

Get Jaksch! KPF/KPD, you cannot go wrong. Add a Mid in the 2nd round.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Does Plowman live up to his name "off the field"?

Not sure why - and of course now that I've said I think he'll slide, he'll go top 5.

I can't put my finger on it exactly, but medium marking forwards that have limited exposure to the midfield don't necessarily seem all that high on the wish lists of recruiting staff.

Look at Rockliff from a few years back. I was dead keen on him but he wasn't even picked up in the National Draft.

 

[Gibba4]

1st Round- Jaksch/O'Rourke/Vlastuin

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

If Membrey could build up a tank and play as a midfielder also - I'd love to select him .... at Pick #36

 

[Gibba4]

2nd round- Hrovat/O'Brien/White/Towers

Hasn't Stringer been training with the Dogs? I had heard that and that they would most likely take him with probably pick 5 or 6

He did his AIS training with them last year and this year.

Yep you're right, but I wonder if the emergence of Rockliff/Darling/Crameri might sway the thinking a little. Anyone have an informed view of Membrey's potential to push into the middle? With many of our kids taken in recent drafts needing a fair bit of development I think I am just hoping for someone a little more ready made.

 

[Azul]

20 isn't really a slide for Membrey. Was never looked at top ten and has sat in most mocks anywhere around the 20s to even thirty odd.

Besides, Membrey looks just so Collingwood.

20 sounds about right, given most clubs will go for midfielders or KPP or rucks. Membrey is just the type of player that would complement our forward line but we will pick him only if he is the best available.

Don't need Membrey - Ain't that why we're selecting Mayes?

Membrey could well be selected with the pick they got for Dawes, which makes Melbourne look all the stupider.

 

[Silvagnis]

This is becoming insane .... I keep changing my mind everyday.

You are Adrian Dodoro!

With Daniher locked and loaded, Dodoro slackened off and only showed up for the last quarter of his games.

Today im on the Plowman bangwagon ... yesterday, it was Vlastuin and before that it was Kennedy ... #goingcrazy

Dayle Garlett here we come!

Have to back the club, Malthouse and the brothers to get the best out of Garlett.

Dennis Armfield might crack the shits at Garlett joining Carlton...

It would be great to have another skilled player wearing the number two guernsey.

 

[Omega Blue]

i'm just not feeling any love for Garlett, Plowan or Jaksch.
How long has menzel been touted as top 10?

I'm with you mate. They'll probably all turn out to be very good players but just can't get as excited.

To be fair though, I've over analyzed 3min video clips so much that I hate football at this point.

agreed i've seen so many highlights packages that i think that this is how footy is normally played, i'm in for a rude awakening come feb

You're not the only one...

Menzel is/was the one but the doggies want him so he will go at 6... *sigh*

 

[goreds]

So it looks as though our #36 may become #35.

Collingwood will win out again by getting #20 giving them three consecutive picks. How do you miss?

Not sure the draft goes that deep , Harks...

I can't get excited about taking an 18 year old who already has bad knees.

I'll be excited if our recruiters who are better judges of talent take either of these players.

Group think says Derek Hine never gets it wrong...

The letters in 'group think' and 'bandwagon' would be almost incinerated on your keyboard

Protecting yourself against a bad post bump down the line!

I'm just not sure what he'd think of that...
