Dear is a bust, it would take a dramatic turnaround in his fortunes to be retained after next year, Croweater Charlie Ballard at 195cm might be another worth looking at with 39 if still available, played wing at the Championships but I've heard he's played half back really well at school level. Has a terrific blend of height, speed and skills but will take time as he's very light at this stage.
Can a guy drifted with pick #58 with a history of shoulder issues be called a "bust"?!
 
So Boekhorst has been delisted. Had a few good games to end the year from memory. Would he be worth wasting a rookie spot on or will he never be good enough for AFL level? Haven't really watched a lot of him...

I'll be highly surprised if Balta goes that high
So would I, but no-one considered Doedee as a pick 17, either

Now that's not a slight on Doedee, more saying that there can be a big difference between where some recruiters and the 'phantom experts' rate potential draftees

It's not a slight on Balta, either - he would definitely be not as much of a reach as Doedee was at the time
 
And if their not available at our picks?, btw I've been on the Andrew McPherson bandwagon for over 12 months, same with Lachlan Pascoe who looked a really good prospect until unfortunately doing his ACL earlier this year. I take it you're advocating taking McPherson with Pick 39 if available? If neither are available at our picks 12 & 39 I'm interested as to your fall back players would be??

Have you seen a bit of McPherson play for CBC or WWT

So..... at the end of the day, we are every chance of drafting two players at 12 & 39 we will be very chuffed with?
We do know that our recruiting team will be very surprised & elated both players were still available at our picks ;)
 
Then it had better be a KPD because Keath is our only back up in that area, some handy developing KPD prospects could be available around our Pick 39, Harrison Petty, Oscar Claravino and Sam Taylor 3 that come to mind unless we were looking at Aaron Naughton or Noah Balta with pick 12.

If Fogs, Bonar and Clark already gone, I'm happy with a Alta at 12.

Himmelberg slid from touted top 30 pick in the media to pick 51 last year - maybe we could get Petty at 39 yet? I'm hopeful
We can hope ......but i'd suggest, we maybe a few mtrs short of getting him
 
I think there are queries with all 3, clubs will overlook them in the top 10 imo
IMO for that to happen it'll require the two favored talls to be taken Top 10 ......or a late Bolter, like a Murphy ?? ......i can certainly see Bonar being available
 
I must say, we haven't had a top 10 pick in ages but having picks in the 10-20 range is really working for us. In the top 10 and in particular the top 5, you're almost forced to make a 'safe' pick. With picks after the top 10 you have a bit more leeway to take a punt.

Is that the same sharenberg who came runner up in the Glenelg B and F watching him this year he showed a bit more than Galluci pohlkoke signorelli and jarman

But hey he didn't nominate this year

LOL.

Your opinions might be repetitive, but your spelling isn't.
 
Hi all,

pardon the intrusion, hopefully this is the right place to put this!

Just giving a heads up that on Monday 6th of November at 7:30pm I will be chatting with 2 of the Co-founders of AFL Draft Central, Pie 4 life and Bishop (who post a bit on the drafts board here) to speak to them about the upcoming draft.

they will be giving their top 20 player rankings, a in depth review of 8 players (4 each) that have impressed them the most this year as well as a 1st round mock draft.

You will be able to listen to it live via our Spreaker link (which i will post in here on Monday) and you can even use the chat client to ask any specific questions about players you might be after etc.
 
So..... at the end of the day, we are every chance of drafting two players at 12 & 39 we will be very chuffed with?


who knows .... we may do a Doedee or K McGregor

(PS I'm not questioning their talent, merely addressing the "we will be very chuffed with" point)
