Universal Love 2016 Draft Discussion

[SABlue]

He is actually quite good athletically when you compare him to McGrath times. Not that far behind.
Combine test results: Repeat Sprint – 24.44. 20m Sprint – 3.02. Agility – 8.38. Beep Test – 13.1. 3km TT – 10:42.

I can see him being a backflanker. Not a key defender. Good user. Didn't expect but very happy to get him.

 

[LordLucifer]

Macreadie could be a massive steal. We are well and truly set for talls. Not sure Kerr is an option now.

I think we will still go for him at our next pick if he is still available.

 

[Soapy V]

Maybe Marchbank forward.

or mid. sos said he can paly there

 

[Jimmae]

Defender? Why?

Because he's too good to pass up. GWS have been told to stay quiet it seems.

That's a big repeat gap (McGrath was 2nd at the combine). McGrath is much closer to the Gallucci/Ainsworth end of the table despite that poor 20m time.

Not a good draft for repeat sprints though, here's this year's and last year's:

2016
Jordan Gallucci (24.36 seconds)
Andrew McGrath (24.44)
Bailey Morrish (24.83)
Jarrod Berry (24.99)
Ben Ainsworth (25.01)
Kym LeBois (25.08)
Griffin Logue (25.09)
Shai Bolton (25.10)
Myles Poholke (25.20)
Jacob Allison (25.30)

2015
Daniel Rioli - 24.15 seconds
Mabior Chol - 24.30
Oleg Markov - 24.32
Thomas Glen - 24.46
David Cuningham - 24.51
Jordan Snadden - 24.54
Wayne Milera - 24.61
Will Snelling - 24.64
Liam Jeffs - 24.74
Luke Partington - 24.76

So only two make it into last year's top 10, whereas Fisher is in the next 5 this year. Buyer beware here.

 

[krayfesh]

I don't think our young defenders are moving forward.

Fun draft though.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Luke Bunker please.

 

[passmark]

I can see him being a backflanker. Not a key defender. Good user. Didn't expect but very happy to get him.

Yep. Small running defender.

 

[ShanDog]

Picking Macreadie is the same as picking Weitering again, except as a forward this time

 

[No1Suspect]

196cm & 89kg, ticks a couple of important boxes for me.

Bet you just went into your tent with a box of tissues

 

[HBF]

Lol Richmond.
Look forward to seeing some serious clangers.

 

[BobP]

LOL Richmond pick Graham.

 

[LordLucifer]

Bet you just went into your tent with a box of tissues

Two boxes actually.

 

[No1Suspect]

If we get Bunker or Ronke im doing a nudie run up Keilor Rd

 

[LordLucifer]

If we get Bunker or Ronke im doing a nudie run up Keilor Rd

You live in Niddrie ??

 

[Funk]

Confirmed. SOS wants a team full of defenders...

Average score in 2019 will be 5.6-30 to 3.3-21

 

[HBF]

or mid. sos said he can paly there

Or even Plowman up the ground. I'd leave Weitering in defence.

 

[Jimmae]

Why the fisher hate? The kid is a jet.

I don't think his game will translate to AFL level unless he's not been able to train.

Given he's from 2 hours outside of Perth, that's a slight possibility, but I don't see it. Anyone who reckons SOS doesn't listen to our recruiters, rest assured this is the old WA network hard at work.

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

Hoping to get Clarke and Stengle..

 

[Sam The Doc]

Would love to know the convo that took place between SOS and Bolts looks like some real haggling going on!!!

sos looks like a scary man to talk to.

 

[Old navy]

Thank god.

We need excitement. Got a team of soldiers at the moment we need some artists.

This is why I wanted SPS, he is exactly what our midfield needed pace and elite disposal.
Can do the flashy stuff, but seem to understand that you need to do the hard stuff too, wins his own ball and tackles with real intent.

 

[esoteric]

Would like Romenski

 

[Sam The Doc]

Or even Plowman up the ground. I'd leave Weitering in defence.

wouldn't move Plowman from the back 50.

 

[basil00]

I think we may pick the youngest player in this years draft tonight or on Monday. He will be a fantastic pick up if we do.

 

[Jimmae]

GWS have a live pick. What the ****.

Lol Richmond.
Look forward to seeing some serious clangers.

If they play him as a defender of the Hurn ilk, he is a good pick here. But he needs to train his backside off (literally).

 

[Omega Blue]

Two more picks and Byrne upgrade
?
