Hot Topic 2016 DRAFT

[Blue and Silver]

Pick 18 in 2018 sounds good. Hope we didn't trade for it though

The HS reported yesterday he was playing this weekend for Metro with two other FS for another club

I don't think they did, he is being put in cotton wool until his final TAC year, just like with Jack.

No they said two f/s prospects are playing u16 for metro while Ben is only going to play school football until the TAC year.

I say depends what we trade in if we actually get tomlinson and marchbank we will just go mids I think

 

[Blue__Balls]

Will definitely hit the magic 196cm barrier. Maybe we don't have to go looking for another key forward at the pointy end of the draft.

Send him off to live with the Cripps family for a year. He'll be 210cm before you know it.

Good in theory but the Blues had the same kind of thinking when they drafted Jaksch and it's not as if we should have rested on our laurels with him. Lets wait on just what draft picks we have, and on who might be available, before we make assumptions.

The HUN made a point of saying he is 195cm, 1cm taller than his Dad. True or not, he is growing fast.

Do both the younger brothers look similar?
It must have been Tom I saw then.

195cm @ 16 says, we'll have a beast on our hands.

Your right. The way the articial was written just made it a little unclear.
Make sense as you said SOS held Jack back till his draft year.
Do recall him saying it was partly to with how small Jack was.
At least he doesn't have to worry about that with Ben.
Kid looks massive for a 16yo

Might end up being a Jenkins, Lobb, Lynch for us.

Hope he keeps his athleticism and agility.

Then Harry M could be similar. Going to be some interesting position selections coming up.

It's really exciting to have a prospect like this on our hands. Going to be great to watch his development over the next 2.5 years.

Sharenberg 25 touches and Graham played well for SA.
MaCluggage 3 goals Brodie 18 touches really good for Country.
All these guys would be very close to AA.

Broadie looked ok only, Ainsworth very promising.

Battle uninspiring

 

[The Grover]

Yup.

Im also hearing around the traps that Mil Hannas boy is coming through the Calder Cannons and was selected in the Vic Metro U16's to

it is his nephew, he is bottom age U18 this year.

 

[Blugazi]

Gallucci and McGrath playing well so far.

I was agreeing with you

 

[The Facepainter]

Loved a couple in the second game, Mc Grath moves well, Venables hardness at the ball is inspiring and for next year Hayes looks the goods at 200cm already.

 

[thylacine60]

Who's opening up the 2018 draft thread? It's not too early is it? FFS....

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I expect this kind of activity from you mate.

Youre failing my expectations.

Sorry Jimmae

Tom has a longer face than the other two but otherwise he probably looks more like Ben. He has kicked a few bags for Greythorn under 14s, but has been a little quieter in recent weeks.

How does * get a first round selection for Hurley? They either trade him out or he walks for no compensation as a dfa.....

I hate quoting myself but the hs running with/confirming no compensation if Hurley/*12 playerz leave as dfa

If this is what we get in return, feel free to quote yourself as often as you like!

Anyone know why that is?

Is it by choice or he just wasn't deemed good enough?
Is there any reason why a kid would choose to play school footy over u16 for metro?
