[Rory Walkerfield]

I see there’s a young guy named Luke Parks in this years draft.

we may finally get him (close enough is good enough)....

 

[Crow till I die]

If you're saying you trust hawkins in front of goal instead of walker or fogarty you are lying to yourself.

huh..you said Hawkins was a s**t kick. I put up his career stats to show he has around a 65% conversion rate. Then Deaneus put up the career stats of the greatest full forwards of all time and guess what, the average of those was where hawkins is at. I'll go by the stats that say a guy that kicked 600 goals in his career is a guy I would trust

AFL Tables - Taylor Walker - Stats - Statistics

afltables.com

Taylor walker has kicked 441 goals and 288 behinds from his 203 games. That is a career strike rate of 60%
Hawkins has kicked 600 goals and 329 behinds from his 275 games. That is a career strike rate of 64.5%

Now what that does not show is where the goals and points have been kicked from, what the weather conditions were like on the day etc etc. but over a career hawkins accuracy has shaded Walkers

Fogarty has only played a relative handful of games so is a small sample size but seems to be a good shot for goal

He is a s**t kick. I never trust him in front of goal.

 

[Crow till I die]

He is a sh*t kick. I never trust him in front of goal.

I added a bity to the previous post to outline his stats against walkers

 

[ad victoriam]

I am hoping someone bids early on Lauchie Jones. I will hate seeing PA get a free hit on someone that may turn out a Shannon Hurn or Robbie Gray type player. He will play rd1 next year for most sides.

Crows will bid with the Pick 8 its close to his value,

Imagine thinking hawkins is a better kick than walker. Comedy gold.

 

[Golumless]

He is a sh*t kick. I never trust him in front of goal.

Is there any forward you do trust in front of goal?

 

[Crow till I die]

Imagine thinking hawkins is a better kick than walker. Comedy gold.

you said hawkins was a s**t kick..his career stats prove he isn't - now move along

 

[Mutineer]

Walker might be the better field kick but when it comes to set shot goal kicking they're both guns.

 

[Murray2503]

Hawkins is actually a pretty straight kick for goal. Is a bit of a confidence player and originally wasn't all that good but is now one of the best kicks for goal out of all of the forwards.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Is he worth bidding with our pick 8? May as well make the Power pay up

It will be pick 10 by then and yes, we MUST bid on Jones, it's right in the range where he ranks.

 

[DJ75]

It will be pick 10 by then and yes, we MUST bid on Jones, it's right in the range where he ranks.

I'd love us to have a pick around pick 5 so we can bid on him there and really make it tough for Port

 

[Scorpus]

Imagine thinking a forward with 600 goals, 2 premierships, 3 All Australians, and a Coleman medal who is in basically career best form... is crap.

Jeez

Jeez

and doubling down on it too

 

[ams4crows]

Yeah no. If DGB had the potential to be a great forward, he would be playing as a forward.

No club is going to waste someone who could be a gun KPF at center half back.

Well Freo started Pavlich there, and he was AA there before moving further forward

 

[Murray2503]

Who knows, but i think this is how it should be decided

I suspect it will be JUH matched, then we take Thilthorpe at #2, and we take the best available midfielder at #8

I don't think we will be going to the draft with 1 and 8. A lot of wheeling and dealing between now and the draft. I expect we will get another two picks in the 11-14 range through BCrouch and a deal with another club for some of our picks in the 20's which we will use one of them to move the pick 8 up the draft order. Wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with 1, 4, 11.

* no penalty applied for Alicia Horan, his fake Jesus said not to.

Makes sense - both Tex & Buddy kick a higher percentage of their goals from outside the 50m.

[Murray2503]

Well Freo started Pavlich there, and he was AA there before moving further forward

I don't know if DGB can play forward or not but I would be taking him as predominantly as a back. His intercepting is elite and worth its weight in gold in stopping goals and starting rebound. Would take Thilthorpe as well but it would be good with the added flexibility of being able to throw DGB up forward if one of our forwards was in the ruck or went down with an injury.

 

[Stan16]

If Cameron gets a deal at Geelong will it affect our compo pick for Brad?

 

[hey shorty]

If Cameron gets a deal at Geelong will it affect our compo pick for Brad?

Nah, he'll need to go somewhere else.

 

[Stan16]

Nah, he'll need to go somewhere else.

As in we need to trade Crouch to another team?

 

[hey shorty]

As in we need to trade Crouch to another team?

Chances are Cameron has taken the money.

I reckon Brad is off somewhere else, and no it won't affect our compo

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

If GWS get band 1 compo attached to their first round pick, and we have their first round pick, then obviously we get that compo too ...

 

[Mutineer]

If GWS get band 1 compo attached to their first round pick, and we have their first round pick, then obviously we get that compo too ...

Surely GWS will match to force a trade?
