Analysis 2016 Draft...

[On The Crouch]

I've come to this thread for a bit of positivity so hopefully it helps me! At least we have a bit of interest in the draft by still having pick 13. Let's get an absolute gun! I trust Hamish.

 

[Iron]

THE best midfielder available no questions.

There are some amazingly strange names in the draft this year.

 

[hugecannon]

Graham and sharenberg chances in the 40s but I'd prefer Myles Poholke

I've seen Poholke's name a fair bit today, what type of player is he?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Apparently no SA boys likely to be considered at 13 and the top 8 boys is pretty much clear.
Feel free to post YouTube clips for any of the guys considered at 13.

I wouldn't rule out Hayward. It it's definitely a stretch

Kid is a gun but so was Ben Lennon

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I've seen Poholke's name a fair bit today, what type of player is he?

A good Jared Lyons replacement - half forward / mid

Not quick but a bit more speed than Jaz and good overhead and in the contest

 

[Danger in Texas]

Lot of Luke Parker about him

 

[Red mist]

Bolton was impressive in that best of game. Like the look of him. What is his range?

Looks like Port are in a good position for Hayward?

Correct - pick 17 if they want him bad enough

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Apparently off field issues

Not the types we go for but 20-35 . He was exciting that day

 

[Lawrst]

Type of player:

I think a Tom Libratore type would look good in our side.
Andrew Gaff too

Yes please!!

There is a gaff type called fisher from WA who has played good senior WAFL footy and dominated the champs . Not as good a runner . Could make it to pick 43

Libba - scratching head here . Maybe the Collingwood F/S Callum Brown is most similar . Pick in 30s probably

 

[Bicks]

Big bodied, inside/outside mid/forward, extremely strong overhead, that hits the scoreboard consistently....and from what I'm told a very high character young man...might be a bit of a stretch to be there at 43 IMO...but this is a very deep draft especially for players that project as best 22 mids.

 

[Footypie32]

I want another bull. A see ball, get ball type. Sloane MK II.

 

[Footypie32]

A good Jared Lyons replacement - half forward / mid

Not quick but a bit more speed than Jaz and good overhead and in the contest

If we trade Lyons out for peanuts then proceed to draft a similar type it will be the mother of all list management * ups. 400kay-esque.

 

[hendo8888]

One day, we'll look back and say "Thank god we didn't trade pick 13 for Gibbs and missed out on drafting ...".
Hopefully.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I like Venables or Graham

Both realistic chances to be there at our first selection

That's the Crouches, Brad in particular.

I want an inside mid with a point of difference. An explosive mid, or a skilled mid. No real skilled inside mids as such likely to be available (Fisher with a later pick maybe?). Venables is very explosive.

What mids are around that have pace and a hard edge?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Venables and Powell-Pepper

Explosive hard edged types

I'm keen on one of those

We could even get both TSR !

 

[Danger in Texas]

Don't want Graham. Reminds me a bit about Dunstan

 

[feenix67]

I'd love Taranto to slip to us.
