[FallingLiefs]

4x mids please and thank you

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Battle is 192 cm

Gunston is 193 cm
Tom Lynch is 191 cm
Darling is 191 cm

He could he easily be a 2nd key forward.

 

[MALTSY]

14 Berry
17 Marshall
30 Battle
31 Clarke

Rookie: Darcy Cameron, Jarryd Lienart, Dylan Whimpress

 

[JUSTWORK]

Battle is 192 cm

Gunston is 193 cm
Tom Lynch is 191 cm
Darling is 191 cm

He could he easily be a 2nd key forward.

Pavlich was also 192.

 

[Malibu#27]

Bowen Lockwood was a fantastic player. Injury stuffed him.

Was a gun cut down too soon.

See i would see them as forwards who roam. I would not consider any of them as being a key forward.

That's a fair comment, but arguably a roamer is a better foil for Dixon than a second traditional KPF would be.

I guess it depends on how people define a key forward. Can a 1st, 2nd and 3rd forward/tall all be called key forwards? Maybe more about ability and game...also where coach decides to play them.

I see Battle as a Jack Darling type. A tallish roaming forward

 

[Black 18]

True, but a roaming forward would just about be pointless in our side given our way of bringing the ball forward, it's very much kick it long to a contest.

All of those guys mentioned previously play in sides that create space, honour leads, and work hard with blocks etc to give their teammates room to move in to. We just don't play that way. Hell, even Dixon - with his height - struggles with guys jumping all over him most games.

Change the method and a roaming forward would be a decent get, stay the same and they'd struggle at that height.

 

[Visenfest]

Step 1: pick up Barrett or Barlow as a DFA.
Step 2:

14: Berry
17: Battle
30: Kerr or Cox
31: SPP/Clarke/Drew/Scharenberg
85: upgrade Krakouer
Rookies (assuming 2 free picks): best ruck available, Liam Ryan.

If we don't DFA Barrett or Barlow, we should probably make it two mids at 30 and 31, and rookie the best remaining KPF rather than Liam Ryan.

 

[snozulu]

I am thinking 3 mids and 1 kpf. 1 genuine insider, 1 pacey good ball user, 1 goal kicking type mid with a bit of everything in his game and a forward like the size of battle.

Ever considered that it might be that Schulz was cooked and we had to play Boak who isn't a forward in the defensive half forward position (and so would have no idea about leading etc) that resulted in us kicking it long to a contest? It's hard to honor leads when they aren't making them consistently enough for the mids to trust they'll mark it.

It's why I'm hoping we get guys who can play in the midfield but rest up forward and actually PLAY forward, rather than being an oppportunist like Gray is.

Florent, Powell-Pepper - those types.

Bowen Lockwood was a fantastic player. Injury stuffed him.

Wasn't saying he was crap. All the observations of him remind me of Bowen and like I said looks a little bit like him. But was a high draft choice who only played 50 games hence bad memories. According to Wikipedia the injury was sustained fooling around at training. He was standing on a ball another player ran into him. Bet it was a spud or an idiot like Heuskes.

 

[PJ Power]

Agree. But I don't mind forwards who roam and lead after watching the stagnant way our forward line functioned this year.

 

[Doctor Feel]

With four picks in the top 30, there's a better than usual chance that we'll actually pick one player (just one, let's not get greedy), that has actually been mentioned on this board.

Lol what is with port and triggering choruses of "who?" when they announce their pick.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Battle is 192 cm

Gunston is 193 cm
Tom Lynch is 191 cm
Darling is 191 cm

He could he easily be a 2nd key forward.

Probably has a bit of growth left in him too.

Hahaha I came here to post the exact same thing.

Has Barrett been delisted?

I agree with Berry at 14, if not then Florent.
17 - Marshall
30 - SPP
31 - Cox

I would like to throw another name up there that's Jordan gallucci. we desperately need blokes who can actually kick the pill. Theres no footage of witherden due to his broken leg who im keen on and is described as classy. Galluci however, Starting at 45 seconds, as a bottom ager gives me an immediate. Good leap, skills, xfactor and pace all shown in that one play. Very low to the ground

 

[PepeSilvia]

First four rounds of the draft by team + some pretty colours.

Reckon we're positioned very well (not quite GC, but still). Included points to hopefully incite melts.

 

[Popielnicki]

Jy Simpkin another option med fwd/mid very smart broke his leg was predicted to go top 10 now 15-20

Yeah I don't mind him. He reminds me a bit of Polec in the way he moves.

When Cripps said the guy they wanted at 9 will very likely be there at 14, Simpkin is who I thought of. Has all the attributes of a player that will start as a forward but who can do stints in the midfield. Like a reverse Robbie Gray.

We do draft lots of blokes, not the majority, but a significant percentage who have one major injury of lots of problems eg hamstrings and missed a big chunk of the year we draft them in. This would be consistent with what we have done since we drafted Jacko in 2008 who slide from top 10-15 to 22 due to his knee injury all through to Johnson last year who had multiple hamstring issues and played only a handful of games in the season we drafted him in.

 

[missionpossible]

I agree but we tend to grab them well below their original market value. Jacko the only one to really work out though.
