List Mgmt. 2013 DRAFT

[Jeremias]

Anyway back to the draft.
Unless Lennon or Salem fall into our lap, I feel that we may see a player whose surname begins with D come our way with #13

I've said for a while now that I'd be perfectly happy should either Dumont or Dunstan end up in Navy Blue.

Both appear to be hard bodies who could possibly contribute from the get go and have the ability to play through the midfield as well as off the flanks.

More importantly both seem to be very solid in both body and mind with leadership capabilities. It is critical we start developing young leaders and either of the two D's would be a positive step on that front.

 

[Govinda blueboy]

It feels that way doesn't it?

Wasn't Dunstan touted as a top 2 or 3 prospect at the start of the year? Not that that matters but he does look like a good fit for us.

So do think that Rogers was bluffing when he stated that we'd be after more of an outside/distributor? I'm not so sure, also are the two D's too much like Nicky?

 

[Sublime]

Why is there so much heated discussion about a player we may or may not pick up? There is more talk about a late/rookie pick than our first pick.

You need to buy into Micks philosophy of everyone on the list being of equal importance!!!!

I get that your from Tasmania SC, but I just can't get my head around he can still be that bad.
If he is that keen on re-igniting his AFL career, I just can't see him still getting up to his old tricks.

Tough to do when it's buried so deep in the sand

You answered your own question in that last sentence.

 

[Bradschi]

A fit and firing 24 year old key forward who was taken a pick before Joel selwood is just what the doctor ordered!

Don't post that on the Hawthorn board

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Does anybody else see the hilarity in overlooking Selwood for Thorp due to injury concerns?

Put your baiting aside and explain to everyone why the Dogs wouldn't see Thorp as best 22 or depth if Jones breaks down.

Watch Hawthorn overlook the tall would be the perfect plug and play replacement in Franklin's role.

According to FB rumours (read: CRAP).

Fremantle are set to pip Carlton in the race for the services of launceston co-captain and former pick 6 in the 2006 national draft, Mitch Thorp.

Fremantle are linked to Thorp at pick 37, which is two picks before Carlton's pick 39.

The blues do not hold a second round selection after trading it in the deal that secured Andrjes Everitt.

Thorp was famously selected before Joel Selwood in the national draft in 2006.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Not really. They've got themselves 2 Premierships in the meantime.

I didn't ask for a perfectly well thought out and reasonable response.

 

[HBF]

According to FB rumours (read: CRAP).

Well we know a couple of posters that will be pleased if this is true.

-they could be playing funny buggers
-the article could be bullsh1t
-they might have more confidence in developing the ones they have
-they aren't in the position we are of potentially challenging in the next year or two and are happy to take the time developing an 18 year old with less questions marks on attitude
-they might be stupid and making a mistake, (hawks took him ahead of selwood) it happens.


We have a window of a couple of years until GC and GWS win the next 10. Why not have a punt on a reformed KPP talent that could contribute as soon as rd1?

Highlights and interview

I wouldn't be unhappy if he went simewhere else. Reckon 37/39 too high a price as our 2nd pick. If he's there at 51, go for it. But we could grab one of Hourigan/Harvey at 39 if we don't go for Macca at 13. Other talent that may be free at 39 - Holman, Knight, Miller, Giles, McStay, J. Kolo, Robertson, Brown and Conlon. With exception of Conlon (injury) I'd probably take any of the above before Thorp.

51 or let Freo take him at 37. Also - can't see them taking him at all should McCarthy last to 17 as Freo will jump out of their skin to pick him.

Yeah I'd agree with. 51 for thorp, no higher.

You'd want to back our recruiters in to snaffle a decent talent at 39.

Ross Lyon happy to burn to there second pick on him isn't a surprise considering the way he left the saints.

That highlight package reminded me why I'm really liking the look of Freeman. Would also be happy with either of the two D's or Acres.

As for Thorpe, assuming we're into him and he was available at a pick we were prepared to use, Mick will be the key to Thorpe working out at Carlton.

I'm confident in saying regardless of how big his head is or what his history is until now there is no way on this planet that Mick would allow Mitch Thorpe to come into the club and disrupt his plans for this team.

So, happy to have him because Mick would have had a big say in the decision and if we don't that's ok too.

 

[zeeCFC]

Can we break up the thread into individual pick discussion like that of TC? Sick of reading about Thorp.

 

[thylacine60]

bit racist

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

What are peoples thoughts on Mitch Thorp?! Could add something to our line up?

 

[Salaryman]

need to start tagging A_McKay as compulsory after posting the word Thorp A_McKay

Will make his week

 

[thylacine60]

you Hellenic idiot

My sarcasm meter is going nuts but i'll shoot anyways.
Thorp could be a more than handy HFF option, would compliment Everitt nicely.
They both have nice run and there height would help out marking shorter flankers. I could easily envision Everitt kicking it 50m to Thorp along the boundary line in true mick malthouse style.

 

[Silvagnis]

Imagine how Salaryman will react if we take Thorp ahead of a draftable player like we did with Rowe and Duigan. Might blow a hole in his rankings.
