List Mgmt. 2016 Draft Prospects(Poll Added)

[Wizard17]

Your profile pic is telling me Fowler is your favourite this year, am I right?

One of them. I just liked the pic.

 

[JAMES_B_101]

191cm with an elite jumping ability

That's the sort of forward I'd be looking at, someone athletic who can put on forward tackling pressure would compliment what we have in Boyd and Stringer.

also would be important for when Crameri/Dickson would be winding down

One to look around at our late picks is Ezekiel Frank. For a 195cm player he is really swift bellow his knees and has a really good burst of speed in the contest/on the lead. Would need time to develop though.

 

[Dav1d]

Probably been posted. But still

Very light build, looks decent though.

Lots of players that come from the NT are...

He is so tall for a fast zippy small forward. Until you realize how much he towers over the other small forwards, you would think he is under 180.
Someone was saying we need a small forward.... I also want a pacy tall, so we could get both with 1 pick.
My concern is his build, could he play Afl with that build?

 

[VitalDread]

Lots of players that come from the NT are...

most bulk up quickly
Meet a few NT kids thought the VFL and TAC System and once they enter the professional system
they adjust really quickly most of the time

 

[Wizard17]

He is coming from the NT their systems is not very good, most of their kids are really skinny. I think he is listed at 195,81 if he can keep his speed and agility and get up to say 90-95kg he could.

EDIT: he is 195cm, 83kg

 

[Pugz89]

Wiz, reckon Josh Wallis could make it if he sticks it through? Probs not at the Dogs but elsewhere?

 

[Dav1d]

He'll hit the gym & put on the neccesary muscle, Jack Gunston isn't the biggest tall & he goes alright
Don't want to pull a GWS & make him a fatty ..

I'm not on the Frank wagon just yet. Hoping he gets an oppotunity to play in the div 1 carnival so we can get a better gauge on what he's really got

He'll have to continue to play very good football at VFL level to be picked up.

I imagine that he'll play in the Div 2 side. Remember I'm talking about a late pick with him.

He is a late third early fourth round pick. At that range, his upside makes him a worthwhile pick.

I'm thinking he goes somewhere close to where Abaina Davis went in the draft

I'd still want him late if we got Battle with our first, would take us to 4 key positions in total. Which is the league average

There was another guy I liked during the NT game. Flashed some good stuff then shanked a couple of kicks. Taban (12). Did some relief ruck work late in the game too. Is normally a CHB.
The surprise for me is Olango (32) would be a rookie pick. IF managed well would be far better than an international convert to groom as a future first ruck.

I would say more a rookie type at this stage. Needs those 3 years to hit the gym for starters.

 

[perro_loco]

This happens more in the other thread and it's definitely not just you Captain, but can people stop trying to sell Hrovat off to the Giants and Suns? If he decides to leave (and Vital says he wants to stay, so good on Nath for his loyalty!), he will be nominating where he plays next year. Why on earth would he decide to move interstate to a club where he will probably still be a depth player? Before proposing a trade, everyone seems to only think about whether the clubs would agree to it, but the players need to agree to it as well.

Hey guys, this forum interests me greatly but am totally ignorant of the new points draft system. Could you please tell me where I can read up on these new rules, with academies, points etc. Hope you can lend a hand? Cheers and GO DOGS!!!

Then I hope it is us that drafts him.

I'll just explain it.

I've taken an example from my Phantom (note it still isn't done)

Say for instance Jack Bowes (GC Academy) gets nominated with Pick One in this draft.

Pick One is worth 3000 points.

Now due to being a Academy/FS selection they get a 20% discount which means Gold Coast still owe 2400 points

Gold Coast's next pick (7) is worth 1644 points now take that away from the 2400 points and they still owe 756.

They lose pick 7

Now there next pick (they got from Melbourne last year) is pick 9 which is worth 1469 points now again we take that away from the points they still owe (756) but this time but this time they end up in the positive with 713 points left over.

They lose pick 9.

However they regain a pick equal to the 713 point had left over from pick 9. This is Pick 27.

That is how it works

 

[Wizard17]

One to look out for who will get talked about a fair bit in coming months is Reece Piper, he has an absolute cannon of a kick.

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2016-05-11/giants-lose-priority-access-to-murray-bushranger

GREATER Western Sydney's last-ditch bid to retain access to academy prospect Todd Marshall at this year's draft has failed, with the AFL ruling the Giants will not get priority access to the tall forward.

Clubs were notified on Wednesday that the Giants had lost access to the 198cm Murray Bushrangers forward, who has burst onto the scene this year after playing two years of cricket.

It is a win for rival clubs who have been frustrated by the Giants' large Riverina recruiting region, and the number of quality prospects available to the Giants at this year's draft.

In a note to club officials, the AFL said "the decision by the AFL for Marshall to enter the draft was made in consultation with his family, and taking into consideration the individual circumstances surrounding his process of registration".

The Deniliquin prospect kicked four goals for NSW-ACT on Sunday in the Rams' win over Queensland in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.


GWS football boss Wayne Campbell and academy coach Jason Saddington met with the League on Monday to put forward their case to retain first call on Marshall at this year's draft, but the Giants have been denied access through the bidding system.

A win for sanity

Some Casey blokes that are going really well atm
(All could be rookie selected if developed)
Jaxon Briggs- speedy midfielder that played with sandringham dragons last year
Plays through the midfield and burns his oppo with speed and is very clean with the ball
Hes about 176cm i think and played 23rd man for Casey against Blues and kicked 4 goals
Great pressure player

Corey Machaya- Plays like Toby Mclean with his marking and x factor
Slowly developing his game to suit any position
Hes the type of player that can fumble 4 times but still manage to make a clean hand pass out of traffic

Oscar McInerney- 205cm ruck that plays like a midfield and can take marks like a key forward
He appears lighly built but is srs strong in the contest
Has great follow up work and is clean below the knee's
Has already played senior vfl and didnt look out of place
He literally is a freak player
Someone his size shouldnt have that speed and skill below the knees
