List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Discussion

[Mutt]

Quayle also reported we're into McCartin, not wright

Hmmmm. That makes things a bit harder for us then.

 

[Toastman]

Can all you blokes take a look at the McCartin "highlights " again , and convince me it's a good idea we sell part of the farm to get him ?
I am in need of some serious convincing.

I think the key with McCartin is that last year he was a far better FF than Boyd in the U18's champs even though he was a year younger. I still think he will go top 2 so it doesn't really matter whether we want him or not.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

The highlights package I saw of him doesn't do him any favours at all. It showed a couple of good things but overall doesn't make him look impressive. Think he is a level below the top key forwards of previous years.

I still think he'd be a pretty good top 5 pick up. Agree that he isn't worth trading up the order for though.

Personally think he's reasonably well-equipped to have a decent impact in the short-term but I think he'll get overtaken as some of the other KPPs develop. Would add a lot to us regardless but not sure his ceiling is awfully high. Just my opinion though. Wouldn't be giving up what would be required to trade up for him.

Physical, hits the pack as hard as anyone. Has deceptive pace on the lead and is very smart on the lead. He's good at ground level for a big guy and is field kicking is decent.

His main weakness is goal kicking, but his action seems ok so you'd think that could be fixed.

I know there's a big supporter base on Wright, but McCartin is the forward that would suit us better IMO. Think we need a forward with a more physical presence.

 

[TempleKelvington]

This would force us to use our second pick on him. You would baulk at that?

Well....given that I don't know a huge amount about Zcord and having only read that most have him going with a pick in the 40's then I would yes. I of course don't know how highly the club rates him, pick 25 might be slight overs but ok.

But from what I know.....I would pass.

 

[Roscoe_au]

Geezus, the officials don't rock up until 10am! That's morning tea time for me.

I just read that the Academy players have the same rules as the father/son rules. If we wanted Steel at 26, GWS could nominate their 2nd rounder and secure him anyway.

Need our own academy. Bloody rich &^%king clubs...

 

[Dav1d]

Hammelman not nominated

can still pick him up in the draft, is what I meant

not long now, till we find out if we get anyone via bidding

I would pass at pick 25 but wouldn't if it was pick 35.... 3rd rounder is actually about fair for ZCordy.

I'm not a coach, nor was I a great footballer. But, Cordy's highlight reel had him 90% behind his opponent when he marked the ball. Now, he was either playing on the same kid who kept running under the ball, he consistently pushed his opponent under the ball or he reads the ball really well.

I hope it's the latter 2. I hear he reads the ball well but he can't craft a career playing across half back sitting 3 metres behnd his opponent.

Twoomey saying clubs will bid as high as 10 for Jack Steele! and Richmond like him a lot

 

[TempleKelvington]

Yeah.....seems to me that he's rated about there or slightly higher. But he maybe a much better player than we think....it will interesting to see what we do if the Cats do bid 13.....There are some really good kids available at 13. They have been linked to Kyle Langford and I really rate him. So in effect they give up on him.....They would really have to rate Cordy....or as I suspect they know we'll take him with 25, they just wanted to make sure we paid the price.....who knows.

 

[Toastman]

Which is exactly what will happen with Darcy Moore if we land him.

I am of the opinion we HAVE to bid for him - but fear what will happen if we do land him.

I also find it staggering that Collingwood supporters see a club bidding for him as "spiteful"...this is EXACTLY what the system was designed to do - keep clubs honest and make sure they pay market rates for these kids.

Just concerned we'll put two years' development into a kid who will up and walk straight off the bat.

But that would rely on Collingwood spooning that year otherwise whichever team had first pick in the PSD would just grab him if he tried to walk at the end of his first contract.
That could mean that we just have to convince him that we're still a better choice than Melbourne at the end of his first contract which shouldn't be too hard.

OK everyone we're about to go. The bell has been rung.

I'm nervous..

Have seen his clips and can see why. He's no Bonti, but a quick wingman with elite disposal who loves a goal...I'm sold.

Bulldogs of old would have lost their nerve by now and put their hands up to grab Clive Waterhouse with #1

 

[TempleKelvington]

Pick 3 would get us Wright...guaranteed.

Not if he's taken in the first 2. The guarantee would be to have pick 1. Pick 2 would guarantee Wright or McCartin.

 

[Gmod23]

We bid on Moore and Pies matched it....

 

[Dav1d]

Twoomey saying Brisbane might not match bids on Dawson/Andrews, because of keeping a pick live for Collingwood

Andrews looks pretty solid in his highlight package

 

[Roscoe_au]

Come on Dogs! Nominate Moore to piss of the Pies and then tell the room, "Wright's leaving with us, you bast$%&s" before backing out slowly.

 

[Dav1d]

Can't bid with the Higgins pick either apparently

 

[Dav1d]

Most bids are been matched, gee

 

[TempleKelvington]

we bid on Moore. Pies matched it with pick 8.

 

[Dav1d]

4th round pick for Zaine?

 

[Wizard17]

Dannnnnnnnnn's back

Dogs bid for Moore. Pies match it and will use pick 8.
