Universal Love 2016 Draft Discussion

[TerryWallet]

I hate when you guys kill it!

See a lot of Zach Merrett in Fisher, Macredie had an average year but you don't lose talent, with his attributes he's every chance to be the best tall from the draft. Kerr in the 60's is ridiculous, had a better champs than Marshall or Battle and SPS is going to be so damn influential. SOS bringing the goods again.

I reckon you botched the No1. I'm a huge Hugh fan.

But i reckon you nailed the next 3. Ridley, Big Arse Begley and Mutch were all in my folder of players i rate to make it in AFL.

 

[Toddski]

I think dodoro is getting better with age. McGrath was the right pick and I liked ridley.

Wells on the other hand is losing the plot.

SOS has the goods. Do not under estimate Zac Fisher, believe me.

 

[BobP]

Brisbane had a cracking draft.

They have a habit of getting it right in the draft, only problem is getting those players to commit in the long run.

On another note, Luggage was my number 1, kid basically had no preseason and he was still able to have a monster season at all levels.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Seemed to remember someone saying Bolts wanted natural footballers, great skills and left footers. Looks like SOS delivered.

Sure did. Came out very happily did Bolts

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I reckon you botched the No1. I'm a huge Hugh fan.

Preferred McCluggage myself but can see the rational. Sacrifice a little on the individual to get a better balance in both this draft and on the list. Also thought the best sliding chances were Florent or Venables which would partially mitigate the goal kicking mid.

Do not under estimate Zac Fisher, believe me.

He and Parfitt were the two I thought most underrated on the draft boards and they went back to back in the draft. Can't undervalue mids with tenacity and energy, that very trait just stole the doggies a flag.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

5, count 'em, 5 drafted from SA.

Cows went interstate on EVERY Pick.

Come on - less "hate", just need to be "slightly perturbed"! SPS certainly looks the goods! See a bit of Darcy Parish in wee Fisher, and not sure how we managed Macreadie? Kerr - thought we'd miss because we were unlikely to take at our second-pick. Have to say I rate McGrath a tad higher than McCluggage - he looks self-assured and unflappable, and I'm sure like Parish last year he will play very early on - "ready-to-go" as they say!

 

[RudyBlue]

Pickett and SPS will liven things up in the midfield for Carlton we will have an impenetrable rebounding backline...beginnings of a genuine scary side being put together with the big boy Mcreadie being added as well..

Develop develop develop develop.

Long way to go.

 

[RudyBlue]

Don't think Jaksch would have punched the air in delight when we landed either Macreadie or Kerr.

KJ and Levi should be absolutely pooing their pants

 

[GordonBlue]

Based on the highlights, I am thrilled with every pick. I know it is easy to base on highlights, however with each video, I did not have that wary feeling that I had when I first watched Lucas and Bootsma videos.

With all 6 players + Marchbank + Pickett + Weiters + McKay + Charlie + SOS + Cuningham (and of course Cripps/Doc/Plow)... finally we have a group of young players that can take us somewhere.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

....and Levi should be absolutely pooing their pants

Wut?

25 years old, 110kgs, could bench-press a moose.

The 38th best KP, riding on his 6 hit-outs, that has to be taught how to kick every 15 minutes.

That's breakout material......

 

[Deep Blue]

KJ and Levi should be absolutely pooing their pants

KJ and Levi - they'll need to look at new career options pretty soon the way things are going: maybe the rag trade - "KJ & Levi" jeans perhaps?

 

[passmark]

I wonder who the other option Bolts and SOS where discussing so intently when we took Macredie.

 

[Dramoth]

Why was SPS not All Australian in the carnival?

They knew he was coming to Carlton... wanted to introduce him to failed expectations early.

 

[Dramoth]

Williamson could be a Walker clone. Except a better kick.

Very one footed I think... maybe a Simmo replacement!

Zippo from Tassie.

First time in 30 years i think i heard them say.

The Lucas videos were spectacular... it wasn't his fault that he basically shredded his hamstrings and screwed his career. His first 8 games were good solid games and showed that he had something.

 

[passmark]

He does kick in his right .

 

[GCNavyBlue]

Almost shit a brick seeing how many left footers we drafted.

I think Polson even kicked a few on his right

Me rikey

 

[GordonBlue]

Nah, remember watching Lucas videos and thinking "geez a lot of balls went over players heads"... the video turned out precise

 

[passmark]

Can everyone see why we helped the Hawks out now?

 

[Jesse Deluxe]

Can everyone see why we helped the Hawks out now?

Please explain.

 

[Jimmae]

Very one footed I think... maybe a Simmo replacement!

He's kicking on both feet in the highlights clips, but yes he's better on his left.

 

[passmark]

Please explain.

We got 3 late picks for the giving the Hawks next years second rounder that they then used to get O'Meara.

We wanted to be in this draft, deep.

Very intelligent. We anticipated early there would be some quality players slipping through and traded accordingly.
