List Mgmt. 2017 Draft - Pick 10 - Poll Added

[thylacine60]

Bonar definitely seems like the hardest one there, although he has been described as being too stiff at times.

childish dick jokes now?

 

[SHOWEY]

Fogarty only because it would really stick a nail in Adelaide
But srsly whoever SOS chooses is fine by me
(As long as its a midfielder)

 

[Blue and Silver]

In the following order:

Coffield, Bonar, Brayshaw Clark, Constable, Higgins, Fogarty, Stephenson

No, we're far too mature for that stuff here.



Bonar. Stiffy. Sophisticated humour. Like.

 

[Kismet]

I think I blew it.

Any chance we'd be interested in Sam Hayes at pick 10 if he gets there?

Hayes was a powerhouse through the ruck but his play around the ground was equally impressive. Taking a commanding contested mark from a kick out, using his body effectively in the contest. He was clean at ground level and also involved in general play.

While Hayes did not receive the opportunity in this game, he is also a genuine threat when utilized as a key forward with his vice-like hands overhead and body-on-body strength making him very hard to defend.

With Hayes' dominance and advanced game it would be reasonable to compare him to a young Matthew Kreuzer. Hayes has the opportunity to follow in Kreuzer's footsteps to become a two time All-Australian Under-18 ruckman and will likely also feature in the first round of the draft at seasons end.

 

[Blubagger71]

Two minds for mine. Dow and Coffield/Bradshaw.
In SOS I trust!

 

[MacTosh]

Hayes is an awesome player. Do we trust the AFL not to screw the Ruck position up even more after they ban the bounce.

He’s one of those awkward Grundy/Minson types, all arms and legs.

Athletic enough and smart enough to get it out by hand, just hasn’t the body size yet.

 

[Gw2_James]

Well we have 4 Matthews, might aswell have 2 darcys...

 

[Blue Doormat]

Tempting because I wonder if he was foxing to lower his value and stay in SA. Crows sure to jump at 12. Having said that we could lose him in 2 years for not much if he struggles.

Adelaide can have him for 2 first rounders then

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

3 if we get Fogarty.

 

[Gw2_James]

3 if we get Fogarty.

Lang, Fogarty, who am i forgetting?

 

[rog1995]

Bonar easily if he's there

A guy that's had two acl injuries is too high a risk.

I feel like getting Lobbe has put paid to that idea. Kreuzer, Lobbe, Phillips, Casboult, McKay will carry us through for a while.

Vescio

Vescio

Good catch haha.

Reckon our tall stocks will be covered well enough in the next few years.

We should definitely go for a mid with pick #10.

Brayshaw wouldn't be a bad option, has speed, decent foot skills and loves to tackle.

Hopefully not in a million years.

Ruckmen have become the least important position on the ground. Furthermore, we just picked up a good solid one by trading pick 325 in the draft (or whatever), and once Kreuzer/Lobbe retire I'm sure we can do the same again. Key forwards are also declining in importance, in favour of more mobile targets. And this bloke doesn't seem to be a natural fit for either role.

What we want/need is depth in the midfield, and this draft seems to have good midfield prospects right through the top 30. Here's hoping we get something like:
pick 3: LDU/Rayner/Dow
pick 10: Coffield/Higgins/Brayshaw
pick 30: Moore/Petrucelle/Worpel

Add 3 young midfielders to a group already including Cripps/SPS/Fisher/Kennedy, and take another (Rankine!) in the top 10 next year, and we've got a midfield to build a team around.

 

[1981]

I've mentioned this a few times in other threads, I think when you boil it all down the WIN for us this trade period can be isolated to Gibbs for 10, Lang and Kennedy. Now Kennedy is a more sure bet than Lang, and is probably going to be a good player, so really to have a major win this trade period SOS has to win with pick 10, ie: he has to pick astutely with this pick.

Which raises the Question.. Does he take a risk with someone who might have more sexy upside like a Bonar or does he go a bit more conservative to reduce the chances of blowing the pick but still likely getting a good player (but maybe not a star).

He didn't have two injuries, he had two operations: the surgeon mucked up the first one.

Oooooo that just turned me off.

Red lights are flashing for me whenever the surgical procedure or healing process has gone wrong.

 

[Ratana]

Coffield won’t make it past Collingwood at 6

 

[Bag of Nuts]

Is Lachlan Fogarty likely to make it to 30? Probably pretty similar to Fisher but I rate him, every time I look at his stats in TAC cup he seems to have 10-15 tackles.

He is fine, it wasnt attached properly. Got better as the year went on, as ive said if we dont get him at 10 or pass on him, whoever does pick him will have a beauty. Midfield version of nicnat
