Can't wait for draft day, I do wonder if there are going to be any curve-ball selections. In the interest of putting it in writing and doing a big (See! I told you so!!!) My predictions for draft day upset selections/melts:

Brisbane - Jayden Stephenson with pick 1
Fremantle - Aiden Bonar with pick 5
Collingwood - Oscar Allen pick 6

Geez, young Naughton would have to be mighty pissed off if that one happened!

We just stared down GC for pick 2.

No chance NM will get us to reveal our hand early.
I reckon when Lloyd strolls into the Draft Room on Friday night and starts popping his collars both Carlton and North will pass on their first two picks in awe of his sheer manliness (is that how it goes Snuffaluphagus?)

Haha! They've always had some friendly competition haven't they? Joint captains and all.
I think the Pies need a forward more than a defender. Rumour is that Darcy Moore will be/wants to play defence in 2018, so that leaves them with... Mason Cox? Lol.
They did start using Ben Reid as a swingman, but he's hardly the type to build your offence or defence around, injury prone, old etc
Oscar Allen is criminally underrated. If he was 2cm taller he'd be in contention for top 5. He's got the reach to take good overhead marks, and is good below his knees/agile etc, so he'll be handy in f50 even whilst he takes a few years to bulk up.

I don't think Allen would necessarily be a bad pick for them at all, although my couple of Pies mates following the draft closely all want Naughton. They're just as lacking for size down back.

Fair enough, if they want him they're not being unrealistic, he will be there at pick 6. I'm sure the Saints will be more than happy to pick him up. I've got a feeling that if the Saints miss out on Naughton it might actually give Sam Collins a better chance of being taken as a rookie.

Will be stoked if we get him at 60...

South Adelaide’s Nathan Kreuger is exciting AFL clubs with his raw talent


Andrew Capel, The Advertiser
November 21, 2017 3:36pm


IT took just five quarters of football for spring-heeled Panther Nathan Kreuger to wow AFL recruiters.

In a full match against Vic Metro and a quarter against Vic Country at this year’s AFL under-18 championships, the tall South Adelaide utility turned heads with his freakish athleticism and raw talent.

“Athletically he’s so good that you'd draft him every day of the week,’’ SANFL high performance manager Brenton Phillips said.

“He’s a bit of a freak physically and his upside is enormous.’’


After being left out of the SA side for the first two rounds of the carnival, the 196cm Kreuger shone against Vic Metro with 16 disposals, eight marks, five inside 50s and a goal in a performance that illustrated his strong mix of attributes.

Of his eight marks, three were contested while he won the ball at ground level with ease and used his long left-foot kick with great effect.

Kreuger’s campaign ended a quarter into his next match when he was concussed after he hit heads with an opponent in a tackle.

But his name had already been etched into recruiters’ minds.

Kreuger became one of only eight SA players to be invited — on the recommendation of at least five AFL clubs — to the AFL Draft Combine in Melbourne.

“I didn’t think I’d get the opportunity to go there because I didn’t play too many State games but obviously I must have done enough to impress in that game against Vic Metro,’’ Kreuger said.

“The clubs must have seen that I’ve got some decent attributes and wanted to get me in for a closer look, which was good.

“Since the national championships I’ve had nine AFL clubs ring me.’’

Phillips concedes Kreuger is far from the finished product but said his upside is off the charts.

“He’s still very much learning the game, the game-sense part of it and he needs to stay involved in games for longer,’’ Phillips said.

“But there’s no doubt he has some terrific traits.’’

Kreuger, who spent most of last season playing in the Panthers’ under-18s before finishing the year in the reserves, was born in Darwin before moving to the SA Fleurieu Pensinsula town of Victor Harbor with his family six years ago.

Now living in Adelaide’s western suburbs with his parents and four siblings, Kreuger in 2014 represented the Flying Boomerangs indigenous team at the under-16 national championships on the Gold Coast.

While his size and versatility are key attributes and allow him to play at either end of the ground and even as a big-bodied midfielder, Kreuger prefers being stationed in attack, where he did his damage for the Croweaters.

He plays like Port Adelaide swingman Justin Westhoff and lists star forwards Joe Daniher (Essendon) and Lance Franklin (Sydney) as two of his favourite players.

“Obviously my versatility is a strength but at this stage of my career I feel more comfortable up forward,’’ Kreuger said.

Lol you're a crack up. I'd hazard a guess and say the irony is completely lost on you?[/QUOTE


Its incredibly humbling that a supreme football intellect such as your self would use some of your valuable time to respond to a mere mortals post on a site full of dumb arse posters . The Queen and I salute you 007 .
