Strategy 2016 Draft Needs

[Danger in Texas]

have heard we are into sam powell pepper. Not sure how reliable the mail is, but apparently has done a lot of work on his kicking

Hmm, don't mind SPP, kicking is the major worry but he's very explosive

everything about him screams 1st rounder, except his kicking. If he HAS been working hard on his kicking, you'd hope that he's reached an acceptable level and will continue to develop it as a priority in club land.

Setterfield......Dangerfield, gives me goose bumps. He isn't from Moggs Creek is he?

When I think of 'setter' I think of dogs, dogs are loyal, therefore not like Dangerfield.

Is Willem a German spelling or something? Or just pretentious parents?!

Willem Dafoe the actor? Been around over 20 years so might fit.

Cedric Cox at 25 in CT's latest power rankings, interesting

I've seen several of his games locally and whilst he has good speed and nice skills, not sure about his contested work, seems very "outside" to me, and he is a year older than a lot of others in this draft. I think we have his type covered with Curtly Hampton... personally I wouldn't have him in contention for our 1st round pick....and we don't have a 2nd at this stage. Just think Berry offers far more, but I admit I'll always favour contested beasts that can win their own ball and I honestly believe he will make into a midfield beast at 192cm with the added ability to be utilised in so many positions and roles. Not top mention his outstanding character and leadership....will likely Captain the team he is drafted by at some stage of his career.

Yeah agree with the Cox assessment, he's high-ish in my power rankings but not too high, same with Alex Villis.

Agree with Berry, would have loved to see some more gametime for him this year, that's the reason he's in my top 20 but not in top 10. Still like Drew more, though

If we can bring in a quality mid via FA or trade, I think we just take the most talented player available regardless of position.

If we bring in a quality mid we likely don't have a 1st pick in this draft and that to go along with no 2nd or possibly 3rd if required for Jarman the pickings after that for "most talented player" are going to be pretty skinny and purely speculative I'd reckon.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I tell you what, the more I see of Logue, the more I think he becomes a top KPD in the comp. Has great rebounding and intercept abilities, and seems pretty good as a stopper at this stage.

We don't need him, though

 

[hendo8888]

Not one SA player in Twomey's top 25. What happened to guys like Scharenberg etc?
Are we likely to get him, if he falls to our pick? or has he fallen way off the radar of late?

There's still a long journey to the draft ......high fancies currently will drop, and there'll still be late bolters

I heard Scharenberg was poor athletically with no outstanding skillset .......must say i've watched some snippetts of him & the above is correct, however he's a very smart footballer on the field and makes good decisions .......think Bernie Vince

Bicks Jeffcrowe Have you seen any games TAC Cup of Jordan Ridley?

Yep, food good footballer, 3rd tall defender type, maybe scope to play midfield...will get drafted late 2nd round onwards I feel.

Saw him play nationals ... V good late 2nd
Round IMO

Ps do you know him or seen him?

 

[Bicks]

Brett Anderson's been pumping up Ridley's tyres for a while now, even thinks he's a 1st round chance....I'm not quite that enthused..

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Ps do you know him or seen him?

No. Heard him mentioned on the Road to the Draft Podcast this week and hadn't heard much about him other than a mention in the Bigfooty Phantom Draft.

SANFL U18 Preliminary Final is currently being played between North and the Eagles. Will Hayward has started well for North with the first 2 goals of the game. Ben Jarman is also playing, number 29.

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Hayward is dominating on the North half forward line. Kicked 3.2 and been involved in the 2 other goals. Jarman has done some nice things this quarter as well.

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Make that 4 goals to Hayward in the 1st quarter.

Reckon Hayward will surprise and be top 35 draft pick and an outside chance to be the first SA kid

He looks a great prospect. He's kicked 6.2 about 5 minutes into the 2nd. If clubs believe he could play a bit in the midfield as well as a medium forward he might go even earlier.

 

[Bicks]

Draft eligible Woodville-West Torrens' Jake Comitogianni joint winner of the Reserves Magarey Medal in the SANFL, not a bad effort from a kid still eligible for the U18s surely given he's a prolific ball winner and pacy he's a shot late in the National Draft or at least a Rookie chance.

[AdelaideFan14]

3/4 time North lead 12.11 to 5.3. Hayward has kicked 8.4 and was involved with at least 2 of the other goals.

 

[AdelaideFan14]

15.15 North d. 9.7 Eagles. Hayward finished with 9.4. Missed 2 shots completely in the last. Matsouliadis, Minervini, Hayward, Jarman, Sweet will all be in the bests for North.
