List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Prospects

[goodcop badcop]

Yep he did.

Bro also played in the VFL flag for us a few years back.

And he's a dogs supporter

Lachie Forgarty would be excellent if he can last to our second. Pretty much ready made high skilled half forward. Will be a pretty good mid in time too.

I've changed my mind a bit with Fogarty cause he's had quite a consistent year at all levels and looked good at the champs coming off an injury. Think he's a little bit underrated cause he showed he's comfortable with set shots from 45m out and is a good ball winner. Pretty well rounded player, high tackle numbers and able to hit the scoreboard.

I'm glad you've mentioned Ross. Think he would be a good fit for us for sure. Been able to score a lot of goals this season and clearly that's something we need more of. Want more players that aren't afraid to shoot from 50 and finish on the run.

Like Porter as a prospect. Had some huge games this season and is a good contested mark as well which makes up for being on the shorter side. All for taking him 3rd round onwards.

Two players I'm keeping a close eye on at the moment are Ross and Bonar as they are two I think could go fairly early but haven't been spoken about a lot around here.

Seen very limited time of Bonar. But so has everyone, would help if his first knee surgery wasn't done by this guy

Dr Nick Riviera is the best he is, at what he does.

Bonar sounds like he has the goods. We do like a smokey.

If we plan to make mature age selections, Tom Goodwin from Coburg would be my ruckman choice
Really improved since entering the VFL and is likely in the VFL Team of the Year

Did I sum it up ok in the podcast?

**** I'd love Paddy Dow, he'd be perfect for us I reckon. No chance he lasts though.

I think I'd cringe if both Coffield and Dow are gone, I'd probably hope for Brander next.

I read today's paper and Gary Buckanarra speaks in article about the draft, I didn't see him have either in his top ten & his comparisons were a little odd.

Didn't seem to link us as to requiring any of those players either.

I reckon they both will be.

Buckenara is clueless these days. Those rankings were pretty bad. Every defender was compared to Brian Lake. And Adam Cerra like Dangerfield? Tom De Koning in the top 30?

I can see Oscar Allen moving into first round contention if his endurance is good as reported come the combine, think he had a better carnival performance than Griffin Logue.

Yeah..Cerra to Dangerfield, Dow is perhaps a closer comparison but I believe Dangerfield was a more dominant player at the same age

lol, I kinda think Buckenara ripped off Knightmares stuff actually...

I really like Allen, I'd be surprised if he's not first round.

How did Dangerfield last to 10?

Cale Morton, Jarrad Grant & David Myers going before him

Yuk

At least the next two picks turned out to be good players though, Ward & Wood.

 

[SCRAY72]

Plenty of draft news and analysis in the media, seems early this year.
Is it because there are so many non Vic teams dominating?
Amazing that 3 out of 4 Vic teams in the finals are Essendon, Richmond and Melbourne.

Just shocking. Dow way too low, as are Constable and Coffield. Naish and O'Brien are far too outside to be considered top 10 prospects. Late first-round at best. Jack Higgins at 4 is ridiculous (as is Fogarty and Rayner as 1 and 2 to me), and the comparison to Jeff Garlett makes zero sense. Cerra is a Pendlebury clone - how anyone can think he's more like Dangerfield than Pendlebury is beyond me. Tom De Koning will be lucky to get drafted, and Brent Daniels is nothing special (he's solid, but not top 30, and I haven't seen any shades of Caleb in him whatsoever).

My fav part was someone, can't remember who plays like: Jeff Garrett, Liam Picken. In what world are they similar players?!

[Wizard17]

Haha that was some wierd crap.

Does he even watch these players even a little? Comparisons are bizarre.

 

[Gollo]

Who plays nothing like either of them. At all.

I still think he ripped off Knightmare & just changed a few things not to be obvious.

Jaidyn Stephenson? Discuss.

Could potentially be available at our pick. Has the ability to be a match winner.

I really liked his game a few years back, played that Cam McCarthy type forward role and is now being used more as a midfielder.

Haven't seen much footage of this year though

 

[iambrilliant]

Does anyone have a rough top 10 ? Only starting to pay attention to the draft now need some highlight packages to watch !

I don't see him as a midfielder. Doesn't have the ability to win much contested ball, and I'm not certain it's something that will improve. It's not a dealbreaker, but if we see him as that I'd question whether we should be selecting him. I think he's an exceptional medium forward who would be a very difficult matchup for defenders with his vertical leap and general athleticism, but whether that's enough for a likely 8-12 pick isn't for me to decide. Personally, I think he's been too inconsistent this year for us to select him, and hasn't quite shown sustained capacity to compete as an impact outside mid, but could become a very good undersized marking forward. His end to the year will be very important to his draft ranking.
