Posted this in the draft thread . These 2 are then picked up in the next 2 picks by gws and Hawks


I like the sound of this guy. Then delist or trade berg or Frampton at years end.

7. Gold Coast – Max Ramsden (Sandringham Dragons)

Ruckman/Forward, 202cm, 86kg

Chris says: Ramsden is still quite raw and is considered a long-term project player by recruiters, but is an athletic freak who has some X-factor about him and shapes as an exciting future prospect. The 19-year-old has averaged 14.3 disposals, 17.5 hitouts and 6.7 score involvements from six NAB League games for the Dragons this season and the Suns would be looking for a future No.1 ruckman beyond Jarrod Witts, who turns 30 this year.

Or this guy

15. Fremantle – Wade Derksen (Peel Thunder)

Forward, 195cm, 90kg

Chris says: There have been a few clubs with interest in Derksen, but the Dockers will be hoping he falls to them. Fremantle invited Derksen to train with them during pre-season, but that request was denied and he has instead been left to play for the Dockers’ WAFL affiliate Peel Thunder. From three senior WAFL matches, the 20-year-old key forward has averaged 15.7 disposals, 4.7 marks and 2.3 goals. He starred with 22 disposals, nine score involvements and four goals against West Coast in Round 3.
 
You can only laugh. A rebuilding club selecting a 25 year old mid who probably doesn't get drafted elsewhere for the short term sugar hit to keep them all looking slightly better in their jobs with no real regard for the long term, while a couple of ok long term prospects (inc a pretty reasonable ruck!) sit on the draft board.

Embarrassing. But should not have been surprised. Avoiding the bottom is more important to this club than reaching the top.
 
Did you miss us passing on our 2nd pick?

We don't have a cap issue & lack talent on our list.

Yet, you think this ok... well i don't as it's a missed opportunity!

I wasn’t commenting on the pick, I was commenting on the redirected anger.

I don’t get why we didn’t use our second pick, makes little sense to me.

I’m not blowing a gasket over it though.

Your a bit of a draft guru Skippos , interested to hear who you would have picked.

Also interested in ModernArtillery thoughts on who they would pick
 
Whatever happens, just don’t select Turner at 4 and pass at 19

Ramsden was available, I wonder if this will be a regret

No !

You always have to ask why the MSD players were not selected in the National Draft .....in Turners case, he's played 65 games at West Adelaide .....so the 4 games he has played this year must have been real head turners .....a purple patch of form, or his new norm ??

Nothing against the guy but for where we are at, this was a dumb pick as he would almost certainly been available at our second pick.

We had a golden opportunity with pick 4 and failed to take it.

I'm mystified, but then again it's what our recruiters do every time. I'll now be watching the players taken after pick 4 with interest

Well I was commenting on the passing of the 2nd pick & you replied to my post... yet now you are agreeing with me that it made little sense lol.

Hardly

19 - Brett Turner (Glenelg)​

Recruited from West Adelaide, Turner rewarded his new team with an exceptional campaign as a big-bodied midfielder. Runner-up in Glenelg’s best-and-fairest, Turner also earned a spot in The Advertiser SANFL Team of the Year while ranking first in the competition for inside 50s, fourth for clearances, seventh in disposals and third in tackles.

Not anymore mate, I've been out of the game a few years. Working from the same coverage/highlights as you all are.

So my feedback isn't a reflection of Turner or his talent at all. I wish him all the best as a Crow and hope he plays 100 games. I have no doubt he's a very solid player.

My issue is with the direction. Players like Turner are easy to find - there are lots of them floating around state leagues. Carlton picked one up too. They're solid, they add value. But their ceiling is generally lower and floor higher. They're the 18-30th best players on a list, and even if they 'reach their peak' - they've only got 3-4 years at it.

I much rather we take a flier on someone who has the 'benefit of the unknown' attached to them. A ceiling we can't yet project. The scope to be a top 5-10 player on the list if the cards fall his way. Even if the likelihood is that they bust.

A top 5-6 player on a list is worth 10x more value than the 25th best player. How many McPherson's would you trade to get a Dawson? That's kind of how I see this. What's Turner going to be? A Dunstan-tier player? Ok, so if we wanted that, why wouldn't we have just gone and got Dunstan for free; because that tier of player, while by no means shit, aren't hard to find. Top 5-6 players on a list are. So take every chance to get one.

If I was in Haggis's chair I'd probably have gone for Ramsden and stashed him as a development ruck for when ROB/Strachan are cooked.

Failing that, I like the upside of Sebit Kuek or Mutaz El Nour. Carmichael offers the benefit of the unknown more than Turner does. But don't love him.

But he didn’t get drafted last year off of this form and I think that’s the point
 
Turners selection and Ogilvies comments reek of an admission that he’s drafted a shit midfield and he needs a top up. “A point of difference, speed, left and right”. Ok Hamish, why are we devoid of this type of player given you’ve been in charge for 10 ****ing years that we had to grab a 25 year old state league player?

He’s too silly to even realise what he’s said.

He just has to ****ing go.
 
And I’m telling Marty to come back so we can all give him an apology as he was bloody right all along
No, he was still wrong most of the time... & we don't miss his repetitive spam.
 
Was the list so bad at the time he said it was? We did throw away a lot of good players since

But yeah, as a general direction of travel thing we probably do owe him an apology.
He questioned our drafting, he went hard on Doedee because he really wanted Burton. Doedee is a good player but so is Burton. He had other examples like over looking Graham. He went on about relying on Tex because we didn’t have any forwards and he was right there too. Pretty sure he bagged the Jones and McHenry selections at the time too for being short people. Funnily enough he hasn’t been around to see us draft more smalls.
