List Mgmt. 2020 Young Talent time

[wild side]

Aquinas lad too, so shame.
Could've used Bell & Fyfe to push the local factor.

 

[nurries]

McDonald looks a gun. Would we not move heaven and earth to draft the next JK?
I really think we should make the move.
He will go in the top 3.

I would.

 

[wayToGo_]

I was about to say no club is dumb enough to trade away pick #1... and then I thought it is Adelaide. But even so I just don't see it happening unless the offer is outrageous and that would mean us parting with an elite young talent so no thanks.

 

[apuchar]

We will get extorted if we try and trade up for him.

 

[CapitalA]

I would do Cox, Valente and 8 for pick 1 and a later pick(s) for points. We need to make list space anyway...

 

[Demons09]

Anyone know how i can change my user name.

 

[GingerDocker]

Anyone know how i can change my user name.

They've shat the bed against the Swannies, but that's a bit dramatic

Anyone know how i can change my user name.

To Brady Gray?

They have done it to us again

 

[Demons09]

To Brady Gray?

Not only was he rubbish at AFL level he’s not much better at WAFL how he got a gig in the AFL is mind boggling.

 

[nurries]

Gray has more smothered against than Hill

DGB looks the goods too

DGB looks the goods too

Could DGB be converted into a key forward?
It could well come down to a choice between him and O’Driscoll?

If i had to choose one it would be DGB.

Unlike a lot of our fans, our recruiters don't just narrow it down to WA boys.

 

[Ge3ks]

Keep him as a backman and (re)convert Brennan Cox into a key forward. Cox is going to be a solid man mountain as continues to mature and with his marking confidence... look out.


No way on earth Freo should trade out Brennan Cox.

Would take DGB any day. O'Driscoll seems to have the Blakely's about him.

 

[Hazelsnuts]

Great to see 3 WA boys rated at around what our pick will be.
I would like a WA with our first, Trew or Carroll also look to be projecting really well.

 

[Dockeroo]

Our draft recruiters have been superb in Recent seasons. I will back in whoever they chose at our first pick, whether that is pick 6, 8, 9 whatever. They will have watched dozens of hours of footage of the likely candidates and have weighed up all the evidence e to make the correct call. I’d like it to be a WA player, but who knows, we may see some big performances from Vic players late in the day to push them into recruiters minds. A lot to play out yet. If the likes of Hollands fell to our pick it would be hard to look past him

 

[Ysaye]

Would take DGB any day. O'Driscoll seems to have the Blakely's about him.

What do you mean by that? He is not as bad a kick as Blakely IMO if that is what are referring to, and he did kick some long but relatively accurate kicks today. Also he is a really good tackler and good defensively; stopped quite a few this game and last game and took a good number of marks today as well (6).

DGB was a brave marking supremo in the second half today, and his kicking was pretty good but not Young or even Luke Ryan good and he wasn't playing on either McInnes or McDonald (so third tall).

 

[Van_Dyke]

We don't need DGB.

DGB only makes sense if Cox goes to Adelaide and we’re seriously concerned about Hamling and/or Pearce

 

[Dockeroo]

Got to remember that we are drafting a player for the next 15 years here. I really dislike putting too much emphasis on current list makeup when drafting. Odds are Hamling and Pearce will probably both be long gone from the dockers by the time DGB is 23 or 24.
You could use the same argument about Logan McDonald?
Tabs, lobb, Hogan, even Fyfe for the next 4-5 years as a forward. Should we not select him either?

I would take DGB as a player any day, but we don't need him .
O'd has a similar high knee running gait to Blakeley and a scrappy kick. We need classy skills to hit targets i50 and while adequate and not as bad as Blakely, he certainly doesn't have that. I think if we are going to use a high pick on a midfielder, this time we probably should look for skills as a reasonably high priority.. Fyfe, Brayshaw and even Serong (not showing that yet) are not elite field kicks. The easiest and quickest way to lift the skill level in a team and improve transition is to recruit players with naturally high decision-making and foot skills. The difference in outcomes anytime Mundy gets the ball is obvious for all to see.
I'm just wondering if a more complete package isn't available with such a high pick. If not, then maybe he is a pretty good option for other reasons. He certainly has some good attributes.
We have had years of winning stoppages and not being able to do anything with it.

 

[mightymouse75]

Need a classy nippy kicks with both feet winger who loves to kick a goal.
