2017 Draft - Pick 30

[AreYouJason]

Bolton loves him.

Bolts might love him but not sure he's a pressing need

 

[true blue19]

Still confident we take O'Shea in the rookie draft, so like you said, we should be right in that area of the field.

We lack quality midfield depth and scoring options. Maybe 30 is early for Moore and Miers the more I think about it.

Despite their kicking issues I'd actually look at Worpel and then Petruccelle if they last. Heck, we've tolerated Kerridge in the midfield long enough and Worpel is much tidier than him and has leadership credentials. Petruccelle would be a big judgement call, his highlights are amazing but a lot of work has to be put in and maybe pick 30 should be a bit safer.

Lachy Fogarty is a long shot but he's the ideal pick 30

I’m a O’Shea fan and I’m surprised he isn’t on an AFL list but I can’t see what he would add to our list. I would rather use our rookie spot to find a defensive small forward or a developing ruckman.

Penrith should be this guy.

Went back and looked at some footage of Matty Ling, reminds me a lot of our own David Cuningham. Another good possible option at 30.

Still have a need for him.

FB: Plowman, Jones, Weitering
HB: Docherty, Marchbank, Simpson
C: SPS, Murphy, Cuningham
HF: Lang, CCurnow, Pickett
FF: Wright, McKay, Silvagni
R: Kreuzer, Cripps, Kennedy
IC: Williamson, Byrne, Fisher, ECurnow

Depth:

FB: O'SHEA, Rowe, JGM
HB: Macreadie, ASOS, Mullett
C: Polson, ?????, ?????
HF: Thomas, Casboult, Lamb
FF: Phillips, Kerr, LeBois
R: Lobbe, Kerridge, Graham
IC: ?????, ?????, ?????, ?????

It's not the most pressing need but we obviously rate having a settled defense at both AFL and VFL levels.

Football Gods have mercy on our midfield depth.

 

[PrinceCharles]

How do you know the bolt loves him ?
Doesn’t Bolton live everyone ?
Well his pressers come that way which I know would be different but still

That's what our VC seems to think anyway.

He can do this from the vfl list. Would rather play asos and hm up

You mean the one we traded away?

 

[PrinceCharles]

Shit we traded Simmo!?

 

[thylacine60]

post to be moved out of context because mods - imagine if I told you 2 years ago 2 of our more important backmen would be asos and jones?

 

[Jimmae]

Shit we traded Simmo!?

Touche; when did Gibbs lose the vice-captaincy post?

edit: two years ago

 

[HBF]

You'd have to look at it. Needs and best available.

Very surprised if he slides that far.

I can't see him falling that far. Late first round is as far as he gets imo.

 

[HBF]

Has missed training sessions with Subi I’m lead to believe. No questions over his talent.

If this is true then it should be a huge red flag. Draft picks are too important to take these types.

 

[HBF]

I reckon if taken Worpel turns into another Matt Crouch, who also had slightly suspect kicking when first drafted.

I raised this exact point not that long ago. Whoever takes him could end up with a ripper.

 

[zeeCFC]

Matt Crouch was much much more dominant in the midfield though. Would be interesting to see who has the crazy clearance numbers that Crouch and Crippa had.

 

[ClaudeClavi]

Surely we cop Zac Bailey if he lasts to 30. Gonna be a jet, calling it now. If not him, like the look of Petrucelle or L.Fogarty.

 

[DirkDiggler]

Has anyone watched Matthew Ling play up close. His highlights package really impress me more than other candidates in the 2nd round range. Has he been played in the midfield?

 

[LanceRomance]

Rayner would be a steal at pick 30

 

[DirkDiggler]

Rayner would be a steal at pick 30

How did you come to that conclusion?

 

[true blue19]

Still have a need for him.

We have 8 tall defenders on our list already. He is how I would rank them. can you tell were O’Shea fits or what he brings to the team that we lack (your depth team has 5 talls and very little run)

Weitering
Marchbank
Plowman
Jones
Macreadie
Rowe
ASOS
JGM (developing)

He plays third tall and rebounding half back. Similar to Plow.

It's literally one rookie spot of what looks likely to be 3 rookie selections.

 

[Monkey King]

I’d be happy with Charlie Spargo here. He’s got a very neat little kick on him, even if lacking in penetration, has some pace and knows how to find the goals. And we surely need a young goal sneak on the list. Also, like Eddie Betts, he has one of those names where you just wanna say his full name all the time.

He moves really well inside the stoppage and is great by hand, but his kicking gives me anxiety. I know he's been working on it but nothing I've seen from him has thrilled me from that perspective.

He's not a tall defender though?

Has there ever been a thread on this? Players who always get mentioned by commentators by their full names? Easton Wood and Digby Morrell spring to mind
