List Mgmt. 2014 Draft

[Tonga Bob]

Any of you blokes heard of this bloke from South Fremantle colts? Bob Maumil mentioned him yesterday. 203cm ruckman /forward who's kicked 57 goals 28 points this year. Apparently a few clubs are looking at him and he's been invited to the draft combine. Cameron Loersch

Been on my wish list for a little while now. Any idea where he may land in the Draft?

 

[Silent Alarm]

Would love to pick up Mitch McGovern in the draft. He's widely to tipped to be potentially better than his brother. Has anyone watched him play?

About five years ago, he played as a midfielder and half forward and pinch-hit in the ruck back then, would've been like 180 centimetres or something back then, so tall for his age but managed to shoot up. I've only seen him play once or twice on the ABC, where I think he was playing in the forward line? Or was that Abbott?

Either way I would love for us to draft either or both. Maybe Abbott in the rookie draft. The dude has been built like a man for ten years. Would be a real gem off half back, very nice skills with that imposing build (though he's only like 6'1)

Abbott has not been invited to the draft camp so we are in the best position to Rookie draft him .

Can we please draft Clem Smith? in today's article he said in summary:

• I like hurting people
• I really liked it when I hurt that person
• I can run and create pretty well which they tell me is a bonus to my main game of hurting people
• I like Fremantle

I like you Clem! - recruiters do your stuff.

Takes the game on? Short battler? Brings some much, much needed mongrel to Freo? WA boy? A name as cool as Viv?!

I have my new player to blindly defend

Well his morals are impecable, so Fremantle in his thinking, I think we need to recruit him and then all blindly defend him (especially to the tribunal).

Just reading the above article, he doesn't exactly sound like a clever bloke does he.

is that a crack at me re: hannath or Seppo re: crichton ?

 

[Seppo]

I read that as SA was serious about getting behind someone like Clem Smith as a buddy. (His type of player)

Mongrel is an understatement, i got a semi reading that

No?!

Read that too. Sounds like a beast. Any one else immediately think of Byron Pickett?

As long as he can football, I don't care.

Would love it if he lasts to our second pick. Most phantoms have him in the 25-35 range so there is a chance if the Eagles don't get to him at #30

That is the player comparison most often used I think.

Clem?? Oh Heck affirmative - Clem can football big long time - biiiig heap good wraps for clem with agility tests - near better come do Steve Hill!

(...My head hurts - I think I just sprained something!)

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Big no to Smith from me. Look at his U18 Champs highlights, he can't kick and gives away too many frees.
Edit: At least not for a first round pick.

Oh for sure

Given the genuine high-potential KPFs will be gone by #12/13, my ideal draft would be something like:

#12: Lachlan Weller/Liam Duggan
#32: Clem Smith/Tyler Keitel/Jarrod Garlett
#51: Jack Cripps/Nakia Cockatoo
#68/rookie: Oleg Markov/ Mitch McGovern

I base this on absolutely nothing but my own armchair musings and I expect to be completely wrong.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Would love him as a 2nd rounder.. unfortunately i think he will go somewhere in between 1st and 2nd

 

[Frank J Moose]

Interesting that people think Clem can't kick. I watched him in a P v EP game and his ball use impressed me. Made good decisions and executed well.

Was disappointed that in a volatile game he was playing on Wolff for a bit and they didn't get stuck into each other.

He's 6'3"

 

[PeelnThunder]

Why can't be grab mature age players? It still surprises me how many 18 year olds get picked over 25 year olds.

 

[theGav56]

Smith needs to publicly mention a sick family member.

 

[PantaloonRazorblade]

#68/rookie: Oleg Markov

With a name like that we should be considering taking him first round.
