List Mgmt. 2016 Draft - It was on last Friday.

[richoatthedisco]

It's a strong, deep draft, so naturally we've traded out of it and will use the minimum number of picks.

Brodie tipped to be a slider too

Well we got a close look at him with the VFL squad so hopefully they fully understand the kind of talent we were passing up.

 

[Michaels]

if its quality passing by foot on both sides and elite speed over the first 20-30m that we are after we should be taking Piper with our 2nd or 3rd pick.

So you would have passed on Prestia AND Caddy for pick 6 and gone with an untried junior??? I wouldn't, and I'm not attacking you, just interested in your thoughts

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Brett Anderson reporting he thinks Ridley might slip to us. Likened him to a Jack Watts type with precise kicking.

Hes rates him higher than most apparently and has him Number 14 on his big board

 

[tigs2010]

Hahahahaha Bishop

I haven't seen him play this year, so can't comment on him. I know KM has a huge 'bias/love' over him seeing as he saw him at the Pies, I doubt he's seen any of his stuff in the WAFL this year, so it'd be daft to comment on how he has gone.

Amazing

Nothing amazing but a reasonable amount of good thinking and analysis.

Certainly reinforces my feeling about not taking a KP this year and getting one next year when there are supposed to be about 10, compared to 2 decent guys this year

Knightmeh.

Na, actually not a bad article, even if he does mistakenly claim Swan as an inside mid.

The bit on body work for key defenders backs why I think we should take a good hard look at Brennan Cox.

I understand why it was done, that with our best players in the second half of their careers we need quality senior support, but we paid a high price. Getting a first-rounder for Lids saved our trade period. Now let's hope Danger does an ACL.


I don't really hope that, but how good would it be if Geelong finished last!

I understand why it was done and think it will end up being a good trade. But still 100% think we missed the boat not trading down 6 for 2 picks between 10-25 and give the higher one to GC. Sydney's 14 & 17 the obvious choice.

We tried.

Cochrane vetoed the idea.

You would only do it on the proviso that that GC would accept the trade.

GC were campaigners, and from their perspective fair enough.

I wish we took 15 this year though from GWS when 13 didn't come (and was agreed to), rather than future 10-19.

Still very happy.

 

[Morro]

Heard we are into some kid Clarke, midfielder tipped to be a 2nd rounder?

Anyone in the know?

Agree, but no way GWS were going to give away their top pick from this year (outside of 2), as they need points for their plethora of academy players

The 10-19 pick you state could EASILY be a pick as low as 6. The improvement of a lot of teams - a LOT have gotten better - mean Geelong are a Selwood or Dangerfield injury away from a massive drop. I think this is a likely scenario....

13 was agreed on record.

Would be very happy with him, runs all day and wins contested footy.

 

[tonemeister]

I wish we could draft McCluggage. The kid is all class. He's been studying at Ballarat Clarendon which is one of the best regional schools anywhere in Australia. He could easily have boarded at St Patrick's which is right next door and an AFL breeding ground.

Jarrod Berry, Willem Drew and Hugh McCluggage from Clarendon could all be AFL players next year.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist the obvious pun.

 

[bc27]

We need a KP forward.

I don't know who. But that's what we need.

 

[tigerfan1961]

13 was agreed on record.

Yep, I did realise that Bobby but they never got it to give. If they had 13 & 15, we would have received one of them, no doubt

Misunderstood! Still a good result, GWS are clearly very fair (more than) to deal with.

That's what next year's two first-rounders are for. There won't be one worth taking with this year's picks. We can get good mids and hopefully a good key defender, do you want us to get a key forward who's not up to it just to say we did?

Which defender are you thinking? Cox?
