Opinion 2012 draft thread.

[krayfesh]

Only to be let down as Carlton select some unknown "great athlete, unlimited potential" from outback Northern Territory.

It's Carlton.

We draft our smokeys from Tasmania.

 

[zeeCFC]

Yep...nothing but gentry for the blues...

always feel bad for Robbo in this pic. All he's doing is looking like a thumb and poking his tongue out.

eddie looks off his face though :|

 

[Sin City]

Anyone in particular Sin?
I recall this time last year people were praying that Dobosz might make it through to our second...there will be surprises tonight.

Basically anyone who I have ranked of the pick number ahead in my personal rankings.

I'm with you on Membrey, can't think of a third tall defender in the league capable of stopping him for a full four quarters. Colquhoun, Graham, Tipungwuti, Sumner, Towers, K Martin and Taylor are some others I really like this year. Ben Rioli unlikely to be picked but he's my Dylan Riley for this year.

 

[Silvagnis]

Second pick is shaping as more interesting now. High profile slider like in 2010? Could a Membrey sneak through?

Hoping for another Robinson, rather than another Steven Browne. Many felt Suitcases wouldn't get through to 36.

 

[goreds]

Knightmare, who knows his stuff, says Steve Johnson.

Better over head!

I still think the other Menzel is as good as Stevie J and would have destroyed the comp. if he hadn't missed a season...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

What time is it on tonight?

 

[viking12]

hoping one of either macrae, stringer, wines or kennedy

really hoping wines slides to pick 11

 

[Sin City]

What time is it on tonight?

At 7 on FoxFooty mate

Tks SC, been busy watching the Aussies paste the Saffers.

 

[Warsaw]

Does 7 mean the draft starts at 7, or we get fluff for 40 minutes and then it starts??

 

[Sin City]

Think the first name gets called out at 7:08

 

[No1Suspect]

Will be happy enough with any of Wines, Menzel, Macrae, Mayes, Jaksch, Stringer, Vlastuin, Simpson, Lonergan...hell, even Grundy. Can't lose.

One can dream!

Sadly, Macrae is a lock at Pick 5.

honestly i cant see port picking up wines.

just feel that he'll seek a trade back to VIC after 2 years. seems there are a few kids in the past years seeking trade back to home state.
think port will pick up grundy which may create a greater chance for blues to get wines

plus do blues really need menzel?
just feel we need a midfielder. if wines is gone would prefer kennedy or hrovat

who will Melbourne pick up then?

 

[Silvagnis]

Callum Twomey claims Wines to Port.

Who really knows?

Just half an hour to go before we can look forward to the rookie draft.

Looking forward to the annual event of the media giving Carlton a C+ or D for our draft...

Melbourne will take Toumpas. That's a done deal by the sounds of things.
Port won't take Grundy over Wines. They could take Mayes though.

sorry just edit my post, meant grundy

 

[bluejones]

So.... AFL 'Draft Radio' is just SEN.

 

[viking12]

does anything think we need menzel

i think we should pick up the next best available mid

 

[Sin City]

Menzel is a mid.

 

[viking12]

Menzel is a mid.

isnt he more of a forward

 

[BluesMan]

isnt he more of a forward

Rotation, rotation, rotation.

 

[TerryWallet]

Menz will have the Harris and Heatley stands jumping like Jono and Buzz had it jumping.

 

[Vin Catoggio]

Here at the draft - great to see Mick at the Carlton table, and has his back towards the Collingwood table next door!
