Opinion 2014 Draft ( Live discussion ) Mod notice post #6629

[HARKER]

Marc Smuft 3 and Fernando2Gibbs have been awfully quiet lately.

You're on a hiding to nothing through the trade period.

Cards are played pretty close to the chest and rightly so.

Great movie - saw it myself a few weeks back. Would never happen here, surely due to paperwork and turnaround. It seems like all it took was a 'yep, that'll do' and the trade was done and dusted that second...

If the AFL ever moves to allow trading of future picks or trading during the live draft... this kind of thing could well happen...

also watched it and enjoyed it.

I'm all for the AFL to allow trading future picks.

He has definitely been quiet.

Never heard of him.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Heard that Mckenzie is pretty keen on Carlton. A lot of clubs already floating contracts in front of him.

Have a sneaky suspicion St Kilda will pick the poor bloke up.

Few interstate teams plus premiers interested too.

Where abouts do you reckon he'll get selected? Some are saying close to first round, whilst some say rookie selection!

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Is there any chance Brayshaw might fall to us???i suspect not, also with Collingwood getting Moore with there first pick, I doubt they will take a kPF with pick 4, so I reckon we may end up with a choice between Wright and Durdin..

We talking Reece? As not a F/S I don't believe clubs can 'bid' or anything like that... that would be 'draft tampering' would it not?

Just means he may go at the end of first round-early second. Could go anywhere from Hawks at 18 to Saints at 21 to Eagles at 30...

 

[Matty411]

If Wright is somehow there... do we bite? I see him as similar to Kreuz and less of a KPF and more of a ruck/2nd ruck so diff type of player... but I'm no expert...

Would rather Durdin/Laverde imo. Any of the other 3 top guys though... they'd be selected so fast that you'd need to slow down time to pick it up.

Think more Brad Ottens. Comfortable as both and a far more natural forward than Kreuz.

He has to go through the draft - what do you mean by contracts?

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I reckon it will come down to the Frawley compo..

Petracca and Mc Cartin are top 2, the rest is a lottery.. I would think Melb wouldn't want to take 2 KPFs in the one draft so might take Brayshaw, GWS certainly don't need another KPF not sure who they take perhaps Lever, Collingwood have Moore so will want a mid perhaps Leverde, leaving the dogs and us with Wright and Durdin.

Lever could be the wildcard... perhaps as high as 2/3 or as low as mid-teens... though many would argue he won't last past 6/7.

That's what my thoughts were too. When I queried it mate reckons he's seen letters and contracts drawn up.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

If Wright is there we should be selecting him - simple as that.

Ditto Brayshaw, especially if we land Jones and Jaksch.

 

[Omega Blue]

Can't say I'm super impressed from what I've seen from Wright, he may slide ala Grundy a couple of years ago

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

How have Mitch Thorp's results been at the Combine?

 

[etsal1]

McKenzie got 2.92 seconds.

Fastest was a 200cm american guy who got 2.81.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

2.92 over 20?!

McKenzie for Pick #6!!

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I'd be very keen for McKenzie with a second if we dont get a tall in the first

 

[HARKER]

2.92 over 20?!

McKenzie for Pick #6!!

Matthew Watson was 2.98 and some still consider him slow.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I think given his end to the season, his combine numbers ... we may be lucky if he's there at #26
