List Mgmt. 2014 Draft Trade FA Megathread

[hayes]

Is there any chance of Wright playing full time forward for the end of the year? Reckon he needs a bag or two of 6+ goals and then he becomes ours.

 

[God Save Max King]

PW tests in the high 14s in the beep test, I believe.

 

[Moral Decay]

Lenny Hayes retirement might save Clinton Jones for another season..

You're a pretty fair bastard when you want to be.

Peter Wright could be a "beast". He may end up around 205cm and he is already 100kg and yet to me he has those really broad shoulders, so he looks like he'll fill out even more pretty effortlessly, yet they reckon he also runs the 20m in 3 seconds dead and has an elite tank, not to mention elite kicking for goal, so there are some pretty bloody good ingredients there. Lets not forget that he's missed a lot of footy in recent years, too, so he may only just be getting back into the swing of it now. Really hope he has a huge end to the season to give us something to really think about.

He's also supposed to be able to do some wicked stuff on the lead. At the risk of offending rucks, anyone can learn it ( Holmes, Pyke, anyone who has ever played basketball ) but a lot of reputable people really really rate Wright's forward game.

 

[aussierulesrules]

The TAC Cup team that he plays for has two others who are over 200cm so hopefully Wright will play mostly forward again for the Cannons for the rest of the year and have a couple of killer games there (especially in the finals). He did have one really good game in the ruck at the champs, but otherwise it seems like he was a bit meh there and might be better up forward at this point in time. Kicked 4 of his teams 7 goals on the weekend, so it's hard to complain about that.

KM updated his mock

Tom Lamb at pick 27 was interesting not so long ago everyone had him top 10.

 

[Barrels]

KM updated his mock

McKenzie at 51 is interesting, but more so because KM rates him 20-Rookie...

Doesn't really narrow it down much does it!

Defacto, you're a WAFL man; is South Fremantle's big Cameron Loersch worth a rookie spot? I know he's an overager, but a 19yr old 203cm 102kg full forward is nothing to sneeze at. 48 goals in 14 matches ain't to shabby either,

Who does the Carpet Snake train with?

On his own, Burkey & another former player regularly train there also..

He's also supposed to be able to do some wicked stuff on the lead. At the risk of offending rucks, anyone can learn it ( Holmes, Pyke, anyone who has ever played basketball ) but a lot of reputable people really really rate Wright's forward game.

It's not often a player of Wright's height can consistently play the KF position with real success..Probably got to go back to Paul Salmon, who was around 206cm..At 19 & playing solely out of the goalsquare, he'd kicked 63 goals by rd 12..(1983) & well on track for a century..! Did his knee in rd 13, & probably never reached his true potential..then again I've seen Plugger ave 5.5 to 7.5 goals a game..(min 10 games) over 6 or 7 years..& he actually was only 190cm..But he was a freak..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If his one on one contested marking & agility ticks the box, this size of forward would be very hard to stop..The concept of a quality man mountain stalking our goalsquare, & rag dolling opposition defenders is what dreams are made of..

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Herald sun (yeah not great) reckon Peter Wright is better than Joe Daniher and he looks like he'll be a decent player.

Who is KM?

Terry Wallace reckons McCartin is the clear choice for no.1, so it looks like it's Petracca for us then!

Who is KM?

Have a read, he's very thorough

 

[Dopey BJ]

Tom Lamb at pick 27 was interesting not so long ago everyone had him top 10.

No surprise for me

Every chance, Calder play Kovacevic in the ruck.

Re Lamb, I still wouldn't take him at 27. Start looking at him in the 30s.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Apparently we are going to draft the best female player in the country... all Finnis' idea.

Let's get Adam Treloar's missus. Absolute gun player.

 

[Bull3tblitz]

Has us taking Blakely at 21.....i'd be happy with that

Also saw this

#38 St Kilda – Alex Neal-Bullen (SA – Mid)
Height: 182cm, Weight: 77kg, DOB: 09/01/1996
Recruited from: Glenelg
Style: Lenny Hayes
Player comparison:
Range: 15-50

 

[Mindtraveller]

Some snippets from Knightmares write up

#1 St Kilda – Patrick McCartin (VIC - KPF)

a rare ability to take the ball down low at his toes on the lead with cleanness like you’ve never seen.

He’s also for a key forward got rare ability when the ball hits the deck with his pickups, picking it up cleanly and without fumbling and having the ability to quickly get it onto his boot or off to someone in better position by hand.

Probably best fits our current kicking to Roo

 

[Defacto]

No surprise for me

i'd take him at pick 21

havent seen him to be honest... interesting. i wonder if he's a ruckman who dominates at colts level because of his height though. could be another notte

 

[Defacto]

Heard about his tank on TAC Cup future stars it surprised me a bit, they mentioned how he can run all day sounds like a certain #12.

wright or mccartin? please tell me mccartin

 

[Dopey BJ]

i'd take him at pick 21

With respect Defacto, on skill should be top 20, I don't want to dis the kid but Trout does endless interviews for a reason and I am totally confident the guy picked at 21 will have more than skill alone.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

i'd take him at pick 21

McCartin the stay at home tall forward and Lamb the roaming medium forward. That could set up our forward line for the next decade. I would take Lamb at 21 in a heartbeat but sadly I see him going mid first round. A team like Freo would be all over him, if he lasts to their pick.

 

[Persevering Saint]

I'll be glad if I'm wrong about McCartin and Pelchen's Spreadsheet.

However, I wonder if Lamb's disciplinary issues mean he's not on there. Apparently character is a massive parameter for Pelchen, and the kind of thing he might get pretty choosey about.

I say that, while also really loving the idea of getting Lamb, as many have seen in this thread already.
