Analysis 2016 Draft...

[moses]

Is Lever's brother in the draft this year? Not suggesting we pick him up at 13 btw.

 

[Stiffy_18]

I picked Venables because of the name. What does he do?

Very similar attributes to Dangerfield at the same age.

 

[LikeATiger9]

So 4 picks to date before 90 and 4 players already gone - no more delistings i'm assuming? Can we get Barlow as DFA please. Take this trade period from an F to an E-

Although he is similar paced to our present crop of mids, his stats for 2016 match up with Sloane on Footywire. Very cheap and provided some experienced depth and I can potentially see him play deep with his height when resting off the ball. We must get Knight, Cameron, Milera etc around the ball more to provide the 'need for speed'.

Girlfriend from Geelong?

 

[Untouchables22]

Very similar attributes to Dangerfield at the same age.

The ability to be manipulated by females? Quality Jim Carey impersonations? Egomaniac?

Are we thinking one of venables, Powell-pepper, drew or Berry if we go for a mid

Have a look a Shai Bolton.

 

[Houston]

I'd really like English. O'Brien doesn't strike me as a ruck for the modern game.

 

[earlsta]

Anyone with this years draft knowledge know what are our chances that we're going to end up with a decent mid at 13? Will all of them be gone?

 

[FAITH]

just heard reid say we will defn go for mid

 

[hey shorty]

Pick the best available...... midfielder.

 

[Wouldbetackler]

We prob won't get Powell-pepper though as west coast have the pick before us and should take him because freo should take Petevski-Seton with pick 7

I think Freo will take a tall. English is my pick.

well i think Ogilvy gets the final say .. well i hope he does .. and i hope he gets best available no matter what. hopefully its a mid, but i wouldnt be disappointed if it werent.

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Would love an inside/outside mid that could slot straight in either on a wing or fwd flank to learn his trade at the level and have stints through the guts as the year progresses

 

[CrowinNT]

After the Gibbs debacle, I have decided I just want a player.

Imagine the lols if the Crows said pass at pick 13.

Manic Organic. Crows style.

Hard to get those types outside the top 10, unless they're very raw.

At 13 - rather than a proven mid we will get a mid that hasn't quite put it together or has played forward / mid or defence/ mid with capability to be full time mid

That's the difference between 13 and top 7 or 8

Doesn't mean 13 can't end up better

Not this year, One of the best drafts for years and it bats deep. 13 can get a top line 200 plus game mid. It just what type do we get. a Tall mid, small mid, inside, outside, fast, best kick, natural footballer, ready to go. etc.
Way it looking with this draft a Jack Graham type will be available with pick 43,

"Can" being the operative word.

I don't know why people make claims like this with any degree of confidence. There's been plenty of "this is best draft since 2001" claims in recent years which invariably turns out to be garbage.

 

[GreyCrow]

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

Ditto. Competitive beast. Someone who puts oil in the shoes of the guy who is in his spot. Someone who brings a training sled to a knife fight.

 

[Deaneus!]

Can we select Corey Lyons? That would be funny.

just heard reid say we will defn go for mid

Well, that's a surprise.

 

[ad victoriam]

"Can" being the operative word.

Hamish Ogilvie is one of the best recruiters if not the best in the AFL, and every year the Crows have to fight of offers to him being poached,
I will put my trust into him to get the right player, even at 43 and hopefully 53 if all goes well with Jarman. The thing I want is to get Jarman at 67 and use 89 on ROB
That will be 1 very good mid, 2 good mids with potential and a possible tall.

From the videos he looks to have a very poor kick. We don't need any more of them.
