List Mgmt. 2016 Draft Prospects(Poll Added)

[Dav1d]

Apart from being sub 180cm I can't see any real big weaknesses, he finds a lot of the footy and uses it very well off both sides also he is quite quick. I like him off half back due to his ball use and line breaking ability but he also can play midfield if needed to.

Could you give me your top 5 or top 10 kicks of this years draft?

There aren't many really elite kicks that I've seen this year. Probably McGrath, Piper and SPS are the best I've seen then the field gets even.

Who is Rohan Armstrong?

Hmmm. I'd have Judah up there to, from the game that I saw; he could kick the ball well so sweetly
But that alone wouldn't be enough to make him get drafted, could be Viojo-Rainbow all over again

So, Rotham is probably an unlikely chance to fall to our pick is he? That Cale Hooker comparison excited me

 

[Wizard17]

I'd have Rotham around Pick 10.

I'm interested in Taranto if we go small. His ball winning capacity + his tank + his ability up forward fascinates me.

 

[McCraeBF]

Taranto please

 

[Dav1d]

Is Taranto a wog name? Important question I know

IF you are thinking of expanding the bulldog wog squad, then yes.
Is wog, is good!

 

[Wizard17]

Yeah it is Italian

Lots of potential in so many players, lack of major production for many of these players indicates a real evenness in the prospects. Probably a good top 10 (after the academies get almost half of the top 20!).
In terms of list fits, there are a few but all are a few years away from Afl. Another draft where we will need to wait 3-4 years for contribution to the side. As such, a Ruck in the third and 'small' forward in the fourth would be good.
If I was the list management team, I would be seriously thinking about trading our first for a future first rounder OR trading our first two picks to get higher in the first round this year.

We don't have a third.

Teams will be very reluctant to trade next years picks this year. Especially first rounders.

 

[Wizard17]

I agree with picks 25 - about 50 are quite even but there are always those who can adjust to the level quickly especially those who work very hard on their games. Probably won't happen with any KPP or Rucks but can easily happen with smaller types playing games early games if they have the right mindset no matter what the year looks like or where they are taken.

Carltons fourth is almost as good as our third. Likely to trade both to an academy team anyway.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how we make changes on our list this year.

I guess we could be trading a lot of early picks and up taking 3 picks late in the draft.

Or if we trade fringe players and use those picks as sweeteners to get better picks for them.

Do you think people will FINALLY be satisfied with the KPPs we've got if we happen to draft in at least 3?

Bulldog supporters will never be satisfied when it comes to KPP

 

[Dav1d]

I was looking at my large photo of Chris Grant today & wishing we had a player just like that right now
If we can take a couple & just have one become a star, I'd argue that it was worth it

 

[LittleG]

Do you think people will FINALLY be satisfied with the KPPs we've got if we happen to draft in at least 3?

No. We need at least 12, just in case all but the last one are injured. No point ever being short of a KPF. How do we get the 10 more first picks? By renaming ourselves to the Greater Western Ballarat Bulldogs, demanding 20 first round picks and an academy that covers all western Victoria that is north of Geelong. This appears achievable and needs to be voted on at our next AGM. [emoji854]

On a side note.

My computer died and as such I lost my watchlists/rankings so the next months top 30 could be a little late.

going to buy a new one? I've been using my phone nearly this whole year now
I might have to get a new one soon

Hate losing computers. They have so many programs you can never get working properly again!
Online storage and google docs can be really handy.

Yeah just a laptop for everyday use.


But I still have to save up to get a decent gaming setup so I can get the more recent TW & Civilization games bit bored of the old M2TW, RomeTW right now and have been playing Civ1 on a SNES emulator ever since my CivIV disk decided to die on me.

I use to love Rhye & Fall on CivIV. Can't get it working on my new machine.... [emoji20]
