List Mgmt. 2017 Draft Prospects

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

No idea about draft ranges etc, but just based on what I've seen:

9 - Coffield/Stephenson
11 - Brayshaw/Bailey/O'Brien
26 - Murphy/Stoddart/Petruccelle

 

[Wizard17]

Big boy Miller sells some candy

 

[Gollo]

Not keen on Garner. Barely seen him.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Can someone give me a rundown of Hugh Dixon? I am really impressed but haven't heard his name before today.

26 - Murphy/Stoddart/Petruccelle

Can't see Petruccelle making it in an AFL environment. He's got pace, that's just about it. Not convinced on his contested ball-winning and his field kicking is really questionable. I'm just about certain that Stephenson goes top 5 now, disappointed about that. Stoddart, Dixon and Miers my favourites for 26 currently.

 

[Wizard17]

Meek doing really well to rove his own ruckwork so often.

Was that Dixon with that goal assist again?

Big 195cm KPF, genuine contested marking ability and has been performing strongly in the TFL since the Champs. Showed good signs in the Champs, especially in the Allies vs Metro game where his highlights are on YT. Defensive efforts and ability at ground level is exceptional for a bloke of his size.

 

[Gollo]

Lachie Fogarty just has to be on the cards if he lasts to 26. Great skills, contested ball-winning ability, versatility and defensive efforts elite. He's too talented and driven to slide any further.

Think I've counted 4 goal assists thus far from him

Yeah I've only really seen Petruccelle today and he's been decent; don't know much more about him.

Had forgotten about Miers - wouldn't mind him at 26 either. Draft looks fine for the top 30 or so.

 

[Wizard17]

Dixon playing FB now??

 

[Gollo]

Starcevich really, really impressive. Really clean and lively for a predominantly inside mid. Reckon he could be a steal at 39.

 

[goodcop badcop]

Dixon playing FB now??

Yep and he's going well there. I've only seen bits of the 2nd and watched the 3rd qtr. He's been very impressive.

 

[Gollo]

I refuse to believe that Zac Bailey is lighter than 70kg. He is built and has no issues breaking through packs and winning contested ball. Really starting to like him as an option if we get pick 11.

Hugh Dixon uber-impressive. His vision is rare for a KPP.

 

[Wizard17]

Was equally impressive up forward. Had about 4 goal assists in the first half.

Wouldn't mind him at 26

 

[Dav1d]

Damn it
How do I get the stream to work?
:/

 

[JAMES_B_101]

Balta ground speed, point of difference

 

[Dav1d]

Well I only caught that last quarter but Bonar looked a lot more impressive than the last few games I've seen him in.

 

[Gollo]

Guys who caught my eye:

1 - Dylan Moore
2 - Lachie Fogarty
8 - Andrew Brayshaw
22 - Hunter Clark
26 - Nick Coffield
27 - Oscar Allen
30 - Noah Balta

5 - Zac Bailey
6 - Ryley Stoddart
22 - Brandon Starcevich
23 - Jaidyn Stephenson
27 - Aiden Bonar
32 - Hugh Dixon

O'Brien doesn't really impress me. He wins a bit of the ball and has a good left boot, but doesn't impact at the contest and doesn't have consistent production. Brander was okay - love his athleticism but his efficiency and production are quite lacking. Not yet convinced by Davies-Uniacke - needs to hit the scoreboard more as a forward and needs to win more contested ball as a midfielder. He has some elite traits but it yet to put it all together.

I can see Stoddart becoming a really valuable player at AFL level. One of the cleanest in the pool with natural athleticism - production has been solid all year and was good as a man defender in the Champs. Zac Bailey is a king - his energy at the contest is electric and has elite agility and speed in tight situations. Dixon has the all-round capacity to succeed as a modern KPF - contested marking, defensive efforts, vision and ground work. His production is strong. Starcevich can be a steal from the 4th round onwards. Stephenson will go top 5, there's no way he'll last to pick 9. Fogarty is a footballer's footballer and has all attributes necessary to become a very high-level player. Dylan Moore is such a strong and consistent contested ball winner that he deserves to be picked up, but he has genuine versatility and should be able to contribute as a small forward early in his AFL career. Brayshaw is just reliable, inside/outside balance is excellent and provides strong output defensively and offensively. Deserves to go first round. Coffield has strong production and size to go with his two elite traits: kicking and speed. In my opinion, this will just about guarantee him success at the highest level. One of the highest potential players in the pool.

 

[Wizard17]

If we get Dixon at 26 I'll be happy. Has the skills, cleanness and footy smarts to play both ends to a good standard.

Zac Bailey showed why I love the bloke. His burst speed and willingness to run and carry are very good.

Oscar Allen very impressive in that CHF role. Reminds me a bit of Crameri.

Liked Starcevich and Stoddart.

Also Meek's work in the ruck to follow up his own work was impressive especially in the first half. He is a big boy and really looks like giving 100% in every contest he is in which is nice to see. Wouldn't mind as a rookie.

 

[Dav1d]

If we pick Starcevich

I claimed him :O

 

[Wizard17]

Oh and stay well away from Jarrod Brander. He does not impress me one bit.

Also watch us draft Brett Daniels so that MD loses it.

Thoughts on Richards game? Is the second game streaming to?

Thoughts on Richards game? Is the second game streaming to?

The other game was yesterday and I don't think they streamed it.

Richards had a pretty poor game today. Got beaten a fair bit one on one and missed a few handball targets he should have hit. Still showed a lot of signs that he could become a good player given enough time.

Paton played well.

Yeah
I wasn't convinced Richards will be a clear first round selection but definitely not someone I'd be unhappy with at our second.

I need to go back & watch the full game if the AFL put it up. Didn't realize I could sign up for an AFL Live Pass using my Telstra account. Would have done it sooner had I known, hoping they don't abolish it next season..
