Strategy 2016 Draft Needs

[Houston]

Rookie list Templeton? VFL form has been good and he showed a lot early on.

 

[Thinker]

When does Grigg get delisted?
At the moment we have 5 off the list. We need that 6th spot surely.
You'd think OBrien is certain to come on.
I dare say one of Keath Greenwood and Beech would too.

I reckon with this draft we would want 4 picks considering how deep it is.
Then there is Michael Barlow potentially as well.

At least one more must still come off

Maybe tomorrow?

Have just watched a bit more of Matt Guelfi - this guy could be a steal with a later pick. Very good at stoppages, has clean disposal, has some decent pace, and also has the ability to push forward. Needs to work on his endurance a little from what I've heard, but, again, we're a club that can do that. Could develop into a very neat inside mid.

Heard rumours that 3 will be taken in rookie draft by swans . Hebron is definite
McFadden likely as well . Others are chances for the last spot

None of them are much good , think jake brown who was impressive at 17 will miss out

Baron-Hay is son of a board member which may help him get selected !!!

Be a solid later pick for sure . 19 yo

Can they stay in the academy after their draft year ......or once they hit draft year that's it?

They can be 19 year olds and still be in academy .... but that's it

So am i correct that these Academy players could spend another year in the Academy, without the need to be rookied ? .......or are Sydney calculating / hoping that the cost will be cheaper this year than next?

 

[Danger in Texas]

I'm becoming VERY high on Taylin Duman too

193cm wingman, great skills, great endurance, if he can win more contested ball he'll be a player and a half

Some of those have already done that eg Wilson baron-hay Hebron McFadden are all 19 yo this year

Can some of you people in the know, please fill me on on possible 2nd, 3rd and 4th picks for us? Who is realistic, but we would be absolutely delighted to get so that I can celebrate without really knowing anything?
Thanks guys and girls. Appreciate the great work!

Well we have no 2nd round pick ......and frankly good luck to anyone guessing on #43 and onwards

What we can say, is that #43 will be needs based ......that player in some part will be determined by who we take at #13

Thanks for your reply. I know we have no 2nd round pick. I agree it would be hard to exactly predict who will be chosen later, but who could be around the mark, and who would we be celebrating if we got then?

Good little article on draft prospect Jarrod Korewha and video interview...

I agree. I really like him and I think he really meets a need. Nice height. Inside/outside mid with decent speed. Decent skills.

One of the BF draft experts in Bishop is saying we're interested in Cedric Cox, enough to make him think we'll take him with our first.

IIRC Bicks said that Cedric played in the game Haggis went and watched?

Hamish was certainly there that day in person...McCluggage, Berry, Drew and Lipinski played that day too??

Honestly I saw Cedric Cox on 4 occasions live this year as well as the televised game and whilst he's got obvious good speed and a nice skills set he just doesn't find enough pill or impact the contest enough for my liking at this stage.....and he's an over ager. I also feel he will take time to adapt to AFL on what I've seen so I see him more as a project type player. Would surprise me if we used our 1st on him...personally I think he's being overhyped a little.

I've heard that before too

Surely in mix for pick 43 but you never know these days !!

Tend to agree, he's in the 45-55 range in my power rankings at the moment. Long way to go yet, but could end up a very good HBF/wingman. Certainly has the skill, speed and evasion. Again, I do think endurance is part of the issue with Cedric, as he tends to float in and out of games, which our club can easily fix. Would be okay with him at 43, although I don't think he's the type of player we desperately need.

They're Vanila players Cedric Cox & Matt Guelfi.....Meh!

If we go tall with Marshall at #13 (unlikely but possible) ......then we'll take an inside mid at #43

If we take the inside mid at #13 ......then IMO we'll go for the "project" taller utility / KP at #43

I'll take a stab with 8-10 names
Poholke - fwd/ mid great overhead and good at most things
Lipinski- inside/ outside mid with elite endurance . Basketball background and good size
Drew- inside mid , great endurance competitive
Graham - SA kid larke medallist , big inside mid that is strong inside
Himmelberg - brother of Harrison who we bid on, emerging key position type . Not academy as moved to QLD
Cedric Cox - outside mid / half back from northern WA that moved to Vic . Brother came 2nd in the recruit show
Jarman - F/S forward/ mid. Smart and courageous with high skill level and footy IQ . Small and slow
Guelfi - inside mid from WA
Whimpress - raw , skinny pacy tall half back from SA
Fisher - small inside/ outside mid from WA who gets plenty of ball

Can you stop saying ' inside mid'? They will be more than just that, sharenberg and Dylan Clarke are ' inside mids' - we won't go for them

 

[Danger in Texas]

Cox screams 'project' to me, definitely not 'meh'.

Guelfi I certainly rate, also something of a project due to not so good endurance but has a lot of the tools

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Why? ......players are predominantly inside or outside ......lets not get silly about the terminology, everyone knows what each term means

All players today have to play both roles to varying degrees, depending on their core game strengths
