2012 draft

[UpTheGuts]

Not now. I will pass them onto a moderator in good time, before the draft.

Of course. Hope we go well and that you're keen on the options.

Heard that ages ago. However, there are two who we would take before him if they managed to slip.

Hoping it's O'Rourke, Mayes, Floss-Twin. That's discounting Grundy and Whitfield and Toumpas of course.

Yes, I'm discounting Whitfield, Toumpas etc.

Macrea would be the other one i hope we consider

 

[UpTheGuts]

but not Grundy....
This is fun

If you let me know I will pass it on to one of the mods for you

 

[TJTIGER]

didnt know draft camp tested how hard your nuts are these days - and I thought the finger up the quoit from the doc in a few years was gunna be bad enough

LOL They are developing new tests all the time rfctiger. Although I think they now do a blood test instead of the "finger up the quoit ". I get ur drift just a little uncomfortable

His last game was in the Prelim loss against East Fremantle on the 16th, he had 10 possessions and kicked 2 goals. Hardly a huge performance. Which game are you watching?

Yep, that one.

Stats are great hey, they measure the impact of a player... It's why if you plainly look at a stat line of Rioli you may not think he is as good as he is.

Did you see the game, or just the stats? I loved his impact, the things he did and his draftability. More impact in ten possessions than most get with 20.

After watching the game, it leaves me in no doubt he will make a massive impact on the AFL.

Edit: I actually sound like a prick and apologise, should not post straight after a long, long day at work. I think watching the game he had more impact than stats let on. Generally when I am assessing players I don't look at their stats till after I have reviewed my notes the first time. He seemed to be in the game more than just ten disposals and his goals were magic and momentum changing. I still maintain he is a top 5 talent and the one I would take for us if he is around at Pick 9.

 

[FootyIcon4]

Just curious, those that know, which current tiger would you compare vlastuin's pace to?

 

[_RT_]

My updated wish list for our first 3 picks:
9. Nick Vlastuin 187cm 83kg Midfielder
29. Nicholas Graham 182cm 76kg Utility
31. Rory Atkins 183cm 75kg Midfielder/Forward

We snare those 3 and I'll be happy on draft night.

Agreed.

 

[Brown Bottle]

Kane Mitchell anyone? Dominated the WAFL again this year...

 

[bananatigz]

Agreed.

and I

I have a bad feeling Graham will be gone though was far more impressed with him then Macrae watching the TAC grand final, dragged gippsland back into it

Kane Mitchell anyone? Dominated the WAFL again this year...

Meant to be the worst kick in the world apparently. WCE supporters are extremely uninterested.

Much more interested in Tom Lee.

What clubs they from?

Vlastuin-Northern Knights
Graham-Gippsland Power
Atkins-Calder Cannons

Good, prefer victorian lads

 

[Damo80]

I have a bad feeling Graham will be gone though

Seems a little bit of chatter about GWS's pick ~24 for Nahas... that pick could nab us someone like Graham (or Membrey!)

why always short people?

 

[Stylo]

Wouldn't be against us looking at Tanner Smith if he slides to one of our second rounders. Supposed to be the best lockdown defender in the draft.

 

[_RT_]

why always short people?

They are all 6 footers. Hardly what I'd call short people. Secondly they all fill a need, Vlastuin is an inside/outside midfielder, Graham is a utility who can play a variety of roles and Atkins is a classy forward who can also have an impact in the midfield.

 

[Greggy]

why always short people?

Should we have overlooked Cotch, being a diminutive 185cm midget?

 

[Brown Bottle]

Mitchell and Lee must both be worth a look. Priddis was supposed to be a horrible kick. So was Jobe Watson. There aren't too many blokes out there running 16.2 Beep Tests, gathering 25+ per game and kicking a couple of goals each week. Not too many have ever polled 58 votes in a Sandover. He's also won every media award this year...

I hope they're on our radar. Mitchell would look brilliant lining up in the middle next to the Mullet.
