List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Needs...

[Danger in Texas]

Higgins is elite for that type no doubt

Smoky for top 10 as you know you're getting a guaranteed player

L Fogarty would be a great get in 2nd round if still there

Clubs love players with the potentially high ceilings in that 8-15 range. Reckon Higgins goes 11-15, but no higher. He'll be a good get for some team though

Agree ... usually

But there isn't much 'upside' in this draft

Might be better off banking a 200 gamer who's a winner

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Got better speed and more penetrating kicking in space than Sloane/Viney IMO, you're right that he's competitive though. In/out mid

Yep ! Defo like him , one of my favs as I like those types

 

[Danger in Texas]

FTR some rankings at this stage

1. LDU
2. Rayner
3. Sutherland
4. Cerra

8. Hayes
9. Constable
10. LOB

[Danger in Texas]

Like it actually !

Reckon constable will get higher and higher and end up around 3-5 with a bullet

Brander and D Fogarty need to lift to stay there

LOB is about right - gee he's poor with what he does without the ball which you only see live

he was good !!! Better player than Edwards IMO

25-35

Yep that could definitely happen with Constable, I reckon I rate both him and Coffield above the groupthink at this stage. Wouldn't surprise at all to see both go that high

Fogarty may be playing injured? Still rate Brander's influence enough to keep him top 5 for the foreseeable future.

Is LOB a very outside player when watching him live? I get the sense that his defensive work and running is poor, despite his great endurance

Shocking accountability and just runs ahead of the ball into space to get easy kicks and doesn't use his running defensively at all

Lucky he's good with ball in hand , disappointing overall as thought he could be top 3 or even no 1 at end of last year

Not injured just battling

Hello again, here are Edwards and Rankine's games against Vic Metro.

 

[hey shorty]

Rankine is going to be pretty special IMO.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Does Charlie Cameron have a younger brother playing in the championships this year?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Rankine is going to be pretty special IMO.

Agreed. He's my favourite prospect for next year, at this stage. Although young Sam Walsh from Vic C isn't far behind

 

[Danger in Texas]

I think Ian Hill has just as much X factor as Rankine just hasn't been exposed as much.......YET.

174cm really worries me with Hill, though

 

[Danger in Texas]

It shouldn't, he's only 16 so he still growing, will most likely end up 177 - 178cm and a superb aerialist.

If he ends up around 178cm that's fine. If he doesn't grown any more, however, he'd find it hard to become anything more than a half forward, IMO. Have the same opinion on any prospect under 175cm.

 

[Mismatched]

In other news - don't reckon Edwards is top 40 . 3rd rounder - rookie level

What's you main concerns re Edwards?

 

[hey shorty]

What's you main concerns re Edwards?

Reckon he hasnt got any real weapons and isnt super quick.

Like his old man just taller, he'll be fine.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

What's you main concerns re Edwards?

SHOULD be an inside player , as is really slow and also slow with ball to foot

Needs to get better inside as he won't have enough weapons on outside and his kick lacks penetration , he's a bit of a sideways kicker

He's an accumulator rather than someone who hurts

Don't get me wrong - he will get drafted but he's not top 40 material IMO

 

[jo172]

Anyone else thinking most of these criticisms could have fairly been labelled at his old man in the first few years of his career?

So he's more a Kane Cornes type?

 

[Red mist]

Fogarty playing back getting involved.
