Hot Topic 2016 DRAFT

[Bic]

Yes I get that feeling too, really hard to decide, but Taranto, slightly ahead of SPS for me.

I just don't see another Taranto type at 25 or later in the draft. Possibly a Fisher out there, as he wins a fair share of contested ball as well as hitting the scoreboard and has played senior level, but just not that 3rd tall option when resting forward.

There are a couple of SPS type players later in the draft, not as skilled as yet, but that could change. Shai Bolton might be available at 25. He actually doesn't mind winning his own ball and given he was born later in the year, 8/12/98 has more upside than most

That's why I am not too worried at 5, I trying to determine what happens after that

Which way would you go Bic , if you were SOS

I can see us getting a good player any which way we choose, which is a great position to be in.

If I were SOS, with many holes in our list as it is, would just take best available at every pick.

I would also take Taranto over SPS, purely because of Sumner/Pickett.

I just hope Taranto can transform into a full time midfielder.

SPS isn't really like Sumner and Pickett and is probably more of a midfielder than Taranto.

More my hopes of those two turning into outside midfielders in time, understanding that SPS is both outside/inside.

Agree on the Taranto point, and is why I hope he can transform into a full time midfielder in time.

If GC do select Taranto at #4, as I think they may, then we'll bid on Bowes.

Wouldn't be surprised should we also bid on Setterfield, ultimately leaving us with the pick #7 on SPS.

More importantly, we'd be avoiding pick 6!

GWS face loss of draft picks over Lachie Whitfield affair .......

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/gws-fa...-lachie-whitfield-affair-20161111-gsn45r.html

Greater Western Sydney stand to lose early draft picks as well as star player Lachie Whitfield as part of the final damning conclusion to the 18-month drug saga.

It is understood the AFL is looking to strip the club of two early draft picks, possibly a first and second-round selection in national draft on November 25, with the cases against Whitfield and two former club officials likely to be ratified at the AFL Commission meeting early next week.

WOW!!! that would be huge!
Suddenly, we could be talking about Setterfield being a genuine chance at our selection.

See if there's an update for Adobe Flash Player or a pending update for Mac OS. Should solve any issues.

From the article :-

GWS traded down to pick two in the draft to secure a top-end talent and still have sufficient points with later picks to claim highly rated draft prospects Will Setterfield and Harry Perryman.

No way the AFL take pick 2 off them. That's too shiny for the AFL to strip.

Probably tin hat stuff, but I dare say GWS's frantic efforts to secure pick 2 was to cash in some of their 'confiscatable' 1st and 2nd round picks.

This way they get an elite pick, pay for their academy selections with whatever they have left. And if they are left in deficit, they have already started stockpiling extra 2017 pick(s).

The AFL doesn't punish. It does back room deals with all parties that punishes just enough to avoid excessive media scrutiny. Our salary cap punishments notwithstanding.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Jesus christ that is huge news... but yep. Can't see the AFL stripping them of pick #2.

That would be insane though.

From the article :-

They would have been counting on pick 15 to help them get their academy players, I'm not sure they can afford to match an early bid for him and may focus on getting the rest of the gang. Perryman will be bid on quite early too.

Try updating Safari, though you might need to update to the latest macOS for that (Sierra, sounds like you should be compatible, and well worth doing).

There's a capacity for Tapatalk to parse bbcode and spit out a result, but with the media plugin you guys are using I'm not sure that's possible.

You might be able to create a seperate parse when users drop links in, such that link remains alongside the media container. Tapatalk will then convert the link when it knows how, but otherwise treat it as a link.

That said it's a horrifying app that needs to be destroyed.

Firefox? Have you heard any IT news in the last 2 years?

Uninstall; also, Safari crushes it on macOS.

no - no I won't

 

[hobrien]

The AFL should hit GWS hard to slightly correct the mistake of giving them so much in the first place.
