List Mgmt. 2024 Mid Season Draft

[whiskeytown]

If they take a ruck with the first pick… then I don’t care who they take with a second pick

But if they pick a small and ignore the KPP shortage… I’ll be grumpy AF

 

[JOELY]

If we think he can play in the seniors, we should take him, no matter what position he plays. The hit rate of the MSD is shocking, very few of the these guys will make it. Same for the talls as well, if we think they are are a chance we should take them, but I'm not sure we should narrow down an already narrow pool by cutting out certain positions.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

You can add will McLachlan and jasper skaife to the list . Joe Pyke also a ruck forward. I'm sure there's a couple more

Will McLachlan is 185cm... He's already a chance to go with one of the top picks in the MSD, but if he was a key forward, he'd be going #1 without question.

I thought he was 195cm

This.

I doubt taking a ruck who will be not cut out for AFL standard is the right choice. Our injury list is that long we need players who can play now, at a decent standard

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

If he was he'd have less than zero percent chance of making it to our pick, and he probably won't as it is anyway.

Aren’t the Falcons under age? Is he 17?

Isn't this the guy who was tearing the Bellarine Peninsula league apart as a key forward. I could be wrong about his height but he knows how to find a goal or two

Problem is he’ll want to go home to his mummy within a year.

Teams are allowed to have limited numbers of overage players within their Coates Talent League squads - McLachlan wasn't drafted last year, and returned as one of their overage players, as did Joe Pike, a young ruckman who's now tipped to get drafted in the MSD.

This is nothing new - Guys like Tyson Goldsack and Tom Langdon were drafted after being overage players in the TAC Cup teams, but they're extra valuable these days because they're eligible for the MSD, so teams can get them before the National Draft.

Isn't this the guy who was tearing the Bellarine Peninsula league apart as a key forward. I could be wrong about his height but he knows how to find a goal or two

You're 100% wrong about his height.

I trust most of those boys are well advanced with their trade apprenticeship.

Elijah Burrows has already completed his plumbing apprenticeship

 

[SchuPie]

Not sold on Ryan looks vanilla and mediocre most of the time. But time will tell as our development team have just in recent times they are getting it right. TJ looks a prospect though .. again still erly days - hope he puts some meat on the bones!

As I’ve said in the VFL thread, I really hope they don’t just see him as a backman
Really think he needs to play through the centre / wing to show us if he can play
Just IMO

 

[JLC]

Disagree.

If Cameron gets injured, we are cooked. We need a ruckman to at least compete and enable our structure to remain the same.

The improvement in terms of adding another small or upgrading an existing small would be marginal.

He's trained a little on the wing, which I don't mind.

Most of the rucks in the MSD are not ready to compete.

Brynn Teakle = Yes
Joe Pike = No
Will Elliott = No
Lucas Impey = No
Ajang Kuol Mun = No
Toby Murry = ? more a Fwd/2nd Ruck

If Cameron was injured Frampton, AJ or Kreuger would have to fill in.

I think we know what we need to do. I dare not mention the name.

Krueger will most likely be injured by then.

AJ struggles to compete as a second forward, let alone ruck.

Frampton rucking disrupts our backline.

So hopefully we get Teakle.

 

[ksardog]

Hope we go with Patrick Weckert for an eye on the future being a key forward. Just coming off his best all round game of the year, 14 disposals, 10 marks on the weekend.
Seems clear that we will go for a ruckman with our first pick, but if he is available at our next selection, grab him.
