List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Needs...

[whitey_1975]

1st Round is probably too early for CCJ I would think.

Fogarty of the D variety it will depend on how much weighting the recruiting guys put on his disappointing Championships albeit pretty obvious he was carrying a knee issue...gut feel it's more likely he could be available than not. Hunter Clark and Andrew Brayshaw outside of Darcy Fogarty probably our best bets, can't see Rayner, Dow, Davies- Unakie, Cerra slipping that far, maybe Constable a slight hope. I could see us not necessarily taking a mid if X factor kids like Stephenson, Higgins or Balta are considered best available at our pick. Some decent mid prospects that we could likely secure with pick 17 James Worpel and Lachlan Fogarty both of whom I rate a bit higher than some.

Would u take DFogarty at 10 if we get that pick, or hold out to see if we could get him with 18?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

From the champs games, Moore seems to have a bit of Zac Fisher about him, but with more goal nous

Stephenson really showing his midfield craft recently, which is good

How did Domic go? Seems to be in some good form recently

Hope all goes okay with the surgery

Together with Rayner and Hayes- Stephenson is prob the most unique / special talent in this draft at his best

Perhaps he's pushing for top 3 over more consistent types like cerra and even Dow

Sorry I'll put my 2 bobs in

You rank the players and take whoever is there highest on your rankings

Many players would be in mix depending on your rankings and and who hasn't been taken at 10

I'd have Fogarty at 10 ish but there may be someone still there you rank top 5 or 6

Still have Dow and Cerra in that top bracket. I reckon they're two special talents in their own right. Stephenson is absolutely right up with them though.

Reckon there will be a lot of very good miss that come from this draft class - Cerra, Dow, LDU, Rayner, Stephenson, Brayshaw, Constable, Clark

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I don't really see Stephenson as a mid, more a forward/wing type, still very lightly built and looking at him up close again can't really see the frame for a lot of muscle. Domic was good, really like his run and carry. Moore is a beauty just a pity he lacks the size, smart footballer. Although it's a bit unlikely I'd really love us to give Flynn Appleby at least a rookie spot, reckon he's the type of kid that would grab the opportunity with both hands and give 110% to make it. Reckon if he misses at the draft VFL clubs will be all over him if he wanted to go down that path.

Few clubs that have troubles quietening small and medium forwards would be mad not to look at appleby main draft

I personally would be happy to take Fogarty at 10. He's very much a 'potential' prospect going off this year, but he has some very unique traits nonetheless. Just needs to develop other aspects of his game which he's been unable to develop this year, due to injury, form etc

One thing that I love about Stephenson is that he has very good ability to read the ruck taps, from what I've seen. Just such a smart footballer who, IMO, could definitely succeed in the middle if need be. Agree that he's more dangerous on a wing/HFF at this stage though.

Appleby should get drafted, he sounds like he has a bit of Dale Morris about him?

Edit : Really liked the look of Kane Farrell again yesterday, great blend of inside/outside and good acceleration and run, I'd be very comfortable drafting him, think he has AFL footballer written all over him.

Did Farrell compete hard enough ? Like his smooth moving with the football and the left foot kick

Haven't seen him play hard one on one much

Stephenson eventually Tom Lynch role ?

Forward and wing even with Lynch in side ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Depends who else is available, gut feel is the AFC likely would if they really wanted him but they'll have a pretty good idea where he sits with other clubs come draft time. My hope is Hunter Clark being available with our own pick.

17-18 is pretty on the money for Clarke IMO and also Brayshaw

Can see this. Could turn into Lynch, but with more X-factor (i.e. more run and carry, evasiveness etc)

Boy, that type of player would put bums in seats, too

 

[Danger in Texas]

17-18 is pretty on the money for Clarke IMO and also Brayshaw

I actually have Brayshaw top 10. One of the most rounded midfielders in this draft class. Decent pace, and great kicking skills for an inside mid

IIRC he played champs and was okay? Will have to look at some more tapes

Sounds like he's definitely a goer, could go 30-50 in this draft.

 

[Danger in Texas]

A favourite of mine, and a favourite of Jeff's having an impact at the moment

 

[Danger in Texas]

His brother outshone him yesterday, over ager Hamish best on for the Sandy Dragons.

5 goals definitely a match-winning performance, on the surface

Personally reckon Hamish should have been drafted last year

 

[Danger in Texas]

Draft em' both...package deal?

Get the go home factor out of the way?

Might be able to get Angus too

Imagine a midfield of Brayshaws and Crouches running riot for the next 10 years

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Went in hard at every contest yesterday, really on yesterday Farrell>>>>>Lochie O'Brien and probably goes 3rd round?

Lochie really is soft as butter - I wouldn't touch him

3rd/4th sounds fair

 

[jirkago]

We should target CCJ. That marking is just so impressive, kicking looks funny but is ok. We need a replacement for Sause
Would he be there at pick 20?

[Squiba]

Almost every club needs a Luke Brown. With the ability to play on larger opponents as well, he could go in the 60's if that fits a club's needs

Brown amongst the most underrated players in the comp. Does his job every week.. no fuss... best 22 every week.

Might go between our 1st round and 2nd round pick .... pick 16-18 is a stretch IMO

 

[Danger in Texas]

TAC stats from the weekend are up, Jaidyn Stephenson got 34 disposals

Well and truly in my top 5 now, after starting the season in the early 20's

 

[Danger in Texas]

Noah Answerth is apparently one who has a lot going for him, but has been injured all year

Porter and Appleby should stand out in this game

Teams for the Young Guns game Friday, basically the last chance for recruiters to have a last look at some of the youngsters that they have some interest in but not quite as popular or exposed as some of the better known kids. Rapt my boy Flynn Appleby has some genuine interest from AFL scouts, really rate this kid as a lock down defender in the Luke Brown mould. Brad Benacki ball magnet in the Matt Crouch vein [quicker], Callum Porter a natural footballer, Aiden Tilley a lanky, speedy winger with real talent, Cal Wellings well rounded midfielder/winger, Tristan Xerri Tall Ruck/Forward with upside. Bolded the lads I've seen and think have AFL attributes.In Red those that should get drafted or rookied at the very least. Appleby and Tilley in particular standouts to have flown under the radar big time IMO

Men’s Young Guns Game team lists:
The Young Guns Game provides potential AFL draftees that clubs would like to see in action one last time before the drafts with a chance to showcase their wares, with Sydney’s Tom Papley (ex-Gippsland Power) a recent example of a player to have impressed in the match.

There's a few familiar surnames running through those squads. Brererton, Boyd, and Blakey stood out. Any relation?

 

[Betts are off]

Don't know about Boyd but Brereton is Dermie's son and pretty average, from memory Mason Blakey is John Blakey's nephew, saw a couple of his TAC games last year and didn't mind his talents, a red head that goes hard, thought he was at least a rookie draft chance last year but he went undrafted, played VFL this year for Carlton's VFL side so may be on their radar as a rookie as they've rissoled most of last years rookies.

Cheers, always interesting to see how far some fruit falls. I'd imagine being Dermy's son can't be easy. Probably like being Bunga's son Connor playing footy in SA! Everyone waiting for him to figure out how to be a superstar
