List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Discussion

[yebiga]

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say Reece McKenzie WON'T get drafted at all

The kid would need to be a first rate tool
On football ability he gets picked between 20-30
If we were to pass on him it would be very annoying

 

[total football]

Because recruiters hate undersized full forwards in general, he was the leading goalkicker in the under 18 champs, he would've been scouted by every club, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't need to consider himself lucky to nominate for anything.

Did you ever watch him play live? Recruiters only hate undersized full forwards if they can't run. The fact that Hourigan was a terrible athlete meant he went undrafted.

What are the general thoughts on Harry Dear?

He is terrible
that is all that needs to be said

Darcy didn't set the world on fire in the SANFL this year judging by these stats. Doubt he'll trouble the recruiters in the coming weeks.

Whatever the hell happened to Cameron Conlon, potential top 5 going into his draft year
then injured and didn't play any games, then not even rookied and now not even talked about

injuries to these kids are awful

Kid needs to get his head right, if he puts his head down and works hard next year and stays injury free big chance he gets picked up.

He needs to put a poster of Ben brown up on his wall and work his butt off like Ben did when he missed out as a teenager.

I wonder how much size he has put on, definitely talented
but at AFL level, who knows

I think there will be a few surprises in this years draft to come, players going higher
some much talked about players going no-where

I just think it is a little strange how one year a player is been talked about as been a first round lock and then goes undrafted
was Ben Brown rated highly when he was draftee?

 

[goodcop badcop]

What are the general thoughts on Harry Dear?

I'd definitely be looking to rookie list him. He's had some injury issues so he's a bit behind the others. Love his athletic ability, contested marking and his ground level ability is quite good for a big. If we had a choice between Dear and Foster, I'd be taking Dear without a doubt.

I haven't been on for a week. What have I missed?

MD still don't think Macca can coach.

Me and Dav1d having a talk on the non-afl chat thread about the lack of good young batters coming through for Australia in cricket.

Me trying to find a well skilled inside mid as insurance for Wallis cause of Smith and Prudden looking too injury prone. Watched a bit of Billy Evans recently and liked what I saw from him.

We still haven't been able to draft anyone unfortunately.

 

[Wizard17]

Oh and we updated the f/s thread cause I found Romero's birthday was in 98 meaning he is part of the 2016 draft not the 2015 draft. Hs is currently 175cm and 70kg looks like he'll be about 180-184ish by 2016 seeings he has a late birthday he'll likely be about towards the top end of that guess.

I haven't been on for a week. What have I missed?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

In summary, Pannalstaroz - absolutely nothing.

 

[Dry Rot]

I don't think you'd like hammelmann Dry Rot. Good athlete, reads the game ok but a bit soft in marking contests and has sloppy skills. Could maybe turn into a key back imo

Thanks ZG. We don't want soft *****, forward or back.

Pass.

 

[hatescaptcha]

Warming to Daniel McKenzie after seeing some footage of him preferably at #39.

So normal programming has been resumed?

 

[Wizard17]

From that little bit I could find on Evans I can see a fair bit of potential in that kid. Hope Jong continues to improve but I see a big ceiling for Evans bigger than others I've seen down the order who are waaaaay too outside for my liking, I don't like players who can not win a contested ball to save themselves prefer guys who use the ball well and can find it themselves. I think that was why I didn't like Aish last year.

I just watched Mackenzie's highlights for the first time. I think he looks really good. Great size too. He didn't look far off McCartin from the highlights I saw. Seems to lead really well and has strong hands.

[Dale4captain]

Agreed, JTCWBFC Others have said he uses his bulk to take marks, but that highlight video suggested he was a very good judge of the ball in the air. Good kick at goal and quick in a straight line, too. Would have little issue with the club using pick 26 on him. In fact, I'd welcome it. If we can land two of Mckenzie, Mcdonald or Menadue with our two first picks, we'd have covered two massive needs on our list.
