List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Prospects

[Dry Rot]

Brander giving me serious Jaksch vibes. He has really yet to have a really outstanding game in my opinion and that is dangerous when looking at a KPP that early. I can easily see him flopping and flopping hard.

Do you prefer Balta to him?

 

[Dry Rot]

190cm+ and no, a tall forward that has shown promising glimpses of his talent. A good kick, massive body for his age and very fast. Very good at putting on pressure acts and can take a mark.

Can you see him really slipping down the last due to his knees? Second round?

That is a really tough question, unfortunately I don't have a good enough answer to give you. Apologies.

I don't see Brander going that high, and I'd be disappointed with Constable. I'd rather Clark, Murphy or Bonar. Here's mine:

Brisbane - Luke Davies-Uniacke
Gold Coast - Andrew Brayshaw
Carlton - Cameron Rayner
North Melbourne - Jaidyn Stephenson
Fremantle - Paddy Dow
Collingwood - Nick Coffield
St Kilda - Adam Cerra
St Kilda - Aiden Bonar
WB - Hunter Clark
Adelaide - Jack Higgins
WB - Nathan Murphy

I'd be happy with Allen at 11 though. I also suspect Brisbane get pick 2 for Rockliff.

The first 7 names you've got there would be the same as mine, just in a different order.

I'd be ok if we got that, not a big fan of Clark though. I can see us taking one of Brander or Fogarty especially if we have picks 9 & 11.

Not that you can read a lot into it, Brander was on trade radio yesterday and he said we've spoken to him. He mentioned something about Beveridge, but didn't quite hear exactly what he said.

Thanks.

Presume you wouldn't pull the trigger on Balta at pick #9?

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Would it be worth selling 9 and 11 for something lower? Sounds like it could be worth it to get someone like Dow, Cerra or Stephenson.

 

[Dav1d]

Thanks.

I would definitely think about it longer than most of the other posters in here

Guess it depends if Brayshaw or Coffield are there and what plans for the future picks were.

I prefer Naughton over both to be honest.

Interesting. Would you take Naughton at #9?

Not our most pressing, I suppose.

I like the risk and mystery of Bonar.

Naughton at 9 is possible. I have quite a few scenarios for what could happen.

Bonar also a possibility IF we think we can deal with another player on our list with knee problems. Really for pick 9 there are so many players I wouldn't be disapointed with it isn't funny. Really even year past the top 5-6.

I would be more than a little confused if we took Jack Higgins at 9 though.

Yeah but in the past thinking about a certain pick in the top 10 you'd think about 4 or maybe 5 players this year it is nearly double that for pick 9...

Damn good mark, endurance and aggression for a youngster. Wish he kicked a bit more accurately at goal but he kicks it fine in general play. Reminds me at times of Taylor Walker (nevermind his GF performance). Has a high leap which makes up for his height, but he can hopefully still grow a little bit.

guessing worked his way to a first round contention?

Would be hugely surprised if he was at our second.

He kept going up and down during the year due to other players rising and declining but now with the games and combine all wrapped up, I would say so.

he reminds me a bit of ben brown in terms of marking more than text (but extremely limited footage)

Just found this article on him - sounds great! Bar the WA factor

Wish there was a bit of footage of Kyron Hayden somewhere.

His team mates call him "the package" which could be a bit
awkward and need changing. Peter Sumich coached him
and was very impressed with aspects of his game that
translate to an AFL career. Clear top pick for me this year,
saying that i had Tim English in the early twenties to
Brisbane last year their last pick so it's unlikely.

In one package
Out another

We could get a sponsorship from Australia Post

Kyron Hayden has some serious leg muscles, only still photos
could not find any moving pictures.

Well he did beat Nic Nats running VJ record at the combine and finished second in the standing VJ so it is obvious he has some power.

I like the way a few right ups from WAFL colts have described his attack on the footy. I like player who don't take backwards steps. They tend to show up a lot more in finals.

A while ago I read somewhere that the Pies like to draft young guys who show a lot in finals.

Good theory, but the only problem is that the Pies haven't been able to test these recruits in AFL finals for many years.
