List Mgmt. 2016 Potential Draft Picks

[benblinkau]

If there is a true flanker amongst our picks, ill cry.

Unless it is a crazy slider that we can just not pass up on after we address our needs.

 

[Visenfest]

oh god.... if that happens!

Melts on here followed by pitchforks at Alberton.

 

[Needs Gravy]

If the cat is out of the bag in regards to us showing interest in Eddy and some other team picks him up first then we would look pretty silly.

Thanks Kane.

I am sharpening the pitchfork as we speak, because we all know there is going to be a 'WTF' moment during draft night.

If we do bring Eddy across and we hold onto Reynolds at the Magpies, the Magpies go from the top group of premiership favs to CLEAR favs.

I'd love to see him at our club he is a better player than Reynolds and if he has a full preseason you never know if he could contribute. If he doesn't play AFL that is fine, we will score some extra depth that helps the Magpies perform but also we will gain another foil at SANFL level that will release the pressure on a returning Howard. Last thing we will want is Howard copping the #1 defender after a knee injury so for the investment in his future this may be a good call.

FWIW I cant see any other club grabbing Eddy anyway so we should be safe. He's too old to interest rebuilding clubs and most of the top sides have sufficent KP depth

Geelong or Sydney MAY be interested, but i doubt it

Nek minnit, jay schulz is on the rookie list.

 

[Needs Gravy]

While the last few draft have been an improvement I would be much more relaxed about draft night if he had an ear piece in with Portia on the other end. No left field selection this year or utility project types. Best players available at our picks please.

Like i said earlier, there has to be a WTF moment on draft night.... is there any other way? Lol

You realise that one of Portia's biggest qualms with our list management is 'best available' drafting?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

The reason there's a WTF moment on every draft night is because most of us are all caught up in the BF D&T board group think.

We'd have a minute knowledge of these kids in comparison.

Must of read my earlier post

I think quality afl defenders will have eddys measure. He is kind of inbetween being ok but not great in the air and ok but not great at everything else so teams will have any number on guys who can beat him in the air or on the ground.

Having said that we are in the situation we could even use a half useful tall forward.

I like Snelling but does he need to be upgraded when we don't have to?

Yeah no need to upgrade Snelling. Howard's lti means one rookie can be upgraded and history says we will have another injury to upgrade a rookie so every chance we can offer Snelling a chance to play if his form is good enough

I honestly doubt we will rookie reynolds, theres limited spots and he's too similar to Palmer.

Hoping we will rookie a big ruck/forward though.

I don't see it with Reynolds. Think he is a sanfl player.

There's no reason why Eddy couldnt push for selection from round 1 if he can prove he has the fitness level.

If we pick up eddy; battle kerr marshall cox all gone and wait to grab a tall next year so we grab 4 midfielders maybe 1 kpd if cox is there

If we were to play Eddy, Westhoff and Dixon in the same forward line I can see it causing opposition teams a few headaches.

Out of those three Eddy is the best kick for goal

 

[PJ Power]

Delist Stewart, to create an extra spot on main list.
Keep Krakouer and Snelling as rookies.
Delist Hewitt (sorry mate) to create an extra rookie spot.

Pick up Barlow or Barrett as a DFA with money left over from Ryder-Monfries suspensions.

Pick a three mid, 1 KPF haul at draft. SPP's explosiveness is very tempting. Battle's highlights look like the type of player who could complement Dixon. Not sure if we could land both without using picks 14 and 17 on them. That's possibly reaching though.

Eddy as a rookie, plus one other.

That would give our 2017 side a lift, while giving us the injection of young talent we need for the longer future.

Yep will be the first time for me where I don't pay attention to the mock draft boards or read any highlights/profiles.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Booooooo! Terrible idea!

Yeah let's draft an 18 year old give him one year (which he improved greatly at the end part of the season) and then delist him. Seen it suggested numerous times on here, literally won't happen

 

[Doctor Feel]

I hope we draft Marshall so I can call him Reptar.

 

[raptalia]

We are linked to a 79kg half back in this morning's press. Thought we needed another Ollie Wines not another Jasper Pittard ?
Witherden might be good but do we need his type? His attributes remind me a bit of Hamish Hartlett who we tried to off load. Witherden missed most of 2016 with a broken leg so without injury he might have been higher in the pecking order. .
We are also linked to Tim Taranto in the press but we probably needed pick 9 to have a realistic shot at securing him but if the Draft is as even as Cripps suggests he could fall our way.

That back flanker could be our 4th pick since Hoon is gone and O'Shea could go.

Yes but I do not think our defence is our problem I think we need to boost our midfield and forward options with some quality.

 

[Chachi]

Serious question; Is Eddy better than any of the KPF prospects from this years draft?

In terms of immediate impact probably yes.

Battle is the only KPF that interests me personally. He's a good goal kicker and a great runner for today's game plans.

I won't be disappointed if we don't recruit Marshall. Kerr I'm more indecisive.
