The player our recruiters want.

Hey Sin, where did you have Garlett going in your mock, and where do you rank him on pure talent?

I find it hard to believe he could make it to 20 as suggested by the hun and bound for glory based on the bits I have seen of him (his 2011 highlights are better than 2012 iirc)

Yeah very high in both mate, top six talent who really needs to grow up and lift his work ethic but already such a good player and he's only eighteen. When he grows up it's scary to think how good he'll be and the club that does grab him will be laughing.

its getting to the point now where i'm exhausted about thinking who i want and who we will get, Putting my faith in shane rogers to pick a winner.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I've previously heard Rodgers quoted as saying that we need more speed. Any chance that we would pick Garlett or Simpson at pick #11. Not saying that's who I'd like to pick, if it is speed I'd prefer Kennedy

Didn't realize speed was intrinsically linked to aborginality.

I'm sure there are plenty of people as fast if not faster than thsoe boys, especially Garlett

Macrae or Mayes could be brilliant gets at 11.

Aaahh your so cruel to me RK

Surely you're not basing that on Emma Quayle are you? Or are you a club insider? If so i'll bow to that. Shifter Sheehan, AFL Talent Manager, certainly didnt pick Macrae as our target, and i'm thinking, he might have 'watched a bit more tape', and spoken to the club a bit more than you or Emma Q.

Not sure you can dispute Quayle's comments Mayes/Macrae/Jaksch would all be seriously in the mix for us if they are available at our pick.

wasn't picking them because they are aboriginals, it's because they have been linked at around the 10-20 positions in the draft.

My point was more the fact the I heard Rodgers talking that he was looking for players with speed yet posters have been talking about players like Stringer.

Yeah I think your right about that. Would seriously love if we took the punt on him.

Where did I say who the player our recruiters want is?

 

[coryne]

I would be happy recruiting Menzel but you would have to do it in the knowledge that he will most likely need his knee redone when his LARS gives way in the future

I'd say you're fence sitting but you have literally made a very detailed list of who you prefer

The LARS ligament is probably easier to replace than those damn cords in your whipper snipper.

 

[goreds]

SEN are doing an in depth draft conversation now...

 

[zeeCFC]

Has anyone got anything to report on Harrison Gill? Tested very well at the state combine.

In fairness, you stated Lonergan going to Richmond helps our recruiters get the player they want.

His point was Lonergan (or whoever) may be that player.

Guess I wasn't subtle enough.

 

[Silvagnis]

The pick of the crop:Quayle

No Garlett in Quayle's top 25.

They'll probably draft Sam Lonergan by mistake.

First time I've seen what most look like.

Hrovat and Menzel look like Carlton players.

Got an uneducated feeling O'Rourke will turn out the best of those suggested as possibles to be available.

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

I can wait to sit down on Thursday night @ 7pm to watch the draft on Foxtel, then we can finally find out who are going to be Carlton players, I Personally have no idea who we should or will pick..

 

[Sheephead]

This...

 

[Sheephead]

Sin's research and most things Carlton, and football for that matter, hold up pretty well Sheephead.

Have a look at the Phantom Drafts board and you'll see the effort he's put into getting to know the kids from a distance. You'll enjoy the read.

Like yourself my friend, it isnt hard to garner who those of the greater knowledge are. Like half a dozen others I could name I read with interest their input. On this occasion it was quite obvious to me that the poster had tunnel vision to who he wanted the club to recruit and was using whatever 'qualified' source he could find to 'push' his claim. We all have our views on who we believe would be best, but just because another poster disagrees, doesnt necessarily make them wrong either. At the end of the day, many a man did all the research possible and most didnt come up with Kane Lucas, and even less with Josh Bootsma.

Kudos to you Sin City if youre bothering to read my endless tripe, for your draft write up, very well researched and explained. Worthy read.

Can someone tell me how you pronounce Hrovat??? Too hard for me. Dont draft him. LOL.
