Hot Topic 2016 DRAFT

[El Topo]

Just have the feeling that we may lean towards Brodie against Taranto should they both be available, for the simple fact we need the inside mids.

Do we think that we may view things from this perspective, even if we did rate Taranto higher?

Rest easy Harks. As you've said in the past, we have an actual strategy now, we're drafting for 2020 not 2017. No more ad-hoc decisions.

We need inside mids, outside mids, hybrid mids, goal-kicking mids, any other type of mid mids.

I think we pick the best player, full-stop.

Maybe best for Carlton in terms of attitude and off-field, but I think all else constant, best on-field talent will be chosen.

We got Cat mids, Dog mids, Crow mids, Lions mids, Giants mids, Pies mids...

 

[Burgers45]

With trade period now finished, anyone know if we've retained pick 5? (I am very confused at what picks we go to the draft with now)

Yes - we have kept our first pick this year and next.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Time to get excited about this thread now that we have retained our first 2 picks.

 

[4thchicken]

so... whats the likelihood that GWS get whacked for whitfield and pick 5 moves up to pick 4?

 

[Das2Blue]

now that trades are over

My Draft Predictions

5....Will Brodie

25..Jordan Gallucci

48..Tony Olango

63..Tarir Bayok

 

[lzimmer]

What's the consensus now that our picks are set in stone?
5 = Taranto
24 = Kerr
???

 

[Das2Blue]

in first 4 rounds we have 5 , 25 , 48 ,63 , 66, 70

we have others but i don't think we'll use any more then these

 

[Jimmae]

Can we do a proper phantom this time FlowersByIrene, I bloody told you it'd go deep!

No

Okay thanks Stephen

 

[Pafloyul]

No

Yes to Taranto, no to Kerr.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

No

Yep, that's the plan for this time around. We'll set up the proper phantom to kick off for Monday maybe. Will go all the way through till teams pass.

 

[teknodeejay]

Brodie over Taranto for mine.

Can we wait for the AFL Media highlight reels?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Can we wait for the AFL Media highlight reels?

haha of course.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Brodie over Taranto for mine.

Yep, I feel he's the safer option.

 

[thebluelagoon]

anyone got any examples draft prospects who rose up the draft late and turned out to be busts?

 

[The Grover]

Pick 25

Drew, Gallucci, Pepper-Powell, Venables, Clarke

 

[BobP]

No to Kerr, kind of feel like forwards like him are being phased out.

Furthermore, we need midfielders.

 

[Arr0w]

now that trades are over

My Draft Predictions

5....Will Brodie

25..Jordan Gallucci

48..Tony Olongo

63..Tarir Bayok

If they are the first 4 picks, SOS will be sacked

 

[Arr0w]

Yep, I feel he's the safer option.

Flowers, he is a very average footballer, is that what you really want?

 

[Pafloyul]

anyone got any examples draft prospects who rose up the draft late and turned out to be busts?

Don't know, but there are plenty of examples of the opposite... that is players who are highly rated going into their draft year only to fade then flop once they are drafted.

 

[TerryWallet]

Does anyone know how the new Academy points system works, where you apparently can only use as many picks as you have vacant list spots?

GWS have #2 for McGrath, then 15, 37, 39, 45, 52, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60, 77.

Assuming Carlton bid #5 for Setterfield and Sydney bid #10 for Perryman, how do, or can, GWS match them?

Basically, under the revised rules, how do GWS turn that lot of Picks into Setterfield, Perryman and say Macreadie and Sproule?
