List Mgmt. 2017 Draft - Pick 10 - Poll Added

[Stefchook]

Been watching the championship games again, and Darcy Fogarty was awful. I'm sure he must have elite talent, since those best placed to know say so. Must have some very impressive form at under 16-17 level for us to be considering him.

The more i watch of Lochie O'Brien the more i like him and think he should be high on our list for pick 10.
Elite kick of the footy. Him and Willo on the wings would be deadly.

 

[ClaudeClavi]

If we got Dow and Fogarty I'd cry of happiness. I guess there is a bit of bust potential with Fogarty, but he also has huge upside. He's a big boy with an elite kick. O'Brien is also someone I'd like at #10. Him and Dow have chem, they went to school together. Best kick in the draft and already has a big tank.

Reading his bio, he sounds like Nick Dal Santo. Is that a good comparison?

Think thats actually a decent comparison. Gaff is another one.
Great tank, quick (national 400m runner), runs all day both ways and has an exceptional kick. All class.
Was rated a clear top 10 at the start of the year, been battling injuries all year so hasnt had the best year.

 

[SurreyBlue]

I think that is a perfect comparison except O'Brien seems to have even more of a stab in his kicking then Dal. Just can't change my mind that I like this kid at this pick.

 

[TGR]

If you project our cake forward to 2019, what ingredients do we need to allow us to invest in some icing?

We still need more natural ball winners.

 

[HBF]

You forgot pick 10 if pick 10 ends up being a good player the trade could end up being a massive win long term

I was talking about next year. I see losing Gibbs as some short term pain for big long term gain.

 

[HalAlaric]

I would Higgins or O'Brien at #10. I understand both are extremely different players so here is some quick thoughts of mine on each.

Jack Higgins - A small forward/midfielder who consistently finds his own ball, has good endurence and possesses elite footy IQ and goal nous. He averaged 25 disposals and kicked 29 goals in 13 games in the TAC Cup, winning him the Morrish Medal. Also scoring a bag of 7 goals in a game against the Pioneers. The only real knock on him is at his height of 178cm and whether he can translate these levels of performance in AFL. For such a outstanding prospect I think the reward far outweighs the risk and could well be gone before our pick 10.

Lockie O'Brien - One of the highest regarded players coming into the 2017 season, this outside midfielder/half back flanker possesses good speed, damaging disposal from his left boot and an exceptional work rate. His excellent endurance and work rate mean he is a strong two-way runner and this allows him to dictate play and create from deep in defence as well as in attack. Unfortunately his draft stocks have plummeted due to an injury interrupted year. Like higgins I believe his calibre should put him in the mix for our #10.

[King Cripps]

If Hunter Clark is available at 10 we must pull the trigger absolute gun.

I think Kennedy alone will make the trade a win in the long term.

Kid is a jet. He is primed to step up in his 3rd year with more responsibility after a solid 16 games for a preliminary finals team.

 

[Pafloyul]

People have to remember that we had a 19 year old Weitering, Rowe and Plowman and had just picked up 20 year old Marchbank in a trade prior to drafting Macreadie. We then grabbed ASOS for depth.

Liam Jones hadn't even moved back yet. So Macreadie did fill a need when drafted.

Almost every player ever drafted "fills a need" to some degree because clubs are constantly trying to improve what they have. The only time that would change is when you have impeccable group of players in a certain area and you draft a player that you don't rate as particularly better than what you already have. The former tactic I fully justify whereas the latter is probably not a good idea.

 

[Toddski]

Watch the All Star game and tell me Aiden Bonar doesn't give you a Bonar.

If SOS pulls the trigger at 10 I'm stoked.

 

[Bic]

How many here would pick O'Brien over Clark?

Rayner at 3 and Clark at 10 would be the perfect draft.

 

[bluedabadee]

We still need more natural ball winners.

Tom Mitchell's IF ratings this year...8 8 7 7 8 6 7 8 10 7 7 7 8 9 8 9 8 8 8 7 9 7

Give me Higgins at 10

 

[Bongo Drum]

I like Hunter Clark at pick 10.

Interesting that both Twomey and bishop have heard the Blues being linked to Darcy Fogerty - curious to see if we pick him if still available at 10.

 

[Soapy V]

Losing Gibbs will hurt, but this has been offset a little by getting Kennedy and Lang. For mine I think we finish bottom 6.

Also gives names like Cuningham SPS Charlie Polson then Dow/Fogarty more time on the ball.

Can't see either going Top 10. Too many better prospects ahead of them

 

[Soapy V]

You would think that at least one of Clark Fogarty Brayshaw Stephenson Coffield Bonar will be available at 10. We will get a good one I'm sure

 

[BlackGoanna]

I want LDU at 3 and Clark at 10

I have LDU ranked at 1 and Clark at 5

I’m not adverse to taking Oscar Allen at 10 though. I have him ranked at pick 9

Carlton will not draft O'Brien if Dow is picked at 3.

#Bluemour

Not sure that is correct, given they are completely different types

Bit surprised Oscar Allen's not mentioned much. Probably not on CFC's radar but reckon he will be one to watch in the future.

Four months ago, I would have said LOB easily, Clark has closed the gap. Can have the occasional brain fade by foot, but generally very sound. Actually think he is better on his non-preferred left, has vice like hands and rarely fumble.

Guy is rarely caught either, and when he is, he always gets his hands free to dish off the ball.
