List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Discussion Part II

[Googstar]

Did FJ just say we will be looking to draft more or did I read that wrong?

Did FJ just say we will be looking to draft more or did I read that wrong?

Said we should have more picks than last year.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

FJ never fills me with confidence. Looks and sounds like a big footy pundit.

Was hardly the most inspiring interview I have heard.

Nothing wrong with that.Why give away anything.

For those that missed it.

Asked about Lennon and how he has seen his development?
Said that the injury before the season hurt him a bit, but the kid is a very good decision maker and will have a long fruitful career.
Asked where he sees Lennon playing long term?
Says at the moment that he sees him as a natural forward. Says that he sees the game unfold very quickly up forward.
Asked about the make up of our list and the recycled players?
Says our aim has to always been to bring in the best young players and that the blokes that we have brought is have been brought in for a purpose which has allowed us to add a bit more depth. Thinks the contested part of footy has improved so much this year. Says that having blokes who can come in and carry the load in that regard put you in a good place coming into finals, not that it matters to us this year. Says that we haven't given up too much to get most of the older blokes and that we're still very bullish about the younger kids we've got.
Asked what our philosophy will be recruiting wise this year. Will we look to offload some players and hit the draft and the trade period.
Says that it looks like we'll have a few more picks than last year and that we'll look to bring in the best possible players and continue to build our depth. Says that we hope to finish off the year well.

That's the only similarity I can see.

That was pretty much the only comparison I was making. Still did some things that were handy and a kid that I don't mind with a latter pick.

 

[Dragonss]

Pickett for me,But i must admit i'm still a bit gun shy in taking him since our last 4 X factors have been so successful for us.(Tambling,JON,Roberts &Taylor).

McMahon was a gun.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Payne 193 I believe

Ta. Good player.

That was pretty much the only comparison I was making. Still did some things that were handy and a kid that I don't mind with a latter pick.

There were more than a dozen kids on the field who fit that description. Each to their own but he didn't impress me.

 

[Calcium Man]

Too early to tell if it's worth it. I wouldn't be against trading the pick for a 21-22 yo kid with some good development into him.

Who would you be targeting? The obvious candidates are GWS boys WHE, Bugg, Buntine, Plowman, O'Rourke and Jaksch... the rest are probably too valuable to just trade down for. Maybe Toby Greene expect he is clearly a d!ck and can't kick.

GC don't really have the depth of talent to trade down.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

McMahon was a gun.

Without the X

 

[theflea]

We don't want get higher than 12 to get the best talent with our first pick, but will the 4 wins v st's, gws and lions give us too much?

Easy fix.Bring Hampson back.

 

[richoatthedisco]

I will give FJ unlimited rim jobs for life if he can find us a Stevie Motlop.

 

[tigs2010]

They'd improve our VFL team for sure...

We might have seen one today in Garlett, question is is he a player that FJ and co would take.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Yeah, we might have. Apparently we're going after speed, so here's hoping he's that good and we get him.

 

[Nerflardio2424]

Jarrod Lavarde is that his name ? Could be a smokey

 

[Dragonss]

I seriously think we need to move Francis Jackson on. Always makes noob moves.

 

[Tigerbob]

I seriously think we need to move Francis Jackson on. Always makes noob moves.

I think he will get some better assistance this season.

I would keep him on but promote Luke Williams to head recruiter.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Depends... Do we send him RATD offer of rimjobs? Would that be of any help...?

 

[_RT_]

Yeah, we might have. Apparently we're going after speed, so here's hoping he's that good and we get him.

Knowing our luck, he'll go the pick before us.

 

[thetradesman]

Don't want Gartlett!

 

[_RT_]

Don't want Gartlett!

Why not?

 

[thetradesman]

Why not?

Know his type, no thanks

Would rather Cockatoo
