Opinion 2017 Draft Discussion - Pick 3 - Poll added

[G-TRAIN07]

Still maintain LDU would be perfect for us.

I think so too. TAC cup champions will tell us more

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Which is true of many 4th/5th/6th round picks, yeah?

By the team you get to that point in the draft, every player has notable deficiencies. Comes down to whether the club believe his disposal can be improved in a professional environment.

I think we have raised the bar a bit higher now.
All of our draftees this year and last year are particularly good kicks.
We are playing Graham ahead of Kerridge IMO because Graham is a better kick.
White and Armfield dropped for not getting enough of it and poor disposal when they do.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Seems to have a few KP \ Rucks in the top 10 this year. Maybe the year to trade for a Kelly!!!

 

[PumpyChowdown]

LDU!!! CHOO CHOO MF!!!!

 

[Jimmae]

Still Fogarty for mine, he's just under the radar as he finds his feet in the SANFL.

 

[CRIPPA9]

Love the look of LDU, but he doesn't seem to have that hurt factor required from a top 3 pick for mine. Can much quicker see Raynor or Fogarty influencing the momentum of the game. Same case as SPS>Brodie from last year. One was 'safer' , but the other had much more upside and hurt factor. Champs will be interesting and v open to changing my opinion- I Haven't managed to grab that much footage.

Will be watching the champs with a great deal of interest this year.

 

[Pafloyul]

Still maintain LDU would be perfect for us.

Probably the closest to what our needs are but there but there's likely a few ahead of him in absolute terms.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Goes harder than SPP and was a bottom ager last year, the hype was warranted.... still think he'd be a super get.

The guy cant kick. Disposal is atrocious by foot.

 

[LemmingMaster]

This years draft seems rather thin compared to last years fairly deep draft. I have a feeling we will probably load up on midfielders with the last two drafts/trading periods getting a very good batch of talls.

Really interested to see where Hayes falls, he could be an early second round selection come draft day.

202cm & 104kg, might be a good project ruck for us :

#23 Lloyd Meek – A down game for the overaged ruckman. Missed a few easy shots on goal which he should’ve converted, but won a good number of hitouts. Dropped a mark he should’ve taken in the last quarter and it was disappointing to see him have a down game. His follow up with his disposals as always was good.

#23 Lloyd Meek – Great versatility being able to ruck and go forward as a key position option. Great above his head, good skills for a big man and was able to play as an extra midfielder when used for linking up throughout the ground. Really strong running patterns up forward when leading and positioning when in the ruck.

Did you ever see Jobe Watson kick when he was drafted?

We already have enough players on our list with iffy disposal, we don't need to be drafting in more of them.

Just read afl draft central power rankings. Watched the Darcy Fogarty video. Surprised how much he reminds me of Cripps. His strength in the contest is Cripps like. Stands up in the tackle very upright and distributes the ball. Hard to stop.

The other element is Fogartys decision making and evasion. With Cripps, more and more we see him look for an option, go to kick then hold onto the ball and step around the oncoming player and look for another option. Because Cripps is big and not particularly quick evasiveness isn't something you associate with him. Fogarty is also quite big and steps around players in a very similar style.

I found Fogartys video very impressive.

Looks like there are a number of inside midfielders available as high picks in this draft.

Agree Fogarty is a favorite a 193 cm midfielder forward Bull at the contest pays center forward how one would spilt I'm not sure untill we see more of him.
Probably 40/60 Darcy is a good footballer no doubt , but that's the piont we already have Cripps and Charlie C which are in similar physics , talent.
That's why I lean towards J. Stephenson ofor X factor , natural footy IQ and speed all tributes which cannot be taught.

SOS was a big fan of Will Hayward. Natural forward talent and the speed and skill to play as a line breaker as well.

Stephenson seems to offer the same ingredients except at a higher level early in his career. I liked Hayward last year too, and love how he is shaping up. If Stephenson is a level up on him, then maybe he is a big shot at our Top 2-5 pick.

His rating seems to be in that ballpark atm. He is one i will look at closely going forward.

Maybe SOS's thinking might be trade in Hopper to replace Gibbs. Draft Stephenson to add forward x factor and onball speed rotation.

Just spitballin'

I've come to this a bit late, I know the champs start this weekend but at this stage is there a commonly agreed handful of players seen to be in the running for the top two picks in the ND?

Stephenson is very special, best natural foobal and I agree Hayward is such a classy, fliud forward too.
I hope Silvagni Picks Jaiden.
Last year my dream selection was SPS and Samo is ours, great choice, will turn a match with just a handfull of sooner than we think.

What about Sutherland? Is he a better forward or are they just saying he is good to trump Cricket Aust.

 

[BluesRule]

I read Knightmares top 20 and it does not sound like there is much depth this year so far. Hope a few step up at the Champs.
Maybe not having a second round pick is not a big deal?

Never seen Sutherland play, so i don't know. He will also be a big watch from now on.

I've just got a feeling that Stephenson might be in SOS's thoughts.

For some reason, I can't see us picking up six kids again... largely due to this reason.

Could easily be wrong though.
