What does McDonald have over Kietel?

 

[Hrovat24]

I'm surprised you didn't use the word "spud". Isn't that the favoured word used by people who have never played AFL or even VFL football in their lives?

Not sure and you don't know who I am so I guess that means I could have played at either level

I like the look of kietel haven't seen McDonald , I know that doesn't help though

 

[doggies ftw]

Not that keen on EVW but happy to back our recruiters in, but if we get him we really need to target a skilled and fast type at 27. Menadue + EVW would be great.

 

[ManOfClay]

I just don't rate McDonald that highly, thought Kietel was rated well early but has slipped

 

[ManOfClay]

EVW seems a real classy kid but playing style wise is he that great a fit for us?

 

[King Harold]

Fogarty wouldn't even be in footscrays best ten players so he is no chance , jong right at this moment at afl level would still be a dud

The disrespect Jong gets from a few on this board is staggering. I get it you don't think he is not up to it , but
you label him a dud right now ?

Am actually thinking we pass on McDonald. Bev did say he likes good ball movement out of the back half. So, McD doesn't fit that. He might be a great 1v1 defender but disposal isn't clean.

In loosing Griff, Coons, Higgins ... we've taken a big hit in the polish and outside run department. Only the highlight reel, but this bloke provides outside carry, can kick, loves a goal and is very evasive. Worth at look at 26, 27 or 39? The claim is he'll be gone T30.

Right now, a better defender and a bit of height

You mean his current defensive game style? If he players in the backline, I guess it depends who we put around him
his game style could also change through coaching

he definitely looks solidly built & with his good endurance you would expect he would play some games next year



I am curious if we'll be looking at any players that are outside of Victoria this draft; not long to go now

How much have you seen of him Bazza? I watched him on a number of occasions in 2013 and was really keen to rookie him or at least encourage him to move down for the VFL side.

Only what's on the reel. The fact you have, is encouraging. He looks like he is exactly what we need. Next Isaac Smith perhaps?

 

[doggies ftw]

Geez that WA mature ager seems alright. A couple of mature agers always get talked up close to the draft, don't think he will go top 30. Would hold out and try and get him with one of our 3rd rounders, a little bit older and in a position of need, would be handy.

I don't think BB is the type of player to ever bulk up more than his current shape (like a Ryan Hargrave - tone, but not extensive muscle gain). With Tutt gone he's got traits that we need on the list (the good traits i mean). Smith is a bit more compact in his shape than BB, but BB would be quicker.

Inside the top 30 would be a massive rise for someone who last year didn't get drafted at all. I'd be surprised if he went inside that range, although i did miss his 2014 season.

How about Jermaine Miller-Lewis? Should cost a lot less then a 2nd round pick, perhaps even a rookie option

spent the championships out injured for WA

Bailey Dale also has some eye catching highlights

I admit, I've sat through them all...

 

[fronkalicious]

I'm wary of the outside mids from the sa and wa state leagues. So much space in those games. The guys can look quicker and more skilled than they are IMO.

I agree, but the basic fact is you have to pick them up from somewhere.
I was a Toumpas fan his highlights were fantastic dodged a bullet there.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What we need to remember when assessing the Fogarty rumour is just where he's going to be taken. It's likely a third rookie pick - pick #41. Given the picks likely to be used in the main draft, that means our third rookie will be the player tipped to be approximately the 121st best player in the draft. That's obscene and most players at this range have limited upside. Saying there are better options than him is a bit obscene unless you have a draft board going that far down.

you know who had a great highlights video that year?

Macrae, had so many games where he was dominant

 

[fronkalicious]

Anyone think dan Connors gets another crack?? Man that guy is smooth

Every time I saw him play this year (admittedly only about four times) I was thinking, "Surely somebody has to give him another go." So talented.

Damn right, Macrae was a lock for me i settled on Mayes for the other
pick as Stringers broken leg x-rays were horrible.

Baffled why keitel is rated as low as he is. Oozes class on the deck, smooth and marks well

 

[Zgope1]

Also upon further thinking if we do go EVW and we think he's got a chance as a mid, we should be hitting up a skilful or running type for the back half with one of our other picks inside 40
