List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Needs...

[Comeonden]

Higgins pick 12 chuck him in the forward pocket from round 1. Footy smarts and ready to go. Coleman jones pick 39 would be the dream senario.

is it just me or is there a shortage of highlight videos this year?

They'll ramp up heavily from here.

They'll ramp up heavily from here.

hope so... I need to feed my inner draft nerd.

 

[mattymac]

If we took Fog, re: no one knowing his best position... he's very agile looking for his height. Strong in traffic too, loves the fend off.

At first I'd be thinking Otten replacement i.e. depth for Gov at first then as he builds his tank could look at a Lynch type HHF role or midfield (same height as the Bont)

 

[hey shorty]

Andrew McPherson - Woodville/West Torrens

Yes please

 

[latinoheat]

Bicks Jeffcrowe grundog49 Skippos where does CCJ go?

 

[hey shorty]

Will be gone by our 2nd pick and I reckon 12 is too high.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Bicks Jeffcrowe grundog49 Skippos where does CCJ go?

Hard one to place but I'll say 25-33

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I am not over rating just asking the question of people that have watched him play a lot of footy

Strongly doubt it

Struggled most of this year so he'd just need to get his fitness and stay healthy and put in 15 sanfl games until we would know what we have

Not even sure yet which position suits

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I've got no idea who's who in the junior ranks in terms of specific people we should draft, but I really think we need an injection of pace. For whatever failings he might have as a player, he was just about the only guy in our 22 with real, genuine leg-speed. Milera isn't nearly as quick from what I've seen, and I haven't seen enough of Gallucci to make an assessment of him.

Another area I'm concerned about is the ruck. Jacobs is getting near the end of the line, and the only other real option we've got is O'Brien and the jury is still out there. Other than that... what is there? Hunter on the rookie list? Is he up to it? Jenkins is OK to give Sauce a 5 minute rest each quarter, but you wouldn't want him to be your number 1 option if Sauce is injured.

Sam Hayes - if he got through which is highly unlikely would be a ripping pick

202cm with main weakness being endurance which can be fixed . A big goal kicker and contested mark too as well as excellent ruck craft . Well ahead of what Peter Wright was at same age

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I don't think we need to draft to replace - particularly at pick 12. Doedee, Keath and probably Cheney could all be used to cover Lever (in that order as well). For Cameron, we will use Galluci & Milera. I'm also expecting us to be pleasantly surprised by Ben Davis this year.

What I would like to see is us draft a real quality mid. Someone with speed, endurance, skills and a tough edge. Do the Crouch's have any younger brothers ready I would be putting the emphasis on outside run though. If course if Fogarty is available you grab him. He is a beast and can play a variety of positions.

Outside of that I expect we might look to rookie someone like Dom Barry (a quick Cameron type) along with Jye Bolton from WA (midfield backup).

Our only real interest in this draft is pick 12 and rookie picks as the others will be used for Edwards and the upgrades of Keath & Greenwood.

If we get Fogarty and Edwards, that will set up our midfield really well. Next year we can hopefully then look at Lukosious/Rankine. Either of these would be superb!!

I don't necessarily think that Fogarty will be the best or second best player available at 12 - he's in the mix sure but there are others that have shown more that I'd draft first

Depends who is there , he's in a the mix . Need a good player at 39 ( Edwards later in my opinion ) Keath might need to stay on rookie list which is fine , there will be injuries

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Based on his highlights, looks a bit Tom Doedee - Good athleticism, agility and one on one. Kicking a little dubious

Good comparison but more advanced at same age - already dominated senior WAFL games taking intercept marks at will

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Like the look of Naughton and Higgins

 

[Thetrader15]

Andrew McPherson - Woodville/West Torrens

Rowie suggesting this too - oh well, who would be your 2nd option?

 

[Danger in Texas]

McPherson and Kreuger are the two SA's I'd be definitely considering if still there at pick 39. In fact, McPherson would probably be my favourite pick for that spot in general, together with Victorian Will Walker.

CCJ probably goes in between 12 and 39

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Krueger is exciting !!! He could end up the best SA kid eventually

But hugh risk also

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Let's not get too SA centric - it was a very poor year

 

[Danger in Texas]

Krueger is exciting !!! He could end up the best SA kid eventually

But hugh risk also

He's arguably one of the biggest high risk/high reward prospects I've seen in years

Could go anywhere between 25 and undrafted. I'd be happy if we took a punt at 39, though

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Unlikely unless he's talking Rookie Draft too?

He always over rates them - standard Bicks

 

[baldandbroke]

Bicks, if Fogarty doesn't make it to 12 ... who do you rank as the 2nd best South Aussie? Surely we take the best available, and ignore the home state at a pick this low? Does Bonar get a look in ... even with the knees?

Isn't Bonar tipped too go top 10?

 

[BunjiMac]

Imagine if Ben Simmons had taken up football instead of basketball.

 

[Big Gazoongas]

Buckenara reckons Fogarty is the best player in this years draft.

That really isn't helping things.
