List Mgmt. 2013 Draft Discussion

[mambavino]

Tristan foenander has us taking aish. Is he the only one?

Seems like it's just based purely on gut feel though.

@TFoenander So you think the Dogs supposed love of Bontempelli is overblown? - 21 Nov

Tristan Foenander@TFoenander
@pcraig24 Not sure how to read it. Whether it's love or due diligence, I'm not sure. They met him again on Tuesday. Aish & Scharenberg safer

 

[Chris Grant]

Is there anywhere online which will have a live update of the picks for those who will not be at a TV?

SEN

I personally think they cover the draft better then foxtel.

Please take Aish. The domino effect should help us greatly. Plus Aish is a 2 time all-Australian and dual premiership player already. Gun.

Everyone sees it . Except our recruiting staff

 

[True Dog]

Most info supplied to journos comes from other clubs...... They just put the puzzle together. The one that does the best job looks the smartest

I think two days ago we were a lock to take MB but today the mood has sort of shifted back to it could go either way type of situation.

 

[BIG_BONTS]

Any chance Boyd could slip?

GWS could pull the trigger on Billings and Kelly...

Is the mood just a feeling or has there been word that you guys have changed your mind?

No word, just reports from EQ that we're still disscussing Aish and Chris Grant has a source that says he wouldn't beat all surprised if we picked him over MB.

Apparently MB is the favourite but we were still tossing up who to take

 

[yebiga]

Anyone think we should go for Nelly Tuggin with one of the later picks
Reports say he could be dream pick for us

If that happens he goes to St Kilda at 3

We'll need jedi mind tricks to get him to 4

 

[Reptilia]

Bontemother****ingpelli!! please !!!

 

[Super Hans]

Scharenberg pls.

 

[True Dog]

The force is strong in him......

 

[yebiga]

Hey! Is bontempelli one of the ninja turtles?

 

[immortalmike]

Prediction: If we don't take Bontempelli and he becomes a superstar, at least one of the Danny from Droop st types will get on the recruiting teams case for never taking a risk like the big teams.

 

[ossie_21]

Bontemother*******pelli!! please !!!

Scharenberg pls.

Pick 4, the division is strong on this board!

Aish please

 

[timtamWB]

I want to be different, Billings please

So from what I've gathered, Bonts looks like the favourite, but nowhere near a lock for pick 4. Others are Aish, Scharenberg, assuming that Boyd/Kelly/Billings don't slip. So nothing has changed. Correct?

 

[Kelvin31]

My late good mail is this...and you take it to the bank:

Sorry but I can categorically state that we will NOT get Aish or Schara tonight.
Macca and co just don't rate Aish's game (as high as some), Schara did not interview well and did not gel with Macca at all (was listed as a ordinary bloke).

Boyd and Kelly are gone.

So Tonight in order of availability we'll take Billings first;

then

Bonts
100%

I'll throw some names for 42 and 60 in the other thread at 7.

The Herald Sun rated each club's drafting over the past 3 years. We were the only club above 8/10.

WESTERN BULLDOGS
No.1 picks: Adam Cooney (2003)
Best bargains: Chris Grant (105, 1989), Brian Lake (71, 2001), Danny Southern (92, 1992), Ryan Hargrave (66, 1999), Daniel Cross (56, 2000), Lindsay Gilbee (43, 1999), Tom Liberatore (41, father-son, 2010).
Biggest busts: Paul Gow (8, 1990), Sam Power (10, 2001), Jason Shields (16, 1989), Farren Ray (4, 2003), Andrejs Everitt (11, 2006).
Past three years: The father-son rule helped the Dogs land Mitch Wallis (22) and Tom Liberatore (41) in 2010 and their top two picks in 2011 - Clay Smith (17) and Michael Talia (39) - are coming along nicely. Tory Dickson (57, 2011) was a steal and last year's crop of Jake Stringer (5), Jackson Macrae (6), Nathan Hrovat (21) and Lachie Hunter (49 - father-son) all look like hits.
Our verdict (2010-2012): 9/10

 

[The_Bulldogs_Bite]

Still confident it will be Bontempelli.

Regardless, the club has done an excellent job in keeping important information behind closed doors. It wasn't long ago we leaked like a sieve.

I remember speaking to Fantasia two years ago and he said that was one of the issues the club was facing. They didn't know how info kept getting out. That has certainly improved ten fold in the last 12 or so months.

Gone a bit early but there's great signs from all those drafts.
