Hot Topic 2016 DRAFT

[Stig O'Hara]

Graham just doesn't get enough of the pill for my liking.

 

[Jimmae]

Development at afl level, too many changes in coach, changes in game plan were the main reasons behind Graham's struggles. He can still make it in our current system. I recall his earliest days being a dead eye in front of goal. This is one clear thing that he is now struggling with. Easy to see confidencebis dented. Sharenberg is an upgrade. 5 years younger and should get early opportunities under Bolton. A third rounder will be cheap for a player with his intelligence and he's a goal scoring mid.

I honestly reckon we can do better at our pick. Have a look at our phantom (not yet, we're at pick 16) to get more of an idea.

im not to worried about who we get. seems to be out of taranto brodie or sps. im a scrimshaw fan but any of these guys would be a great get. nice to just sit back and see what happens. 4-5 picks from 25 onwards will be the interesting ones.

we know pick 5 will be a very good player. if we can get another 2-3 very good players in the draft it will make a big difference

I'm back on the Scrimshaw bandwagon after suggesting his name months ago, just from what I'd read about him. I thought we should draft big Harry last year, before I knew what picks we'd have, and I got my wish so I hope maybe I'm on a bit of a roll.

Could be a very good player agree but have heard on this forum not sure if accurate he has issues with maturity level and not quite professional.
Also with Brodie that he lacks a good defensive endevour , taking charge of the ball aggressively no problem but he's reluctant and refuses to follow instructions for more effort in this area of defensive effort.
Who knows? My choice is any one of SPS, Taranto or Ainsworth in that order.
Go Baggers

 

[No1Suspect]

It's a deep draft. There are going to be sliders. We just have to hope we nab a high quality slider or two.

Wish there was a guy named pork

Yeah, it's all true.

Taranto or Sps it would seem.

Fine by me although I should qualify this by saying that I know nothing of note about either. Nor not of note for that matter.

Why are people narrowing it down to two or three already? Have I missed something?

Ep posted that Sps was probable, Hayward making a late charge and next most likely, Taranto maybe, Brodie unlikely. And a few other media sources linking us to sps.

Just thought I'd look at the draft videos on the AFL website.

I had a look at a few kids I haven't heard much of in phantom discussions. Here's some we could look at for pick 48 onwards and later, maybe?

(Of course tomorrow I'll look at a few more videos and have a different opinion!)

Esava Ratugolea - 194cm full forward. A good mark and kick for goal. Didn't seem to do much running but a good leap.

Could be a real excitement machine this kid, but I think he will need 2-3 pre-seasons to get the yards under his belt to be able to run out a game of AFL football.

This is my favourite phantom draft, has us taking Ainsworth at 5 and Venables at 25, would be over the moon with this.

Whatever a skilfuk forward is I want one

Whatever a skilfuk forward is I want one

Actually it means someone who is really good at ****ing things up, the opposite of skilful.

skilful
adjective expert, skilled, masterly, trained, experienced, able, professional, quick, clever, practised, accomplished, handy, competent, tasty (Brit. informal), apt, adept, proficient, adroit, dexterous - eg. his skilful use of light and shade.

skilfuk
noun awkward, bungling, inexperienced, incompetent, clumsy, inept, unskilled, unqualified, amateurish, cowboy (informal), slapdash, cack-handed, inexpert, maladroit, unaccomplished, unskilful, ham-fisted - eg. Essendon are a pack of skilfuks.

Have gone back and watched a couple games with a focus on Hayward. The upside is definitely huge and can see why he's a chance at 5.

So explosive in any position and his disposal is no worse than anyone else around the teen picks.

Only reason I'm proactively against taking him at 5 is he doesn't find the ball enough in the midfield.

 

[HARKER]

The Grill - draftees.

Some seriously dopey kids here.

zeeCFC won't have to slow this tape down....They're slow enough already.

Todd Marshall's head is deeply unsettling. Disappointed Taranto doesn't support the Blues. In fact disappointed that NO ONE supported the Blues. ****ing cheating Essendon campaigners still with all the supporters.

None of these kids would have been alive to see Carlton success

Nor Essendon.

Our decline in support is worrying.

At least he can have a haircut. Alex Witherden is the real scary one.

Worth watching, fairly amusing, no surprise Essendon asking the most stupid questions. I'm now a Harry Perryman fan, take him at 5 i say!!

*stick cricket, classic! guys as laid back as they come.

 

[thylacine60]

I know we can't brown paper bag our way to a killer list anymore but would it be possible to take more than 1 player at Pick 5? 3 even? That would really set our midfield up for a while.

 

[Azul]

Not sure on Shai Bolton - highlights look a little 1 dimensional - all he does is take speccies and kick goals!

Wait... we could use one of those.

 

[Funk]

it has to be said that SPP does not seem to be the sharpest pencil in the case

 

[zeeCFC]

Idiots can be great too. They can also be president.

Exactly, look at george bush!
