Universal Love 2016 Draft Discussion

[Blue_Fusion]

Maybe they will improve on these areas as their career progresses but can see why they've slipped this far.

 

[MitchRobinson12]

Looks like a few of the armchair recruiters on here knew something the AFL clubs didn't with a few players. Or is it the other way around?

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Tom Williamson. Could be something? Time to truly test our development program. Welcome to the best club of all.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Who???

I'm wearing out that video thingy.

 

[btdg]

I dont understand our drafting at all. With 3 picks in the space of 8, surely the guy you take first is the guy most likely to be taken by someone else, not the sleeper noone knows...

I feel like we premeditated these last 3 picks without thinking about who else might still be available

Tom Williamson

AFL.com.au - Clever defender/midfielder from the North Ballarat Rebels who uses his pace to great effect. Added to his currency at the NAB AFL Draft Combine by winning the agility test, coming second in the 3km time trial and also posting top-10 results in the beep and kicking tests, along with the standing and running vertical jumps.

Wow great stats....but can he find it ?

Seems like a winger?

 

[ShanDog]

How does a bloke test so highly for fitness and kicking skill yet slip to pick 60-ish??

 

[Anzac16]

Clarke or Kerr with our final pick will cap off tonight nicely.

 

[HBF]

Speculative athletic tall.

December birthday as well. Very young.

 

[Soapy V]

82 Geelong - Tom Williamson
Height, weight: 188cm, 79kg
Summary profile: Athletic running back flanker who tested well across the board at the draft combine.

 

[Wickzki]

Essendon draft Clarke... How do you like him now? lol

 

[Jimmae]

Other than SPS our choices have been a mystery tour.

This is what moneyball looks like if you're not on the same script. That said I'll take the hit with Fisher given that we've got Macreadie and Williamson.

 

[FairKouta]

patrick kerr where is he

They said on SEN that Geelong and some other clubs wanted Poulson...

 

[bluedabadee]

Williamson = Z. Smith

in my dreams

 

[Azul]

Yay Williamson! I had him going at our next pick, so I have one out of five at least.

 

[Bic]

He's a defender so to speak. Relax guys.

Because this year's draft is all about 'best fit', it seems. Plenty of teams look to have drafted players for specific needs.

 

[Jimmae]

Honestly, if it had just been Atley at #27, this would have been close to my dream draft so far

 

[The Smoking Gun]

Grab Hampton or Bunker SOS.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Reckon GWS will let a few academy kids go to downplay how good a deal they've been getting. Clean up too much and the other club presidents will start sharpening their knives - this way, it looks like the talent they've developed can be shared around.

 

[Wickzki]

Welcome to Carlton.... PATRICK KERR!

 

[Navara79]

Kerr

 

[smashbox gill]

Williamson december birthday as well. Dont mind it.

Will be interesting if u use 6th pick, hope its on sharenberg

 

[Chism]

Kerr Yes and my favourite pick of this draft.
