You won't see me get upset if we get Bolton.

My memory of when we drafted gray with that late pick people went gray who, then watched the highlight videos and we all got a bit excited from what we saw. I think a lot of people really liked that gray pick straight away.

If my memory is correct, I was very happy with Robbie on the strength of what his TAC coach said in the Draft Edition of Inside Football. I value those coaches comments because they see these guys every week over one or two years.

Whose your suggestions then? Talls forwards with picks we have ? I don't like Kerr with our picks. Probably not battle either. Leaves Marshall or Brennan cox.

I'm pretty much settled on Marshall at 14 unless a crazy mid slider. One of Florent, Spp, Hayward and Bolton at 17. One of the millions of genuine mids at 30. (want Clarke) If there is a slider from the above pick them otherwise battle, Sproule, cox or another real mid.

Late picks for backup forward / ruck (darcy Cameron), maybe Parfitt...rookie olango / ladhams / darcy.

Agree with most of this with the exception of Marshall. I reckon he's as vanilla as they come for his size. Does have skill but not a strong mark or good kick for goal. He doesn't run hard both ways either.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I didn't like Marshall when I saw him but he was supposed to be shot by the end of the season. His contested marking is supposed to be his strong point. His kicking looked fine. If we don't get a kpf this year... when do we get one?

His contested marking is probably his #1 selling point

If that's right then I'm even less enthusiastic. Like most I'm basing this on the u18 all star game that I watched and a few minutes of highlights.
You'd be happy for us to draft him Macca?

I agree we need a KPF, I'd rather Battle or Kerr. Kerr worries me with the strong Carlton connection, Battle appears more versatile. Having said all that if the guy we want is not available I'd rather we brought in Eddy in the rookie draft.

He's got the most potential of all the forwards in this years crop. I'd be alright if we picked him with 14 or 17. 9 I would have been 50/50 about.

The final trade of picks we made with Sydney gives us 14, 17, 30, 31 instead of 9, 19, 49. We have four picks inside 31 instead of 2 but with our record with picks in the 30s was it a win? A lot of our 30s picks in the last 16 years were traded out probably the best was Aaron Young. In that year we had 2 consecutive 30s picks as we do this year and the other was Ben Newton. In 2013 we also had two 30s picks and we took Mason Shaw and Tom Clurey.
Pick 9 could have got us a very good player and we would probably have the same chance of getting someone worthwhile out of 19 and 49 as 17, 30 and 31.

Nah. In this draft 9 to 14 is not much of a shift at all in terms of player quality. Obviously 17 is not much of a change from 19, but upgrading 49 to 30 and 31 is very big.

It's been said in numerous places but the top 40 from this draft all have shown a lot of top end talent, with maybe the consistency or lack of x factor the question marks. It would have been a bit unlikely to pick a good prospect at 49, but there will still be plenty of talent left to pick from at our picks in the 30s.

 

[Adz2332]

Marshell is a tough one... is it hes just the best of a bad lot of KPF this year??

and on 9, i would have kept it.... wait till draft night when 1 of the blue chip mids slip and see us cry

Not the point I was making. I stated that our record with 30s picks is not good, and 49 could be just as good as a couple of picks in the 30s. Losing 9 could mean we pass on someone like Jack Scrimsjaw or Jarrod Berry.

I think most people were more annoyed that we picked Boak over Selwood and Thorp than Sellar.

People were more annoyed when we picked Paul Stewart that early too.

IIRC Selwood had injury concerns.

I'm not sure how you reach the conclusion that pick 49 is better than picks 30 and 31. Not only are the picks nearly 20 positions earlier, there's also 2 of them. And given how far off your logic is with your post, I'm inclined to also point out that 2 > 1.

Battle, Scharenburg and Eddy is good all round drafting.

Macca didn't Marshall's coach make a comment along the lines that he (Marshall) was cooked by the end of the season. The 'footy experts' may in fact be judging his performances in his latter games of the year a tad unfairly?

Conor Noonan, late or rookie type pick. Mid/HFF.

"Originally from the Plympton Football Club, Noonan likens himself to Hawthorn pair Isaac Smith and Luke Breust, using his elusiveness to goof effect while also providing defensive pressure."
Are.... the old 'goof effect' has come back in vogue

 

[Duck Farmer]

2006 draft thread a great example.

"We drafted Travis Boak over James Sellar, WTF. I'm nuking my membership as we speak"

"Robbie who? Well we officially ****ed this draft up"

And then we picked Matthew's inferior brother at 71.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Oh come on is that really necessary? Justin's inconsistency is frustrating but he has been a very good player for the club. There's no need to run him down like that. Too much of this lately. Real wolf pack mentality going on.

 

[Revan11]

If Scharenberg is there at 31 I would take him. Contested beast and goal-kicking mid, if you look at his highlights he's very good at finding the goals.

I'm interested to see what people think of Jy Simpkin, and if he's there at one of our picks do we take him?

Sort of has a tyrone vickery feel about him. Pass on Marshall, Battle all the way..
