List Mgmt. 2014 Draft

[eastfreo75]

Chris do you think that Watchman could develop in to a KPB at all? What's his mobility like? Also would like us to rookie Daniel from SA, he could be a good pocket rocket. Its been a while since we have drafted a pacey small. Lachie Neale doesn't really have that explosive pace.

I would ok for Daniel to our second pick. The only problem for the kid is this height. He is quick, smart, and skillful.

 

[eastfreo75]

So the way I see it, Fremantle might not try to get a KPF with their first 2 picks this year and instead put some time into Apeness/Tabs/Pearce. Does anyone think we might rookie Cameron Conlon? Not sure if he's been mentioned in this thread but he was touted as a top 10 pick last year but got injured (broken leg I think).

I agree, rookie Conlon.

Bit off topic (sort of).. but i wonder if we would be a club that would be interested in watching the participants / the winner of the Recruit on Foxtel.

Especially if the winner is Waylen Manson (perhaps not with our J.Simpson issues) .. tbh i cant see RTB being overly keen on a gimmicky type of scenario, but wonder if we will keep an eye on it.

 

[eastfreo75]

Why not.

As a category b rookie any possible issue with him is worth the risk. Especially if it is a player with the talent of Manson.

It's an all to gain, nothing to lose situation tbh.

So were going to use our 1st round pick on a quick midfielder again?

The problem is that the best 8 talls that we could pick will be gone by a first pick. Alot of midfielders around our first pick unless we pull the trigger on the 9th best tall.

So basically were screwed either way?

So were going to get best available in the 1st and 2nd round then KPPs with our late and rookie picks again...

What's wrong with another midfielder?

With the fleet of falls, we will be getting a top 5 mid at our pick. We also went heavy on KPPs last year so the right thing to do would be to get a quality mid

 

[Freo_4eva]

Yeah i think Mid is the way to go.. unless one of the better talls manages to fall down the order and is too good to ignore.

 

[E Shed]

aren't we still keeping an eye on the big Irish kid too?

 

[rgauci]

I wouldn't be against giving up our first rounder for jake Carlisle. What the bombers are doing with him is a joke. He's streets ahead of Hurley as a defender, yet the Victorian youngster gets his preferred position. Carlisle gets thrown into 2nd ruck which is bullshit.

I hope so.

I actually hope we try to get a top 6 pick and get Pickett.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

I vaguely recall an article indicating we were probably going to look at him again this year.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

I hope so.

who do you think we have on our playing list that will have the currency for that?

That's the problem. I do think to some clubs our first round pick plus Crozier/Sheridan plus maybe a pick swap would get it done

 

[UFO Tatsu]

That's the problem. I do think to some clubs our first round pick plus Crozier/Sheridan plus maybe a pick swap would get it done

TBH we are better off tanking or hoping he goes to the lions and get him via homesickness

 

[strobe00]

That's the problem. I do think to some clubs our first round pick plus Crozier/Sheridan plus maybe a pick swap would get it done

Yeah, nah. I don't see any club being stupid enough to accept that kind of payment for that high a draft pick. Bits and bobs don't equal pick 6.

Clarke and a swap of our first with their second might get us that pick.

Will need to pay a lot to get that high a pick. Unless you're the pies and you have west coast.

I was thinking of players the club would actually trade. Clarke isn't going anywhere.

 

[enoenoeno]

Definitely not.

I think guys like Hannath and C.Pearce are in line for a trade as we have the luxury of not needing them. However agree, players of that ilk aren't going to get us a big upgrade on pick 18 ... But as they are surplus to needs, if we can get any upgrade it could be handy even if it is a 2nd round pick upgrade

 

[E Shed]

I think there would be a few clubs happy to take a punt on Sheridan or Crozier, both have shown good things at times.
I would have thought Sheridan plus pick 15 or so would get it done for a pick around 6. Depends what the other mob is chasing with their pick.

Carlisle is a Victorian youngster too.

But yeah, he seems to be the victim of them trying to fit Hurley in the position he's least useless in.

Don't forget that Polec was traded for pick 13(?) in last years draft. Sherro and Croz have both shown a lot more than Polec had before this year. Going by that you'd think we'd get a deal like that done

 

[bone2468]

Could we Maybe trade Crozier and Sheridan as a package deal to get between pick 4-8 to pick up Christian Pertracca wonderful midfielder who can kick goals i think he is 188cm 87kg big fella, hes a Vic boy but is a Fremantle supporter.

I wouldn't have thought that by putting two second/third round players together you would get a high first rounder.

That's why I think that one or both of them with our first rounder (16-18) would be a trade we would do. You have to go back to 2009 since we had a top 10 pick
