2016 Draft discussion

[jackess]

Mature age from Redlands, had a dominant couple of years in the neafl. We jumped in before the Pies did, they were committed to taking him,

Cheers.

According to Keane we have only two picks in the rookie draft - no's 2 and 20.

I assume that doesn't include Grewar

Was getting sick of Pies taking QLD talent and turning them into reasonable AFL players. Grewar might surprise a few as he certainly looks like he could play AFL footy.

 

[BRAB]

At the worst he can rip in for our NEAFL team for a few years.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Correct.

 

[BRAB]

Actually looks like he's a ranga so we just needed to replenish our stocks after losing a couple to retirements and delistings.

Smart move by the club

Anybody else think Blake Grewar looks like Peter Wright?

Only 20cm shorter

Might be a dumb question - how can we pre-list Grewar if he wasn't in the academy?

Callum Twomey Said it's under Queensland listed rules.

Qld Zone selection. Wasn't sure that was still a thing, but it must be.

Huh, strange. I thought the whole zone thing changed with the academies... would seem weird to keep both academy/zone rules in place for the rookie draft

I don't want to sound hyperbolic but how would you compare him to say, a Gary Ablett type player?

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Really pleased with the pickup of Grewar. I've though over the years we haven't been willing to use the reservoir of local mature-age talent readily enough.

That consistently show up our own players...

Hmm.. Well, yes.

He has nicer hair.

 

[captainrich]

any word on type of player? speed? disposal efficiency? etc etc

LI said 'mature' players.

Otherwise, I'm expecting players who like smooth jazz. We are underrepresented in that aspect, and Fagan seems the type to me to value it highly.

 

[Haso]

Is it a Zorko type pick up, or is it even more speculative?

 

[spotthedog1]

There's news of a late update to the draft order. The Brisbane Lions have pick 37, meaning all subsequent picks move back one spot. That means there are 56 picks up for grabs.

The pre-listed player must've squeezed into a Cat B spot that we didn't know we had free. Looks like we have another 3 now.

 

[The Bear]

We have pick 2, 20 and 37.
