[Down at K Park]

Miers. Yes.

Super stoked with our picks. We have come out like bandits.

 

[Deep]

a fair few hyphenated names this year. 4 incoming next season so far

 

[Whiskers]

Miers. Yes.

Super stoked with our picks. We have come out like bandits.

It seems too good to be true. Makes me nervous as to why they are being over looked.
This is not Wells like.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I had Miers potentially pushing top 20 this year after his GF performance, to get him at 57 is a ******* dream.
Kid can play.
Think SJ/Chappy ability to snare a goal from nowhere....

 

[winty]

Eastern Ranges have had 8 players drafted so far. Wonder what the record is for the most players drafted from the one team in the same year.

Fogarty missed the combine testing due to illness, Kelly is "old", Copper probably doesn't win enough outside ball and Miers is a touch slow for a "modern" small forward.
They are all smart, natural footballers though who use it well and have good vision.

 

[you pick one]

Happy as a pig in poop.Well done Geelong.

Was compared to Milne as someone who will pester opposition by this Fox Footy commentary. I'd be glad if he ends up half as good as Milne was as a player.

Cheers mate
Copper haha ..... obvious nickname

 

[Hamingja]

My main wish was not going tall. Whether we have picked the right players or not time will tell but we have played high percentage with the player types which is what I think we needed to do. Kelly, Fogerty and Miers could all get a game next year. We needed some goal kicking options so competition will be on for spots with the draftees, Cockatoo, McCarthy and Gregson next year.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Tim Kelly
23 year old goal kicking ball magnet and good over head mark who averages 28 possessions a game
Also runner up in the Sandover = a steal


Charlie Constable 191cm agile midfielder with a ton of poise, who looks like he could quite easily play a Corey Enright type role across half back




Me likely likey

 

[Biggy_Boy]

You'd figure Gregson and McCarthy would be looking over their shoulders with that draft haul coming through.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I'm pretty happy with all our selections. I'd have hoped for a key position player but I can't complain given the selections. Kelly has the potential to play round 1 and Constable reminds me of a young Joel Corey.

 

[CatRiot]

We have not reached this year at all... Excellent selections so far in all honesty.

Its just a shame we missed out on a Key Defender this draft, someone like Petty, Taylor, Clavarino would've been good for the list.

Constable is a major slider, maybe its his pace and endurance as big question marks? Nonetheless, it was pick 35 and worth the pick, he looks like clearance machine, and will outmark his opponent most of the time, quality user of the ball.

Kelly is the best replacement for Motlop, so effectively we get GAJ and Kelly, for Motlop and Lang; this is a pretty good list change.

Miers was a steal, and a natural goal-kicker, he has his flaws (speed, attitude), but heck, he looks durable and seems like good value.

I think Fogarty is good value, you can't beat the small forwards that have midfield capability. He just looks like a class act.

So now our Small Forward line stocks look much better - Gregson, McCarthy, GAJ, Kelly, Fogarty, Miers, JJ, Parfitt. That's a lot of depth in this department, are we following the Tigers model next season?

Mid-size forward depth is Menzel, Parsons, Danger, Cockatoo, Black, Murdoch, Henry.

Why was Parsons not upgraded? Can he stay on the rookie list for a third season?

 

[darren forssman]

My first live AFL draft on fox and what happens right during Geelong's picks? The storm messes with the signal and it skips right past them.

 

[dazbroncos]

You'd figure Gregson and McCarthy would be looking over their shoulders with that draft haul coming through.

Id add Parsons to that list as well IMO...

A 3 can play when fit - but there is some players coming behind them...

It also given Sav and Buzza the focus and another 12 months to develop - which they clearly need.

GO Catters

 

[CatRiot]

Miers, Houlahan, Garner, Hayes, Ballenden, Murphy and Constable are the biggest sliders.

And we got two of them! No reaching!

 

[Larry Donohue]

That is about how exciting it gets. Did wells decide rankings work. Our future is back. Dont want to hear a negative jibe re drafting. Unbelievable picks.

 

[Larry Donohue]

And moore

 

[Lana]

They couldn't read out Miers' name any quicker.

Great draft, couldn't have hit the holes in our list any better.

 

[CatTricks]

Very, very happy.
And Constable and Miers sliding that far?
Delicious!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So happy Brad fell on the Hartung hand grenade so that we can't be tempted.

 

[GFrost]

Loved that little green "Bargain Buy" sign that popped up against our picks, followed by highlights packages.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

I was concerned about getting questionable talls or outside players who don't make it but I couldn't be happier with our picks. A few we missed that I liked but we only had so many picks and the players we got look very good basically all 4 of them are draft sliders are ranked much higher by rankings and other 'experts'. Picked best available at each pick and did very well. Still some quality players available that we could take as rookies instead of hayball or Crameri.

 

[thegerman]

So we'll grab two extra rookies?
