2017 Draft rumours

[Carbine Chaos]

I was at all but 3 IIRC South games and he was abysmal for the vast majority of the season.

I'm not advocating spending much on him. A rookie spot, with him back in the system and a good frame of mind, all for it.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Can you elaborate on Cerra and his attitude? Have only heard good things about him as a person.

Like the look of Murphy, but if Stephenson is gone then one of LDU, Dow and Rayner remain and surely they'll snaffle one.

He's had 13 posts with a new profile since July that's linked a medium sized utility (ranked in the 10-20 mark) to north's pick 4, you're not getting to get anything worthwhile out of him.

Cerra reportedly kept checking his phone during an interview with North, was quite antisocial and seemed disinterested. Lack of eye contact was another sticking point too. It was enough to put North off, big time.

Fogarty’s family don’t even live in Adelaide, so I’d be shocked if clubs regarded him as an even slight flight risk.

Might not be a case of being a flight risk, but just how the cards fall.

Not sure who I'd prefer out of Bonar, Coffield and Fogarty, I think clubs will have the same dilemma. Could be the Jy Simpkin (albeit for different reasons) of 2017.

Probably did it on purpose.

Not sure if you're joking or not but that's what North suspect.

This one is a doozy, I was shocked after learning that GWS are massively into Hayden Mclean for one of their two picks inside the second round.

 

[HARKER]

Not sure if you're joking or not but that's what North suspect.

Trying to get to Richmonds first pick?

I don't know. That's an awfully dangerous and foolish game to play. Doesn't fit.

 

[yougobacha]

Anyone remember Jonty? Melbourne are considering him for one of their picks in the 30-50 range. Watch this space.

 

[year of the cat]

Not joking. If you want to put a club off taking you when you know you're a certainty to get drafted then acting like a disrespectful tool is a pretty effective way to go about it.

He's keen on Collingwood and the Saints apparently. Think the poor kid will be left with egg on his face either way.

A teenager not making eye contact doesn't necessarily spell attitude problem. We don't know his upbringing or other personal issues growing up that might cause a lack of eye contact.
However I did listening to his interview on sen this morning. He sounded like he was still half asleep. Surely knowing you have an radio interview at 7:15am means you prepare properly

If done to put off North he comes across as very unprofessional and entitled.

Could you really blame him?

He must have been nervous.

His mum is a north supporter and he's publicly stated it would be great if he ended up at North.

Plus 3 out of the other top 6 have stated that north is their preference.

Fingers crossed for him I guess.

Heard his interview this morning, he sounded quite articulate and confident. He has a gf and did say preference to stay home but would go anywhere (standard response). The GF is a red flag for interstate clubs.

I liked Brayshaw’s response when asked if he had a gf “...umm sorta, depends if I get drafted interstate or not”. Gold.

Great, they've proved they can run a good 2kmm, BUT how are they at getting and moving the footy around ?.

Running is just one aspect of footy.

Considering Garlett couldn’t get a kick in a street fight this year, have no idea what they’re thinking at the Eagles

Too young to be recruited by the Eagles ?.

So he is a standard gen-y basically?

Which three have stated this and who are the top 6?

I'll give the three a crack.

Stephenson is definitely one (at least his old man barracks for north), Dow was a North fan as a kid (he mentioned it as some point) and Cerra is the third.

In no order, close to my top six:
Brayshaw
LDU
Rayner
Dow
Cerra
Stephenson

The posters point was that 3 of the top 6 have 'stated' North as their preference.
Would love to hear where and when these guys stated this and in what context. i.e. interview, to friends, as fact or as a joke.

Some cultures forbid younger people to make eye contract with an elder eg Afganistan and Aboriginals as an act of respect.

Interview, fact, and all 6 did.

All 6 like North's list and want to work with Brad Scott. Dow was told during the interview that Josh Kelly has committed to North for 2020.

Brayshaw because his dad played for North

Stephenson because he trained with North in the pre-season and follows North now.

Cerra wants to make his mum happy and thinks North have a real shot to do a bulldogs/richmond this year.

Rayner wants to prove that he is better than dustin martin and that North were better off selecting him.

LDU is good friends with EVW and likes that hypens are treated as equals at North.

Dow's grandfather played for north.

Should he fall beyond the first two selections on draft night, there is little chance he slips further than Carlton’s Pick 3 or North Melbourne’s Pick 4.

For the mad Kangaroos fan, the chance of heading to Arden St is one he is still getting his head around.

“The thought of going to the club you support is pretty exciting,” Dow says.

“But anything can happen on draft night.”

Stephenson is one another poster has to find for me, but he did train at the club and there's a bomber's poster running here around saying that at least his dad is a big north fan. I personally don't think he has a major preference, he just wants to play at the top level.

Cerra:
The boy from Glen Waverley appears destined to become a 200-game player, linked to North Melbourne with selection No.4.

“I’ve spoken to most clubs in that range but they don’t give much away,” Cerra said.

“Every time someone asks me where I’m going, I’m in the same boat as them, I honestly don’t know but it would be awesome to go to North. Mum is a North supporter.”

None of the boys have done a naughton, but at least one will get the opportunity to play for a club they are at least fond of.
