2016 Draft discussion

[Hollow Knight]

Oh god, are we still all talking about the water pistol thing?

Far out.

 

[Ruse]

So looking ahead 12 months. What are our likely team needs in next years draft?

Actually good players.

Whoa, creepy. I am organising a pizza party for some of my students and I just used the literally exact same ninja turtles image on their invite when I made them 10 minutes ago.

 

[FFB1]

In other words; mocked again...

If it was Collingwood it would be the first news story on the HUN website and they'd be applauded for it. 'Great initiative' they'd say; 'excellent way to welcome the babies to the nest'.

Ruse, I'm struggling to understand exactly where you're coming from re the draft.

You seem to be very unhappy with the boys we picked, but none of your posts contain any detail

If we drafted the wrong guys, in your opinion, who should we have taken instead and why?

How about you just name the players you would have taken?

 

[Judge]

No, no-one else here is a recruiter either, but lots of posters have expressed their opinions on the draft, both before and after, with reasons to support those opinions.

As a bonus, it's going to take at least 12-24 months for any opinions or picks to be validated or assessed, so you get a free shot at the moment.

Happy to give it a go?

Plagiarist.

Is there anything less useful than a post mortem on the draft?

On an internet forum? Yes

 

[briztoon]

250+ pages and 9 months of pre-draft discussion.

Depends on whether or not you proclaim yourself to be a draft Pathologist.....

L-R: Jake Barrett, Mitchell Hinge, Oscar McInerney, Corey Lyons, Blake Grewer, Alex Witherden, Jacob Allison, Hugh McCluggage, Cedric Cox and Jarrod Berry pose after their first day on the track as Lions.

 

[Elixuh]

Berry looks like he already has a pre-season and season of footy under his belt.

It would really be something if out of those ten, all of them made it to AFL level, Seven or eight became established players, over half went on to long 150+ careers and two or three went on to AA standard.

That would be defying the odds, I know, but I choose to believe.

Berry looks bigger than 191cm especially if Allison is 194

I would be happy if half of them play regular senior footy at a high quality level.
