Opinion 2012 draft thread.

[Silvagnis]

Think Freo got a KPP in Tanner Smith late. Long shot, but a good needs pick.

 

[Khanh]

Graham won the Morrish medal so if that counts for anything..

 

[Warsaw]

Are we sure that the club isn't picking again?>

 

[blueboys4lyfe]

Snoop's write ups in his phantom:

Menzel

Will go fairly early in the draft I suspect as a really impressive kid who has come on well this year and could push quite high. He will appeal to clubs because he ticks all the boxes. When you watched him last year you would have called him an outside midfielder but he was very influential at the stoppages during this year. Equally, he is one of those effortless athletic types and has a nice turn of speed which has damaged teams at the back end of games this year. Outstanding ball user bordering on elite and but the thing I have noticed with him over last 2 years is he generally makes very good decisions around stoppages. He is clean with his hands and his decision making and execution are very good. No obvious flaws for him and think will thrive in an AFL environment

Temay

Not much talk about this kid but I am a real fan. I just think he looks pretty polished and rarely seems to make mistakes. HBF type who is very competitive and has a bit of dash about him. Nothing wrong with his ball distribution at all in fact always seems to use it really well. Probably just held back a bit because he may be seen as a bit one dimensional. I guess there are a few of his type so a bit of a lottery as to where he goes but he will go somewhere i would think

Graham

I have seen a fair bit of him and I can make a case for him to go higher than this. Reminds me very much of a Parker / Ellis / Toy sort of player from previous years and who looks most comfortable as sitting on a HB or BP and using his ability to read the play, provide an option and then execute really well. Has good endurance but probably lacks the yard Ellis has so I think he might drop to about here. Very competitive and hard at the footy and when gets a decent shape on him he will be a terrific inside midfielder. Terrific kid and he has some real upside as think he might thrive given his competitive nature.

[Blue and Silver]

Predicting Hun's assessment:

Carlton: D

 

[Big Sim]

No rookie upgrades? Where does that leave Ed?

 

[Claypigeon]

Shouldn't those passes be rookie upgrades?

 

[Cringle]

LEVI

 

[Blue and Silver]

Who is this Casboult kid?

 

[Juddalenko]

I think North Melbourne & Port Adelaide had fantastic drafts.
