Game Day 2017 draft discussion

[Mitchell54]

Think we will draft the best midfielder going with our 1st pick this year unless someone we rate falls through to our pick. Think we'll be after role players this draft and get the elite talent next draft... or trade it for Tom Lynch

Based concurrent trends we should draft 3 micro spuds with speed and a 15 beep.

Based concurrent trends we should draft 3 micro spuds with speed and a 15 beep.

They do the yo yo test now and not the beep and factor in some kind if conversion to line it up to the old beep. It is supposed to reflex the way the game is played better, what it doesn't factor in is heart and will to push ones self, not to be confused with head over ball stuff that's different, more as to find the players that samsh themselves mentally and physically.
As one can tell I liked the old beep, so many more flashy burst players will end up with good yo yo to beep comparisons that will having no endurance.
As a side what does this change in testing say about any more possible changes to the interchange rotations. I'm saying there won't be anymore reductions for some time to come.

 

[Mitchell54]

There's a Midfielder by the name of Dylan Moore which could be available at pick 44.

Here's what Callum Twoomey has to say about him in the September form guide
From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro
August ranking: 24

It's been a long and busy year for Moore, who has played nearly 35 games for the season. But what makes the small midfielder a good player is his consistency, and he wouldn't have played too many bad ones in that total. Moore is a running machine who competes hard, is good overhead for his size, and pushes forward to kick goals on a regular basis. He picked up 24 disposals in the Ranges' finals defeat.

Saw a bit of Moore. If we are looking for a role player, he will Be a target, can’t seen anyone looking for superstardom our of him

Well o don't think we'll have a decent position in the draft so we have to look to draft a role player. Not worth risking the 1/100 chance at getting a superstar at pick 44. If Moore is as solid and consistent as Shiels than he will be a good pickup.

 

[Glacier]

I hope Gryan Miers slips through to our first pick
Could be a good chance that he does

 

[Mitchell54]

Here's the names been thrown around by us(supporters):
Joel Garner
Dylan Moore
Gryan Miers

 

[wahawk]

He hasn't played a lot of TAC or VFL

He is an athlete, and unlike many of these recruits, he has some skill

If mike Pyke can make it at AFL level, tatupu will easily

I hope you are right!

The only thing I've been wrong about was j.selwood not making it as a footballer

I know few respect me on here, but . Have a good track record

Make that 2 wrong

 

[HeHateMe]

CJ, Slider, Rookie Upgrade(Glass)

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

CJ, Slider, Rookie Upgrade(Glass)

The club have already told Glass he will remain on the rookie list next year with the promise of being upgraded in 2019.

We won't be taking CJ with pick 43 we will surely wait until a bid for him comes which is likely 60+.

 

[sven_inc]

I'd like to see us aim for a few mature age draftees. Our depth is ok but id love to try and grab the next Smith, Puopolo or Stratton. There are a few around this year. Maybe there is another Stewart or Menegola from the Cats.

Joel Garner
Dylan Moore
Gryan Miers

Will Joel Garner come off his long run?

 

[HawksILove]

Will Joel Garner come off his long run?

I don't think our pick 43 will get Joel Garner, he will go between 15 to 30.
and I also like Liam Jones, but I'm not sure were he goes in the draft

[The German Hunter]

I'm a fan of James Worpel. Maybe a chance of him sliding to 43. Still hoping big bird makes it to us, if not, Worpel would be my next choice

 

[Hawks81]

Cal twomey has joel Garner possibly sliding to us , on the AFL site .
That would be a great result

God I hope so!

 

[Steven Tyler]

If Garner is still around come our first pick, isn’t that a concern, considering it’s supposedly a weak draft?

I have no idea when it comes to the kids in any draft btw!

Wasn’t he tanking towards the end of year to play with his brother
I also think some kids have come on late in the year and joel tapered off. Can’t complain at 43

 

[The German Hunter]

Could he be a risk to another club in wanting to leave in a few years to play with Todd?

 

[Steven Tyler]

Why is it a concern?

The amount of man-love for this kid on here means if we don’t get him I’m concerned about the welfare of some posters
Is it because his brother is in our Academy that people are desperate we draft him?

God I hope so!

He must. Poster Mitchell5 posted above (#178) on Thursday that we as supporters have been most interested in Garner, Moore and Miers.
Today, Twomey posts that those exact same players (plus 1 other) might be who Hawks will target. Coincidence? Don't think so.

Maybe Twomey didn't have time to do his own research...

Exactly what I thought of as well!
