List Mgmt. 2019 Draft Prospects

[weltschmerz]

Probably nothing, but out of all the “class of 2019” draft profiles on the AFL site, only one had been posted on the Dogs site and it’s Gould’s.

 

[weltschmerz]

Road to the Draft ran a mock draft, with Kemp falling to us. If it happened I'd be rapt.

 

[theBigB]

1. Rowell (GC)
2. Anderson (GC)
3. Young (Mel)
4. Jackson (GWS)
5. Green (GWS)
6. Flanders (Syd)
7. Ash (Ade)
8. Serong (Fre)
9. Pickett (Mel)
10. Weightman (Car)
11. Robertson (Fre)
12. McAsey (Haw)
13. Stephens (Por)
14. [_______] (Bul)

Kemp, Bergman, Worrell available.

 

[weltschmerz]

Would take any of those three, but I think Kemp has the highest upside.

Liam Henry ? After Pickett and Weightman is just pure fantasy.

Maybe. There's still a lot to play out, and I suspect Fremantle will be very keen to ensure two picks get through before a Henry bid.

I always maintained the belief that Kemp could slip to our pick. I think the clubs with selections 8-12 will fancy themselves next year, and the prospect of selecting a player that will miss most of next year won't appeal to them.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

I'm thinking a good plan could be take who we want most at 13, hopefully someone like Kemp, but otherwise it feels like Bergman. And then if Pickett isn't taken after a certain point, say pick 20, which I feel is likely, start offering our 2020 1st for the current pick plus their 2020 2nd. As it goes on that becomes a better deal for them, hopefully Pickett lasts and someone bites at some point. The other threat for Pickett seems to be Melbourne, can't see them taking him at 8, and they might try to trade down but I'm not sure how likely that is. Past there, they don't have a 2020 1st to make this deal like us, so we're in with a chance at this.

Kemp's knee complicates things, if Green gets out to five Sydney bids GWS probably match though Jackson
is a better fit if still on the board for the Giants. Sydney either gets Green or if matched can take Kemp and
afford to bring him in slow with Kennedy in his twilight years.

In reality the AFL would like a mass of pick swaps just to spice it up , I thought they had a Tasmania
arranged promo last year, two Tasmanian's in the top ten, but I am a cynical man at times.

My mini phantom draft is taking into account a trade between Adelaide and GWS, which the AFL site is suggesting is on the cards. Assuming GWS's deficit does not affect their future pick traded to Adelaide, I expect Adelaide to accept, which paves the way for GWS to select both Jackson and match a bid on Green.

 

[Whoyagot]

I thought we'd miss Kemp even after we lost to Carlton and were looking a bottom 5 team this year. If he fell to us at 13 I'd be stoked. Clutch player who plays like a more explosive Bont. He could start playing either an intercepting defender or third tall forward. The knee is a massive issue but he has huge upside.

Could happen, Adelaide are too exposed in this draft for me. I would take five of the proposed top ten before
Green just cross out the mids.

His ties with the indigenous designs rock, he is my clear number one pick for the Bulldogs based on needs.

(Plus it would be nice if he could sling me a few ties for free.)

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Give me Pickett

Our team is stacked too so if he spends the year in rehab and doesn't debut there will be no pressure on him.

Kemp!!!! never thought he would fall past 10

I would never think Kemp would fall past 10, you have to take him for pure potential. You could put him anywhere in the park. Before the injury, I thought he would be top 5.

Here is a question, just say for some reason Both Kemp and McAsey fall to 13, which do you take???

This is the exact reason Sammy fought so hard to keep pick 13. Not sure who I’d pick as I don’t know enough about either. I have been impressed with the few interviews I’ve read and seen McAsey do and he loves our club so probably lean towards him but what a great position to be in if something like this eventuates...

It's still probably unlikely. I just personally believe it's possible because I think clubs in the 7-12 range will be more keen to select a player that can add to their team immediately, rather than playing the long game with a player who will miss most of next year with an ACL. I think this is especially the case for Melbourne and Carlton, who are desperate to make up ground next year. As for Hawthorn and Port Adelaide, I suspect they'll take McAsey and Stephens in no particular order.

I mean, that reason is kind of out the door if we select Pickett at 13...

 

[weltschmerz]

Think there's any chance Serong slides to us?

Bulldogs have just tweeted about Gould.

I think there could be something to this...

They're just promoting an article. The recruitment guys don't give any information to the twitter team...

 

[stefoid]

Kemp looks aware, composed, skilled and fairly athletic. Not as eXy as Picket or Bergman -- I shave a bit off his desirability due to our midfield depth -- but if he is unquestionably best available at our pick, so be it.

Id hate it if we passed on mcasey and he went on to play 200 solid key position games for another club. I am completely and utterly sick of being undermanned in the key posts, forced to play pinch hitters and alter our gameplan to 'suit the cattle' and forced to endure endless trade rumours about opposition spud talls every off season.

Picket/bergman would need to be game-changeingly elite in their positions to get ahead of these two if available, IMO.

so Keath and Bruce haven't helped your health?
