List Mgmt. 2013 DRAFT

[Chalky Blues]

Does anyone know why Anthony Miles got delisted from GWS he was a freakshow in the TAC comp a couple of years ago. I remember him averaging 30+ possies a game. Would love to see him in the Navy Blue if he is fit

 

[Chalky Blues]

Thorp is a must get, assuming he is serious about the whole AFL career, the guy can play. don't care what level he has been playing, when you are 194cm tall, have that kind of agility, mark above your head, kick straight and most importantly, have the footy smarts he has; its an easy decision.

he is a walk up full forward at Cartlon who can probably play off a wing if need be as well.

my worry is how he handles himself from a mental side; obviously he'd be an easy target to opposition clubs with his history. problem is, there is only one way to find this out.

I couldn't agree more and with the boys in the guts pumping it down to his throat. All he has to do is drill them from straight in front which is what we have struggled with the past few years since Fev left.

 

[Silvagnis]

blah blah blah..science..pfft...

Just pick players that can play football...If a club with 40 listed players, probably 100 staff involved can not set the trend for impressionable 18 year olds then football is a long way behind the rest of the world..

They won't make it if they're not committed. Dayle Garlett would be playing if he was as driven as Tuohy and Armfield. Club's can only do so much for these players.

So for me, its the best available KP player and then take some risks to get the best footballers regardless of personality and get them towing the line..

How do you get someone to toe the line after our experiences with Fevola?

Plus the rest of the guns who didn't make it or have underachieved for various reasons.

Each draft pick costs the clubs roughly around $150,000 or more. Clubs aren't going to piss that up against the wall on someone who won't fit into the team and the culture. No way, no how. With all the interviews they do plus the psych report, they'd know these players inside-out. No to anyone who won't fit into our team and create the culture we want to build at Carlton.

 

[Feva]

I have no doubt Thorp will get picked up but don't think he'll last till the rookie draft.

I think we will have to use #51 to get him

 

[Blue Dimension]

I don't know much about Mitch Thorp 'the person'.

But the idea of getting a mature age, talented and athletic KPF... that would be a great scenario if it came to pass.

I'll have whatever Shane Rogers is having!

Speed is king

He said Shane Rogers .... not Mat Rogers!

roger that

 

[Big Sim]

oh boy wowee

Thorp officially has a bandwagon, and its been pulled by big white horses with silver bells on their harnesses. Meanwhile the man himself has morphed into a cross between Matthew Pavlich and Saint Christopher. We MUST get him. Pick 13 I say!

As a matter of interest, is it just our board or do others have a Thorp bandwagon as well?

Mitch Thorp is not a true KPF, he is more a 194\195cm flanker. If you had a forward line of Henderson, Resting Ruckmen and then Mitch Thorp it would work well.

Even in the TSL, he spent a big chunk of time in the midfield, his role would be similar to Waite when he plays forward. He did manage 70+ goals in the TSL playing this role so getting on the score board should not be an issue.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Mitch Thorp is our Jack Gunston! .... haven't you heard?

 

[krayfesh]

If we draft Mitch Thorp with anything other than a rookie pick I will throw up everywhere.

Everywhere.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Emma Quayle thinks that McCarthy is a big chance to get to either Collingwood or Brisbane at Picks #6 or #7 ... which is probably a firm indication that he probably won't slip to us and as a result, will push one of the more highly rated (at least on BF) midfielders to fall to Pick #13.

But things are more serious now. McCarthy hasn't played since that day, though he's not far off being able to run properly and start training again. He'll be drafted next week and he won't have to wait long: he's a chance to go as high as pick six or seven, and won't get past the teens. He is this year's X factor.

It could end up like this:

GWS – Boyd
GWS - Kelly
St Kilda - Billings
WB – Aish
GC – KK
Coll – Scharenberg
Bris – McCarthy
North – McDonald
Melb – Salem
Coll – Bontempelli
WCE – Sheed
Rich – Lennon
Carl – Freeman/Acres

... am I missing anyone?

 

[Omega Blue]

dam, I've always been against getting McCarthy but as soon as someone else says they want him and says a few buzz words like x-factor and dead eye for goal, it makes me want him..... argh I hate being human.

 

[Weiterbot23]

That article makes McCarthy out as a space cadet.

Trying to play off this "I'm so chilled i never stress out or care about anything" card.

That plus no athletic ability leads this YouTube highlight watcher to NOT WANT!

Thank you someone to bring me back to my midfield bandwagon........ Lennon anyone?

Thorp turns into He-Man once he holds aloft his magic sword.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Think of the noise coming out of the CFC over the past couple of months.

Malthouse: More mids needed. Outside run required.

Rogers: Players that fit into the CFC way. Culture important.

Find a fearless, skilled inside/outside mid with leadership abilities and we may just have our man.

Albert Proud would have met that criteria *sigh*

He was interviewed on SEN yesterday morning.
Couldn't have spoken any better about how he has matured since leaving Hawthorn and returning back to Tasmania.
I have no doubt at all a club will pick him up next week.

 

[HBF]

He aced the 2012 draft - no reason why he can't back it up again this year.

Acres might be my final bandwagon with his X factor. Don't know how he took a mark running back with the flight. Was almost horizontal when he took that flying grab. Reminds me of Walker who has played everywhere. Similar athleticism and height as Walker. Snapped a goal from 50 off a few steps. Might go to Richmond. Ha ha.

Dunstan fits Rogers's comments with his reported leadership attributes.

 

[BM123]

Freeman or Dunstan for me. Speed ( MM wants more players who provide run) or big bodied mid with leadership ability. Was all for Crouch but looking at our list we already have Graham.

 

[Feva]

He aced the 2012 draft - no reason why he can't back it up again this year.

Not sure just yet whether he aced it
#11 Menzel - good player but shouldnt get this pick wrong
#35 Temay - was originally very happy but is still a fair way off senior football
#54 Graham - this may prove to be his best selection

Rookie Draft
Cachia - may struggle to be best 22
Collins - gone
