List Mgmt. 2013 DRAFT

[zeeCFC]

Knightmare actually doesnt rate Bontempelli all that highly, I happen to think he's pretty promising from elsewhere and the video ive seen. So its not just "oh knightmare said so"

And you still havent said who YOU would like to draft


Edit: Bontempelli has actually increased in his power rankings in the last update - he's at 5 now, wasnt that high before, Crouch down from top 3 to 9 though - that'll make you happy wont it

TG wants Garlett at 13 and Thorp at 39

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

knightmare picked Bontempelli in two phantom drafts.

Hope the professionals don't change their power rankings like knightmare.

I'm not picky as long as we get a good alround footballer.

A slider would be great.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

This is boring.

 

[BM123]

This is boring.

I agree. Hard to get too excited about draft picks since most players take a few years to really break into the team.

 

[Sheephead]

If that draft order originates - Bontempelli come on down

Too right. Bontempelli would be pick 13 w/o doubt if he slid. If McCarthy goes early, maybe to BRIS, that pushes a few down a peg and leaves us greater options. I'm thinking we'll get a real quality kid whatever happens. All good.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Can we employ a mad scientist who can combine Hourigan & Casboult into one player? Casboults marking with Hourigans kicking?

Just sayin'.

No doubting Dumont

As a Victorian native who crossed the border to South Australia when he was eight, he loves Melbourne but said the adventure of living in an unfamiliar city was enticing.

"I've always wanted to go back. I think I'll eventually head back to Melbourne, even if I do stay in Adelaide for footy.

"I've done a fair bit of work on my kicking over the last year - I used to be fairly average and I guess it's that confidence that I've been trying to take into my games."

No doubting Dumont

 

[Bradschi]

Dumont seems a bit introverted from that interview, draft the kid he'll fit right in

 

[Silvagnis]

Or he's tanking to get to pick 26.

Dumont's desire to be a physio or pharmacist ticks the most important box for the drug cheats.

I feel this is a good opportunity to draft our own KPF with Mc Carthy if still abouts at pick # 13.
I mean there are are more than a few decent inside mids on our list ATM ,
Unless of course one of the previous mentioned young blokes in this draft is Diesel like in close just got a feeling , a good one that we should take a good punt on Mc Carthy who from all reports will be good to v.good in the years ahead

So I've avoided this thread during exams and all draft related stuff really. When I read that Lennon was a mad Carlton supporter I looked him up on Instagram and turns out there is a picture of him and big lance when he was a kid in the Carlton rooms. What are our chances of getting him?

From reading the posts we need someone like a McCarthy to go before 13 for someone to slide. I think having pick 13 is a good spot to have. Just like last year with the Menz, the mid first round position is where sliders tend to get picked up.

From what I've seen/read about McCarthy, I'm kind of hoping we stay clear of him at 13. He is the 2nd best KPF in the draft, but I realllyyyyy think we need to take a mid with this pick. And I'm hoping McKay was right when he said on radio during trade period pick 13 will be used on best available mid.

I think Lennon is the most realistic (but that's probably wishful thinking) at lasting to 13 out of my favourites. But of course I'd be happy if there was a slider like Menzel last year like Bontempelli or Kolodjashnij etc at 13 .

 

[Omega Blue]

yeah Lennon would be my ideal pick too, a lot would have to go right for us though.

 

[Sin City]

For anyone that missed the TAC Cup GF here's the replay featuring Boyd, Honeychurch, Walker, McStay, Apeness, O'Sullivan, Hartung, Foote, Jones and McCartney among others.

Also the SANFL Under 18 grand final featuring Giles, Karpany, Spina and a few others that may be in contention.

 

[etsal1]

Not sure if it has been mentioned here already, but I just read that McCarthy has been invited to the draft up at the Gold Coast. Is this what generally happens to potential top 10 picks or anyone who could go in the first round?

First round. Grundy and Menz were invited last year as TG mentioned in another thread

 

[Silvagnis]

They'd want to cover any bolters to avoid embarassment. Would love for this situation to occur on draft night.

Why wouldn't they invite Sheed?

 

[Bradschi]

where are people reading the list of kids that has been invited up to Gold Coast for the draft?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Is anyone concerned that Lennon is more of a flanker currently than a pure mid?
I guess I just dont trust out ability to play players in positions that suit them - re:gibbs

We have got a fair few flankers and wingers on the team, not as many elite centre circle blokes

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

I know the Draft is 21st November but can someone please tell me what time the draft is on? Also is it being shown live on Fox Sports? Thanks JnBs..

 

[gandaal]

There was an article that mentioned McCarthy was the only WA kid invited to the draft.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

The article in the West Australian re: McCarthy states that the Lions will take him at #7 if Scharenberg is not there, and if the Lions do take Scharenberg then Collingwood will select him at #10 (not sure why though?).

Despite the midfielders in this draft, and the fact that everybody wants a slider from the top 10 to fall to our pick, I think our recruiting team may find McCarthy too hard to pass up.

Honestly, I'm changing my mind daily (depending on media hype and which highlights package I watch), so I wouldn't be unhappy with any of Freeman, Salem, Acres, McCarthy, Crouch, Lennon at our pick.

So it appears that Travis has seemingly got his life back together and has sorted himself out. Still pretty young (25 years), best clearance player in the SANFL with good disposal skills - did impress me in a NAB Cup game against us when he was a Hawk.

There are two schools of though to this on my end:

1. He would provide a ready made, big body around the midfield to add to our rotation and would be relatively cheap (possibly our last draft pick?), however

2. It seems that he is finally settled and is enjoying life now that he has a girlfriend and that his brother has moved over there to expand their business ... given what he has been through already - he's mentally in a good place right now, so I'd leave him be.

Collins, who coached the 25 year-old at West Adelaide this season, described Tuck as the SANFL's best clearance players and a walk-up start for a club looking for a big-bodied midfielder.

 

[Omega Blue]

I've been a fan of tuck for a while, but I hope he stays in SA, finally got his house in order, some things are more important than a footy career.

Very deserving of a chance, but IMO does not fit our needs. We need talented young mids to provide the next generation. The team will be better served getting games in to Bell and Graham, and picking up one or two mid kids in the draft. Not against mature KPPs but we have enough over 20 yo mids.
Could "afford" to spend a rookie pick, but that would not be doing him any favours.

 

[Weiterbot23]

I've got two mates who played against tuck in the vfl a couple of years ago and were adamant he was nothing special. He might have come on a bit since then though.
