List Mgmt. 2017 Draft - Pick 10 - Poll Added

[Weiterbot23]

Is Stephenson condition similar to Josh Toys?

 

[Captain Cripps]

I call BS on these claims. 9 clubs? Who are they?

I agree
There is no way in this day and age that a club would let on who they’re going for, unless they want to try and decieve, which is fair too.
We had that a few years back and thank heavens it’s not like that anymore.

Upon reading Richards at 10 I thought it a pretty uninspired pick, I think it's mainly because I haven't really read or heard anything about the lad (being a Youtube recruiter and all).
To be fair his highlights look pretty good from the limited footage that I have seen, however I think there are better treats to be had at ten, would personally love it if Clarke slipped through, been saying it for a while but there is something about him, fingers crossed.

Feel the same...would’ve been happy to get him at 16 maybe if we kept that pick but at 10 it feels underwhelming. Rather a slider like Clarke or D.Fogarty, otherwise LOB, even Lachie Fogarty I wouldn’t mind going a bit earlier on.

There is more to it, I’ve done some research . Richards was on no ones radar 12 months ago but had a massive growth spurt. He came into the Oakleigh team at the start of this season and got injured in round 1. As a result missed the champs trial games. He had 33 possessions and starred in the APS rep game and was very good in the last 6 TAC cup games . Was picked in the all stars game and looked very good . Definitely a bolter but was a late developer so still has massive upside

Stephenson sliding and Clark bolting has really ruined my enthusiasm for this pick. Suddenly we're on the other side of a quality drop

Unless we pick up the slider I guess. His kicking is a weakness which had me wondering how he was rated so high based on pace and x factor in the first place but someone isn't going to buy into the heart issue.

Appreciate the feedback RBY. Like I mentioned I'm only going off my lack off knowledge and limited viewing of Youtube. His highlights did look nice but Clarke is my man, just don't see him being there at 10 any longer.

Saints want Coffield, and could go Bonar, so still a chance Clark is there at 10

Whispers that Clark is their preference and Bonar has been sliding of late in the phantoms

Yeah, unlikely but possible. Fingers crossed.

 

[Neadsy83]

The reality is that the predicted top 9 leaves us with a choice of Bonar, Stephenson LOB, Richards, Murphy, Allen, L-Fog & Higgins.

Bonar would be my choice but that club may not want to take the risk with his knee reco, likewise Stephenson with his heart.

So if we are craving elite disposal and speed then there are only two options, LOB & Richards. Richards has a better contested side to his game and once he builds a tank then he could be a gun mid, plus a HB which allows Doc to spend more time up the ground.

The last red head who bolted up to a pick 4 has turned out very well for the dees yeah?

 

[Captain Cripps]

Nice kick and decent speed are certainly in his bag of tricks.

Statistically, those clips showed his best games in the TAC Cup, but I’m just not seeing what he brings being worth pick 10 in this draft. If you were to say the centrepiece of us trading out Bryce Gibbs was that, I wouldn’t have done the trade.

Where abouts do you have him in your rankings? I can see why most power rankings I’ve seen have him in the early 20’s, as there is certainly something to work with there. Not worth reaching at pick 10 though IMO.

Has a very good sidestep tricking players since 1999

Are we that far out though, even with Stephenson out of the eqaut?

Those we probably won't see at #10, including our #3 pick: Dow, Cerra, LDU, Brayshaw, Coffield, Rayner = 6

Next possible group; Fogarty, Clark.....ummmm. Looks as though we need a Naughton and another 'bolter'
Nathan Murphy @ #10? I don't know.

 

[Jimmae]

Enquiring about the risk doesnt make him necessarily a slider.

It says that they are worried about complications, which means whatever treatment or surgery he's set to receive isn't a permanent fix.

 

[HARKER]

Do we think we'd steer clear of Bonar?
Too many question marks around him?

Had my heart set on one of Fogarty or Clark here. May be time to re-set?

Does Richards have a better contested game than LOB? According to AFL Draft Cental, LOB has just over 9 contested possessions per game, compared to 5.2 for Richards. Richards has a better contested possession %, but doesn’t find the ball like LOB does.

 

[Teagueeee15]

Brett Anderson tweeted if saints overlook Stephenson, then Sydney would be his next possible landing spot. This implies we have put a line through him.

Looks like it, probably why the LOB and Richards talk escalated

I'd say the stats are skewed by the fact Richards spent most of his time off half back.

LOB definitely accumulates better at this point and runs nearly a minute quicker over 2km.

 

[King Cripps]

Looks like Clark and Fogarty will be gone by our pick 10. I'm starting to warm to Bonar and thinking we shall take the risk on him if he is available

 

[King Cripps]

I call BS on these claims. 9 clubs? Who are they?

It's from a credible source all I know is we are one of those clubs that won't be drafting him

That’s my first thought as well. They must have had a pretty strong midfield at Oakleigh if Richards couldn’t force his way in there!

LOL yeah it was stacked! He just doesn't have the tank i guess, a 7:09 2km & 20.6 yo-yo is average at best. Let's see how it plays out, I don't think anything outside the top 3-4 would be set in stone.

Not really.
