List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Discussion

[total football]

+ a speculative SANFL player (yikes!)

If we are gonna go back and try our luck in SA, let's hope it's Dean Gore who falls to us and not the 23 year old plodder Dalrymple has his eye on.

 

[Doggies7]

This exactly why I suggested we give Cooney a mutual hug and ask if Hawthorn want to do that scenario. I'd love Goddard even though I think he go three or four picks beforehand. Still, there's plenty to work with at that exchange/upgrade.

I don't know anything of Dan McKenzie. What's his transcript?

Has been performing very well in the athletics tests too I believe:


Pick 57: St Kilda – Daniel McKenzie

Position: Midfielder
Height: 183cm, Weight: 77kg, DOG: 17/05/1996
Club: Oakleigh Chargers
Projected Draft Range: 50 – rookie
Player Comparison:

A player who has a knack of finding another gear in big games, Daniel McKenzie has averaged just the 15 disposals throughout the home and away season. However, he made a big statement in the first qualifying final, notching 20 disposals, four marks and three tackles against Geelong in the Chargers’ one-point win. He rates among the best in terms of his tackling, marking and transition running. Although he doesn’t bob up too often on the scoreboard, he is the type of grinding midfielder that has nearly unmatched athleticism, rating elite in terms of his speed, endurance and agility. McKenzie also has an above average leap, allowing him to play taller than what he is across several positions across the ground. On the burst he’s unstoppable, but consistency and remaining in the game over four quarters the areas that require improvement – which, to McKenzie’s credit, he is working on.

State Vic screenings today. Dalrymple will have a close eye on Marcon from Willi who has been invited.

 

[dergert]

Brett eddy is a gun. Hope he comes in to our consideration

 

[Wizard17]

Guess who was on my VLine train the other day Dav1d. I'll give you a clue he is blonde and did well at the combine...

I saw Viojo-Rainbow at the Werribee vs Footscray game at Avalon, think I mentioned that
doesn't mean anything though, because he is from that area

my guess is McKenzie?

 

[goodcop badcop]

Anyone expecting to pay a 2nd rounder for Zaine? I'm expecting the worst.

 

[Wizard17]

Nah, you like this player a lot more than that btw I'm 183cm and we are the same height.

Oh and it was an Echuca service

I dont think we will draft him If it comes to that.

Is he worth that much?

 

[Wizard17]

We will he is quite underated by some on here the talent manager at Geelong Falcons said he was the best defender he had seen. Says a lot considering who came through there.

Wouldn't be totally surprised but I still think it will be a third rounder.

Nope
I'm actually expecting we might past to
if that happens

Drummond?

 

[boydsno1]

I'm loving Cockatoo. Just what we need. Will he last to our second rounder?

 

[Dav1d]

would want to be a brave team selecting him before then
and oh, we have two second round picks now

Drummond?

Bingo

 

[Dav1d]

Wilkinson is supposed to have a pretty crazy beep test, I've read

 

[Wizard17]

Few in there that would make good rookie choices.

Wouldn't mind Maishman now Tutt has ****** off looks a better player than him anyway.

 

[goodcop badcop]

Is he worth that much?

He seems to be right on the edge from media reports and I think he would be a pretty good replacement for Brisbane if they lose Patful. I wouldn't be all that surprised if Brisbane bids personally.

Do we bite the bullet or go with the best available at pick 2?

 

[goodcop badcop]

Do we bite the bullet or go with the best available at pick 2?

I suspect we will. He fills a need and I think he's shown he's good enough. He's beaten a couple good opponents in Moore and Wright, has good skills, athletic and reads the play well. This is probably an unpopular opinion though, as most on here seem to rate him 3rd round.

Cool, I also think we'd be crazy not to bid on Moore in the first round.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Surely not. Would essentially mean another club willing to use their first rounder on him (or the 4 below us using their second). That's how it works isn't it?

Correct, I'd let him walk in that scenario unfortunately

 

[VitalDread]

Brett eddy is a gun. Hope he comes in to our consideration

Have you see him play?
Only heard he's the leading goal kicker for SANFL
