Game Day 2017 National Draft

[legendstatus]

This is just a case of leading up to the draft and media needing to write something different week to week, we then take it as gospel and talk a player up or down .

Believes we are favouring Fogarty at this stage.

If Moore is too play back, Fogarty would be the go.

If Moore is too play back, Fogarty would be the go.

I don't think that would matter. Moore and Fogarty can exist in the same forward line. Fogarty is a good height compliment actually. But in any case can't see Fogarty playing much next year going off his fitness tests and injury history. And I can't see Moore back as being anything but temporary.

That'll make Apex36 happy.

Damn right it will!

Giddy up.

 

[Hardas]

I'm with you.
Think he could end up being a real difference maker.

Didn't Fogarty run (approxmiately) 7:00 2km trial? That's not bad for a first year player who's been injured most of the year.

I can see him playing a lot tbh. His injury history is relatively minor. A meniscus tear that he played through for much of the year. That’s been fixed surgically so he should be right to go for preseason after he’s drafted. His 2km TT would have obviously been affected by the fact he’s been rehabbing from said surgery too, so you’d expect that 7.30~ time to be significantly better after a full preseason.

Much like JDG, I’d expect Fogarty to be able to slot right in as that medium/3rd tall forward very early in the piece, especially if JDG is moved to a more permanent midfield role as we’re all expecting.

I do agree that Moore won’t be playing back permanently, and I think Fog would be the perfect type to compliment him.

7:38 or something I think. Not great, but much better than Rayner who barely cracked 8:00.

Why’ll l agree, the club has the options at 6 to disagree with us. What we do with Reid and Moore could very well shape who we pick at 6, especially Reid’s long term future position. If he has one.

Reid has no long term future. He’s pushing 30 now and has a terrible injury history. Regardless of what we do with he and Moore, we need to take at least 1 tall forward and 1 key defender this draft. Whilst Naughton might be a ready to go option, I think we’ll be better served long term by taking Fogarty and grabbing someone like a Taylor or Petty (or Balta? ) at 38.

Again l totally agree. To me the first name Hine reads out could have long term implications for Darcy.
To me Darcy is a chf and that’s were l want to see him play. But he has also shown, admittedly a glimpse that he could hold down chb, and that could play into the clubs thinking.
Hopefully l am over reading it.

Darcy will be happy if Darcy is read out first, as will Darcy himself.

Haven't heard any rumours about Hams lately.

Heard a whisper we may be looking at this guy.



Here2tellyouwhy can you confirm?

I thought Dean Cox had retired!

What is Fogarty’s best position ?

 

[BEEG]

What is Fogarty’s best position ?

Probably forward, could play multiple positions.

 

[nahnah]

Probably forward, could play multiple positions.

I’ve heard key forward, inside mid and key defender.. hard to grasp what type of player we would be getting exactly

 

[Soups]

What is Fogarty’s best position ?

I think he looked best this year when he went into defence.

 

[BEEG]

Hopefully not one of those blokes that are decent in any position but not great.

 

[cityslick1]

Yes. We will now pick Higgins and it will be a fantastic selection.

Its been long proven that you don't necessary need height and size to play this game - see Brent Harvey, Caleb Daniel etc

Higgins was the best TAC footballer last year. No. 1 ranked for champion data so from a moneyball/stats point of view, he really should be our pick, if he is available at pick 6.

Says his favourite app is tinder... so my guess is we won't be selecting him at 6.

 

[cityslick1]

What is going on with Balta.
A few months ago he was being talked about as a possible top 10, since then he just keeps sliding and sliding and sliding.

Character traits imo. Mates with John Barnes and prob a similar personality...

 

[ArielZ]

Not caring about footy off the field is no problem imo. The ability to switch off and concentrate on other things rather than footy 24/7 is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Swan was exactly the same and I’m pretty sure the reigning Brownlow medallist is too, although I’m not sure Balta is the same type of partier they are (let’s face it he probably is/will be )

Heard Darcy Moore say in an interview that he doesn’t watch any footy on TV. Goes alright as a player though
