Tassie gun fires as the Wizard bags five in a half

Colby McKercher and Ryley Sanders were among the Allies' best in their win over Vic Country, while Nick Watson kicked five goals in a half for Vic Metro

Mckercher rated by multiple teams as the best player behind Reid apparently. Looks like the plan is cooked lads

If they win next week and we lose they will be above us. That would be a no for me. Swans would be keen though.

Well yeah we’ll probably need up with a pick in the range 6 to 8 we need another A grade midfielder, if mids are gone , there’ll be a quality tall in that range.

O'Sullivan will probably be around the mark but I'd much rather Watson or Mckercher. Both would provide year 1 impact for us where as most of the talls will take a couple of years to come on properly.

After watching Reid (totally changed my mind on him) could see him taken early or sliding.
Big question mark in ease of going to the ground , whenever he loses a contest he's flat on his back, his pretend diving tackles so he does not have to chase are glaring. He could be anything (generational talent) or a lazy conditional player, he could take years to get to the level like Raynor.
If you had pick 1, you'd be tossing up between previously mentioned or a player with a lot of Naicos traits, it would not surprise me if a lot of clubs rate McKercher higher tbh.

Who's Naicos? Draft him!

2:52s and 3:42s are just pure sexiness

I’ve got inside sources telling me that WalshistheGOAT is actually Colby Mckercher

Can confirm I have scintillating acceleration from the couch to the kitchen pantry during ad breaks

 

[Ninja Worrier]

May as well let it go now WITG

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

McCormack got sticky fingers accurate at goal and can pinch hit in the ruck, if teams are looking for a forward who can play ruck he's damn good at it.
Very skinny, GWS academy so you'd have to reach to get him but gees there's a lot to like about him.

 

[Red_man2008]

What is McKerchers draft range. Any chance we could get him if we finish with pick 6-8.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Forget about McKercher.....if we keep winning games the rest of the year, we may have to end up re-drafting Finbar

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

What is McKerchers draft range. Any chance we culd get him if we finish with pick 6-8.

We'd have to trade ahead of wherever Freo end up I reckon. Melbourne will most likely take him as they lack his speed through the middle too. Apparently North rate him equal with Reid (only according to Bigfooty talk) but they'd have to be certified insane to not take Caddy or Curtin given their lack of KPP.

Reckon it goes something like

WCE - Reid
GCS - Walter
North - Curtin
Hawthorn - Watson
Sydney - Caddy*
Melbourne - Mckercher
GCS - Read
GWS - Duursma

Think Sydney around that mark might actually look at trading down for a good deal. They are desperate for KPD and big inside mids, O'Sullivan and Sanders likely closer to the 8-10 mark. If we finished with 6-8 could chuck in a future pick or be a part of the TDK deal to move back into range.

All depends on where teams finish though, if Freo finish bottom 4 Mckercher is 99% gone. We could still discombobulate from here and be back down the bottom in no time who knows

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

With that said, I'm still just on board with getting any of Mckercher, Watson or Caddy. Duursma has fallen down my ranks but definitely has enormous upside, could end up the best of the lot if he finds a bit more consistency and intensity.

Curtin has risen up my ranks too and I concede that he would be good even if we're not desperately in need of a young KPD. Silky skilled KPD don't come around too often and he is a serious weapon off half back with his kicking.

Changing the subject slightly, I stumbled across this little gem earlier today and my head nearly fell off.

This is off the AFL's website, where Cal Twomey gave his phantom draft and 'whispers' leading up to last year's National Draft.

Basically, the man is either a genius or Nostradamus....got every one of our draft picks correct - with the exception of Cow - but of course we didn't have that pick going into the draft. Even predicted HO'K who we selected in the SSP.

He also suggested we were looking to trade to get more picks higher in the draft, which of course became reality to secure Cow.

Pure genius....I'll never doubt anything he ever says from this day forth....possibly....

His info is normally extremely reliable as he talks to list managers and player agents for a living on his podcasts. If he says a club is keen on so and so its nearly always spot on. His phantom drafts over the years grow increasingly accurate too as more and more clubs or agents seem happy to talk to him about their intent come draft night.

Hollands Binns and Cow were pretty obvious needs for us though so I wouldn't put that down to too much foresight, just basic knowledge of the draft. They were by far and away the best runners in the crop. Cow ended up sliding though and was a great pick up by Austin & co. Great trio of kids and Lemmey looks like he could be a keeper too.

Ended up being a good draft


Was getting worried he wasn’t a good drafter for the couple seasons before


Clearly is decent and just need the top end picks

If we end up getting a first for TDK watch out cause he will make great selections

If he gets us Mckercher Watson and Wilson like I put forth in one of my earliest posts in here before all 3 were rated top 10 talents in the draft I want Austin knighted!

Kemp Weitering Williams
Saad Mcgovern Cincotta
Acres Cripps Hollands
Wilson Curnow Gresham
Watson Mckay Martin
Pittonet Walsh Cerra

Young Mckercher Docherty Kennedy

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Geelongs regular ITK poster just posted that Sanders will be off the draft table - Re North requesting priority access to him given he's been a partof their academy for years and years.

Going to make things fairly interesting for teams looking for a Mid if true.
