2014 AFL Draft Combine

[Some Idiot]

One of the American Blokes broke one of naitanui's leap records today i believe

He broke Trent Croad's record

 

[Membling]

Jack hiscox has the most endurance. He has broken 3km time trial record and has got an equal 2nd beep record. I see home becoming a Bradley hill style of player with a mixture of speed and stamina.

Hopefully no one bids and we get him as a rookie

 

[Quigley]

You still have to take him in the draft and not as a rookie.

Hm, thought that if no one put a bid on then he went to the rookie draft ala Brandon Jack. If not then last active pick in the draft.

At the rate our academy is going I only expect maybe our 2nd pick to be 'live'

Surely cannot be his real name. Surely

If you nominate him for the draft as an academy pick and noone bids for him you take him with yoir last pick. Of you don't nominate him and he doesn't get picked up in the main draft you can then pick him up as an academy rookie

Is that how Academy rookies work? Essendon overlooked Jake Long as a national draft rookie but have 'pre selected' him for the rookie draft, which ends up exactly the way you described. As a rookie

Father/son rookies and academy rookies work the same way. Brisbane has nominated six potential academy rookies, for instance.

On Monday is what opposition clubs value said players are worth?

For those not nominated as rookies, yep, bidding is on Monday at 10 am. For those nominated as rookies, it's left to see if people pick them in the draft.

Do you still need two picks , even with Rookie upgrades etc?

 

[Membling]

Do you still need two picks , even with Rookie upgrades etc?

Five players gone already, six including Membrey.
Pick up Heeney, Davis, Hiscox upgrade Lloyd, Biggs and possibly Naismith.

Who knows though.

 

[bergholt]

Do you still need two picks , even with Rookie upgrades etc?

It's three ND picks in total. Academy picks count as real live picks, so do Father-Sons. A max of one Rookie Upgrade can be counted as a live pick, regardless of how many you do.

 

[Phil85]

Does anyone have the results of the state combine yesterday?

 

[wills doggies]

Drummond's stats look impressive. Will be interesting to see where he goes.

Most underrated player in the tac cup

I believe the following didn't do any of the physical testing at the combine: Brayshaw, Wright, McCartin, Laverde, Heeney, Moore, Weller, Ellis, Blakely, Ahern, Marchbank and Wigg, amongst others.

All whom which look to be certainties to get picked up

All whom which look to be certainties to get picked up

Wigg is no certainty

 

[Procrastinator35]

Wigg is no certainty

With that left Peg I'd beg to differ!

 

[Membling]

Wigg is no certainty

Any team who needed outside run and if he was there at forth round would be silly to overlook

There's concerns over him athletically and defensively. He will probably get taken somwhere, but to say he's a certainty, well I'm not sure he is.

Wasn't Darcy Hourigan meant to be a certainty to get taken for instance?

 

[aussierulesrules]

No, I don't believe so. Someone on our board who follows the juniors very closely, has a lot to do with APS footy and has had a lot of spot-on mail in the past said a couple of days ago that Reece scored a "Queen Mary like" 12.81 in the agility test (either the other day or earlier in the year, but I think he meant on Wednesday).

When someone asked what "elite" is for that test, his response was: "Elite is anything under 8 secs, slow is anything between 10 and 12 seconds, 12 plus is catch a bus to be quicker." and he reckons his draft stocks will have taken a dive off the back of that, even though he did very well in some of the other tests, I guess largely because of how highly being able to tackle, chase and put defensive pressure on in the front half is regarded these days.

Scratch that, he was just having some fun with someone on our board who is a massive fan of Reece. He scored OK in the agility test, especially good considering how heavy he is. Only really poor results for Reece were the 3km time trial and the beep and surprisingly the goalkicking test.

Hourigan couldn't dispose of the ball like Wigg....Make no mistake, Wigg's foot disposal is elite....Can kick 60-70 metres off his left peg & hit a bloke on the chest ah-la Matt Suckling, with the ball not getting above 20 metres in the air....He's a certainty!

Anyone have the WA State Combine results?
