List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Needs...

[Danger in Texas]

Any stats available, Bicks?

 

[Cleric]

Are the games telecast this year?
They can do far better with promoting the a u18 champs than they do.

Jeffcrowe

Your boy Jy Lane playing if you're around.

Thanks Bicks ! How he going ?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Watching the Calder/Northern replay now. Boy, Balta's a good prospect, as Bicks already knows, but he's doing particularly well in this game

Did you notice Langlands much Bicks ?

What you think ?

 

[Rotayjay]

This year's an interesting one, given that we might be pushing for a flag in 2018 (hopefully our second in a row ) but we could also be staring down the barrel of a rebuild.

Can we actually afford to go by the adage, 'Draft for talent, trade for needs'? Given that convincing a decent player to move to Adelaide is seemingly one of the labours of Hurcules?

 

[Shaz2012]

Edit. Moved to different thread.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Draft needs

A top 10 pick which ain't going to happen for another few years

 

[JPetro83]

The recruiting scouts need to be on the look put for a ready made tough cocky annoying big bodied midfielder (Like the one we should have drafted last year... Powell-Pepper) and a athletic ruckman.. a 200cm that can run like the wind smarts. the days of a lumbering unco ruckman are over.

 

[Squiba]

Terry Wallace's top 20 as at today.

Surely if Spargo somehow fell to us, we‘d have to take him. Not a need but jesus, I rate him a lot higher than 12

 

[JPetro83]

We better not draft and weasel type mids under 185cm!
I want big bodied strong mids ready to play AFL footy.. no development players. Still pi$$ed we went for Galluci over SPP

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I wouldn't but I highly doubt we will be taking our 1st pick to the draft anyhow, think that will get us Gibbs this time. and our 2nd plus maybe a later pick will land us Edwards. Personally I don't see us having a big draft this year. Next year's 1st I'd be very reluctant to put on the table and certainly not for Gibbs or someone of his ilk, it has to be a "franchise" type player given the strength of the 2018 Draft.

Agree - it will be like the 2015 draft with minimal involvement by us

Bank Edwards and a trade target eg Gibbs and it could be job done

If we lose McGovern, we could still have a first round pick.

Say we get WC's pick (11-13), I would be hoping we grab a prospect that could very well turn out elite (i.e. a prospect with some potentially elite traits), e.g. Balta, Petruccelle or Garner.

Hoping we keep Gov though, obviously

 

[Jeffcrowe]

On Worpel, talking to a Rebels player the other day he tells me all the boys both this year and last year rate Worpel as their hardest opponent, just so tough and aggressive. Has missed the last few weeks with a back injury and has to pass a fitness test before selection for Sunday's game apparently.

He's great at what he does but I find him maybe a bit too similar to Brad but not as good ?

Will check him out in champs , was impressed last year but not sure the right type for us ?

We need some size and height . Geelong looked so much taller and bigger around the ball

At the moment we hold pick 17 , not sure that will get Gibbs on this draft where there is a bit of a drop off after top 10 at this stage only I guess

 

[Jeffcrowe]

2017 SA Ruck/Forward Prospect Callum Coleman-Jones.

SA U18 Callum Coleman-Jones (45) v North Reserves 2017

He's going to take so many contested marks in champs

Kurt 2 ?!!

This is what I'm thinking, he's probably like Brad at the moment. We don't need another Brad, we need an inside mid with a true point of difference, such as good kicking (e.g. Gibbs) or immense burst speed (e.g. drafting a prospect like Petruccelle).

Considering Gibbs' age, I reckon 16-odd would be fine. Gives us both some class and some height around the stoppage.

I'd certainly give pick 16 for Gibbs in this draft , not sure what Carlton will think

Good call re Petruccelle

I'm going to game on Sunday . Give me a list of your fav country kids

Didnt we only get a second for Gunston

 

[Danger in Texas]

We got a first from the Hawks, but it was in a compromised draft, so it was around the pick 24 mark.

We'll ask for WCE's first

Reckon Carlton would be alright with that this time, given we approach it in the right way. Their midfield is improving, with Murphy performing at his best, plus the addition of SPS and, I reckon, another mid from this year's draft.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Compares himself to Tom Boyd.

I think Coleman-Jones will play a fair bit up forward with giant under ager Ruben Flynn doing a lot of the Rucking at the Championships.

I'm interested to see how he goes against Lloyd Meek who I've seen up close and is also capable up forward.

One facet that Meek is superior to Coleman Jones...Foot skills.

Think Sam Hayes has them both covered for leap.

CJs kicking looks so awkward still but definitely improved

Riley OBrien mark 2 !!!

Maybe !

Bicks idea is better for them especially if we make top 4 this year

I wouldn't be trading a 2018 1st rounder in a hurry

I haven't been taking much notice of the 2018 crop, but I've heard very good things about it, so tend to agree.

Boy, if we could somehow nab Lukosis or one of the King lads next year...
