2018 Draft thread

[Hollow Knight]

They should all work in a dog food factory for a year before entering the draft.

I'm starting to sound like my dad.

 

[M Malice]

My dad didn't mention any dog factory, his go to was "The army will make a man out of him."

Opt for the draft after you do your compulsory National Service?

Dangerfield just said on Fox he thinks Walsh is the next Joel Selwood and had him over Lukosius.

Finally found the time to do the average rankings for the start of July (yes on a Friday night, no I don't have a life). This time I've used Cal Twomey, Matt Balmer, Pie 4 Life, D_P_S, Knightmare, and Josh Poulter. The third column is the change from last month.

 

[M Malice]

Connor McFadyen is certainly making his way up the rankings.

Connor McFadyen is certainly making his way up the rankings.

He is, but to be fair he only makes it to =20 because Knightmare has him at 12 .... tends to be more around the 30 mark generally. So a bit of a statistical anomaly

 

[Nick Lions]

SA win the champs in a canter and majority of their top players drop in average rankings. Weird.

It will be an interesting choice if he's available at our second. The rise of McFayden makes it more complicated given he's a big bodied midfielder as well. Can't see him getting past any of our picks after our second.

If McFadyen is rated worthy of our 2nd rounder, may be just get berry junior at 2nd and match Mcfadyen wherever after that. would that work ?

My concern would be that they’re similar types of players.

My concern would be that they’re similar types of players.

Is that a big problem tho. Having 2 big-bodied midfielders to add to our future team would be great. Both have speed and can impact the scoreboard. Midfield is where we need to add more than KPP

 

[M Malice]

Berry Jnr has a key trait of being a burst from stoppage player with pace, one of McFadyen's weaknesses is said to be his lack of speed. IMO they would compliment each other nicely.

Wonder if our recruiters rate Berry jr as high as Lions BF does?

Unlikely. Getting a bit out of of hand IMO.

It's the Berry name that gets us all excited

 

[M Malice]

I quite like getting out of hand. It's refreshing.

 

[SizeMatters]

Berry likely to be around the 35-40ish mark IMO. Has some nice tools at his disposal but just doesn't have the runs on the board that you would want. However, from all accounts a dedicated individual and he does carry a name which would help him. Won't be surprised if he is taken 25-30 either.

Very unlikely [emoji3] Between jnr playing in defence not on the ball and now being out injured it makes it very difficult for anyone to get a true read on his development this year.
I wonder if we find a late 2nd round pick to go with our early 3rd pick (which I assume we still have, to hard to check on phone) to cover picking jnr and McFadyen

What do we do with pick 18 in 2019?

Trade it to some sucker for a pick in this draft

Probably match the bid North will make on Tom Wischnat.

 

[ManeMan]

Use it to bring in one of the A-graders keen to get on our list?

 

[RUNVS]

You guys are likely going to have pick 4 or 5 which means Walsh is out of contention

1. Carlton
2. Gold Coast
3. Gold Coast (Tom Lynch compensation)
4. St Kilda
5. Brisbane

If you keep playing like you are then you may even overtake the Bulldogs as you have a great percentage for a team that is in 16th.
