List Mgmt. 2017 draft thread

[Frustrated Tiger]

If we get brander, balta, allen and naish we could be set for years. In 2022 we could look like:

Short Garthwaite Broad
Vlastuin Balta Naish
Markov Martin Menedue
Bolton Brander Stengle
Rioli Allen Costagna
Nankervis Graham Prestia
Townsend Ellis McIntosh Butler
Soldo Moore Ellis

That’s not even including 2018,19,20 and 21 draft picks

No Lynch????

 

[Madtiger2006]

No Lynch????

Might not need him

 

[HumanMeatball]

Had a dream we drafted balta, and 2 other blokes I can’t recall while getting naish with a bid at pick 27.

Are academy nominations at a later date to f/s

He looks very tasty. Not super evasive, but strong, fast and skilled. Hope he slips

No, same process, same time.

The Academy and F/S are effectively now the same process - for bidding etc.

AFL will probably change it next year though

Interesting we haven't nominated smith , thought we might

Add MRjr into that side somewhere

Think we did before the year began as you do with all Nga academy players

 

[Bojangles17]

Agh , they automatically listed you reckon , I see

Hawthorn had to nominate their Academy player before Tuesday. Maybe we didn't nominate to hide our interest.

Hi guys...Sorry to intrude.
We've just completed a PT over on the West Coast board, I was selecting for the Tigers.
I made the controversial move of passing on Naish which I know most people wouldn't do but I'm just not much of a fan of his. (It did allow me to get Ballard and Dixon instead)
I really tried to draft the best available with the most potential while filling some list requirements.

Just as a disclaimer, I haven't seen any non WAFL players live, all judgements are taken off watching as many videos as I could find on each player.
Be gentle, I tried my best

Was pretty impressed with Charlie Ballard (youtube), 195cm half forward/wingman... sound like someone else we know and love...
Anyone know a bit about him.

Love how a 23-year-old state leaguer from the third-best state league is easily an upgrade on two AFL premiership players, one of whom won the B&F of the best state league.

Other than that and beside the fact you're wrong on Naish (both his talent and that we'll take him), good job. I like Ballard.

 

[HeadandShin]

If we by some stroke of luck (if we have not used it all in 2017 already) We end up with no bids on Naish until after #25 and take
3 of the following Balta,Allen,Bonar,Brander,Richards,Naughton - We truly have been kissed on the D***

we have 37 years of karma coming our way. While 2017 used up a fair bit of luck, We need to save a bit of luck to complete our 4peat (I'm not greedy like KB).

so I expect we will get 3 plus Naish inside 30 with no downgrade in 2018.
If it doesn't happen I blame Broad....and the curse of the T#ts .....Again!!!

Interesting choices but can't see us passing on Naish at 21 and also bidding on Ballenden (Pretty sure there is a gentleman's agreement not to bid on each other's players) as part of the swap of draft picks,

Also we can only pick 5 players in the draft at this stage, unless we delist another player.

he'd be my best.

 

[Wrenny]

Would love Brander @17, Balta @20 & Hayes @25 and then match Naish at either 26/27. Bishop any chance?

Possibly. Though I reckon Naish gets bid on either at 16 or (most likely) between 20-25.

A few of thoughts:

1. A lot of Sandgropers, four! I get your perspective is different to Victorians, which isn't necessarily a bad thing by the way.

2. I like the Oscar pick, especially with Balter and Brander already taken, although he would have to play forward to make sense.

3. The Kelly pick is interesting, but for me McIntosh and Townsend are different players. McIntosh is a wingman who uses his height and endurance to get outside ball, Townsend is a hard-nosed medium forward who uses uses height, intensity and athleticism to get goals. As a wingman and medium forward, they're a bit different. I rate Townsend fairly highly and like what I've seen as he has the ability to create matchup issues, and I'm not sure Kelly has that ability.

3. Ballard is interesting, my question is does he ever play KPP?

4. Naish will be picked by Richmond. I understand why some people may be unsold on Naish, he has no inside game and most teams don't play many guys who are purely outside. Nevertheless, he has weapons relevant to making it as a wingman, including breakaway speed and good kicking skills. I feel like he could be the guy to take over McIntosh's role as even though Kamdyn is taller, he doesn't really take many marks anyway, and Naish has better speed and kicking skills. I'd be fairly comfortable taking him at 25. Endurance may be an issue, McIntosh's endurance is great, but I don't know about Naish's endurance

5. I don't like the Dixon pick, mainly because if you're a KPF that's been passed over 54 times, history tells us you wont make it. Clubs still very much rate KPFs as good ones are hard to find and height is one of the easiest tools to kick goals with, as you can just bomb it to a gun forward and they'll do the rest; they don't require precision going forward. You can close down space on the turf but it's hard to do that in the air. So I'm getting red flags if he's not being rated in the top 20 or, being generous, 30. The only way you do that is if you think somehow every other club is wrong (unlikely) or if some guy is a headcase or has been incredibly injured. I'd prefer to pick midfielders as there's always a lot of midfielders in a draft and one is bound to fall which you can work on. Midfielders are more fixable than KPFs, as junior midfielders are often overweight, played in the wrong position, haven't been given proper training, need to work on endurance etc. Whereas with KPFs, they either either have it at 18 years of age or don't, even though they take longer to come on.

6. Not sure about Ryan, he's 23 years old and is undersized, and I'd prefer to keep Townsend. If Richmond keeps their 50s picks I'd rather have a crack at a junior. I feel like mature aged state leaguers can be found in the rookie draft a la Lambert.

7. Jones makes a lot of sense, would be cheap and is a nice height. Again though, a project ruck can generally be found in the rookie draft, but I'm splitting hairs.

That said, I reckon this feels like a draft Richmond will get, even though I doubt Richmond will pick these guys specifically. Wont get our first preference, will get some weird picks, and some that some will say could have been picked later.

I wonder if he is related to our VFL Ballard.

Whilst i was really wanting the bid on Naish to come after our 3 picks 17-25 But now im really not too fussed and can see a few really nice types that may slip to the 50's range of picks.

Jackson Edwards would be rubbing salt into Adelaide's wounds - But id love it as they have limited list space and would only be able to accommodate him as a rookie from what some here have posted.

Think you’ve done well for sure. Think you may be wrong on naish though. Think he is a talent. Seems to have time with the footy, doesn’t panic and has the confidence to take the game on. I think anywhere from 20 to 30 for him is a good get and considering our discount, really is a no brainer.
But good job!
