List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Prospects

[hatescaptcha]

Tristan Xerri (201cm, 93kg KPF/Ruck, Western Jets)

Pretty interested in this bloke - sounds like he'd be a ripper to have on the list and develop.

How you seen him in the flesh? A bit of a beanpole at present but allot to work with.

[Wizard17]

Have seen some bits and pieces. Expect him to make VM. Has some nice mobility about him.

 

[JAMES_B_101]

Have heard Lloyd Meek has grown and filled out a fair bit. Will be one to follow as an overager.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Jordan Butts (195cm, 80kg KPP, Murray Bushrangers) - 31/12 B'day

 

[VitalDread]

Tom De Koning named Vice Captain of Dandenong Stingrays

 

[CaptainMurphy]

I feel Dogs will draft a tall forward with their first pick depending on the development of Tweedie, Youngy and NMM

I'm hoping for this, it seems the draft to do so

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Just as well we didn't draft/trade in a number of key forwards and rucks last year then!

Oh, wait.

Thanks for the list. Hunter Clark is one that I've heard good things about too.

Clark's my favourite so far

 

[Pugz89]

Have heard Lloyd Meek has grown and filled out a fair bit. Will be one to follow as an overager.

Very solid indeed.

I imagine that Mar Gattek would be part of our multicultural academy considering he is a GWV Rebel?

In which case from last year:

WARRNAMBOOL teenager Mar Gattek moved to Australia with his family from war-torn Sudan and then Egypt as a toddler. It didn’t take the sports-mad Gattek long to find a passion for Australian Rules football.

The newly-selected North Ballarat Rebel started playing in grade one at the encouragement of his St Joseph’s Primary School friends.

Gattek then graduated to junior club Emmanuel Hawks before joining Hampden league outfit South Warrnambool for his bottom-age under-14 season.

“I’d never seen a footy in my life so they just showed me what it was and it went from there,” the 16-year-old said of his introduction to the sport.

“At school, I was playing at lunchtime and recess and weekends sometimes and it caught on.

“Then I got invited to play for Hawks in Auskick there.”

South Warrnambool teenager Mar Gattek speaks about joining the TAC Cup system

Gattek, a creative half-forward-cum-wingman with clean hands, is now preparing for his TAC Cup debut season.

The Hawthorn supporter – one of six siblings – said he was humbled to make the Rebels’ roster as a bottom-aged player.

“It was pretty exciting. I was kind of surprised as well – I didn’t think I played that well in the (practice) games, but I reckon they thought that I was moving well and running to the right places,” he said.

“It’s satisfying enough that I made the team, but you have got to get a game as well, so you’ve got to work hard for that.”

Gattek said North Ballarat gave him the platform to achieve his childhood dream of making the AFL.

“It is a pathway to the AFL and it opens many doors into the industry,” he said.

“I am very excited to be in it and keen for this year.”

Gattek is one of four South Warrnambool players on the Rebels’ 2016 list.

The Emmanuel College student is also striving to make his senior debut for the Roosters under new coach Mat Buck this year.

“It is definitely one of my season goals,” he said.

“I will train hard and work hard for that as well – it won’t come easy.”

Looking back through last years draft thread to find if any of the next years group was talked about and see I was doing a mini Nostradamus in last years draft thread.

Would be interesting to see Joshua Begley or Patrick Lipinski makes it through to pick 50. So much scope for those two. Though it wouldn't surprise me if one or both of them suddenly popped up in the top 30

And shortly after that

Edit: I'm starting to get a feel that Lipinski is the sort of player that Dalrymple could surprise us with at Pick 26. So much like previous picks he has made (Macrae, Bonti, Williams).

Begley - Pick 31(so close)
Lipinski - Pick 28 (nailed the top 30 and the drafter )

Begley I really wanted, made a post about him at some point but can't be botherer finding it.

You've got a good knack for picking a bolter, did that same with Fiorini previously.

Highly-rated goalkicker Jaidyn Stephenson helped the Eastern Ranges record their first victory for 2017 when the TAC Cup season kicked off on Friday night at Rams Arena.

Stephenson (pictured) kicked four goals in the first term as the Ranges opened up a match-defining 25-point lead over the Calder Cannons by quarter time. The Cannons worked to within 13 points of Eastern during the second stanza but wasted several chances to put the pressure on their opponents in the third, managing only four behinds as the Ranges responded with three majors of their own.

While Stephenson finished with five goals, over-ager Jordan Lynch (two goals) and 2016 All Australian ruckman Sam Hayes were also influential as Eastern ran away to a 54-point win.

On Saturday, the Geelong Falcons posted their 11th straight opening-round win in defeating the GWV Rebels by 82 points at Simonds Stadium.

After an even first quarter, the Falcons exploded with 13 unanswered goals from late in the second term until early in the last to put the Rebels away. David Handley was the biggest star inside 50 for Geelong – booting six majors – while five other Falcons chipped in with two apiece.

Meanwhile, the Murray Bushrangers kept a streak of their own alive, winning a 23rd consecutive match against the Bendigo Pioneers by 51 points at Punt Road Oval.

The streak dates back to 2004 and was continued on Saturday thanks to Murray’s seven-goal-to-one final quarter, which ended Bendigo’s hopes after the Pioneers were within 12 points of the lead at the last change. The experience of over-agers Nick Richards (27 disposals) and Ben Paton (23) was crucial for the victors.

Also on Saturday, the Dandenong Stingrays held off a fast-finishing Gippsland Power outfit to record a 16-point win at Morwell Recreation Reserve.

Led by 30 disposals from AFL Academy midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke and four goals to Dylan Morris, the Stingrays built a 43-point lead by early in the third quarter. The Power wouldn’t be denied though, pushing their opponents until the final siren.

In the first leg of a Sunday double-header at Ikon Park, 2016 TAC Cup premiers the Sandringham Dragons started the new season as they ended the last, accounting for the Oakleigh Chargers by 55 points.

Bottom-age AFL Academy key-position player Max King was a colossus up forward for the victors – clunking four contested marks and booting four goals – while Andrew Brayshaw (25 disposals), Charlie Constable (24) and Alfie Jarnestrom (22) were Sandringham’s chief ball-winners.

Wrapping up Round 1 in the second leg of the double-header, the Northern Knights denied a gallant Western Jets outfit by 16 points in an entertaining contest.

After conceding the first five goals of the game, the Jets drew level by three-quarter time only for Knights captain and regular half-back Nick Coffield to go forward and bag three final-term majors (four for the game) to secure the win for his team.

 

[Wizard17]

Okay I'm claiming Coffield.

Let's keep all the Eltham boys together

 

[Wizard17]

 

[Wizard17]

Maybe we shoild draft Tom Campbell from the Pioneers for the confusion that would occur when Campbell was named twice on thursday night

Might be a tall defender to watch for you Dannnnnnnnnn.

 

[JAMES_B_101]

Noticed a Bailey Williams also playing TAC cup, hopefully we draft him and Tom Campbell.

 

[doggies ftw]

How'd West go?

The 2016 TAC Cup premiers have started the new season as they finished the last.

Having claimed their third flag in September and produced five of the first 11 picks at the 2016 NAB AFL Draft in November, the Sandringham Dragons began 2017 with a comprehensive 54-point victory over the Oakleigh Chargers at Ikon Park in Round 1.

During last year’s run to the premiership from fifth on the ladder after the home-and-away season, it was the work of talented midfielders such as Andrew McGrath (AFL Draft pick no.1 to Essendon), Tim Taranto (no.2 to GWS), Will Setterfield (no.5 to GWS), Oliver Florent (no.11 to Sydney) and Corey Lyons (no.71 to Brisbane) who drove the Dragons forward to success.

And on the evidence so far this year, it seems Sandringham has assembled a similarly broad range of on-ball threats.

The Chargers had more disposals and took more marks than the Dragons on Sunday, but the reigning premiers booted nine more goals than their opponents thanks to dominance in the contests.

Sandringham won the clearance count 40-28 on the back of eight players having three or more clearances. In fact, only five of 23 Dragons players didn’t record a clearance.

Pocket rockets Lucas Barrett and Lachlan Harris (pictured - four clearances each) led the way, while Andrew Brayshaw, Charlie Constable, Alfie Jarnestrom, Kai Owens, Will Walker and Sebastian Williams all recorded three.

Their work in winning the ball and driving it forward created opportunities for big men Max King (four contested marks, four goals), Isaac Morrisby (two goals) and Hayden McLean (one goal) to use their height to advantage and capitalise inside 50.

A midfield topped with star talent will take a team a long way – look at Geelong’s 2016 AFL preliminary-final campaign with Joel Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield leading the way.

But midfield depth underneath the top tier will invariably take a team further. Last year’s AFL premiers the Western Bulldogs and their army of quick, brave and skilful on-ballers are evidence of that.

Whether the Dragons have the top-end midfield talent they boasted in 2016 is still to be determined, but their depth of on-ballers has them off to an encouraging start in the premiership defence.



Round 1 keys to victory:

11: Murray Bushrangers over-ager Ben Patonwas a constant thorn in the side of the Bendigo Pioneers during his team’s 51-point victory in Round 1. The North Albury junior had a round-high 11 rebound-50s among his 23 disposals, which equated to him personally repelling almost a third of Bendigo’s 36 inside-50 entries for the match.

33: The boot of Jackson Ross (an Old Haileybury junior) was a big reason for theEastern Ranges recording a +33 advantage in inside-50s (62-29) in a 54-point triumph over the Calder Cannons. The athletic 192cm former elite tennis player unleashed 18 kicks against the Cannons, seven of which drove the Ranges inside 50 – a team high.

3: The tall timber of the Geelong Falcons stood strong in an 82-point win over the GWV Rebels.Adam Garner (194cm), Tom McCartin (192cm),Rick Read (192cm) and Jordon Reid (194cm) all took three or more contested marks against the Rebels, while 181cm David Handley (a Geelong West Giants junior) took three himself and also booted six goals.

Noticed a Bailey Williams also playing TAC cup, hopefully we draft him and Tom Campbell.

Or Dylan Morris so we still see D.Morris on team sheets after Dale retires.

There is also player named Tom Boyd who plays for the Bushrangers.

 

[JAMES_B_101]

Big game from Rayner, Lachy Fogarty also impressive. Stephenson had 4 of his 5 goals in the first quarter. Davies-Uniacke also had a big game. Some really impressive numbers around the TAC cup this week. Max King looking like a stand out bottom age player already at 201cm taking contested marks and kicking goals.

I think we will like Lachie Forgarty. Contested ball winning beasts that kick goals are worth rhere weight in gold.

There are a number of highly rated guys sub 180cm. My favourite at the moment is Crowden from Sturt. Fogarty has set the bar high for himself in round 1, and I believe we have a number of his type on the list already. Would have him on the list ahead of Honeychurch easily though.
